    Same here in my other league... My opponent had Brandon Marshall AND Chris Johnson to take me out of the semi-final round. I didn't have a CHANCE.

    yep lost in my other league in the first playoff round. Fell prey to Jamaal Charles and Ryan Grant. Aaron Rodgers was just one of my duds, my kicker scored more than my receivers :ugh:

    I guess it's not over. Who is the Ditkas? You beat me by a point to double your winz. Maybe I should have checked to make sure my transaction went through. :biggrin:

    We need people that are going to stick with it. It sucks when people give on their teams half way through.

    Agreed! I think we already know who the active people are. Maybe send an invite to them and bring in a few new people.

    I'd like to see less teams or a smaller roster. The free agency market suuuuuucked last year. Add in the fact that nobody trades.

    We used ESPN last year, and I think Chris was the comish. If not, I can set up an ESPN league. I much prefer espn to yahoo, but just personal preference.

    I'm in for this year.
    I was the commish 2 years ago, on that yahoo league. I could start one up a espn league this year if last years doesn't return.

    My vote is for 10 teams, and folks who post up better stick with their team for the year, or it'll just be way to easy for me to win.

    Yep the CHAMP is here to defend his title. I agree with Bullwinkle people need to stick with their teams because the only way he can win is if everyone quits.

    And yes 10 teams. Has anyone tried NFL.com fantasy? they have video replays of every score. I hated ESPN, way too many point corrections. Any chance we can do a Live draft at a bar or something? It's a ton more fun that way.

    Nope, never tried nfl.com fantasy. I don't have a problem with something new, and that site looks good.

    I like the bar idea, but not sure we can get everyone together for a date/time. Maybe do an online draft and then have a bunch of people get together at a bar for their portion of it?

    aaaaand, strike this guy off the list lol

    I'm sure we could find a fairly central BDubs and nerd it up with our laptops. I'd be down.

    nfl.com works for me.

    Just waiting on Badbennys info, and we'll have 8. Anyone else interested in playing? If you are, please be able to commit to keeping track of your team for the whole year, otherwise you'll just make it even easier for me to stomp on everyone.

    That Old Chicago is fine by me. The Draft is set for this coming Sunday at 4:30 PM CDT.

    However, we still need two owners to get up to 10, or we'll need to just play with 8.

    BUMP for more people. Who wants to join?





    EDIT: Looks like I suggested a bar too soon. I will be out of town on Sunday, so I will have to remote in on my laptop for the draft. So for those of you meeting up for the draft I guess pick whatever works for everyone else. Sorry about that.

    Old Chicago works for me too. I assume they have wireless and can sit us by an outlet.

    I don't know about everyone else, but I'd rather have 8 if the last 2 are dead weight and never make moves.
