Errr, well maybe not quite yet... but we're slowly getting there. Anyway, I'm hoping to get another DC fantasy football league going for the end of the summer. By getting it all set early we can guarantee no hiccups with drafts and such.

This year I'm debating whether to used ESPN's or Yahoo's. ESPN has real time scoring so you could look at how your team is doing in the middle of a game... however Yahoo doesn't have this. Yahoo I think is a bit easier to use, but you have to wait to see your scores for a day. Does anyone have any thoughts on which they'd prefer?

The league itself will be about 8 to 14 players, maybe more if we have a larger interest. But generally it's usually....

1 quarterback
2 running backs
2 Wide Receivers
1 Tight End
1-2 Defensive teams
1 Kicker

Then you'd have an option of about 5 backups of your choice. The draft will be chosen through a list of players that you put in order... this allows for a choice in players, but also no need to be tied down to your computer at a certain time. Everyone's welcome, so if your interested either reply here or PM me.


Here's the lineup so far...

I'm in.

I voted for ESPN. I used them for a league last year, and they have a very nice setup compared to Yahoo. The free league is VERY customizable. They have tons of scoring options. I liked it a lot. You should at least check it out.

Here's some Fantasy Football news... I'm hoping to create a list of people who want to play by this weekend or sometime next week. So hopefully soon I'll be able to set up the league and have the draft at a time before the season starts.

So if anyone's interested you can either PM me or respond here. If you're into football it's very fun and it's very easy once you get the hang of things. Anyone who's never done a league before is more than welcome to play so don't be shy. Oh, also I haven't really decided on ESPN or Yahoo yet... I'm used to Yahoo, but ESPN has some nice perks... so that's still up for debate too

I'd join again, but I can't.. I'm moving out of the US (to Japan to live with my relatives until I get my own place), and getting settled will take a long time. I also won't have as much access to news on the NFL since no one really cares about it all that much outside of the US

Well we're definitely short of people, we have 4, but 6 would be better... even 8 if possible. So if you're moderately interested we could really use some more players.

Awesome! I'll make sure to add you to the list. I looked at ESPN vs Yahoo today and found that ESPN was rather complicated and hard to get around. So I decided on Yahoo for simplicity and familiarity. I've set up the league and will PM you all the information tomorrow or early this week. I can still add people up until draft day which isn't for some time... so the game is still open to anyone. Although us Bills fans don't take to kindly to Cowboys fans . We'll beat you in a Superbowl someday..... *cough* maybe.

I've set up a new league due to technical difficulties, but we should all be set now. I've sent everyone the information to get in through PM's. I hope to be able to draft by this weekend or mid next week, but we shall see.

It's time... I'm going to set Draft Ready on most likely Saturday Night... so have your draft list ready by then. If anyone needs me too push it back I can for possibly a day or two, but we need to have our teams ready before Week 1. If anyone is still interested there is still time to jump in, just give me a heads up before Saturday and I can get you set up. So.... Lets go Buffalo and uhhhh squish the fish
