I am a major NFL Football fan. As you can tell in my avatar deal I am a Saints Fan. I have played Fantasy football for the past 7-8 years or so. Every year I run a couple of leagues with local friends of mine. Some are free and some we put some money up for to keep it interesting.
Earlier the thought passed through my head of having a Fantasy football league made up of my UO friends. If you have never played before...it is pretty simple. My wife played for the first time a few years ago...she picked her players based on attractiveness and ended up barley losing in the championship game and placing second. There is a little "skill" to it mainly just understanding how it works...but like my wife who had none of that...anyone can play and do good. I would suggest tho if you are not a Football fan then it prolly wouldn't be all that fun. Although, it could turn you into a fan. It does make watching games a lot more interesting.
I'm not moving forward with this idea yet...just thought I would post this here and see what kind of response I got. Once we figure out if we are going to take a shot at setting up a league we can decided if we want to keep it free or put some gold up. Free is fine with me...but if we put 10m up each or something it could make it a little more interesting. I usually stick to 10 or 12 person leagues. And if we have some people that are not so Fantasy savy it may be better to go with 10 person...picking players and everything is a little easier in 10 team leagues due to the stud players being more available.
Let me know what yall think. I would like to see what kind of response I get in the rares forum as this is the community I personally associate with more. But if we can get 5-6 people interested I will go ahead and create a league and hunt down a few more people. I play in Yahoo and ESPN. But I prefer Yahoo.
Thanks for checking it out and I look forward to hearing your responses.
