    Okay guys, it's time again to battle out the NFL Fanatsy League!!! All you need to do is reply here and PM me your email address so that I can sell it to the highest bidder on the.....I mean, so that I can get you an invite into the league! If you can think of members who might be interested, PM them and lets get a huge league going. I know last year we had 8 teams but we have room for 20 and it's a lot of fun!!!

    We need to quickly decide a Draft Date as well that everyone can be present for, I'm thinking August 26th, 2 weeks from today. It's a Sunday night and I'm guessing most if any will be stuck at work where they could not participate. Also, I'm using ESPN this year as I didn't love Yahoo's fantasy and ESPN seemed more up to date and fair on scoring. Technically this aspect of the League is up for debate, but we need to settle on the site soon if ESPN is not good for everyone.

    Lastly, and this is most important. This is meant to be fun, and has been a lot of that in the past. There will be no money won, nor entry fee's paid. This is not for profit or gain, and purely for entertainment and get together-NESS!!! So please, if you love football (NFL, sorry UK guys) and you've never done a fantasy league before, I am very, VERY willing to help educate on how this all works. Also, there are a myriad of websites and mobile apps for keeping up to date on alerts and picks for each Sunday's games so there are a lot of resources as well if anyone is interested in that.


    *One thing real quick guys, if you don't receive your invite by email within 24 hours please repost here that you have not received it.

      I'm going to need email PM's from everyone, just makes things a bit smoother on my end. Thanks for you guys joining in, looks like we have 6 more slots left right now, the more the merrier. Misfit, you think we could get a banner for this up around the forum?

      Yeah, I think I can Friday. I need to pack up tomorrow and clean up everything where I'm staying. But the first is working Friday so I'll have time then.

      No worries Kick, this year you can just redeem yourself

      Okay guys, we've got 6 entries total, looking for 6 more for a killer good year this year. Reach out to other members who you think might be interested. I have some co-workers I'm inviting and possibly we might see them here as well as on the ESPN site.

      I will be emailing out reminders through the ESPN site of the draft not this Sunday but next at 7PM MST. Please, please, please don't miss that. If you can't make it please let me know in advance so we'll have time to make arrangements. Thanks to everyone who has entered so far!

      Somebody hacked my hotmail account for the 2nd time, and I'm having a difficult time getting back in.

      We have until next Friday for the draft... correct ?

      Is there a link so we can check things out ?

      Is this the software we used in the 1st season or season 2 ?

      You guys should be able to go in and initiate a mock draft to try it out first.

      9pm est, yeah.

      Okay guys, so everything is in stone now as far as the Draft.

      OFFICAL DRAFT TIME

      SUNDAY AUG. 26th 9PM EST-7PM MST

      The draft will be like it was last year, a snake draft. There wont be a budget, because honestly we're not that hardcore. Maybe in a few years when we're sharper on this we can do a budget and all. Anyway, the order of the draft is picked 1 hour before the draft, so that will be random. The first person in the first round picks last in the second round. The last person in the first round picks right away first in the second round. If you need to, go do a mock draft. Make sure to do a snake draft if it will let you. I honestly haven't tried to do a draft and I might have to if there are confusions getting closer to next Sunday. This is going to be GREAT!!!
