I was finally going to sell out and play fantasy football again this year after a couple of years of nobly skipping it, but a couple of people flaked on the league now and I'm not sure it's going to end up happening. If it doesn't happen, I'll shrug. Just as well to keep my NFL viewing experience in its purest state.

He likes it because they believe in superstitions and stuff.

SE's humor is just too intellectual for you LKJ

I didn't play fantasy one year and missed it badly, so definitely like doing it.

Makes me more amped to watch other games as well

I always lol at this attitude torwards Fantasy football. I can hardly watch any sporting event in its entirety and really didnt lose sleep if the broncos lose or if tebow dropped ortens jock at practice. But FF makes things so much better, I actually care about the whole league and what offensive my star running backs team has.

I may not be a true fan but notasinglef***wasgiven

yes, obviously i wasn't exaggerating to make a point. there's definitely a better chance of the planets colliding than boise st. beating georgia.

I have 4 leagues all with friends this year. Two I drafted, one I missed but my random team could be a lot worse, and the other is the only "for money" league, and that draft I think is this weekend.

i'm happy with how my team turned out.

PPR:

stafford
rice
forte
felix jones
v jackson
manningham
daniels

amendola, collie, pettigrew, burleson, orton, sims-walker

This. Obviously Im going to care more about carolina winning than my fantasy team, but fantasy makes every game relevant and worth watching. Its great for football.

for ****s and giggles then, what do you actually think the chances of uga going undefeated playing boise sts schedule would be this year? just ignore the game against each other

50% or so

Christophersen · 09-02-2011, 05:50 PM

This is normal league:

ben roethlisberger
arian foster
steven jackson
austin collie
brandon marshall
hakeem nicks
jimmy graham
gotskowski
packers D

bench: josh freeman, james starks, mike tolbert, danny amendola, lance moore, steve smith

next league I think is like a ppr/bonus league mixed, some weird rules, you get extra points for like 100+ rushing yards or receiving yards and bonuses for long catches etc.

peyton manning
javid best
rashard mendenhall
calvin johnson
mike wallace
tony gonzalez
marques colston
matt bryant
cowboys D

bench: ben roethlisberger, daniel thomas, austin collie, LT, plaxico burress, AJ green

It's great for football when fans are huddled around a TV caring about which player scores rather than which team scores?

Okay.
