i am counting down the days...

I'm with you. Baseball is sooooo long. I always wind up in a baseball league where 3 or 4 lose interest by the break. Bring on the football!!

Which Fantasy Football site does your league use? We have been using Yahoo for years.

If there's enough interest, maybe we could set up a league with members from here. I'd be in.

sounds good.

I'm down...dig it

We could also try one of those weekly pick 'em pools that Yahoo has. I'm a little better at picking winners (no nose comments, please) than I am running a FF team.

Thats sounds good too. Lets stick to that.

I waste way too much time managing one FFball team already.

I'm in. But only if I can yell at Mcgee!......just kidding. We use yahoo also
and for the price $0 it is definately the best. As soon as yahoo opens up football
lets start one up. Lets see if we can get a couple more people from the board or if anyone has friends that would be interested let them know

a'ight, sounds like a weinner.

ALL PRO SPORTS ARE RIGGED!!! I won't say another on this subject... Womens Beach Vollyball now there's a sport

OK, I'll keep my eyes on Yahoo for when they start opening up the pick 'em leagues. If anybody sees it before I do, let me know.

I'm in if you guys go with a yahoo FF team. Keep us all informed.

Fantasy Football has given me an easy 100 bucks in the past couple years. I will do the league but I will never be able to update all season because I'll be out of the country Sept-Dec. But count me in if you decide for it.

Count me in as well. I'll be watching the board for when this is formed!

Were up to 8. Good start. Can't wait. I am getting my ass handed to me in baseball.

I know the feeling. My hitting is awesome but my pitching, can you say stinking it up!? Can't wait for FF to start.

Baseball is so long???? What about the NBA? I thought hoops was a winter sport!

I know, basketball seems to drag on longer than baseball, but I'm not a huge fan of basketball.

I'm with mom on this one. The NBA takes way to long. Why don't they just start their season later if they want their finals to fall into June.

I think there should be a rule against any sport thats season is played when its snowing and also when its 90 outside. Hockey is the same. Way too many regular season meaningless games. If anyone is looking for another fantasy football alternative try homegrown sports. I think its out of baltimore or somewhere close and its either free or pay. If you fund your team you win cash prizes and if not its just for fun. Played that for 2 years. Its ok but I still think yahoo is the way to go for free fantasy sports. If we get enough for the football league what are everyones thoughts on drafting? live draft, on-line draft, or auto draft? Its always hard finding a time thats ok with everyone for a live draft but at least we should all live pretty close by.

My vote would be Yahoo it's free and auto draft.

Auto draft would be good for me. It would be difficult getting all the bodies together for a live draft.

auto draft (pre-ranking)

I concur

It's unanimous

Who's going to create the league?

Samy, you or myself...

It looks like Yahoo's free FF is open for signup.

Somebody start it up. I don't know enough about it to be the commish.

Done Deal. Yahoo league # 5048 password (hagerstown). Once we get all the spots filled we can go over the league settings and scoring. For now I put in Head to head and basic scoring. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas for scoring bring them up and we can change anything before the draft

My Michiganders are pumped and ready for this season of H-M forum fantasy football!!!

Signed-up and waiting.

I'm in.

hmmm I have never had a 'flex' RB/WR position on my team before.

After i check out the cheer leaders i`ll pick a team. LOL
OK Sam go ahead and Yell at me.

Mu Hagerstown Bears are all set and ready to go.

CommuterMike, I believe the flex RB/WR position was created for those fantasy players that like to pick the likes of Marshall Faulk. Can anyone confirm?

McGee>> No more yelling from me. I'm out to win you over so you'll see all of us outsiders aren't so bad..LOL..Of course I'm sure some of them are idiots..LOL
Now lets play some football!

The flex position is just an extra spot. You can use a RB or WR at that spot. With 8 bench spots your sure to have an extra RB or WR and this way it keeps the scoring up.

Thanks for the clarification Samy0. That means more potential player candidates for me.

So far were up to 5. Biggins and Greedy haven't signed up yet but Ithink I read Greedy was going on vacation so we'll save spots for them. If we can get another 5 we can go with 12 team league. Spread the word and ask your friends. Lets fill it up. Unrelated subject>> Has Sydney Ponson ate the 22 Million he signed for? That fat scrub is well on his way to losing 20 games this year! Another wise pitching investment for the Birds!

I'll sign up tonight/tomorrow because all fantasy stuff is security restricted at work. I am in, but I'll get destroyed unless I get the perfect uninjured team since I'll be living in France til mid-December.

France???? that sounds like fun...NOT! Tell Chirac to kiss my...never mind

Whiplash registered and ready to do some damage!

I'm in...
Meat Plows

love the name!

Thanks works good with my fantasy hockey too.

I also use Northern Snakeheads alot.

Gdawg you playin'?

Ive had a couple of people email me and ask to be in the league. Any objections to letting any "outsiders" in? I would love to fill the league with regular posters from the HM but not sure if we'll have enough. Of course if any of you have any friends that would be interested feel free to invite them also....Meatplows! perfect!

bring em on...

How will we set the draft order?

Also, can we do the draft after the pre-season games? We dont want to draft a player and then have them hurt b4 the regular season.

Yahoo picks the draft order randomly right before the draft. If anyone has a better way of coming up with an order I could set that order but I think letting the computer pick the order randomly is probably the best option
