Hey all, My computer has been broken for the last 2 weeks (currently using a friend's) but I should be getting a new one soon. Not many people watch football on the forums, but I think a lot of people on the forums are quite competitive, and I think something competitive would benefit the forum well, so why not a Fantasy Football league? You get to watch a few games and gauge your interest maybe, or draft Adrian Peterson blindly and destroy us all while you couldn't care less? For those who don't know about Fantasy Football: Via Wikipedia wrote:"Fantasy football is an interactive competition in which users compete against each other as general managers of virtual teams built from real players. The players that an individual is able to manage are professional American football players in the National Football League. The different actions people are able to make are drafting, trading, adding or dropping players, and changing rosters. Due to the growth of the Internet, Fantasy football has vastly increased in popularity, particularly because Fantasy football providers such as ESPN, Yahoo, CBS, and the NFL itself are able to keep track of statistics entirely online, eliminating the need to check box scores and newspapers regularly to keep track of players. Most leagues have a single week championship in Week 16 of the NFL season" If I get enough interest from at least 3 other users, I think I'd be able to go through with it, and maybe it could be an annual type of thing. EDIT: Perhaps there could even be a prize for the league's champion year by year. INTERESTED: DistortedAudio McKenzie kandii freestylechamp Stephaniewazhere PANIC!

Great! We need two more people (I might be able to swindle a few friends into the league) at least.

Nice. Now that we have the minimum number of players needed to sign up, I'll leave it open for others until tomorrow at 8:00 PM. Fantasy Football Leagues usually allow up to 12 players, so if anyone else is interested, you have until tomorrow night.
Thanks. |

Jokes aside. I do know a little about football, not too much but enough to do this. I guess this could be like a learning experience for me. I'd be down!

Yeah, it's all about learning more about football and trash-talking, and maybe just maybe some people will join the league and then watch a game and actually like it. |

I'd be interested in joining. I'm already a member of a few fantasy football leagues and have experience in it, I'm a massive football fan. On what site would it take place? |

Well, we'll be doing them on ESPN.COM, you'll have to create an account which literally takes 40 seconds and after that head to the fantasy section. The league's named will be The Rockstar Game League. The password will be: TRSGROCKSThe password will be in all caps. Draft will be on Saturday Night @ 8:00PM. League Cap will be 6 people since I have to make it now. So ONE MORE SPOT OPEN. EDIT: Whoops, I lied. When I created the league something wonked out so there are spots for more than one more person.

Right, so. The last spot is waiting to be filled, only a few things left before tomorrow night's draft. We need to figure out the name of the league's championship. Also the league's schedule has been unleashed: http://games.espn.go.com...asonId=2013&teamId=0EDIT: Also Kandii, it appears you joined the league I messed up with, the right one is in my post with the steps.
