So i predict they start the season 1-2 (beating the Steelers of course) and Johnny will be in by week 5.


Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh...

Encouraging news for those of us in fantasy football land who are in keeper leagues and feel like rolling the dice, e.g. me. Betting most people's drafts start in a month or less. We want a pick 'em set up this year? Think we neglected it previously.

A) That's been suggested before, but never been done, probably because:

B) We don't have 10-12 members of this board who are football fans.

This is just picking game winners. We used to run two, one with spreads and one without.

Well, we could always ask friends who aren't DTMan... if anyone has any?

I'd say the minimum would be 10 people.

I see me, you, Leish, Stranger, ... ?

8 man is the minimum. Also, I won't fantasy with anyone who doesn't watch The League.

A) I've played in 8-man leagues before. Your bench can be so deep that you have to come up with non-standard scoring systems (like damn near playing all your dudes every week). It's like playing poker with 3 people.

B) I am unaware of that show.

I've seen previews for it, does that count?

TPR, Gordo and Thib could join and just, uh suck.

I'll join a thing that involves a one-time set of making random decisions (like a March Madness bracket), but if it involves ongoing attention I probably shouldn't get involved.

I'm in, if I can be Taco. Because that's about the level of attention I'd be giving it. I don't follow pro ball. Don't care enough to research it. And I WILL be playing hurt players. But my password won't be Taco.

We didn't have any Indian girls in our school. So, who's Indian classmate will the trophy be based on?

If we do fantasy football league(which is an excellent idea), we should consider inviting any wives that are good and or play.

My wife has finished higher than me in a league at least once. She would probably stomp some of the dead weight.

e: omg my wife is Katie Aselton from The League holy shit

Justin Blackmon is an idiot.

I'm a big fan of this fantasy idea.

Katie is smoking hot.

Also, if you're not watching The League, shame on you.

If we get to the magical 10, I'd be in. 8, I'd probably still do it, but it won't be as much fun. If we find enough, we should set ground rules like PPR or not, how defenses get scored, etc.
