Fantasy Football interest thread

Post by Merk » Tue Jun 29, 2010 11:36 am

Guys,

Football, the greatest sport ever, starts in about 2 months. Would anyone here like to play in a fantasy football league? It'll be casual and we won't bet money or anything goofy like that. Any interest? Even if you don't know how to play you should join, everybody starts somewhere! You can pick up on it pretty quickly by just playing - it's how I learned. In fact I went from not knowing what the fuck is going on during the 2008 season to completely trouncing everyone and taking 1st place in 2009! You don't need too many people to play either, I think I played in a 6-person league last year - I imagine we can get 6 people out of IndyDDR.

It enhances the football experience and it'll give us something to talk about on Monday mornings! Perhaps it'll bring the ITG and non-ITG crowd together <3

Who would like to play?

I've never been interested in fantasy football before, but for some reason the thought of an IndyDDR league intrigues me. If this materializes, I could possibly be persuaded to join up.

You're right, excuse me, American football.

Joe you in? Brian I would love to have you in a fantasy football league. Get Brandon involved he seems like the type who's played once or twice.

Unfortunately, I don't like football.

Well, I liked Tecmo Super Bowl for the NES and NFL Blitz for SNES but other than that I have no interest.

That's fine Joe, I can respect your opinion. Just know that you're more than welcome to join a fantasy football league that may or may not happen!

But did they actually have NFL blitz for the SNES Joe? Something seems fishy about your anecdote.

Back on topic here!

Who wants to play? If you have any questions about how it works just let me know, I am fired up for some great Fantasy Football discussion.

Bumping.

I want to make this happen. It will bring us all together as a more cohesive group. Don't be bashful!

I might actually be interested in this, assuming you're thinking a yahoo league or something of the sort with no monies involved?

Yep! It would be a Yahoo league and there would be no money involved. It should be a chill and friendly time.

Alright, we got one! Who else?!

As long as school isn't too insane this fall, I can probably jump in. Ask again when it's about to start up.

Alright! That's two. Don't worry I'll PM everyone the league details once we're definitely doing this.

Who else wants to hop on the bandwagon?

I'm in.

But I expect a fantasy marching band league, too.
