Fantasy Football?
 

Anyone play fantasy football?
I got a free league going on espn.com called UJBills, its just some friends and family, but we still need a few more owners.

I play english fantasy football everynow and again. I didn't do too bad with my Euro 08 team but i've given up on the Premiership after i came a lowly last in my school's network last season :(

that's called soccer here in the more evolved half of the world. We're talking about a Man's game.

When is the draft and is it online?

Man's game? Pffft. Man's game (no helmets required):

Just grown men in their underpants pretending to cry in front of a 1/4 million people only to have a miraculous recovery when the referee in legitimate fear for his life brandishes a yellow card.

When people go down in american football it's because a man who could bench press the entire soccer pitch collided with them with moving at a speed just slightly faster then the first steam powered locomotives operated.

Irish Born, Liverpudlian for nearly a decade, but an American football convert to the core.

Aug 30, 10 pm EST, and yes it is online.

Yeah but no one kicks the ball. ;) I have watched an American Football game once, I managed to paint my entire garden fence and still had 250 adverts left to get through.

except for the players in the extremely important position of 'kicker' and 'punter'

Must have missed that bit snoozing ;) Do you win money for the best team at the end of the season like we have over here?

There's no doubt that the football (american soccer) has the clear right to the name. First and foremost as you mentioned you actually use your foot a good majority of the game where is in the NFL the role of kicking the ball is relegated to the guy who was not good enough to play in the MLS let alone premier league, and thus has put on his helmet and become "a kicker".

In addition it came first and has "dibs" which of course holds up in any court internationally. Also the rest of the world calls it football so America might need to project a bit here. American Football should just be called what it really is: An excuse for men to gather for 8-12 hours on a Sunday (and some Saturdays) consume copious amounts of grilled, fried or pizza related food. Drink in excess of a case of beer, gamble on things he has no control and insult his friends, who have gathered with him and have taken his money.

That is real Football.

:ROFL: Any excuse for men to drink copious amounts of beer will always be found.

Rugby Union , pussies game

Rugby league is where it's at :D

I'm down Thrice, PM me.

PM sent a couple days ago.

Draft tonight.

So how did you do on your 1st week of FF?

Just a few notes:

- Hope you didn't pick Brady as your QB...*gulps*
- Turner in ATL did great last Sunday
- Eddie Royal from DEN: Who would've known he would out-perform even TO?
- Good job to Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers...even w/ AP on their backs!
- Significant routing: Chicago over Indy; Denver over Raiders...

- Doesn't matter where Jason Elam kicks, he does a great job...

Didnt do too bad.
Im a die hard Bills fan so with my second pick instead of taking LT I took Marshawn Lynch.
Lynch did better than LT anyways.
I have Thomas Jones and Ricky Williams also starting at RB, and backing them up I have Chris Perry and Chester Taylor
Then for WR I have Lee Evans, Calving johnson and Larry Fitz...kinda shallow for WR but I'm looking to trade.
QB-Brees and Favre. for some dumb reason I played Favre thinking he would destroy chad penn and the fins, which he did do well, just not nearly as well as Drew Brees. Favre will break the Madden curse this year.
And for my money maker I have the Bills D/ST, I dont know if you witnessed it or not but the ST destroyed the Hawks this week making me the most points of my players with 19.

Sounds good right?
Nope lost to my cousin who scored 102 points this week!
So im 0-1. But I have a consistent team so I think Ill be alright.

In response to youre...
Ya Eddie Royal who? Exactly what a badass.
Did you really think the Raiders were going to put up a fight againt the Broncos?
Unreal that SD and Indy lost eh?

If the "LT" here is the one I think it is, he is a HoFer now. I don't think either of them would have been a bad choice to put on your roster.
