I'd enjoy getting to know any of you who are interested in joining a very casual fantasy football league. Just send me a note if you want... and go Chargers!

i join, I dont know a thing about Fantasy football though, go Giants

I'll do it if you get enough people.

what team you gonna be?

We have four teams at this point, so with 2-4 more owners the league can fly, and ten is optimal. Kairu, it sounds like you're not familiar with fantasy football, so let me just give you an idea of how it works. You don't select a real NFL team, like the Giants. You "draft" individual players at different positions and Yahoo keeps track of how many points their individual performances earn. So for example, my QB might be Payton Manning and my Running Back might be Adrian Peterson - they don't have to be on the same NFL teams. At the end of the week, Yahoo adds up points for how many passes completed, yards rushed, TDs scored, etc. and my guys get 100 ponts. Meanwhile you have Romo at QB and LT as your running back. Their performance (and that of the rest of your guys) give you 110 points for the week, so you beat me. Get it?

Anyway, it's fun because rather than one person getting lucky and getting the Patriots and another person knowing they're hopeless from the very start of the season because they got stuck with the Dolphins, this requires a little skill and maybe even some research to decide if you should pick Steven Jackson or Brian Westbrook.

If it sounds like fun to you, we have a manager who runs the league who has several years exerience and the players are not hard-core so you won't get flamed for dumb questions or anything. Send me a private message and I can give you the league info if you want.

so you draft the best players at there individual positions....sounds easy

It requires a lot of strategy actually. I play rotiessiere baseball so I would know.

sweet I'll join.
If you guys want, I'll tell you about the two different drafts and some decent strategies.

Our GM needs to set the draft date and all the teams must be established by next Monday (Wed at the latest). I don't want to put the league ID and password here publically, so if you want to join up contact me and I'd be happy to give you the link. Then you can see the rules that are specific to this league.

Hope to hear from you soon.

I will join
