Any fantasy football players here?

Seeing that TL is a little community, I thought I'd see if there are any other fantasy (American) football players here.

Now, if you are reading this wondering what fantasy football even is, check this link out - http://football.about.com/b/a/088041.htm

In a nutshell, you make your own football team, taken from players on all different real life teams and then play another person in your league (who also has their own little team) and the most points wins.

It's fun and addicting.

If anyone is interested in playing, respond here and if there's enough interest (at least 4 of us, if not more!), I'll set up a league on ESPN.

That sounds like a pretty fun idea brown. I used to play fantasy football (real football where you use only your feet ) and it certainly is really addictive.

I'm a fan of NFL as of early this year so it would be pretty cool to play.

I'm not a die hard fan of any one team yet but I am partial to the Colts and the Patriots hehe.

If there's interest, I'll make a league. I'd like at least two more participants.

I see you've gravitated to the 2 best teams in the NFL. That's just too easy. You need a team like the Browns - a team that gets your hopes up every year only to totally crush them later. It's a fun emotional ride.

Denver Broncos FTW. I've never really been a huge fan of the NFL, I love college football though.

Re: Any fantasy football players here?

I know what that feels like Brown. In the Australian football league my team (Geelong) has been a big underperformer with heaps of potential. When I was a kid they made it to 4 finals in a row and lost them all!

This year they are on top of the ladder so I hope they can come away with a premiership

Reminds me of the American football team, the Buffalo Bills. 4 Super Bowls in a row, and they still couldn't win the big game!
