I was thinking of starting a fantasy football league for BA.com. I've never played before but figured I'd give it a try this year. I was planning to use ESPN.com for the league. We can do it for free, the winner having bragging rights for the year. We can have up to 20 teams. So if you're interested, post here and we'll get it going. First come, first serve. Draft date and time TBD. Maybe we can think of some sort of "prize" for the winner, like a trophy made from a silver foreman grill sprocket cover or some other contraption.

I would do it if you set it up on yahoo instead... I used to be all over ESPN games, but yahoo is so much easier. And I only ever play for free.

You're right on track there Frank. CFL is where the Yanks get their inspiration.

So I suppose it's the same football game where you run and throw the ball instead of kicking it.

Hey Scott, You organise it and I'm in. Usually this kind of thing is usually won by the outsider.

You're probably right! We'll see if some more people show some interest, a 3 team league would be pretty

I can set it up today, just have to decide on a draft day and time. I had it set up on ESPN but we're going to do yahoo instead. Since we only have 4 teams, I could set it up for total points instead of head to head. Yeah, that's what I'll do.

I have to pick a draft day/time to set the league up. How about next tuesday 9/7 at 9:30pm EDT. FrankW I don't know what time that is for you in Oz, but if you can't make it I think the computer will pick for you. I'll send emails inviting you to join the league.

Hi Scott, 9:30pm your time is about 12:30 in the afternoon here. So it shouldn't be a problem seeing as I am a senior citizen and no longer have to work.

Yeah, I was really expecting a lot more participation. Guess there's not a lot of football fans here.

There still have to be a few that would signup a team just for fun, even if they have limited participation.

Sorry Scott, I had every intention of being online for the draft.
Murphy's law again. Ended up in hospital for the night with a heart problem. (Getting old can be a ba***rd. 
Found out this morning I have to go and see a cardiologist as one of my heart chambers is beating faster than the other three, giving me dizzy spells & making me feel like s**t. 
They think it can be fixed with tablets, heres hopeing.

You're only up by six points. Wait until Sunday (and Monday). I should have played N.O. defense (I would be up by 5), but didnt think about it until it was too late.
