Any interest in a DU fantasy Football league?
I ran the league last year and was wondering if I should run one again this year.

Need at least 8 people. 10 would be better.

6. PM me the details.
And if it's a live draft, please make it on the weekend. Otherwise it's over before we West Coasters get home from work.

11. Thank god
Yahoo is smooth for me, my PC occasionally crashes on ESPN.com. If I could make any request it would be Yahoo fantasy sports.

12. Yahoo it is.
I play other FF games on Yahoo and if I pay the couple of bucks, it gives me live scoring on all Yahoo leagues for the season.

17. This Sunday?
I think that makes it 3 PM Arizona Time here. AZ time confuses the hell out of me considering I have to figure out if we are on pacific or mountain west as we stay the same time year 'round.

Back to your point I'm free virtually all day this coming Sunday. Just let me know where to sign up.

There's no telling who's going to go down between now and then.

43. I did a mock draft just because I was so anxious to get it started
Edited on Tue Jul-28-09 07:39 PM by JonLP24
It is a good thing though. I have a wireless connection on a crappy laptop. My connection is pretty good but I have to hold it against the window occasionally but it does get a good signal. When I learned that whenever the draft browser disconnected when it was my turn it would draft the player for me and I ended up with Roy Williams and Ronnie Brown the next time I cut it off. Then I figured I can't have this stuff happening to me on draft day so I reopened it and whenever the guy before me was on the clock I held my laptop against the window and it let me pick my players with no interruption.

I may do another mock draft tomorrow and try to get through the whole draft without the system making picks for me.

45. He probably will be avaliable
Edited on Tue Jul-28-09 07:53 PM by JonLP24
Roy Williams is very talented but he didn't do great last year so he is a risk the way I look at him.

My receivers stack up like this.

1.Larry Fitzgerald
2.Randy Moss
3.Anquan Boldin
4.Andre Johnson
5.Calvin Johnson

According to the Yahoo Rankings Boldin is low for his caliber which is understandable but he missed 4 games and had to have screws in his face and still had 1,000 yards and 10 touchdown which makes him my #3.
