Looks like a great league, DC. JG must be excited - outside of Fantasy Bass Fishing, I think he only wins in football-related games.

Actually Don Sicilia, NFL.com is a lot of fun. It's head to head format and playoff format make it very interesting. A nice change from a points only league.

Although with Head to Head, as our friend Plaw taught us, EVERYONE MUST play and stay active for the entire season for things to remain balanced.

Right guys?

Head-to-head fantasy football is my favorite game of the year.

I only played head-to-head fantasy football one year in a league with guys from work. I had the highest point total, by far, but didn't even make the playoffs because every team I faced had their best game of the year. Horrible luck for me that year.

I would have joined this league, but I don't think I can handle anymore fantasy sports. I'm putting too much time on the baseball leagues already as it is. I'm worried my girlfriend will leave me if I add another league

GOD DAMMIT

anyone making a Yahoo league? Send me a message so I can make sure to get in on time

Don Sicilia posted this earlier, so be happy

It's going to be a crazy adventure!
I'm looking forward to it!

Will there also be a salary cap and survivor and pickem games?

Of course - I'll set those up in Auguest

August!? That only leaves a month to plan!

Just a reminder that the automated draft is on September 1st. So don't forget to to pre-set your rankings before then.

Nice, thanks! I didn't realize I was gonna beat DMC in the first week

The way the draft order was determined was really weird. This is the first draft I've been in where the "snake" method wasn't used. It didn't work out in my favor. After doing some study, the only guy with a draft position worse than mine was JG.

In any case, the draft is only half the battle.

** Just in case anybody gets funny ideas, I'm not accusing DC of anything. I'm just saying that nfl.com has a goofy draft methodology.

I have to agree with you about that Don Sicilia. They really do have a strange method with their draft.

Last year I e-mailed them questioning their method and they replied that they felt their way was an effective method, but that they would re-visit it for the next season. Obviously they didn't.

But either way I still happen to enjoy NFL.com Fantasy Football.

I've never played on NFL.com before. I'm looking forward to it. I was playing around on it some this weekend and my wife was wondering why I was on it so much when the season hadn't began yet.

I'm back, and ready to play.

This will be my real NFL.com test -- I've played a couple of their minor (playoff) games in the past, and hated it. It's a cumbersome, confusing and unwieldy interface compared to Yahoo and ESPN -- but we'll see. Figured I'd give it shot. I don't have to come back next year...

Funny how we all have different views and opinions about these things.

I find the ESPN formats to be rather confusing and find their site rather cumbersome to navigate.


Too many unneeded options if you ask me.
