Fantasy Football (in Contests)

If we can get 10 people interested in doing a fantasy football league I will start one up.

I'm thinking we make it for money (paid either with CBD or USD). I would poll the interested people but thinking either 5mil ($10) or 10mil ($20). Regular season winner gets half. Play-off winner gets half. If you're interested but want smaller buy-ins let me know also.

I would do the draft over Yahoo or offline with cb chat prior to next Thursday.

CBSSports.com has a decent setup for Fantasy Football over the internet. I'm trying out their NCAA version this season, and it seems like it would be a great way for CB.

CBSsports is the best of all the sites to run a FF league.

I have used Yahoo, Foxsports and CBS and there is no contest. CBS has the best and easiest interface.

If we can get 10 people I would be in. We have to decide how to do the draft. The CBS site has a way to have everyone online and make their picks in real time.

I would be in but would be unable to do an live draft. Can just rank my players before hand.

I've only ever used Yahoo or ESPN and just like the Yahoo set-up much more.

We can do an online draft with Yahoo! I only tossed around the offline in CB chat idea in case that would be easier if a lot of people needed different times.

If you want to do it and think you know anyone else who might be interested as well point them to the thread.

If we use Yahoo, count me out. I have my other leagues on CBSsports and it is just easier for me to use that website.

Haha yeah and I have all mine on Yahoo. I'm just trying to see interest. We had enough trouble doing these things when we had 300 active users a day.

Me thinketh your ante is too high considering how few American Football fans we have.

Maybe for CB. But I am 2 leagues. One is 350 and the other 550. We take our football seriously in the States.

How are we coming along on this?

5 people have responded. Not very well. Season starts in 5 days. I would have liked more time to recruit but I just returned to the game a week ago.

I want to do this too
