So... we're getting close to football season... Who's interested?

Knowing my luck, I'd get Vick and McNair through the draft......





If you think I'm kidding, I've gotten eerily similar picks from past online fantasy leagues

I've already forgotten about most of you

I drafted Vick twice last year...in the same draft.


Still interested though.

I may be interested

Let me take a look at the current set up and see who was in last year...they'll have first dibs on the 3rd annual.

After that I'll start taking names.

(Note: I many not be able to get to this tonight, but will certainly take care of it this week as I have to get my other leagues moving, too.)

Arc# 92382 -- "The S.P.I.D.E.R. and the Tyrant" -- Ninjas! Robots! Praetorians! It's totally epic! Play it now!

Arc # 316340 -- "Husk" -- Azuria loses something, a young woman harbors a dark secret, and the fate of the world is in your hands.

Bah. RL came up after I posted this. Def, did you already get it off the ground? Or is it still in the works? Or simply in limbo?

I haven't gotten it moving yet, and my apologies.

I'll get in to the site tonight and see what needs to be done. My problem is getting a draft scheduled because I have two drafts that I need to do live and I don't have set dates for them as of yet. (The commissioners be draggin' their heels.)

Instead of doing this league, would people be more interested in running a "Salary Cap" league. This would mean any number of people can enter (we won't be restricted to 12), and we won't need to set up a draft. Just want to see the reaction to this.

The way it works is you have X amount of salary dollars. You spend that money on whichever players you want (thus many people can have the same players). You then lock that player in on that salary and then score points for that week. The next week the salaries of free agents are changed dependent upon their performances and you can stay with your team (at their locked salaries) or purchase new players (or a combination thereof).

Thoughts?

ESPN makes this so difficult at times.

Anyone interested please PM me their e-mail. We'll be starting from scratch.

I'm going to tentatively schedule the draft for the evening of 9/8 -- start at 8pm so we can hopefully catch any West Coasters. If my other draft is occurring at that point it will be all good as that is also going to be done online.

I'm also going to start the league I suggested above and open it up to all COH players.

Well, counting me, we're up to 4 people.

We would need to find at least 4 more to make this worthwhile.

With only 4 people signing up, this didn't get off the ground, so we have this:

With football starting tonight (WOO HOO) I've set up a salary cap league over at ESPN.com.

It's very simple: you have monies. You spend the monies to make a team. You can change your team throughout the season as long as you don't go over the salary cap on any given week.

Step 1: go here and sign up: http://games.espn.go.com/gridiron/en/frontpage

Step 2: Join the group "CoH League" with the password "victory"

Step 3: Try to make your team name similar to your forum name here, so we know who to mock for taking Tony Romo.
