We talked about it during the offseason, and a lot of people expressed interest. I've played fantasy baseball for years, and I've found there are only two things that can make it genuinely interesting and fun: a) an actual entry fee, to ensure that people are at least somewhat invested in giving it their best, and/or b) playing with people you know outside of the league somehow.
I've never actually played fantasy football, but it seems like great fun. So, how about we make it official? If we can get enough people to sign up, let's a MoFo Fantasy Football league.
I would like to humbly suggest Yahoo! Fantasy Football. They've been doing it for awhile, seem to have a decent system in place, and they have a free option we can use. I'm open to suggestions, though, and will hold off on starting an actual league until we've heard everyone out on whether or not it's an acceptable venue.
First games are in about 2 months, so I'm admittedly putting this out there a little early, but I don't want us to slap things together and come up short at the last minute.
So, who's in?
UPDATE: Draft is tentatively set for Saturday, August 30th at 4:00 PM EDT.
EDIT: I'd like to keep track of the responses here, so we can get a feel for how it's shaping up:
ANOTHER EDIT: I'm noting which users have confirmed their involvement and created their team's on league page.
I CAN'T STOP EDITING: I've updated the list with team names.
