    I played once in the mid 90's, and I didn't really see the appeal and haven't played since. It is funny how far it has come in the years since then. You can't watch ESPN for 5 minutes without a Fantasy Football mention, and they even have specials on it. And there's even a comedy show (The League) that revolves around a Fantasy Football league.

    As for being too old. If this guy isn't too old for Fantasy Football...

    then I don't know who is.

    Oh yeah its crazy now

    When I started we had maybe 2 magazines out there and we had to check the newspapers for all the scores

    We had to make the scoring system up and do everything by hand

    no live draft? live drafts are the best. only thing is it gets confusing having to pay attention without your computer keeping track of everything. after a few pops things get a little dicey.

    by the way--i think my team blows. we switched to ppr this year and i forgot until about the 3rd round. i was working off the regular lists :o:lol:

  • My husband is commish for his FFL. Had their draft last night...I think it's the 14th year. I help him prep for it (he always waits too long to get a draft kit and I end up printing all the stickers) and I'm the 'board girl'...always a good time! The rest of the season he drives me nuts though.
    No time to be void or save up on life...you've got to spend it all.

    Mr. RK is doing his draft right now...

    It was 2 AM and the last round and was the first name I could think of. And yeah and I am dumb for wasting an earlier pick on a kicker, especially a rookie, but it was getting late and I wasn't thinking straight. And earlier I mean like 13th round.
