Hello everyone!
I'm bad at websites and often forget that this place exists, which is why I don't post much, HOWEVA! It's the awful part of the offseason where OTAs have just started and everyone looks really good according to all the beat reporters except that One Guy who showed up out of shape!
Long story short, anyone up for a fantasy football league? Cheap-to-no-dues. We can come up with some silly bets if people are into that kind of stuff.

You know what. I've always avoided fantasy leagues b/c it seems like way too much work. But I'd strongly consider joining this one.
And if we do an even simpler survivor league on the side I'll definitely join.

When I saw the header 'fantasy football' I chose to focus more on the first part of that. So I had this idea that maybe I was trying to organize an adult flag football team for some reason. Like maybe my team was made up of immigrants from, I don't know, India, and they were really excited about the idea, but none of them really understood the rules. So I basically had to play quarterback by default.
So this led to me going out to a local high school practice field on nights and weekends and working on throwing a football. And maybe a local, non-union Jessica Chastain equivalent is out there running on the track for exercise, among other people, and she wonders why I am throwing a football to nobody all the time. So we get to talking and she wants to help out, deciding that it is more fun to run routes than run laps. Maybe she snaps the ball to me, too, but then that might be a different kind of daydream.
It culminates in our team being pretty terrible but not caring because they have a lot of fun, and maybe one of the Indian kids takes over as quarterback after I sit out the second half of a game because I got heat stroke from making out with Local Jessica at halftime. But everyone wins! Sort of. I guess this is what comes to mind when someone says 'fantasy football'.
What I am trying to say is that I might not be a good fit for the TI Fantasy Football league but I hope it goes okay.

I'd be game, but fair warning, if I'm not doing so well I tend to lose interest and start forgetting to manage my roster around the mid-season mark. Unless it's one of those unicorn years where the Vikings are doing well, I just don't follow the NFL that much to get super invested.
That being said, if you wanted to start a Big 5 conferences only college football fantasy league, I would be ALL over that.

Alright, so a few people are game and I'm bad at responding to threads, but I'll keep that in mind when the season gets closer. I'm glad there's some level of interest!

ARE YOU ALL STILL INTERESTED??
I'll make the league in the next couple of days and we can start working on a draft date.

I may or may not be at a festival that weekend, but if everyone else is fine with it I can autodraft.

No worries. I'll be posting in the TI tomorrow so there's a good shot there will be another league made. I'd prefer not to go over 12 people in this one.
