I thought he's in his 40s so I had to look it up. He's 33 and apparently he spent the last 5 years trying to become a baseball player.

Yeah between playing minor league ball and broadcasting.  Seems like a perfect fit to play tight end in the NFL when you never suited up even in the position before.  I'd be pissed if I was a fringe tight end and get cut because that guy showed up.

I'm down for a fantasy league this year, count me in.

Yeah, pre-season is just a couple of months away, but it still seems like an eternity.  Lucky for me I do appreciate soccer.  Right after the NFL is over the English Premier League is in the final third of it's season, then America's MLS starts before the EPL ends.  It's not the same at all, though.  Football is literally an addiction for me.  I suffer withdrawals and depression when the season ends.  No joke.

I'll leave you with this:

While most likely I am not the best for the job I took the liberty to create a fantasy league on ESPN.

Everything can be changed but tentatively there is a limit of 8 teams, it can be increased if needed, and I selected the Non-PPR scoring as that seemed to be a point of contention for some possible participants one year ago, everything else has been left at the default settings which is I think common practice, but if someone wants a change on some setting we can talk about it here with the community.

The most important points to discuss now are whether this will be just for fun and bragging rights or will we make a small betting pool as well? If it is the latter then we need to get a trusted escrow, second we need to decide on the date, hour and the way the draft will be conducted, I know this is going to be difficult taking into account that we live on different countries but we will have to find a way to make it work.

For those interested PM for the invite link.

Count me in.




Whatever everyone wants afa as this goes is good with me.

Signed up!

Thanks for taking the initiative.  That saves at least half a page of us trying to out-polite each other.  Count me in, unless nutildah says otherwise.    


I'm good either way.  As long as people understand the difference it all the same to me.


I'm fine playing for fun, but a small pool would add a little bit of excitement.

I sent DireWolfM14 the invite link and they have joined the league so we are half way there already.

Have those users on green color shown interest on joining the league? If so I could send them the invite link.

That is fine to me.

See the post of nutildah above.


The league is already underway, we need to decide on several things but the most important are the buy in, if any, and when and how the draft will be performed, right now there is no date for the draft but there are two live draft options and autopick option and the possibility to do the draft outside the platform and just submit the results, the default option is a snake live draft in which the order of the draft is reversed each round and you have 90 seconds to make your pick, if this is the format we follow I will recommend people to use the mock draft lobby so they can familiarize themselves with the process.
