FTR Fantasy Football league?

Well this forum does say any topic welcome! This one is a ways out, and only for those who like Pro-football/fantasy football….. For years Ive been into Fantasy Football, but due to various things my 2 leauges “folded” last year….. so I experimented with some of the free Internet ones…. I found a great one that makes it easy and fun to draft/auction a team and manage it and play it….. I would LOVE to set up a league or so of FTR members…. because we have a comraderie on the board all ready…. and it will only be fostered by a FFL league….. so for those of you who all ready want to beat my brains out… heres a way to do it, with your very own Fantasy Football team! If you are interested email me or send me a private message and I will organize it!!! so now you know Im not JUST a goofball… Im a fantasy footBALL nut too!!….. not to mention a totally rabid fisherman…….

if you want to check out the free fantasy football league they will be found on Fanball.com check out Exit42 and Bid2play……

An awards party will be thrown at the end of the season and awards of recognition will be distributed. Good luck folks and let’s have some fun amongst our favorite website!

(Draftees were a random selection of more active posters and does not imply or suggest any perceptions or accusations of being an actual goofball)

I would be willing to play… I am a football freakin nut!!!!

Sin me up. I’ve played the internet fantasy too. It’s pretty easy. CBS Sportsline has a good one and Yahoo! isn’t too bad either.

Go Pack!!!!!

Hey Pup, how come I was left off the draft list. I’m the goofiest Goofball player that ever was.

why was I left off the list? According to people who know I’m completely insane to be able to fish 5-6 days a week for 8-10 hours in any weather ,at any time ,and anywhere theres walleyes/suagie doggies swimming.Maybe its because I dont spend enough time in front of a computer writing about fishing when I can be out doing it? Put me on the bench warmer team(scrubs)!!FISH ON!!!

i always thought it would be fun to do a FTR Survivor. Each week everyone posts the biggest fish they caught for the last 7 days, the person with the biggest fish (regardless of species) wins immunity for that council. Then everyone votes for who they want booted off the message board (or eliminated from the contest) based on their catch. The contest continues on like this until only 3 people are left, time for a 2 day fishing contest on the river- highest total weight of fish caught takes home the prize! I can see those “eyes” rolling now.

Well Gee guys! If you want to be on the list, you CAN be on list! I stated how I made up the list of 25 draftees but Leo Kam, Croix River Rat, you can come in as late entries to training camp! LOL! Thing is, you can only pick 11 guys no matter who’s on the “player list”. A successful draft needs both water dwellers and board mongers for a really strong team. If anyone else would like to be added as a “goofball draftee”, just speak up. There’s a month to go before team submissions have to be in. :O) I also would like to openly apologize in advance to anyone offended by not being included on the “goofball list”.

Carp Chaser,

Funny idea! I think I’d have to steer clear of that one though! I wouldn’t make it past the first week! LOL!

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that a Carp Chaser would want to have a weekly “big fish, any category” contest. That would be incentive for all of us to start chasing carp!

Stillakid:

I’m a little concerned about you. Where do all these strange ideas you get come from. I think you need a day off, go fishing or something.

ahh…leave stillakid alone…I like his reports and responses…besides without stillakid who would rivereyes bicker (sp) with. and he put me on his draft listLOL

all this response is great…. and the PUP sure has an inventive mind! dont he?…….. I have 4 “:teams”: so far… am I going to have to “draft” some teams to complete a field for a FFL leauge? dont be shy! this will be fun and easy… even if your in another league… give this a try… it takes very little time…. Exit42 at Fanball.com is easy, it will even set up an email draft, it even sugests players for you… and it will even select what it thinks to be the best postion player for your team… in fact autodrafted teams can be pretty good… one league I was in last year was won by an autodrafted team…..

if it comes down to it.. I will take all the guys I get and autodraft the rest…. exit 42 can even pick out starting lineups so its a pretty good owner too!

anyway…… Im going fishing TOMMORROW!!! *YAH!!!*…..

finally out again!

(sorry no PUP bashing this morning!! the vet told me he was going to turn me in for cruelty to dumb animals….!! besides hes a pretty dang good PUP!!)

Mavzer, you dont even have the time to fish, now fantasy football? A mans got to get his priorities in order.

Will B,

One cannot explain what one does not understand! LOL! If I don’t understand me, I’m certainly not going to expect you to! :O) I get days off, I do get out and fish,…………………I guess it’s not enough! Take care guy and I’m open to suggestion, as long as there’s not a bill attached! **GRINS**

just to prove that I do SO have my memory… Im gonna bring this post back up!! come on guys… I only need bout 5 more guys to fill a league and make this work… heck even the PUP has volunteered to play…. are you telling me that no one wants a crack at kicking both our sorry butts?? GEEEEZ!!!!!! I just cant believe it!!! there has to be a few members out there with knowlege and guts enough to just whup us good!!! Im looking fur a few good guys!…. lets go!!!

Hey count me in. big time I love the game don’t play it for why do they put it during hunting season but love it. How will it be done here on the site or what.

This is my busy time of the year….. [censored] Dirk if I didn’t work the whole summer I would be fishing too!!!! LUCKY [censored]

Count me in!!!!!! Just fill me in on the details. Thanks a lot.

mine is called PUP whippers (wonder why?)…

you want to choose 10 team league…

use a league name of FTR

password of FTR

then your in!….

if you have any problems let me know… its simpler then it sounds……

RiverEyes AKA PUP whipper!…… LOL

The “Water Hogs” have registered! Now what?

hmmmm PUP is a WATER HOG??….. interesting…..

well…. of course since you no doubt were the 2nd person to register that means your in MY division…. Moooohahaha….. the snot slickens…. errrr…. plot thickens…..

so now what do you do? you sit back and wait for the PUP whuppings to begin!!….

Ok… well.. seriously… as the commish its my responsibility to build the draft, then we set up a date/time for it to start…. I will set it up as an email draft, I will tell you guys how to set up your draft sheets so that when your selection comes it will pick the highest player available off your list… (otherwise you will have to “guess” when your turn will be, login and make the choice yourself!… I would NOT suggest that… the “draft sheet” works great and makes things SOOOOO easy…..

soooooo when should we start? we DO have some time.. it will take some time to complete the draft.. I would say at the latest we should start 10 days before the season starts… so that would be late august… right around the get together time… do you guys want to have the draft complete in time for the get together? so that some up close and personal ribbing can take place??

I think the ribbing will come without this FFL!!! Anyway, I just talked to a FFL SuperBowl winner from last season and he suggested that I not draft until a week before the season starts at the EARLIEST! Reason is possible cuts and injuries. I don’t want to draft a guy who doesn’t make the team or got a season ending injury in the preseason. I’m thinking you wouldn’t care to either, ay there River Liver? :O)

well you are correct, with a conventional draft where we all meet face to face the draft takes about 3-4 hours and you do that draft the week before the season starts…..

I did a fanball draft last year and it takes a while… the fastest you can set response is on hour per pick… so I think your talking 130 hours to complete our draft….

thats why the draft cards are so *kewl*….. the draft picks your best choice and goes onward…. it will acutally progress fast if EVERYONE used the draft card… otherwise it will wait the full hour then pick a player for you……

The bass assasssins are ready to draft! Thanks for setting this up for us rivereyes. Your plan for draft day sounds good to me.

~~~~~Alkfish

well we now have THREE of us signed up!… you guys picked some pretty kewl names! as far as Im concerned thats HALF the battle!!

now the rest of you… get in there and get your teams!!! lets go!

I’m in. The Lipstick Jiggers.Caught the biggest smallie of my life on one of those things. Kinda partial to them. Did Northland quit making them? I can’t find them anywhere. I’ve got a smallie/muskie float on the Flambeau River coming up and I would like to get more of them. I’ve checked their website with no luck. Help!!??

Who makes a Lipstick Jigger besides Riverdance’s make-up purse? lol
