TheSizzle36 is on a distinguished road
Default Cougarguard Fantasy Football

Who is playing this year? We need 12 teams. I'd like to give it a go. If we have a ton of participation, we may consider 2 leagues.

Anybody have any recommendations for the league we use (I've always used Yahoo! with my buddies and like it) but I'm open to new ways of playing.

Let's set something up.

As the current CG fantasy football champ. I must return to defend my crown. I think Yahoo is as good as anything else.

I'm in! I'll even set up the league if you'd like.

whoever set up the league last year did a terrible job.

whoever it is, is fired.

No, it wasn't me. I know who it was...and as I recall nobody else seemed to have a problem with the format.

If you can't handle losing, then you should think about starting a 1 team league...you can set it up the way you want and win every week. You could even get the players you want...it would be perfect!

If I am the league setter upper this year, I will tweak the format so that everyone has input...if that will help you sleep better at night.

I think I came in 2nd or 3rd.

I think I will pass on the bush league this year.

The whole point of the thing is for people to stay attentive and to work on improving their team. As it was, once the draft was over, pretty much the season was decided, because no free agents available.

No wonder there was such poor participation.

That isn't true at all.

I believe I picked up Marques Colston a week or two into the season and a lot of people tweaked their rosters.

I do wish participation had been better last year, and if we do one this year, we need people who are "fully invested."

There won't be nearly as many roster spots, so that it can be more desirable for some. But if you don't want to play...that's fine too.
