Fantasy Football 09-10 season

No smelly socks or jocks here just some good ranting about your favorite team.

Postby rhonnin » Fri Sep 04, 2009 12:55 pm

30M people play fantasy football in the US; 6.5M are female. Unknown what percentage of the 6.5M have crew cuts and own Melissa Etheridge's Greatest Hits.

The very first fantasy football league was founded by Bill Winkenbach, part-owner of the Oakland Raiders, and four other colleagues on a business trip in 1962. Originally called the GOPPPL (Greater Oakland Professional Pigskin Procrastinators League), it had eight teams and paid out after every score.


ghost ship noun. 1. A team that is not being actively managed by its owner, or the act of not actively managing a fantasy team

You're not allowed to complain about four things in life: nudity, free food, free drinks, and fantasy football.

Yep, you all should be getting an e-mail from ESPN about joining the league.

Now we just need a couple of more people to join so we can set the draft time up and get this thing started.

Anyone else want to play?

Just so people are aware. The first game is Thurs. (8/10) at 8:30. SO if we are gonna draft we kinda need to hurry up.
