I have been playing fantasy football since 1983. I think we were the first fantasy league in Tulsa. It is a total waste of time, but fun.
I have started a league for TulsaNow folk.
It is a yahoo league.
i just signed up!
Thanks April Racer!
I set a limit to the first 12 players.
Let's hope some others join in soon.
I'm in.
Start crying in your wheaties now losers.
If I signed up, it'd be under the name Fodder because that's all I would be...
It is easy.
The computer picks the team for you and then you just watch those players each week.
There are three kinds of fans.
1) The fan who likes a good football game and even has his favorite team.
2) The fan who gambles on football and wants to know the final score.
3) The fan who plays fantasy football and wants to know who scored.
4) The fans who join just for the trashtalk.
Losers. [:P]
We have four players and we need some more.
It is easy to sign up and play.
Spread the word.
Last time I did this Yahoo thing was a couple years ago. There were 20 teams (bad), and the QB was worth at least 5 times the amount of points that the rest of your team combined was worth (also bad), but it was fun.
Something to glance at in between TU games.
We have six of our 12 teams signed up.
It is free and fun for any real football fan.
what are the stakes?
maybe it shouldn't be monetary!
I just looked up RM's profile on yahoo fantasy...
Teams Managed: 48 !!! [:O]
...has more hardware than the yankees!
Did you see the story on the billions of dollars of lost productivity because of fantasy football?

Kinda makes me feel both guilty and proud at the same time.
If you allow flying blocks I'm there..........
[:D][}:)][B)]
I'm in- Gridiron Grizzlies
We have seven and need at least one more and prefer five more.
This is a great way to enjoy football. Spread the word.
One dropped. Got 6 now.
Back to seven again- need 1, 3 or 5 more.
This league won't draft unless we have an even number of teams. Spread the word.
I'm in for #8. Have you set a DRAFT DATE??? I'd like to know so that I have my final rankings in before then...
Sorry, after I signed in I noticed the 9/4 draft date posting. Good luck everyone!
Wk 1 is in the books and the SuperSpark are in the lead...
Is no one here gonna talk some trash?
Wondering how everyone feels about their team after the first 3 weeks.
My team is now 2 and 1 and has won two in a row.
That first week I blamed the loss on some tainted spinach my team was fed by april racer.
I knew I should have questioned the salad buffet he offered.
Unless Michael Vick fails to make it to the game, I'm heading straight for 0-3.
Hooray!
Yeah, MichaelC, your team kinda sucks.
Your running backs are in pain from the splinters they get while sitting on the bench.
Your receivers are slow and couldn't catch a cold if they hung out in a day care.
Your quarterback is so busy doing television commercials and wearing that helmet thing just makes him look poorly for the cameras.
Your defense shouldn't even have a "d" in their name. Let's call them "efense".
Your only hope to win is if your kicker finds some way to throw touchdowns after the fumbled snap.
You in a heap o' trouble boy.
Heck, you're even better at trashtalker than I am.
I'm not worthy of being called the Filthy Trashtalkers. Hence forth, or at least until the day that I magically start winning, I shall be known as Little Cupcake.
That's some serious trash there- think I'll just sit here and learn for a bit.
Don't sit out, throw down.
The only way your team will win is if the NFL keeps scores like golf, the team that scores the least wins.
Oh so sad, oh so true.
If you have to be the whippin' boy, might as well become a masochist. Little Cupcake.
Yeah? Whatever!!
Your team is so well known for sucking that their season ticket holders include George Michael, Boy George and Elton John.
Your players, even though healthy, are still considered to be PUP- Physically Unable to Perform.
Your cheerleaders were borrowed for the fiming of the remake of The Longest Yard.
Your football team recruits from the math team.
One of your players wears the infinity symbol on his jersey and another player is numbered pi.
Your cheerleaders only hold one pom pom because using two would require sitting down their beer.
Your coach has to hold a big arrow on the sideline pointing the correct direction so your running backs stop scoring safeties on themself by running through the wrong end zone.
You play on artificial turf to keep your cheerleaders from grazing.
Your idol is Jerry Jones
You look like Jerry Jones
You want to smell like Jerry Jones and have difficulty explaining why you know what he smells like.
You pay your fans to watch your team lose.
Your team commits so many penalties that game day is also known as flag day.
Your barefoot kicker is proud that his son is the first generation of his family to wear shoes regularly.
Your offensive tackle spent his entire signing bonus on lottery scratch-off tickets because the two things he likes the most are gambling and scratching.
I hope Green Bay grows a defense. Or Donovan McNabb comes down with a case of raging hemorrhoids.
Getting ready to be foiled twice on Monday night. Left enough points on the bench to put it away.
You scored a lot of points for a cupcake.
Do you make the cupcakes using the cup from your athletic supporter?
I think your team would have scored more touchdowns if they hadn't tripped on their skirts.
Your defense is so afraid of hitting the guy with the football, you would think that they believe it is against their religion to touch a pigskin.
I use my zero in the win column to make cupcakes. My team doesn't wear cups, just panty liners.
I like my cupcakes oval.
Can't wait for 0-10. Though I'd triple my output at 0-8.
I'm presuming it's a little too late to join? Too bad I just saw this.
We will do it again next year...that is, if we don't kill each other with kindness.
Little Cupcake gets off the schneid. Now 1-4. Too bad my entire offense has a bye week next week. Had to bring in a 3rd QB.
One of you had to win. You team and the team from iplaw were both 0 and 4 and playing each other.
Don't brag until you beat someone who actually knows football.
Talk more smack, though.
Oh, and tell your player that being a running back doesn't mean he has to run backwards.

I guess I still can't brag then :)
The Grizzlies choke on the Cupcake. News at 11.
True- got smoked. Manning and Harrison alone killed me.
That's the first time this year that Manning and Harrison paid off big. I think Harrison had only 1 TD for the entire season before yesterday. Bout time if you ask me.
Still have Toomer and Jones playing tonight. Keeping my fingers crossed to bust that elusive 100.
RM, your time is up. You're getting mulched this weekend.
Cupcake must have been moldy.
1 down, 2 to go.
One more win, and the league champion will have a losing record.
Little Cupcake 7-9 and in the Championship game.
I won the regular season championship but lost last week in the playoffs.
Come on Cupcake, you can do it.
I am the champion, my friends.
I'd like to thank my mom, and my sponsors; Little Debbie and Famous Amos. Thanks commissioner.
I'm going to Disneyworld!
All Hail MichaelC and his team "The Little Cupcakes".
Fantasy Football was great this year. I am in multiple leagues and outside of TulsaNow, it was the greatest waste of my time in 2006.
Anyone playing for 2007???
