This may be cutting it a bit close seeing as we're 2 weeks away from the season opening but I thought I'd give it a shot. If we could get a minimum of 8 (max12-16) people interested then I'd be happy to set up and run the Prog Fantasy Football League. Sign up in this thread or pm me. At first just state you're interested and would participate, and if we get enough people then I'll pm everyone with league sign up information. Also, this will be a free league, no money required, just a positive attitude and a love of football.

I've tried the past two years to get this going, but we haven't had enough people. You can put me down for participating.

6 more to go!
Maybe a little incentive is necessary. As stated before this is a free league, no money required. However, I would be willing to give a prize to the winner. How about a progarchives t-shirt, any color any size, shipped to the winner.

I'm good, won my first time and would've won the second easily but one poor game killed me :(
It can be kinda hard/time consuming if you want it to be, but you can make it easy as well.

As long as you watch football, it doesn't take much time aside from the draft and it's not hard.

Yes, but it would be nice if you checked your players weekly so you're not playing hurt players or playing people who are on their bye week.
We got 6 people, 7 if Epignosis plays, so we are pretty close to getting something started. Any suggestions on what day of the week the draft should be?
Also, I have no problem being the commissioner, but if someone else would like to do it speak now and then you can get the ball rolling on creating the league and invites. Otherwise I will be creating the league in the next few days and sending out invites once we get 1-2 more confirmations....
*I will be using yahoo for the league, and will stick fairly close to their default point system, so if anyone has a problem with that please let me know.

As long as you're active and pay attention to things like injuries and bye weeks, then yes you could play it strictly as a statistical game.

If we can't get 8 people total I'd be more than willing to play in a 6 person league...
If we did do a 6 person league I'd like to have a bigger line-up than usual. Something like :
2 QB 3 WR 3 RB 2 TE 1 WR/RB/TE Kicker Def/Special
*This would be a head to head league.
As always suggestions are encouraged. But if in the next 2 days we don't see any more people signing up I will send out invites to the league. After that we can reconvene here and hash out when the draft will be/starting line ups.

I'd do a 6 person. It's not ideal, but it's not a big deal. I prefer deeper rosters anyway. Personally, I think 4 WR makes more sense with only 2 RB.

So if we can get Epignosis to commit then we got 8 people.
The league has been created, pm with your e-mail and you will receive and invite some time afterward.
With 8 people, what kind of roster are we wanting. I prefer only having 1 QB but I could go either way.
Here's what I'd like, but please post what you would like to have - 1QB, 3WR, 2RB, 1TE, 1WR/RB/TE, 1kicker, 1 Def, 6 Bech.

Sure, some people just have it auto pick for them, which you could do and get a decent team. (although is doesn't take into account injured/traded players, just last seasons stats). If you can make it to the live draft I don't think it would be hard to pick players based on the information provided (last years stats and such) and a bit of intuition. It would also let you see what players the other people are choosing, and what round they chose them in, something that could be useful to aid you in what position (QB,RB, etc) to pick.

I think I understand the game much better now that I've looked it up. 
I'll make an effort to craft a winning crew. How does the live draft work though?

When we can reach a consensus as to when it will be held, no later than 9/2, then everyone will log into the league at designated time(via yahoo) and a random order will be chosen. I believe we are using the centipede style where the order wraps around and the first and last place person get to pick back-to-back(twice). It will probably take a total of 40-60 minutes to complete, and has a built in chat so you can lay down some smack talk. I submit we do it on Wed 8/29 sometime mid-day, but my schedule is very accommodating so I'll be able to fit anytime.

I forgot about mock drafts. You can always participate in one of those and get the feel of how it plays out. You'd also get a lot of info about what players are popular choices. They can drag on a bit, but you do get a nugatory yahoo medal for completing one. ((_8^(I) mmmm nugatory

I prefer a real draft. If you don't want to participate, the system will autodraft for you. It's a win-win.
My account is created. It should be fairly easy to see that I'm the one with the Euler avatar and the eagles/math pun.
I love (what I assume to be Anton's) name.

Well, I did great my last 2 times, let's see if I still have my magic. It's my "lesser" players I always kill with. That and some epic moves, or both in one! I won the title thanks largely to Jerome Harrison, started him just because and he had that epic streak including the 250 yard game

Just log onto the Yahoo league page a few minutes before the draft. Once the draft starts the countdown ticker will turn into a Start Draft button. You can also log in anytime before the draft and click the "Quick Start" button to try out a mock draft just to get the feel of the software before the real thing starts.

We'll all be sitting looking at our draft screens. The players will be autosorted according to Yahoo's rankings. When your time on the clock comes up, you will be alerted and you will (if I remember yahoo's interface correctly) drag the player that you want to your team. This will end your turn. Rinse and repeat.

Not positive, but it should make the webpage display an active alert depending on your browser. I've always kept the window open during a draft usually while watching another sport.

So we only choose individual offensive players? For defense we choose a whole team. Is this correct?

Im enough of a football nerd to just wing it this time. I never really used those crazy lists and rankings much at all so screw it. That is what really ate up my time last game, all that damn prep that was pretty useless.

(Well, three of them)

~ 1 hour till draft
I would love to invite Plankowner but we need an even number of people in the league, so if we could find one more person with haste we could fit them both in...

My wife is in another league with me... she pretty much chose players based on if they were cute/handsome/hot. She has a pretty solid team.

I tried picking only white people, but there's no sort by race.

You could always add him and then another dummy team for an even 10 and hope we can find someone else to play before week 1.

He's not online right now. If he was I could get a non-PA guy in so he would be able to play.

Oh hell it was Rob who got Drew Brees! I hate you.
Also well done, he was my savior last year. I won a match with three people out thanks to him <3

He was my number one pick.
I also wanted Adrian Peterson and Steve Smith (Car).

Only pick I'm uneasy about was Ravens Defense. I really hope those aged f**kers can hold up one more year. Besides that Im stoked from top to bottom.

So during the draft some Hawks vs Steelers superbowl debacle was addressed. I know it may be beating a dead horse but here an article with quotes from the veteran referee http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5444048" rel="nofollow - http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5444048 . Like any sport, you never want to leave it in the hands of the officials, however they are there to ensure the game is as fair as possible. Either way I hate the STEALers and I guess that makes me a sore loser... f*%k worthlisbeger.
On a more positive note, thanks for everyone who joined and participated and I hope this can be a yearly event here on the archives. Good luck to everyone, and for those who missed out this year or others who maybe interested, I was planning on doing a Fantasy NHL league this season, so if anyone is interested let me know.
