Who's ready for some football???!!!!

[Dan0]

Got my draft Saturday. I am forced to play by all the other males in my family. They like picking on the old man 'cause he beats their hiney.

[brutus]

I still owe from the brutal beating i took a couple years ago. i guess i should pay up if i want in on this years draft.

does anyone want to do a MMAWorld fantasy league? I think we can set one up thru espn.com if its not too late.

[brvheart]

heck yeah!!! I can hear the theme now!!!

[jeremy]

I'm running a pick all 16 pool at work.

got like 16 ppl. I dont like fantasy football. requires too much work.

[brvheart]

I think that someone that knows how to should start a fantasy FB thingy for here :D

[Grabaka]

I've never been into the fantasy thing. I live my football dreams through Madden lol. I'm excited for the season though. Raiders should be improved this year, but they still have a lot of holes. Who do you guys root for?

[Dan0]

The Raiders shoud eally pick it up this year. Russel is throwing well, and their running game should be strong, as long as the O line holds up

I root for Da Boys!

[brutus]

i dont know for sure how many we would need but if more show interest in a fantasy league i will look in to getting one set up. i guess either post here if you want in or pm me. I'll get going on the research, I love fantasy football, especially free fantasy football.

[jeremy]

Bears, Favre's team, and anybody playing the cowboys.

I agree with your take on the Raiders. They're going to have to survive on the run and their defense. With McFadden, Fargas and Bush, their run attack should be pretty nice. I'm just worried about WR. Walker's heart isn't in it, Curry is always hurt, and Carter doesn't have much experience. Also, they have zero depth at the position. Should be an improvement on last years 4-12 squad at least.

The Cowboys training camp is pretty close to where I live. I went when they were in town last time, but haven't gone this year. I was kind of bummed that they got rid of Julius Jones and Anthony Fasano, because I'm an ND fan. It was always nice to see those guys practice live.

Well, my Raiders officially suck. Nothing new though, they've been the worst team in football overall since they went to the Super Bowl in the 2002 season. If they had some kind of consistant passing game, they wouldn't be so bad. It's just hard when you lose two 4th quarter 2-score leads, 2 games in a row. Could easily be 3-1 and tied with the Donkeys for first, instead they are sharing the cellar with the Chiefs. Thanks Uncle Al!
