Come Along and Ride on a Fantasy Football Voyage

by MDC on Jul 17, 2007 4:19 PM CDT Comment 14 comments

Anyone interested in starting a fantasy football league? (Or, conversely, anyone have a league with an extra spot where I can invite myself to the party?)

I am willing to set one up if there is interest. I just need to know if ESPN or Yahoo is the preferred venue.

If joining a league, I am cool with whatever format-wise and buy-in-wise.

SB Nation Fantasy Football

If you're interested, I might be able to secure you a spot in the SB Nation Football Blogger fantasy league. I believe the buy-in is $20.00. Then again, your buddy BigBlueShoe is running it, so it may be $2,000.00 for you. Shoot me an e-mail and let me know what you think.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

time

I'm actually dropping one of my two leagues this year. I just don't have the time.

Ditto

See previous comments about 2 lovable rugrats.

We can be critical of the draft picks, but in the end we always support the new Texan.

Odd

I read both of you guy's posts about having two kids yesterday. Then, I go home and my wife tells me she's pregnant with our second.

Which, I suppose, is my way of saying nevermind re: the whole thing. Thanks for the invite, though.

woohoo!

Congrats!

I feel/felt like the transition from one to two was much easier than zero to one. Man, that first one was a doozy.

Especially

when the 1st is a girl. It turns out that the different chromosome really does make a difference. Who would've thought? (not counting researchers, scientists, & physicians)

Congrats Matt.

Well, congrats assuming the baby is yours.

If that assumption holds, then welcome to the club. The membership fees are high and the meetings are often, but it's worth it.

Congrats, Matt

I don't have any kids (that I know of) yet, so I can't offer any sage words like BFD or Shake. All I know is that my first born will be named "Vincent" or "Young," regardless of gender. I'm really hoping, however, that The Schaub makes a play for naming rights; I wouldn't feel altogether comfortable with my offspring having any tie to Bud Adams.

Future

At the 2018 Terlingua Chili Cook-off.

Tim: Hon, where are the girls?
Tim's wife: Well, Vincentia is over by that tent and Youngella is going to the bathroom.
Tim: Oh, ok. How are you feeling?
Tim's wife: I'm fine... I'm just ready for Bevo to go ahead and be born. It's too hot to be this pregnant.
Tim: I can imagine.
Tim's Wife: No, you can't. By the way, I scheduled your vasectomy for next Tuesday.

well...

hopefully, by 2018, vasectomies won't be the suck assed experience they are now. Well, here, let me tell you all about it (warning: gratuitous plug, pain, and all-around stupidity ahead):

Awesome.

I laughed, I winced, I threw up a little. Nicely done.

Thanks...

for all the congratulations.

Shake's warnings aside, we are hoping that this one is a girl.

re:

I'm hoping she gets my eyes. I have nice eyes.

Sporting News

SportingNews.com has some good fantasy leagues. My budget can't support any pay-to-play leagues, but I have two teams in their basic free leagues. That's something to consider besides ESPN, SI, or Yahoo sports.
