Can someone please explain 2 me what in the @#@##$ is fantasty football? Seems like something some nerd who never played sports came up with.

Agreed. I've never done it.

I'm not even getting any fun out of this Org pick 'em thing. In order to win, I've gotta pick against the Texans and root for them to lose. What fun is that?

Shuddup.

FF is HUGE now, dawg! Even the PRO players are playing it.

The object is, you pick a team of real NFL players and points are alotted to them based upon their performance in a real game.

Example: Reggie Bush runs for 113 yards and 2 TDs - 10pts per yard/6pts per TD = 11pts + 12pts = 23pts.

Well, it'd be more fun if my picks were better.

RodeoSchro said:

Then make better picks! It's not our fault you suck!


I'm actually doing quite terrible this season as well

I ave 4 losses a week.....which is pretty good.

CarrieLee said:

I make GREAT picks, the players just don't hold up their end of the bargain.

I think I went 11 - 4 the first week, and assumed that was going to be my lowpoint. Instead, it has so far been my peak. I haven't had a losing week, but they've all been like 8-6 or 9-5. I keep expecting to pull a 12 -2 or so.

I heard a professional bettor one day say that to beat the bookie's juice, you have to win 57% minimum against the spread. He said the smartest guys he knew were doing good to reach 54%.

Hey!! Hey! Be nice now But on the real. Fantasy football is cool, if you get a good running back. All FF is about is just setting scores or pts for current NFL players that you draft for your FF team. It is pretty fun if you get the right players. This is like my 5th year playing and I have finally picked up some good players. Alot depends on what type of league you are in. I am in a league where RB (running backs) are huge for pts.

It is fun. Fantasy basketball is cool too. Give it a try.

I hear ya. The concept seems so corny. I'd rather go out and PLAY the game.

It actually makes more sense to me to root for individual players that you like rather than blindly root for a team that represents your city (until they decide to move away from your city).

FF is way more involved than I'd ever get, but if you'd rather play the game, does that mean you don't want to watch football on TV either?

I can ONLY watch the NFL and NBA playoff's. I can't sit and watch other sports on TV. Talk about boring.....

Graycap23 said:

I'm kind of the same. I like sports, but I'm glad I'm not hooked on it. Just imagine how much time you could waste on college football.

I mean if that gives a person joy, then more power to them, but football games are LOOONG!
