Keep in mind that each NFL.com Fantasy Football league is

open leagues or even create a new league yourself.

We hope you enjoy NFL.com Fantasy Football. Have a great

Dont know the first thing about them.

Always looked kinda interesting. Just never got around to actually participating in one

or how about a suicide football pool?

how it works..everyone puts in $ amount, like $100 for the full season. Get 100 people in, that makes pool $10k.

Before games are played each week, person has to put in 1 team they want to win, no point spreads, just straight up winner. If your team wins, you advance to the next week. If team doesn't win, you are out for the season.

You can only pick a team once during the season. After you pick a team, you can no longer pick that team for the remainder of the season.

At the end of the season, whoever is left splits the pot. At any point, if unanimous, the pot can be split by all remaining players. Example, if 5 players remain in week 14, they could all decide to split the pot.

I played last year, had 370 entries for $37k. I went out in like week 10. I think 7 people made it to the end. Same group this year is trying to get total 700 to play. Definately makes gameday bit more interesting.

I didn't either until last year. Easy to do, simple to maintain, try it, you'll like it.

If only I had time, I would play.

But unfortunately, some of my favorite players in the world are not starters. And if I can't pick them, I won't pick anyone else in their place.

I was talking about BigGun's pool idea. I might talk to the people @ work here, 50 people @ $50 is a $2500 pot, and $50 for the whole season is not a huge investment

as far as fantasy leagues, I am terrible at replying to trades before gametime, not having internet @ home, and it's not real important to me... it's a kind of "pick some guys and stick with them all year and forget about it" for me.

Time? The time it takes is about 5 minutes a week...even I can do that! Come on!

I still say suicide football pool...just need to figure out who to hold the money in escrow & manage the picks...all the time it takes is to pick one team...and make sure you don't pick same team twice. Strategy is when to pick marginal teams..

Gambling is illegal.
