So we haven't had a fantasy football league in a couple years.
The biggest challenge is always finding someone willing to run it.
Preferably someone willing to do weekly recaps, but that's not an absolute necessity.
Gadiantor did this admirably for many years. Nag him some and maybe we can get him to do it.
Otherwise, how much interest is out there for this?

Definitely. Prefer a league with real $ buy in and there's a bigger reg. prize.

Fantasy Football League?
Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my Uncle Jack off a horse." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse."

I'm definately in and I'd be willing to run it. I run leagues every year and love doing it.

I'll play, depending on schedule. I'll have limited internet connectivity until the beginning of October.
I'm free to do whatever I, whatever I choose and I'll sing the blues if I want

The Cowboys are just a bust. There is no "or" for them.

Absolutely interested. I'd rather not run it, as I've only had 1 year of being a commissioner under my belt, but if need be, I would.
There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here; or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try to talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that left. I gotta live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So go ahead and stamp your forms, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit.

We have 5 people in no matter what. 2 people in who want a real money buy in.
So lets discuss:
1) How much $$$?
How ever much is paid in, we will pool it together and then I'll match it to double the pool.
Then we will split it usually something like 60/30/10 for first/second/third.
2) What site do we want to use? I think we have most often used ESPN here, but I recall some people saying Yahoo was a lot better.Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my Uncle Jack off a horse." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse."

I'd prefer to at least have a 10 man (or woman) league. I think that with that many players, $15 to $25 dollar per player. That way, you're talking about a pretty nice prize for the winner, and the third place player getting the registration back (in the form of reg, obviously).
I've heard that ESPN was good stuff, but I've only ever used Yahoo, and I love it. If the Threshmish is happier with ESPN then we can use it. Whatever makes it easier on the Threshmish.
(TL : DR) As far as I'm concerned, I'd say ten players, $25 a piece, and use Yahoosports.There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here; or because you think I should.

I have played the past three years purely on ESPN. I heard that Yahoo is nice but I have never tried it myself.
