Post by: flip on August 30, 2008, 07:06:37 PM: All my other leagues filled up real quick so it really kind of surprised me. I guess most kidney patients aren't into fantasy football. With several teams to keep up with, I stay really occupied during dialysis.

Post by: rose1999 on August 30, 2008, 11:38:53 PM: It's not only for the guys, I manage a FFT here in the UK and I don't know a great deal about football. I won our 'mini' league 2 years ago - total fluke but great fun! It was great to beat those guys who thought they knew all about it :rofl; Of course it was beginners luck, last season I think I finished mid table. Loads of women do it over here.

Perhaps you could explain a little about it this season and more people will join next season?. I didn't join simply because I don't know anything about the US teams or players (apart from David Beckham ;)) but I'd encourage others to give it a go just for fun.

Title: Re: Fantasy Football League
Post by: flip on August 31, 2008, 06:00:43 PM: I have 5 myself which are pretty competitive. I thought it might be fun to have a free one for the folks on here. Maybe next year.
