2009 AP Fantasy League(s)?


Ok so I am getting a little antsy but any thoughts out there about AP fantasy football leagues this year.  I imagine that with so many more people around here this year, a single 12 team league would fill up pretty quickly.  What about 3-4, 12 team leagues with a means of then deciding the "grand winner"?  Would stink though if a bunch of people ruined things by signing up and then bailing.  Thoughts?

We may have another "official" one this year

Go ahead and organize however many you want.

I’m bowing out of fantasy this year. I’ve finally admitted I just don’t care enough to keep up with it.

I have a league that I always do with old friends

I have never done two leagues though. Does that dilute the experience for any of you “mutileaguers” out there?

What!!!??

As the reigning AP fantasy champion, this is disheartening.

That is exactly how I feel about it

It can be fun, but it is so much work. And I just don’t like the way it changes the way you watch the games. You shouldn’t be rooting for a Bronco just because they are on your fantasy team.

by TheQ on Jul 2, 2009 8:31 PM CDT up reply actions  

Eh

I usually just use it as an excuse to not feel quite so bad when someone from a hated rival plays a good game or busts a big play. It [took] some of the sting out of Brandon Marshall’s TDs and Nate Kaeding’s field goals when I knew they were netting me points in the process.

When it comes to KC, I’ll root for my team over my fantasy player(s) 18 times out of 10. The fantasy teams simply give me more “purpose” to watching games other than KC’s every week and help me get to know individual players’ throughout the league better.

Bask in the glory that is Kwame Harris. Poor Alex...

Good points............

That is the way i look at it too. I just play in 1 FF league, with my little brother and friends.But i dont go to the extreme’s that some people do, i dont make a list or anything like that. I just go by players and what i know about them. B.Westbrook has saved my butt many times over the last 3 years,as my 2nd RB, but i might have to find someone else to take his place this year.

I got an idea for a great post but no skill

A comparison of the 4 AFC West projected starters, charted, and ranked.
Needs a great Chart, alas no skill. Maybe you want to run with it? Or someone else?

I'm bad at explanations but heres a decent link:

Bottom line is that it takes about 5 minutes per week to set your lineups, but if you get into it like many, it can be quite time consuming. It does change the way you watch games, for better and for worse.

Maybe I better stick to midnight commenting, NOT!

AP has already changed the way I will watch Football in 2009.
Baby steps :)

I'm interested

I was actually getting ready to ask if AP had an annual league. Seems like everybody here knows enough football to make it interesting.

I'm in

Pretty hardcore when it comes to fantasy football.

If we had a...

suicide league or one of those bogus salary cap leagues, we could accommodate everyone. I’d like to see a big suicide league where you just pick the winners with point spreads each week

I'll do it

I really like the ESPN free leagues and how they are set up. However, half the people quit after week 4 which sucks.

If we arein an AP league at least we know everyone will stick it out and makeit fun.

I'm in for

an AP fantasy league. I generally do 4-6 teams each year, spread out over Yahoo! and a couple other sites. I’d love to get in on some AP FF.

by Seth_C on Jul 3, 2009 12:10 PM CDT reply actions  

Id also like

to join a league here on AP. So when the time gets closer Im definately in.

Don't blame me, I voted for content of character.

by paratrooper on Jul 3, 2009 12:15 PM CDT reply actions  

If we go ahead and do this I would recommend....

Espn’s free leagues especially if theres some people who are newer to the idea. It’s the most user friendly and best quality of all the fantasy league systems in my opinion.

I am ok with ESPN. I have used Yahoo for four seasons now, and like it as well. I wont quit. Fantasy Junkie right here! How do the drafts go?

Can't wait to put my pads on a Raider, My Helmet on a Hater. I'm the Arrowhead Gladiator!!

Sounds Cool

I’m 40, is cool still cool? I just heard that jean shorts are no longer cool, and I am in such denial!!!!! Please help me!

yeah dude...

Jean shorts are definitely out… That is the only fashion advice I can give, that is unless they are cutoffs, which are cutoff right above the pockets “ears.”

Im game for a fantasy league...

and since im relatively new to this forum/blog I would suggest that newbies of this place would be in one league (or leagues), and that the regulars could be in another, with the caveat that the winners of the “noob” leagues could earn their way into the other league.

by averagegatsby on Jul 5, 2009 9:59 AM CDT reply actions  

OR!

We could do this for the long term and set it up like European soccer leagues, where good fantasy players get to play good players, and when you do poorly you get demoted.

I am an active owner that loves wheel and dealing. I’m usually in 4-6 leagues.

I'm down...

… I’m in 4 and would love a crack at the AP faithful.

Prefer Yahoo, but am open to anywhere.
