I hate football, but...I love fantasy football. Who's in? August 11, 2016 8:42 AM   Subscribe

Looking to set up a MeFi fantasy football league, but first I want to see if there is even any interest in losing to me. What do you say? Is anyone ready for a lesson in humility? It's fine if you don't know much (or care much) about football, but please be committed to sticking with it for the whole season. Please let me know if you have any questions.

So, just because I had a moment of confusion over this: I think this post is for NFL/American/gridiron football, and the other recent post was for Premiere League/football/soccer.

Where will you be hosting the league? How do you plan to draft? I will consider losing to you.

Yup I'm in.

Vote for yahoo to host, simple snake draft, standard settings & no ppr.

As an uneducated Englishman I don't know much about NFL but as I'll be following the Packers (and, less so, the Bears and the Dolphins) throughout the season I'm up for some fantasy football.

I'm definitely in.

I'll play, mostly to feel like I have something relevant to talk about at work with my sportsball coworkers.

Okay! We'll do Yahoo Fantasy Football since it's pretty easy. Here is the link to join.

Please let me know if you have any trouble signing up, and.....PLAY BALL!

A fellow English handegg fan! Capital!

Have registered. Will be drawing up my handegg shortlist whilst watching the opening day of the football. Yay! Sports.

By the way, what are the go-to NFL podcasts these days? I've not had one since Grantland died.

Simmons has started the Ringer NFL Show on his new site. Haven't heard it, but it should be similar to the Grantland pod.

We've got room for four more teams, if you or someone that you love wants to get involved. Also, please note the live draft date; if it doesn't work for you, there is an option to auto-select players in an order that you've chosen. Live drafts are a great way to start a new year.
