I'd like to set up a fantasy football league for my game's community. Can someone please point me to a site for doing that ? I've never done this before.

Thank you.

I'm in 2 leagues every year and my favorite, by far, is the one where we use CBS Sports.com. I would be rewarded if you let me refer you via their website.

The other is through Yahoo and I don't like it as much. Yahoo is cheaper though.

I actually just quit my 13-year fantasy football habit. It's actually been a great feeling so far.

No more...
- Having a 30-point lead going into MNF and watching the only remaining starter on the opposing team get 31 points (most of the points in the 4th quarter).
- Over-thinking which QB to start...only to start the one that ends up having a negative week while the guy on my bench threw for 400+ yards and 5 TD's
- Dealing with the guys that pull for their fantasy team harder than their real team they've followed since childhood. And then cry about their bad luck.
- Paying for CBS.Sportsline. I know they did a good job, but come on. It was like $20 extra per guy in our league.
- Arguing with the other coaches about what the ideal tiebreakers are for individual games, divisional winners, and wildcard or playoff seeding
- Having to root for players on other AFC North teams (I know, don't draft them....but if you need a RB and Ray Rice is there, you draft him period).

I'm just a football fan now. Reality, all the way (well, as much "reality" as watching grown men in colored uniforms play a sport for millions of dollars is defined as "reality").

Even if I went 7-7 in our 14-game season. I only remembered my 7 losses. Sounds familiar.

Any other FF losers....errr, coaches thinking about quitting to raise their enjoyment factor of the NFL season?

My buddies and I have a yahoo league, but we don't pay anything, and there's no money involved. It's more of a "bragging rights" thing, so there's really not any pressure. So, it's fun and keeps us interested, but we really don't have a vested interest.


I am unfamiliar with this feeling of optimism

Thank you guys. We had our draft tonight. It was fun.

There was a question raised about budgets. I saw commissioners options for that, but couldn't determine what it was about. Can anyone tell me ?

I'm in a league that does this.

The budget is only used for players on waivers. Auction style: You place a bid on a player during his waiver period and he goes to the highest bidder when his waiver period is over.

It is not used for Free Agents, they cost nothing.

Sun Sep 4 2:00pm PDT (5:00 Eastern) is the draft.

I need one more team. I promise I won't add a QB flex spot.
