    For about the 12th year, one of Free Republic's members is pleased to create a Yahoo! Pick'em Fantasy Football league. The league rules are simple: Pick the winners of each game Assign a confidence value to each game Post messages to each other on the message board that include bad puns Donate generously to Free Republic at the end of the season in the name of the top point earner That's about it. It is a wonderful time waster that really doesn't take much time. I tend to pick all the games in preseason for all 17 weeks, then look...
  • [vanity] Fantasy football: Tre Mason or Matt Forte in my TD-heavy league?

    Only 1 point per 25 yards, 6 per TD. Yes, Forte is a stud - and the coaches have committed to getting the ball in his hands - but if he couldn't find the end zone against the Packers or Vikings how will he do it against the Lions? Mason has established himself as the #1 RB in St. Louis and faces the generally pathetic Faders.

  • Fantasy football: Legal questions arise as gambling games grow

    Some of the newest incarnations of fantasy football look a lot more like gambling than intricate, outsmart-your-opponent strategy games. Since 2011, the billion-dollar fantasy market has been infused with dozens of daily and weekly games. Those games allow players to win huge prizes quickly, sometimes in one week, sometimes in just one night. With players betting thousands or even tens of thousands a night, legal experts believe it's time to review the section of the 2006 federal law that was written specifically to protect fantasy sports from being banned the way online poker was. "There's importance in clarifying the law,"...

    I have one league that's going strong into its 6th year and is full. I have, however, started a second league that's "experimental" in that it's designed to produce regular NFL type scores (i.e. 17-10, 24-20, 14-13) type stuff. It may or may not be renewed next year but thought I'd try it. If you'd like to join, FReepmail me for league ID and password. Note it's a LIVE ONLINE DRAFT on Yahoo! scheduled for the weekend before the regular season starts.

    For the next 17 weeks, Durham's sixth-graders are playing fantasy football, the wildly popular game that has millions of participants nationwide. Most who play do so for bragging rights among their peers and the chance to win a few bucks. But these students are playing in teacher Lance Mangham's math class. It's a trend that is reaching classrooms across the country as teachers search for lessons that go beyond traditional textbooks and worksheets to tap students' interests.

    (Foxboro, Ma. - 07/27/09) Continuing a trend from the previous several seasons before regular season games, the New England Patriots today said all of their players are questionable for training camp. Said the spokesperson, "Due to off-season injuries, players returning from injuries, injuries yet to be determined and injuries yet to be suffered, all players reporting for training camp are "questionable" for participation in drills." "We simply can't take the chance on any player suffering an injury to put them on the "doubtful" list since we must prepare for our season opener. Given the shape our players are in at...
