I wonder who first voted for GB...  I was about to take a long break from VGC but couldn't miss out on the prediction league.  Sorry guys I guess your stuck with me.  Proud to have won the loser bracket last year.  Still waiting on my loser trophy though.

Bears may actually have hopes for the quarterback position. Also, I decided to buy this yesterday...

I first thought you were suggesting that you were going to play QB for the Bears.  I've known they had a bad QB situation for years if not decades but I didn't know it was that bad.

Couldn't have been any worse than Rex Grossman that one Super Bowl.

Just as a head's up, I'm going to keep the fantasy league signups open for about another week, and then I'm going to try and fill them with some people I know so we can at least have a complete league.

Maybe message the people already signed on for the prediction league, cus I rather doubt they all check the thread often enough during preseason to necessarily see the info about the fantasy league

Good idea. Any idea who the fourth player in the league is?

I mentioned it in an earlier response to you, the fourth player in our fantasy league is NobleTeam360.

Mike321 has already expressed interest in this thread, so he should be easy to get on board for the fantasy league. Also worth to note, I traditionally send a PM to the previous year's participants of the prediction league two weeks before the season starts, so I'll include a fantasy football notice in that mass PM.

Lastly, I don't understand why the draft was scheduled for August 27th. Make that September 3rd because rosters/injuries will be more up to date by then.

Done.



I've thought about doing fantasy league for awhile but I don't think I have time or effort for that.  Nor knowledge of current players besides the superstars.

There's pretty minimal time/effort required outside of the initial draft (and you can skip that if you really want to; basically every website will automatically make picks for you based on what positions you still need filled and what quality players are left). It's a pasttime that you can spend a ton of time researching, but in my experience that almost always has negligible returns.

Ya, as the others have said, it's really not much of a commitment. It's like maybe 20 minutes tops for the draft, and then after that your average engagement needn't be more than 5 minutes a week.

As far as player knowledge goes, aside from the aides you have at your disposal, given that we'll only be an 8 player league, we don't need to go nearly as deep as others. Pretty much all of the players utilized for us are going to be the more well known quantities in the league. 



Okay I guess I'll attempt to take part in a fantasy league. Going to try and join the league now.  My team name is The Longest Foot.  Sorry it is a little early here and my humor levels are pretty low.
