who the fukk would waste time in a fantasy league for no money?

Believe it or not, plenty do. It's just entertainment....people waste hours a day with video games, I don't see what's wrong with wasting minutes a week with fantasy football. :manny:

I can't do it for free, but that's just cuz without money on the line there's too much fukkery (people stop caring, not updating lineups, bs trades, etc). And I'm talking solely football. Basketball and Baseball are too complicated and require too much effort imo. That shyt is for nerds. Football's scoring system is simple. After the draft, the effort level for football is minimal.

I thought I was the only soul walking around, and embarrass (since I'm a sportheads) to be completely clueless about "fantasy sports" :lupe:

it's a fukking headache is what it is. but it's fun and makes you gain interest in teams you wouldn't. playing with friends is best. it's gaining popularity and revenue. try one league at a time. basketball is coming up so join one and ride it out. to whoever said how you win in basketball. points rebounds assist etc all added up, team with most wins. same for baseball and likely hockey

What's more respectable: gambling on sports or fantasy sports. I say gambling cause then at least you still are rooting for one team in its entirety and not just skill position players.

Since every post in here is dudes bytching I'll tell you what fantasy (football) is about. You sign up for a league, and you draft players. You get points based off production. For example a QB will get x amount of points for throwing a TD, passing yards. Same with running back for touchdowns and rushing yards, etc. Lineups typically QB RB RB WR WR WR/T TE K and DEF. I posted a screenshot to help illustrate the point

Didnt see @L&HH before me. Only thing I would add is that scoring varies by league, as you can see mine is jacked

I dont know how it works either....

You seem like an educated guy. If you are curious about something in 2013 what do you do. Go look it up.

You guys sound like a bunch of hipsters. "oh I don't know what this stuff is about and don't care to find out meh meh meh" :stopitslime:

I don't want to. :leostare:


If I talk to one more person who tries to make a conversation point about, "well I hate so and so team....but I'm rooting for their player to do well b/c he's on my fantasy squad" That's so lame.

And these are the same ppl, many of them, who will criticize someone for playing videogame football.
