I love it! I play in multiple leagues, and my H comes to me for advice on his.

It's a fun thing for H and I to do together.

That's all on H. I prefer real football.

H plays, but I could care less about football, fantasy or real.

Re: CPW: Fantasy Football

  • My team is so amazing this year that I'm now certain that no one else in my league knows what they're doing.

    If I don't win, there's something wrong.

  • I picked Go Manchester United because of Eurotrip. I would love to be able to get in to football, it's just too slow for me.
  • I love football, but I'm too lazy for Fantasy Football... :)

  • I play. I love it, but I only play one league. That's enough work for me.
  • I like watching football, but am not a huge fan like H's family, but fantasy football helps me to be more engaged and invested in what's going on, so I like it.

  • Go Manchester United!  I would much rather watch European football and get all wrapped up with that. It makes me miss London so bad!

    Although H has a Fantasy football team, and he named it "Sipping Forte's."  Which I find quite amusing, and I usually try to follow along a bit with his team.

    I just mostly tolerate it for the football food. Chili dogs, beer, wings, etc. Bring it on.

  • I played for the first time last year.  It was probably the first year I was very excited to watch the games. I was in a league through my old work, made up of 5 guys, and 3 gals. And yes, we came in 1-2-3.  It was awesome.

     

    This year I am in one league alone, and H and I joined another, sharing a team.  That should be interesting.  We are also sharing a team in another league- our first keeper league.  We've decided that he gets final say in the first one, and I get final say in the keeper league.

    We'll see how that goes :)

  • I used to play. The first year I played I won the whole thing, but now I can't keep up.

  • There isn't an option for liking football, knowing what Fantasy Football is but not playing it. So I voted Machester United because I like that kind of football more!

  • I'm in two leagues. My h is in zero. I like ff but don't really care, although I won the league in my BIL family last year and beat his super competitive BIL. I'd rather the steelers win than my ff team do well.
