Hamburg Sea Devils (Johannes)

1 Who are you? Where do you live?

My name is Johannes, I am 27 years old and I was born and raised in Hamburg Germany.

2 Tell us about your fantasy football experience, including the types of leagues you play in and where they are hosted.

I got my first fantasy experience back in 2010 when I did an exchange year to Arizona, USA and played in my first league that year (which by luck I won :)). Since then I played every year in different kind of leagues on NFL.com. Last year I decided with a group of people to finally start a dynasty league on the sleeper app. (two of those guys are already in this league here, Mike and Nathan)

3 Why do you want to be part of Roster Wars...what drew your interest?

Nathan asked me if I wanted to be apart of a league with fantasy addicts like myself, who just can't stop thinking about football

4 How much time in a typical week do you spend on your fantasy football hobby?

due to my love for football and college football I follow football all year around. starting with the NFL draft I start to listen to podcasts to see which up and coming players are expected to go to what team. during the regular season I read articles, watch shows on a daily business.

5 Talk about a favorite memory or crazy fantasy football related story.

winning my first year of fantasy football
drafting Mason Crosby every year since I started
having like minded people to talk to every day of every week of every month of every year about the greatest sport in the world
got really good new friends a cross the globe, from South Africa to Singapore to England because our league is international

6 What do you think members of your other leagues would say about you as an owner?

who is this crazy German and why won't he shut up :)
always up for good banter
tough trade negotiator

7 Anything else you would like to add?

Huge packers fan, never misses a game and hopefully I find some fellow cheeseheads to talk about yet another sad and way to early playoff exit

8 Are you joining to be a friend of the league or are you prepared to be tested to see if you make the cut?

I want to be tested to make the cut ;)

Welcome buddy, I bet you're a well dressed lad too. 
Better remove some more Packers pages, looks like it's becoming a Pandemic around here

You made the plunge! Welcome Big Joe! So glad you fancied checking this place out! Have fun man. Settle in, get used to the forum and chat and read the bylaws and I know you will love it here!

Damnit another Packers fan.

Oh well, I guess I will say welcome anyway. Jump on in and make yourself at home. This place is a blast, even with Packer fans!

Welcome!

We don't need more Cheeseheads though! I live in Wisconsin and I am sick of them.

thank you guys!!! I see packers fans are beloved everywhere around the world

Thanks Nathan for pushing me to start my journey here

Welcome Johannes to Roster Wars ! Finally

A member of the onboarding team will make contact with you shortly! Any questions please feel free to ask and as the big man said read the bylaws

There are a few Cheeseheads here so I think you will get on fine !

Great to have you here "Big Joe"! 

I would suggest you read through the bylaws and ask as many questions as you can, hop in the NFL threads and get talking, and the Free For All section. You can really get to know people as the next 4-5 weeks are some of the slowest weeks of the year IMO. 

How did you become a Packer fan, don't listen to these other clowns, we are happy to have you!

Go Pack Go.

Thank you, will do and try to make myself familiar with everything.

I fell in love with the packers back when I saw Rogers throwing dimes to Jennings and Lambeau Field was just love at first sight

What the hell?  Another Packers fan.  

Besides that, Welcome to the best fantasy football & community around.  I like the mascot name you have - Sea Devils.     That would make for a cool logo, but I'm getting ahead of myself.  For now, check out the site and soak it all in and enjoy.

Love it. I am in GB, so I get to go to all the games. Lambeau surely is a special place. Went to Hamburg when I was 14 on a soccer tour, many years ago. Was a great time, but was only there for 3 days or so.

I also forgot to mention, there are plenty of GB / Rodgers / Packers thread for you to enjoy.    

Welcome to Roster Wars, the best fantasy football family anywhere! Yes another Packer fan. A group can't have to many! As everyone said, wander around and jump into some threads and feel free to contribute. Yes, by all means read the bylaws and then reread them.  

Welcome Johannes!

As others have said, spend as much time getting to know our bylaws and your way around our forum as it's the lifeblood of our club. Someone will be in touch soon for next steps.

We may just have to start a separate league for Packers fans at this rate.

You should come back to Hamburg, gets better every year

Well, if you ever make the trek to the motherland, hit me up!

I´ll take you up on that

Welcome Johannes! Nice to get someone else from a similar time zone.

Very nice Johannes !

Yes! Another Packer fan! Welcome Johannes

Welcome Johannes! Sounds like you'll fit right in!

Great, even the German is a Packer.  For the Love of Pete!  

When you guys run ads for new owners do you run them in Packer only forums?
Is there some hidden code sequenced in, that only Packer fans can read?
Do I need a box of Trix cereal and a special decoder ring?
Where the fuck is Spooky Muldar and Skully?

Seriously though...

Welcome Johannes, RW is a great place.

Welcome to RW Johannes.

Lol on this whole thread! Welcome Johannes, as a fellow freshman trying to get into this great fraternity you will learn quickly as a Packer fan(likewise as well and live 35 minutes from Lambeau) that some will hold your beer while you go piss or talk to the hot girl in the corner and others seem really nice until you see their true colors on the many Packer message board threads here! Definitely kidding, everyone truly has been very welcoming and great!!

My dad was stationed in Germany for 3 years in the Army somewhere near Stuttgart and he has many German steins from back in those days. My friends and I might've even dusted them off a few times when mom and dad weren't home to see if the beer tasted better warm (apparently a German thing). Can't quite say the beer was better, but it got is all drunk in the same amount of time! Welcome again

Warm beer a thing with Packer fans?  Nick? Someone page Sam

Sam, you know what to do. 

Great to have you Johannes!

Mason Crosby going to be an RFA this year in the minors - gonna blow the full 225 on him?
Getting way ahead....glad you took Mike/Nate up on their offer to join

Welcome, sir! Literally everyone has said it but I can't fucking believe we get a dude from Germany and he's a Packers fan well at least you'll be among friends and have a lot to talk about

Welcome Johannes - you'll love it here!

I thought it was a requirement to be a true Packer fan to drink piss warm beer. Must be a Wisco thing.

Welcome to RW, this place is fantastic. Almost as good as that 9er Packer game a few weeks back.

Welcome Johannes!

Welcome to Roster Wars Johannes!

Welcome. New here myself.

So do you go by Joe or does it have to be Big Joe?

Welcome to RW!

Welcome Johannes! You've made a big step toward fantasy football greatness! RW will not disappoint!
