| 1) I am currently in two leagues. Both of the leagues are run through Yahoo. The first league that I'm in is the league that I run and is a 12 team PPR league with two keepers. The second team that I am in is a 14 team League. I have been playing Fantasy Football for 15 years and have been in numerous championship games through out the years.
2) I have always been intrigued with this type of league. I believe that a normal FF league is a lot of luck and a little skill. This type of league completely changes that balance and would be an awesome challenge. A team owner in the league that I run pointed me to this league. After looking at the site I decided that this would be a good challenge.
3) I spend quite a bit of time watching both of my current FF teams. I usually have both of my teams minimized on my computer at work so that when I'm I need of a mental break I can quickly lose myself in FF. Unlike most "normal" adults, when I come home from work I do not watch the local news, I turn on Fantasy Football Live on the NFL network and take an hour or so to decompress from work, who needs to watch the news anyway, if we go to war I'll figure it out eventually! As long as none of my players gets drafted I'm good!
4) The first year I ran a league I had a team owner call me to complain about losing points on her defense because she had SF defense and the SF QB threw a pick 6 which caused her DEF to lose points. In that same call that owner argued that she had drafted Matt Forte (who had a monster game that week) and he had somehow ended up on another team. I had the breakdown of the draft and she had not actually drafted Forte and it took me an hour to convince her of that (She was not in the league the next season) Later that night I ended up in the hospital with pneumonia but I told her that she had caused me to have a break down and I needed to be admitted to the hospital.
5) I believe that other team owners would say that I am on top of the current events (IE: injuries & playing time) in the NFL. I am fully involved in my teams until the end of the season. I'm serious about my teams but I like to have fun with it as well.
6) I enjoy FF and would be a great addition to this league. I love FF but am not obsessed with it. I like to have fun with it and I definitely like to win. I keep up with the current events in both college and pro football so I believe that I would be a perfect fit for this league. Plus with a team name like the Neshkoro Swamp Donkey's how could you not want me in this league!! I guarantee that I will field a competitive team. I have to deal with the players that I inherit so it may take a season or two but I fully plan on being at the top of the league ASAP! |

| Hi thanks for stopping by and showing interest in Roster Wars.
I do have a few questions if that is ok?
The Yahoo leagues are they money leagues or free leagues? Why Yahoo and not MFL? and have you read about our strict participation (forum posting and taking part in discussion) and how do you feel about it?
Thanks again for stopping by look forward to your answers. |

| One of the Leagues that I am in is a money league. The other is a family league through my in-laws and is just for fun. I have generally been involved in money leagues through out the years but I couldn't say no to the new father in-law. It's always a little more fun when there is a little cash involved! I chose Yahoo to run my league because I liked the layout of the page and found it to be user friendly for a few of the guys that didn't have a lot of FF experience.
The one thing about the leagues that I have been in that I do not like is that the majority of the people that are involved don't post a lot of messages and debate back and forth about the league or the NFL in general. I enjoy the back and forth between team owners, it's all part of the fun of FF. I like the participation aspect of this league. I like that I know that when I log on that there is a good chance there will be someone to talk to or respond to.

| Welcome to RW Tim! Feel free to get involved anywhere you have access and you will surely get to know everyone in short order. My first few questions... 1. Have you had time to read our very lengthy bylaws top to bottom? https://rosterwars.forumotion.com/f6-roster-wars-bylaws2. How much time do you think you spend on FF during the week (in season and off-season)? 3. What is your favorite thing about this hobby? 4. What is your least favorite thing about the hobby? |

Yeah, he has to know someone because it's too much of a coincidence that the week that it's pretty clear that we are going to need a new owner of the Werewolves in the offseason that a new potential suitor comes out of the woodwork. The fact that Dan called him a dickhead makes it pretty obvious but I think we need to know for sure. Honestly though, it would be great if we could find an owner with no attachments to anyone from this league. That owner would have no preconceived notions about anything and it would extend our network of future owners beyond the network we currently have. |

| Welcome Tim.
I had a customer from Kentucky who was pheasant hunting in Fargo, ND. Someone in his party was a novice and didn't realize the coverage of buckshot as it comes out of a rifle. The end result was my customer got shot in the face. He took about 5 pieces of lead to the face, 2 pieces to his neck, and 1 piece to his chest. He is okay. The emergency room removed the 5 pieces from his face, but left the 2 pieces in his neck because they were close to arteries.
Moral of the story is don't go hunting with people who don't know what they are doing. Same thing could be said for prospects wanting to be in RW. Justin will screw with your mind, Jason will screw with your confidence, Andy will screw you out of your players, and Bob will just ...(too easy).

Craig (Naperville Divine) Well done! Although nice to know my mind games fucked your confidence up. Shoot me over an email in 2 years telling me all the regrets that you have not making some deals with me, especially the deal where in the preseason I offered you Le'Veon Bell and 3 (three) 1st rounders for McCoy. Yes people, that was actually offered and actually rejected. |
