Are you playing fantasy football next year?

See my poll question.

Several of my friends have talked about quitting the league due to not wanting to root for certain players against/for the Saints (we all live in LA.) For instance, I had Jimmy Graham earlier this year and it takes away his enjoyment of the game if Graham scores and not his receiver, Colston.

Personally I think it takes up entirely too much of my time and there isn't a huge reward at the end of the season because no one wants to pay more than a $25 buy-in.

I haven't decided yet though; I'm starting law school next fall and can't spend hours playing with FF so it is 50/50 right now.

It's a "yes" or "no" question, what's up with telling people your life story? :rolleyes:
 
I got out of all my big money leagues and now only play in one 100.00 10 team league that is not real serious.

This is the first time in a long time I can remember actually enjoying my Sundays in the fall, and enjoying watching the games for what they are..instead of constantly rooting for or against players.

 
Yes.

I cut back on leagues as well this year, and it's been very satisfying. I only play in 2: A $20 work league (which is more about razzing co-workers), and my 13 year old $100 league. I take both just as serious but cutting down from 4 to 2 has been great.

I think 2 leagues is the perfect situation for me.

 
Although my family would like me to ... Sunday afternoons wouldn't be the same without it.

So Yes.

It's been a pretty crappy season with all the injuries but I will probably just cut back to one or two teams next season. I think this is the least enjoyment I've had playing FF in the last 10 yrs - need to spend some time to figure out why this season sucked so bad for me personally. I will still be in the playoffs in all but one league but it has been a real grind this year. :shrug:

 
yes i will continue to play in 20 leagues and continue, every week, seeing the venting thread have 40-50 replies of how people have such great teams yet won't make the playoffs because they get screwed every week and how they will quit

 
This is such an odd question to ask so nonchalantly on this message board. Its as if there was some big fantasy-altering event that I missed, making this a normal question. I realize its not quite the same, but it would be like going on the Skins message board I frequent and starting a thread titled "Are you rooting for the Redskins next year"?

Just strange, without context.

I figured someone bumped a thread from during the lockout.
 
Every single year for the rest of my useless life, and even after that when I thaw out from being cryogenically frozen and a real-life army of Fox's Cletus robots have replaced human players by then.

In other words, yes

Oh yes. For sure.

This has been my most challenging year since 2004. I have had a superb run and this year has been a beat down. I will make the post season in 3 out of 7 leagues (6 dynasty 1 redraft). I think I have a real shot to win the title in one.

If I can muster 3 titles in a year like this.....I would be shocked beyond belief. I am hoping for one title. To compare, last season I won 4 leagues, the year before 4 the year before that 3....like I said a heck of a run (and in the money in all of them every year since 2004).

Injuries have been brutal this season. Too many to overcome.

I do see myself giving this up eventually. But I am not ready to let go just yet.

I have been playing this game since 1989.

If all posters only post "yes" and "no" responses this board would be fairly boring would it not?tool.
 
This is my first year and I am absolutely hooked. like the other poster said, its like crack. playing in a league with family and friends makes it so interesting as well. buy-in for us is 100 bucks per person so payout is huge and we have to win for bragging rights.
