PrintYou know football season has arrived when we start talking about fantasy football and what better place to prove your football savvy than right here at ROTB among your Cardinals' peers. We will have multiple leagues but to get things started we need a sign in sheet so consider this an open call for any and all that want to partake in the Official ROTB Fantasy Football League (yes I know there was a previous post about the league but we jumped the gun so disregard).
Just like last year, our league will be AOL's Fleaflicker but unlike last year, we'll have multiple leagues (so don't get upset if you don't make it into this first league). We'll have more information on leagues very soon, but first we've got to fill up this league.
To jump on board all you have to do is follow this link and set up your team.The league password is AZROTB.
Last but certainly not least, if you make it into this first league I need you to send an email to revengeofthebirds@gmail.com so that we can go over some details. If you don't send the email you will miss out on some very important information and be left outside in the freezing rain (or 110 degree weather depending on where you are).
If you want to a spot in a league, but it's already full please leave a comment in this thread and we will do our best to accomodate everyone. That's it for now but check back very soon for some info on our 'overflow' leagues.
UPDATE: Hawkwind has set up a second RotB league on ESPN. This will be a twelve team league. Send Hawk an e-mail if you're on the waiting list and would like to participate (see comments below for current list and the bottom of the page has Hawk's e-mail link). If there's three more interested members, RotBFFL2 can be a 16 team league. If we get more than that a third league can be spun off. CG, can you pass along the scoring system for Flea Flicker so the two league's scores can be compared equivalently for a RotB "super bowl" if need be. Guy's, no one freak out because we are going to make sure everyone gets into a FF league. The response has been much more than we expected but what can we say, little old ROTB is growing up.

The AOL league is full
So I guess put me on the list for other leagues.
Be careful....to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Dang!
I wanted in on this league but its full. Put me on the list for the next league as well…. or just make the league a 10 team league and and Bezekira and I!
Never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.
ACK!
League was already full, please put me on the list for the next!
Damn...put me on the overflow list.
When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome again. True story.

Count me in.
My first ever fantasy league. Oh and as a reminder, the first game is sunday so we need to get the preseason pick’em going.
Life's too short. Be a fan. Magic, Cards,Rays and "the U"! What a winning combo.

espn in my opinion has the best fantasy league.

+1
I’ve used ESPN since they started and aside from some Smack Board glitches over the years, it’s wonderful. I too missed out on the original eight team incarnation of the RotB League. Seems I need more than one clone to get everything done online. ::smirk::
I’ll put together a 12 team ESPN league this weekend RotBFFL2 hasn’t already been generated.
We all leave footprints in the sands of time, just watch out for the discarded fish hooks!
League is created on ESPN
Waiting list is as follows:
Bezekira
sc464
StuckinColorado
Pyromnc
Red Reign
KDean75
hevchv
bigredricky
blank_38
Andrew602
Sir Whirly
bclairao
It’s a 12 team league at this point so if everyone on the list sends me an e-mail (see my e-mail link at the bottom of the page) bclairao would be #13. We can go to 16 teams if necessary but RBs and QBs become hard to come by for bench depth.

Pyro and bigredricky, invites sent.

No worries KDean

Looks like everyone will get into a league. Waiting on details of RotBFFL1’s 12-team format. Three teams are left in RotBFFL2 and will be filled when the details are sorted out.

I can email RotB if you need me to.

Above is the waiting list as is with one slot left in RotBFFL2. Good news is that RotBFFL1 will be a 12 team league as well. Talking with CG, he’d like to get a good mix of RotB faithful with some of the new blood that has joined RotB; FFL2 already has a good mix so bclairao and AJ Birdwatcher will be placed in FFL1. I need e-mail addresses from the remaining folks on the waiting list; easiest way is to send me an e-mail at the previously mentioned address.
A quick count of the math shows 26 interested parties and 24 teams. If we get more interested members a third league can be set-up.
CG is getting me the e-mail list for the RotBFFL1 players. Look for invites to the 12-team version of your league this evening.

I'd like to be added to the overflow

Count me in whichever league is open at this point

I am down with one of the overflow.
But AOL fleaflicker? Why don’t we use nfl.com’s one? 4 divisions and 20 teams.
A man from Dallas who bleeds red, not silver and blue.
If you guys want to hit a nfl.com one
Hit me up and I will invite you.

The only issue is the number limit as far as teams go.

Put me in
I’d like to be in too. That’s what I get for going to Vegas and not checking the blog as obsessively as usual.
I'm in
I’d prefer to be in a league with no more than 12 teams. Don’t want too shallow a talent pool because I haven’t played fantasy football and need some room for error. Sending email now…
I'm in if any spots still available
Picked a bad time to go on vacation last week
Section 135, Row 35
Seems like you're not the only one at this point.
Last year’s wouldn’t have filled up this quick.
Hey, hey, hey hey hey, watch the language, ok? I have a family.
Revenge of the Birds
Last year CG had to pull somebody from another blog just to fill the 8th spot if I remember right.

Yeah things have changed

Hawkwind, if I’m counting correctly we have 26 total people right now, 8 of them in the first league. Shouldn’t the 2nd league be 8 or 10 teams and then the remaining people go into a 3rd league, to make sure we can fill all 3? I think you should at least cut a couple of spots from the 12 team league, or make it 8 to match the original.
If its not too late
You can count me in for one of the leagues
