Re: NFL is about to begin... Not doing too well in fantasy football. I am 1-2! Got to win this week. My home town team is not doing too well either - won their first game last week! Hope the season gets better ...
Re: NFL is about to begin... Just saw this thread. We all watch all sports so we are usually tuned into the seasonal sports and as such i have no clue as to the serials going on. I dont know what fantasy football is can someone pl. explain. I think its good if the whole family watches together esp. sports. just my thinking. our falcons are not doing well...
Re: NFL is about to begin... Hi Chitra - another NFL fan!! Fantasy football is when you draft a team of players and you are in a league. Each week one team players another team from the league. The players in your team earn points based on how those players perform on their game. For example, I have Peyton Manning as my QB - each time he throws for a touchdown, I get points. I also get points for the total yards that he throws and so on. So you end up cheering for a player and not a team!! It is quite interesting. I used to like the Falcons QB, Vick before be got embroiled in the dog fighting controversy!!! Our Chiefs are not playing that great either -although we beat the Chargers last Sunday which was great! Hope we can keep this discussion going!
Re: NFL is about to begin... Dear Shobana Thanks for the nice explanation. Where do we go for the fantasy fb online?? My family is big football fans. Well I have to say we are big sports fans ans we mostly only watch sports on t.v. I played college basketball in my old days?? I like football but not very over into it. I am familiar with player names and such. I personally think Vick got too bad a rap. ofcourse thats terrible but still here in ga they went on and on and on.what do you think?
Re: NFL is about to begin... HI Chitra - it is too late to join fantasy football now - it starts prior to the season starting. Usually there is a league that you join - or you can start you own league - there is $$ involved here - so the one who wins in the end wins all the money. I joined a league that one of my friend's husband is in - she is not a football fan - so I joined in. There are some available online that you can join or you can start you own - the scores are all kept online through EA Sports. I am not involved with the logistics of how it is done - it can be quite tedious especially for the person in charge. You son may know about these things - ask him. Most of these start in offices - where they have leagues. Do you watch college football and basketball? We watch those as well. Love college basketball a lot. The KU Jayhawks are great - my favorite team! Personally on Vick, he deserves everything that is handed out to him - I am huge dog lover - I cannot imagine what he has been doing to them in the name of sport. The press goes overboard with everything here - the good and bad, which is a different issue. Lets keep the football discussion going!!
Re: NFL is about to begin... Shobana Thanks for telling me its late to start the fantasy league now. bcause i have been spending time to search about it. next time when you do please let me know also. Yes my family watches both college and nfl too. I dont know who you are supporting. tell again. we have got tickets to the falcon game next month. Yes I agree what Vick did wad totally wrong but still the punishment seems tooo much. i dont know why i think this but thought i'll share.
Re: NFL is about to begin... Chitra - I am a Chiefs fan - got to support the home team! Besides that I am a Colts fan - Peyton Manning is my favorite player. I had his picture as my background on my computer for a long time (recently switched it to the Taj Mahal!!) My husband got us tickets last couple of years - our team is not playing all that well and hence I dont feel like wasting money on that!! What game are you going to? Have fun - it is always great to watch the game "live". You know that 2 times that we went for a game - it was freezing weather - and we stood the whole time - even though we were dressed like eskimos for the game, I came down with a head cold and sore throat!! But it was fun!
Re: NFL is about to begin... Monday night falcons played. terrible. sunday afternoon my family watched i had to rush for some errands. i told them to keep me updated as i wanted to get back to you on that but now dont remember what they said. not to owrry as you will uptodate shobana.
Re: NFL is about to begin... Hi Chitra - yes - Monday night was not good for the Falcons. Am watching the afternoon games right now and going through IL!! Two favorite activies!!! When are you going to the game?
Re: NFL is about to begin... Dear Shobana Cannot believe you are doing the same thing as I. dont know when we are going to game. did you watch Red Sox. I am now paying closer attention to games and etc especially when varun gets up and yells at the screen so I can write to you about it. Inspite of close attention i forgot what they both yelled at yesterday. you can make out i am big makku and mandu. will pay attention next time and write to you nicely abou t it.
