This year we will be doing another round of Forgotten Realms Fantasy Football. Do you have to have any knowledge of football to do this? Not really.
This year we are going to do as many teams as we can.
Please try and choose a Forgotten Realms/NWN Themed Team Name.
The winner gets the NWN Realms Trophy Cup till next year.

Basically you create a team of existing pro football players and as they play each week you get points depending on how they perform. Your total points are compared to whoever you are randomly matched you against that week in our league and well whoever scores most wins. You dont have to know much about players to pick a team if you let the machine pick your team, kinda cool that way since you get what you get and have to make it work. Anyway not sure if that helps.
To join go to this link and hit Join A League.
http://football.fant...orts.yahoo.com/
It will  ask for the league ID which is
League ID#: 5586
League Name: Forgotten Realms Football
Password to join the league is 1372.

Evermoor Giants
Known for smashmouth football and their popular yell
Me Smash Now!
Candlekeep Dragons
Known to be the thinkers and strategist of the gridiron
Furocious Furchin
Undersized and ugly to boot but they sure can eat!
Crimson Darkness
We do not talk about them...*shudders*
Luskan Wharf Rats
Ever see Snatch? They all talk like Brad Pitt so we have no idea what thier strategy is.
Calimshan Crushers
Always arguing with the refs and trying to sell them two goats and four broken Lamps of the Genie....

We also had a reporter who will make alot of fun calls again as well. SOme good names could be like the Hallowed Harpers or Zhent Crushers. Or Sembian SeaDogs vs the Thay Thrashers...lol...

I will be doing all the forum stuff for this here and on the actual page.

Looking forward to seeing you all there and if anyone has any questions please let me know. The league is started though we only have two teams so far logged up I know we will hit 16 within a week.

We have 12 in now. We do have space for four more if we need to. Let me know in a PM.
Draft is on August 20th. I have set it for autopick. You can if you want go to the Edit Draft Picks so you do not pick someone you hate. (Like me and the Mannings.)
I tried to balance the scoring so no one player is too important and defense matters a bit but nothing major. Remember this is for fun. No one has any beers bet on it...well...I do with two other teams here but I know them so no worries, lol.
Kick arse people!

Done and done.

[TSMDude]

A whispering has been heard around the Realms as several prominent merchants, lords and ladies of noble birth and heroes great and small have all begun to assemble their armies about the Battle of Bones to be the one team to stand on the Hill of Lost Souls and gain the convened Realms Trophy.
Who will lead there army to victory?
The Sun Elf Tom Brady poised to throw his silver daggers into the hearts of the warrior lord of Manning? Or will it be Grey Beard Favre the Stout and Aged one who pulls from his heart one last victory? Or can last years swashbuckling rogue of a bard, Brees stun the Realms anew?
Even the Dark Elves come forth to do battle…lithe and quick with their multitude of slaves and hired sword and fell magics!
The Diviners have cast their stones to the winds and the prays are made. Let it begin!
The Realms will shake indeed with the sounds of war these upcoming weeks…mark my words as a Sage.

I might have missed you as I had like 80 plus messages a day from folks. But what gab says below is correct. Just log in/start a team thatw ay with the password and you dont even need my approval.

[Karvon]

Ok got it. When is the autodraft scheduled? I'd prefer to wait till after preseason is over myself, as injuries can occur.

[TSMDude]

Leagues that complete drafts (live, auto, offline) after 11:59pm PT on Wednesday, September 8 will start scoring in week 2. However, the commissioner can adjust the league setting "Start League scoring in" to Week 1.





Due to the above I think we need to start by at least Sept 1st? Everyone cool with that?



Also we have ONE slot open and that is it. No more. Kaput. One slot left for some brave soul.

[Olias Stormcrow]

Brave or foolish, the Damaran Painbearers shall be there. As their name suggests, there will likely be a week where most of the players are on injured reserve - mainly because I will have forgotten to swap them out.

[TSMDude]

Are you ready to rumble!?!?

[TSMDude]

Hey everyone...sorry I set that to start a little faster than I emant to. I was gearing up to move and then lost both our main pcs in the move due to a bad storm and leaky rental truck. Good news is a I bought a new PC already and the rental company is paying for the replacing of quite a few things but the bad news is I lost EVERYTHING I have ever modded or done on my PCs.

ANyhow...readyt o game on and this will start seeing some regualar action asap.

Searching for deep fantasy sleepers is much like the sport of noodling. To the untrained eye it appears that a noodler simply reaches into murky waters and miraculously a big fish appears, devouring his arm, sometimes up to the shoulder. These unique fishermen know exactly where and how to uncover their prey, lurking giant catfish, given their knowledge of the bottom's landscape and conditions on the surface. A fantasy owner in search of a deep sleeper has a similar goal, trying to uncover a big fish from an environment that appears cloudy to most but those who are aware of their surroundings and the signs to look for.
Here are 11 players to watch, none of whom appears to have tremendous value right now but who circumstances could present a great opportunity once the season kicks in. A couple of them could even turn into big fish. Happy noodling.
Greg Camarillo, Vikings
Featured in my last SI column for never having dropped an NFL pass, I can't stress enough the importance of good hands when playing with Brett Favre. Let me state this again: He has never dropped a pass in the NFL. Anyone who watched Bernard Berrian's half-efforts last year can tell you he's not the answer. Best known to this point for scoring the game-winning touchdown to keep the Dolphins from going winless in 2007, he has a chance to become a major part of Minnesota's attack, even should Sidney Rice somehow return from the PUP List at full strength from his recent hip surgery.
Danny Amendola, Rams
The Rams top return man has become a candidate to replace the injured Donnie Avery, out for the year after tearing his ACL. A possession receiver and certainly less of a deep threat than Avery, the second year man will be the main beneficiary of Sam Bradford's check-downs and quick passes, making him an interesting option in PPR leagues.
Peyton Hillis, Browns
Listed as the team's second-string fullback behind the outstanding Lawrence Vickers, Hillis has made lots of noise this preseason in the halfback position. In 2008 Hillis looked like a promising, hard-nosed runner when he gained 5.0 yards per rush and scored six times (5 rushing, 1 receiving) in Mike Shanahan's last Denver season, but he never fit into Josh McDaniels' plans. Jerome Harrison is the starter and rookie Montario Hardesty will receive some looks, but a player like Hillis always seems to find a way to contribute when given a chance. The problem usually lies in figuring out when that chance will come. And don't forget, as a team, the Browns led the NFL in rushing over the last five games of 2009.
Lance Moore, Saints
A forgotten man last season while battling through hamstring and ankle injuries that limited him to just 14 catches and one score in seven games, Moore was a savior for the Saints in 2008 when he led the team with 79 catches, 928 yards and 10 TDs. Injuries have made Robert Meachem and Devery Henderson vulnerable this season and Moore is looking to rebound in a big way. Following a strong offseason and camp, he will find his way onto fantasy rosters once again. Circumstances revolving the other Saints receivers will dictate when that is.
Davone Bess, Dolphins
It's funny that the man I think of most when I see Bess is someone who lined up in the same helmet not long ago for Miami, Wes Welker. Bess is not someone who'll wow you with his skills or speed, he's just someone who gets the job done, catching at least five balls seven times last year in becoming just the second Dolphins receiver to go over the 75-catch plateau since Dan Marino retired and the first since Chris Chambers in 2005. The arrival of Brandon Marshall should only enhance his value as Chad Henne will drop back to pass more and Bess will be his check-down receiver more often than not.
Louis Murphy, Raiders
For the second year in a row Chaz Schilens' misfortune has turned into a golden opportunity for Murphy, a second-year receiver from Florida. Close to a quarter (128 yards) of Murphy's output last season came in one game against Pittsburgh which put him on fantasy radars for a short time, but given Oakland's ineptitude behind center last year you can hardly blame him for disappearing. Now with Jason Campbell slinging for the Silver and Black, Murphy's prospects are brighter.
Derek Anderson, Cardinals
In 2007 Anderson seemed destined for stardom, throwing 29 touchdowns and for 3,787 yards for the Browns but that seems like a long time ago. However like Kurt Warner before him, Anderson has a chance to parlay Matt Leinart's ineptitude into career resurrection. With Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Breaston, Beanie Wells and Tim Hightower around him, Anderson certainly has the weapons but a 45.9 completion percentage and three touchdowns compared to 11 picks thrown over his last 10 appearances he's far from someone to count on. Yet.
Mike Williams, Seattle
One of the most disappointing draft busts in recent history, the controversial former Trojan was Detroit's 10th pick in 2005 despite being forced to miss the 2004 season due to court order regarding his ineligibility to declare for the NFL draft. Once he finally reached the league, Williams slogged through three horrific seasons with the Lions, Raiders and Titans and at 270 pounds, appeared to be a far cry from the consensus first-team All America and Biletnikoff Award finalist in 2003 who played for Pete Carroll at USC. He has totaled only 44 catches for 539 yards and two touchdowns in the NFL but now reunited with his college coaching staff, the future appears brighter. With size (6-foot-5 and now 230 pounds) and speed, he's a difficult matchup for defenses especially with T.J. Houshmandzadeh and either Deion Branch or Deon Butler more of the possession pass catchers, along side. If you haven't drafted yet, he's worth a very late round flier.
Javon Ringer, Titans
Over the last decade only two players, Ricky Williams and LaDainian Tomlinson have mustered back-to-back seasons of 400-or-more touches, something that Chris Johnson (408 last season) could do this year but I think is unlikely with Ringer now securely installed as Johnson's backup. Last year the Titans plan surely wasn't to overwork Johnson, but a horrific start to the year and the total lack of contribution from then-backup LenDale White forced Jeff Fisher's hand to overuse the one thing his offense had going for it. Don't be surprised to see Ringer rack up closer to the 100-125 touches that Fisher's backup runners have traditionally received in the past. Plus, he's just a Johnson sprain, strain or break away from some serious value.
Victor Cruz, Giants
In parts of five seasons as a major league reliever in the late 70's and 80's Cruz posted an 18-23 mark and a 3.09 ERA...wait. You mean it's not that Victor Cruz ... Well, the Giants' Victor Cruz has taken the NFL preseason by storm, leading the land in receiving yards and touchdown grabs while placing second to Cincinnati's Jordan Shipley with 12 catches. The idea that this rookie from UMass can crack the Giants young receiving corps sounds outlandish to some, but at this time last year, no New York wideout had a defined role. While he'll see most of his early action on special teams, don't be shocked to see Eli Manning ride the hot hand before long.
Kareem Huggins, Buccaneers
With Derrick Ward out of the picture, Huggins, a second-year man who averaged 5.1 yards-per-game at Hofstra finds himself in one of the NFL's most promising positions: backup for the injury-plagued Cadillac Williams. However with virtually no NFL experience, Huggins is also in danger of being replaced by the first good running back to hit NFL's cutting room floor this week. He's probably even worth a late-round flier at this point, but don't get too excited ... at least until the dust settles next week.

I will be home from the hospital sometime in the next week or so and will get back on this. I am sorry i let the ball drop but did not expect the hopsital visit to happen and still a bit shell shocked to say the least.

I have a few long long weeks coming up but will still try and drop some fun articles on here that are written from the Fantasy Realms Reporters view.

Once again really sorry guys for dropping the ball on this.
