1) I have, or had BloodBowl teams.

2) I play in season long leagues with my friends.

3) I play in the non campaign daily games like Draft Kings or FanDuel. For money! I'll be rich!

4) No. I couldn't be bothered with such silliness I hate sports.

5) Now let me get this straight. I draft a running back before Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady? You're serious?

6) No opinion. I just want to vote so I can see the results.

Winston Smith22 Oct 2015 12:34 p.m. PST

1) I had humans, orcs, goblins, Skaven , wood elves….

2. I'm currently 6-0 in my league thanks in large part to Davonta Freeman and DeAndre Hopkins!!!

mad monkey 122 Oct 2015 12:55 p.m. PST

Nope.

OldGrenadier at work22 Oct 2015 1:00 p.m. PST

No. Been eyeing the old Avalon Hill game Paydirt though.

1.

Skaven Rules OK

RavenscraftCybernetics22 Oct 2015 1:07 p.m. PST

why?

Patrick Sexton Supporting Member of TMP22 Oct 2015 1:13 p.m. PST

Just a plain no.

Texas Jack22 Oct 2015 1:17 p.m. PST

I play in a public league at nfl.com. It is kinda fun, and it helps in a small way to ease the pain when my bets go astray.

Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut22 Oct 2015 1:45 p.m. PST

Is hoping for the Cowboys to make the playoffs counted as fantasy football?

Heisler22 Oct 2015 1:50 p.m. PST

Definitely

TMPWargamerabbit22 Oct 2015 1:52 p.m. PST

No. Hard earned cash goes straight to miniature purchase fix…. or was that paints? … maybe terrain material?… possibly reading or research material?

Active gamers or miniature painters only have so many hours to enjoy their pastime before the ladies curtail the fun. Watching football games on TV just gives "cover" for miniature activities. Betting on sports… the ladies all casting eyes will know…. and we all know what happens next (Chores).

1. orcs x 2, dwarves, humans

Cosmic Reset22 Oct 2015 2:28 p.m. PST

No, I love football, have less than no interest in fantasy football.

Joes Shop Supporting Member of TMP22 Oct 2015 2:44 p.m. PST

No.

Rudysnelson22 Oct 2015 2:58 p.m. PST

No but my son plays in a league with other coaches from his school.

Noldor4222 Oct 2015 3:09 p.m. PST

2) This year in 5 leagues…

nazrat22 Oct 2015 3:10 p.m. PST

Terrement has nailed it! +1 a million times (that I won't EVER win, even if I played).

One league is now in its 31st year.

Cyrus the Great22 Oct 2015 5:34 p.m. PST

I hope The Editor worded your question right, because then I can blame you for yet another poll where you don't give respondents a proper answer to the question. Luckily, irishserb gave a proper reply to the question that mirrors my own.

general btsherman22 Oct 2015 5:39 p.m. PST

Yes, I'm in a yahoo public league.

Larry R22 Oct 2015 6:37 p.m. PST

2 and failing miserably

Winston Smith22 Oct 2015 6:49 p.m. PST

7) No, I love football, have less than no interest in fantasy football.


Ok, IrishSerb et al. Happy? grin

Mako1122 Oct 2015 7:15 p.m. PST

Craps seems like a lot more fun, and less time intensive to play.

You probably have better odds, and a more fair game too, given recent news reports about cheating.

Cyrus the Great22 Oct 2015 7:20 p.m. PST

Yep!

John Treadaway23 Oct 2015 4:50 a.m. PST

a 4) and what Patrick Sexton said times a g'zillion.

And bear in mind that Fantasy Football US and UK may not be the same thing.

Though I still don't care…. wink

Mute Bystander23 Oct 2015 5:44 a.m. PST

Does Competitive Violence League by 2HW count?

"American" Football or "Soccer"? wink

Martin Rapier23 Oct 2015 6:14 a.m. PST

No. I don't even know what it is.

We did once have to recover the Finance Department server because their fantasy football files had become corrupted. Those finance guys really know how to make the best use of scare resources….

Old Wolfman23 Oct 2015 6:46 a.m. PST

No. No time to,between work and other stuff.

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP23 Oct 2015 8:50 a.m. PST

Nope.

Then again, I barely follow the league stats in the sports I watch. The great exception being tracking my Alma Mater (where I met SWMBO; she was my freshman year roommate's girlfriend) in college gridiron football – necessary as SWMBO is an involved fan.

I like sports. I used to play team sports when I was healthy enough to. Not well; never a superstar. But I enjoyed playing. I like to watch sports. I love the game. I just have no interest in the infrastructure trappings around them. I'm an operations research analyst; I can't get through fans believing the outcome of a tournament = best team instead of = winner of that tournament.

Weasel23 Oct 2015 9:22 a.m. PST

Blood Bowl :-)

In hte office, when people started warbling about fantasy football in our team meetings, I'd start talking about my D&D characters. It usually got the point across.

Personal logo 20thmaine Supporting Member of TMP23 Oct 2015 4:54 p.m. PST

Not interested in soccer – so no.

KSmyth24 Oct 2015 3:18 p.m. PST

Not enough of a football fan. Love baseball, but haven't played in a fantasy league in decades.

magokiron24 Oct 2015 11:27 p.m. PST

1- I have 15+ Blood Bowl teams: Amazon, Dark Elves, Dwarves, Human, Norse, Necros, Halflings, Lizardmen, Skaven, Chaos…
