Roger Ruzek...now theres an obscure reference.

I was forced to do this in English freshman year by Mr. Koral.  Being forced to do that made me hate the "sport."  It wasn't really that much fun anyways. Then again, it would be a struggle to list 5 players currently in the NFL.

I gamble on the sport and i can only tell you 10 real quick off the top of my head. I go to school with a few kids who are mega sports fans they can name rosters and averages and everything from the last few years in baseball basketball and football. It is cool and wierd at the same time.

Roger Ruzek...now theres an obscure reference.

you want obscure? here's a few other guys I've had that you may not remember.

Matt Bahr
Nick Bell
Brad Baxter
Richie Cunningham
Reggie Cobb
Barry Foster
Wayne Chrebet

David Klingler

Actually isn't Wayne Chrebet still in the league?  I have a friend that is dangerously obsessed with him.

[den68]

he may be. I had him on my team 2 years ago.

There was a guy (can't remember who) on Baltimore's team (I think the defensive line) that has been in the league for sixteen years.  That is seriously old.  The guy probably played in a college game the day after I was born.

the bengals center has been in the league that long.

is it too late to get a league started on the boards?
if its not then i'd be in for it.

[shadytool]

alright guys, we can have our own league on Yahoo for free.  
if anyone on this board is interested we need to get it together by 10/15.  that is the last live draft that they have.  it is FREE!

having never done this before i dont really know how the draft works, but we can do a live draft, a random draft, or an offline draft for this league.  
to join all that you need to do is have an account with Yahoo.

sounds easy enough.  (but i dont think i will be betting on any games this year... sauza... )

so lets see if we can get the veterans and the rookies together for some godd old football fun.

what do you guys think?  anyone in?

[Izret101]

Gimme some pointers and im in.
I already have ayahoo account (2or3 actually)  so thats no problem here.

[Lord Nepenthean]

If it's free, I'll give it a whirl, even though I have no clue what is happening with it.  I guess it'd give me a good chance to try it out and see if it's worth it to me.  I don't have any money to put into this though.

[shadytool]

yeah dude, NO MONEY.  NO BETTING WITH GAMES, at least for me.

ok, well there are 3 of us now... how about on sunday i will set  up a RFGEN league and if more from the board want to see what its like or jion then they can.  this should be a good learning experience.

[Lord Nepenthean]

I'd like to state, for the record, that it is probably a bad idea to draft ANY player on the Bengals.  Conversely, picking all of the players that will come up against the Bengals twice this year is probably a good idea: Bettis, Roethlisburger, Lewis, other Lewis, etc.
