Now that baseball is wrapping up and football is well underway it's time to start thinking about Fantasy Basketball!! But before I give you the information about how to sign up let's have a recap of the Man Blog's Fantasy Baseball Season.
Our inaugural season had six teams which were fairly well balanced. The genetics lab I work in was represented by Michael Salmans and his team, the Renegades of Funk. Michael had a great season and was definitely the team to beat. He ended the season in first place, leading the league in runs and stolen bases, but was eliminated in the semi-final round of playoffs by the He-Man Woman Haters (owned by me) in a 9-1 loss. Tyler Sasser and Jacob Smith both represented the BYU 85th Ward with their teams, The Denominators and The Numerators, respectively. The Denominators were in first place for part of the season and were always a tough team to play. Then numerators also played very well and held on to a 3rd place finish in the regular season. Both teams were eliminated by the Scrappy Squirrels in the playoffs. Neil Crapo, a BYU 85th Ward alumni, and his team, Red Blooded, did well but ended the season in 5th place after a late season surge by the He-Man Woman Haters. The good ole' Arvada 5th ward, my hometown ward in Colorado, was represented by Aaron Hassell and his Scrappy Squirrels. While Aaron struggled the first half of the season and was even the subject of league mutany, he pulled his season together and the Scrappy Squirrels ended up taking home the big enchilada and winning the Championship even though they finished last place in the regular season. I had a lot of fun and I can't wait for next year's league.
The Fantasy Football League is also underway with 10 teams which makes for a lot of fun and although two teams are dominating, the other teams continue to improve. We'll give an update later in the season.
Now on to Fantasy Basketball!! Previously we've used FoxSports for our Fantasy Leagues. While they've been great sites and very user-friendly, they've been somewhat unreliable, and they don't have Fantasy Basketball. We will therefore begin using ESPN.com for our Fantasy Basketball League. To sign up, begin by going to ESPN.com and clicking "register" at the top of the screen or by clicking here. Once you have registered, email me at pballguru@hotmail.com and I'll send you an invite to the league. That's all you have to do! We still need at least four teams to join. The league is setup so that you submit your roster once a week so it shouldn't be too time-consuming. See you on the court!
