Started local league in 1992 with 7 teams and all players drafted started. We only did total points that year. In 1993 we expanded to 10 teams and added head-to-head play with Fantasy Bowl I. I still remember when the Monday night game went long we would have to wait for the Wednesday paper to get the box score. Typed all reports, copied and then drove around town to deliver. Talk about the dark ages. The paper we used was The Dallas Morning News.
During this time a lot of people did not understand "fantasy football". I remember enduring many 'fantasy' jokes. I tell people now that I was playing fantasy football when fantasy football wasn't cool. Now my local league is in it's 20th year and we still get together for our draft and end of the year parties. Great times!!!
Oh yeah, first round of our first draft went like this
1. Warren Moon
2. Barry Sanders
3. Emmitt Smith
4. Jim Kelly
5. Thurman Thomas
6. Dan Marino
7. Mark Rypien
