kpholmes Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I know this should be in Find Owner/Find League forums, but I figured it was fairly different, and wanted to see if there'd be interest. Was considering putting together a 10 Team Redraft league for couples, with each partner having their own franchise. Nothing too competitive, just a fun way to get your woman (or man for some of you Huddlers ) involved with the sport and see what your obsession is all about. Was thinking a fairly low buy in of $20-30 or so. There's been all-woman leagues before, however I thought this would be fun because it's something you could do together! (a great excuse to spend even more time with fantasy football... and her too of course.) Haven't put too much thought into it, other than having the divisions split by men and women, and requiring comish or co-comish approval for trades between couples. Before the season we would go over the rules in detail, discuss strategies, stuff like that to really give the women a crash course into the world of fantasy football. I would prefer one person from each couple be a well established member of the Huddle, and their partner have little to no experience with fantasy football. Also would prefer couples that are married or in long term relationships... A mid-season break up could cause problems. Thoughts? If you're interested drop me a PM.

paulzale Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hmmm, torn by this idea. At first I was ready to ask my wife, then I saw Atomic's response and have to ponder it...Do I really want to answer all those questions and then get irritated when she doesn't field a full team 1 week? I am leaning toward no now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am leaning toward no now... My wife and I have been on our local leagues for years now. Your worries won't be answering questions, it'll be if she ends up winning the league several times. Talk about never hearing the end of it... If you're scared of that part, understood, otherwise it's great to have a wife who loves football.

The Wolf Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Worlds are colliding, Jerry! "A George, divided among itself, cannot stand!" It's an interesting idea KP but my wife is in 2 leagues and I have 5 myself. It would be really difficult to take on another. Good luck getting this off the ground though...the idea has merit.

Well if you're in I may have to consider it since there'd be an easy couple of victories Seriously though, I could be interested in doing this.

Duchess Jack Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I'd like to see something more to this. My wife helps me in all of my leagues. I help her in all of hers. We pick each others brains and get opinions from each other. We share news and such. I guess this is something more for folk where one side is not too into it yet.
