Where: Western Montana, now the Sunny South of Charlotte, NC

Why/Bio: Die Hard Seattle Seahawks fan since conception, FF player for last 8 years, been to the bowl 6 times and only missed playoffs once (last year, my team was BAD baby).

I'll be back strong next year! And if anyone in the NC area has an opening in their leagues, give me a yell.

Who: Darin (big mystery there), Bears fan by blood, Chargers fan by geography. F the ex-LA teams. We didn't want you, anyways. Don't come back, either.

 

What: Real Estate Development Consultant. Not married, but "spoken for". Ehh, this is me: http://profiles.myspace.com/users/6520147

 

When: 31 yrs of age. Although after Achilles Tendon repair surgery, I feel ancient.

 

Where: Born and raised in Orange County, California. Yeah, "The OC". 4 years of school at UC Santa Barbara. Couple of years up in the Bay Area. Back in Orange County now.

 

Why: Makes the day fly by. I'm a fantasy junkie, and this supplants my inability to manage my own fantasy site (which I attempted years back). I enjoy the emoticons far too much. B):D and :D are my personal favorites.

 

Fantasy Bio: Started out about 10 years ago with Fantasy Basketball. 9 years ago, I was approached by a work buddy who had an opening in a league that has been around for nearly 20 years. Now I'm in that league (Champ last season) as well as 2 others (one being an IDP league). I still do Fantasy Basketball, and have added Fantasy Baseball (Champ last season) to my repertoire. Given the amount of morons on ESPN, this isn't much to brag about, but I'm in the top 97% overall in all ESPN Fantasy Games. :D

 

:D Keep the thread alive! :yay:

Who : tbimm

What: Mechanic and Bartender on football sundays (because my buddy has the ticket at his bar)

When: Oct 10 1966

Where: The Big Easy via Chi-Town ( 2 great cities)

Why: My Bro turned me on to this site before this season started and thanks to fellow huddlers i made it to the big game this season!

FF bio: New to FF this is only my second season playing. The first pick of my first draft last season was all it took to get me hooked. I play in a family league that has brought my family, which is spread out all over the country, together again. If you think your league has trash talk just imagine a league with nothing but family members in it. I also play in a local money league which is the one i made the final in this season. I am looking forward to the Republican versus Democrat league next season!
