Announcement: Buffalo Rumblings Fantasy Football Returns

With all signs continuing to point to the return of football sooner rather than later, it's time to announce that fantasy football through Buffalo Rumblings is set to begin once again. This year, SB Nation and Yahoo! Sports have teamed up to bring you the official fantasy football league of Buffalo Rumblings. More details after the jump.
Because of the popularity of the Yahoo! fantasy football platform, we're going to be opening up as many leagues through Yahoo! as necessary to satisfy the masses of you we're expecting to play with us this year. We have set up the first official league (yes, I am the TCRI Utroms, and yes, the Utroms will win the championship), and once we've garnered enough interest, we'll hold a drawing to determine who will join me in that league.
If you're interested in trying to dethrone me, I laugh in your face, but admire your competitive spirit nonetheless. However, because we're going to have multiple leagues, we're also going to need multiple commissioners. (I can't run all of the leagues, after all.)
Therefore, we're looking for commissioners. If you're interested in being a commissioner, please note that we'll remove you from consideration for the first official league - but you'll be able to hand-pick your own league members at a date to be determined later.
Come one, come all. If you're interested in playing fantasy football with us this year, simply leave a comment (and feel free to ask questions, as well) - or, if you're a lurker, send an email to buffalorumblings@gmail.com. If you email us, please tell us your Rumblings username (if you have one). As previously stated, we'll try to fit everyone in this year that we can. Let's play some fantasy football!
Yahoo! Fantasy Football supports SB Nation and pigskin awesomeness. It’s also the #1 Fantasy Football game thanks to dazzling player research, instant stats with free live scoring, iPhone, Android, and iPad apps this season. Plus, new scoring categories for long receptions and rush plays. (Yes!) Sign up at yahoo.com/fantasyfootball

Yeah, no. Everyone realizes I bought that bobblehead trophy, right? I mean, you can’t buy one unless you win a league, but I still paid for it, folks.

So, another question then, is Arrested Development attempting to tackle your bobblehead, or it more a case
of the bobblehead trying to escape your game and movie choices?

Since I got shunned after winning the 1st BR Fantasy Football I would like to submit for an “open invitation” card in which I can redeem at any time.
The reason is I honestly (yes, regardless of how much time I spend reading and commenting on this site) I don’t think i’ll have enough time to pull this off (work+home) this year. However, I would like to use, if permissible, my “open invitation” card possibly next year to be in the top grouping.
If not then no big deal – but I have to remind you Brian that I was snubbed last year – and in all honesty since I was the first BR Premiere league winner – shouldn’t I have my own trophy? Shouldn’t it be like the Lombardi trophy because they won the first Super Bowl? Shouldn’t it be the J2 Trophy or something?!?!
When you innovate, you've got to be prepared for everyone telling you you're nuts.
I would love to play.
I am going to sign up to the original league if thats ok.

Another season (maybe), another year getting on the roller coaster. Hope the ride lasts more than 16 games :)
It’s amazing how easy it is to dominate a league when you have so much free time during the football season, as was my case last year (and still is the case this year). Hooray terrible economy!

I have to continue my streak of drafting Lee Evans too early and then regretting it sometime around week 3.
Never draft Lee Evans. Ever. Take it from a guy who’s done so by choice and force the past three seasons.

I love me some Fantasy Football
put my name in the hat, i’m in!
I want in!
I am in one at work, and in one survival league, in which i lost last year on the last game of the year (having picked the first 15 games correct that weekend, but Seattle ruined me (8 guys went into the final week tied, deal was you had to pick one team to win, and then the rest as a tie breaker… i got all the tie breaker games correct, but not the one that mattered))
Needless to say, I am back, to avenge my Fantasy name!
Shun the non Billievers!
I wanna play

Somehow I just knew that your DVDs would be in alphabetical order.
I haven’t cared about Football for a while now, I guess I can be a league filler.
No weekend spent pantsless is a wasted weekend.
Somehow I just knew that your DVDs would be in alphabetical order.
Ha! You know me well. Actually, you’re looking at alphabetized TV series; the alphabetized movies are lower on the shelf, below the alphabetized books. (Figured I’d throw some books onto the bookshelf.)

I would like to play in any of the leagues. I have never been a commissioner before, but I have been playing FF for as long as I can remember and I would be willing to take it on as long as you tell me the point outline you want to be used. My yahoo username is primetime0103 and my email address is lucas_snyder@hotmail.com if you need to send any info.

Please include me in the league. It is my first year in the Bills Rumblings league….do we ban all pats, Jets, dolphins, Cowboys, and Titan Players from being drafted?

Unfortunately, I’m already in too many leagues to take on a commish role but I welcome Mr Galliford’s challenge.

Looking forward to it for sure. I am willing to be a commissioner as well, even if it does mean sacrificing the right to play against one Brian Galliford
Wow 70+ posts and I’m the first to say no thank you.
I will do my usual this fall; watching Bills and college football to get a jump on player evals. I’ll try to beat my 6 correct draft picks next year.
Good luck everyone trying to dethrone the champ.

Dexter is a bit formulaic, so it’s gotten pretty dry. Didn’t like Season 5. Loved the Trinity Killer, though.
