Fantasy Football Leagues, which site is best?

Post by Globetrotter »

So I am trying to relocate my fantasy league. I am in CBS Sportsline which has been great, but they cost $150 which everyone i tell that to is shocked.

I have signed up for ESPN which is free but I don't know if they give me all the gadgets and control I want. I am playing with a group of older gentleman, one who refuses to get rid of his dial up internet after years of me pointing out how atrocious it is. Well the older gentleman often take longer then the 120 seconds that ESPN allows between pics and ESPN also wont let me switch pics if they mess up, which will happen.

Any other leagues out there that you may use that I should be looking at?

Thanks

I prefer ESPN, and it ain't close.

And, if you're the commish, ESPN's draft applet lets you pause the draft at any time, and go back any number of picks at any time.

Really? I called and they said I could not do that. Even for the free sites?

I'll second ESPN. It's my favorite spot for leagues...I think it's one of the few sites that doesn't charge you anything to get the realtime scoring updates. And J4H is right on the draft too. I was able to pause the live draft when I needed to in the past.

I am a Yahoo! Man through and through. Last year they finally started doing Free Live Scoring. I commished a couple NBA leagues, a few MLB leagues and the AZZ League last year. Which reminds me, I got a notice asking if I wanted to open up the AZZ League again...is there interest???

Hey everyone. I just created a Yahoo League and would like to invite all those interested to join. It's a 12 team maximum and I will have one or two co-workers looking to join as well so that leaves 9-10 spots right now. This is just for fun but should be pretty competitive. Hope to see you guys in the League!

Ok, we've only got 5 teams right now. I changed the draft to tomorrow night at 8 p.m. to give anyone else that wants to join time to do just that!

I roll with Yahoo!, always liked their presentation and simplicity of changing lineups/players. Heard ESPN is a good choice too.

As long as you dont mind, I went ahead and joined. I almost exclusively play on Yahoo Fantasy actually.

If you had someone else in mind though I can remove my team, I'm actually in two other leagues already.

I'm the Fantasy Falcons.
