FAMILY & FRIENDS FANTASY FOOTBALL

• After picking five teams for the last seven seasons, the two additional teams will open up the competition with more variety [since the players all try to pick the top rated teams]. Also the old rule was "you must select two teams from each conference with the 5th pick going either way," this year that rule also has been relaxed, so players can pick as many as the want from either conference, including going with all 7 teams from one or the other. Of course that wouldn't be smart in this competition, because your objective is to get two teams into the Super Bowl, battling each other for the world title, which would assure you a winner from the AFC or the NFC.
• Only four out of the 7 participating in this test run preseason race took advantage of the HOF game, with three picking the Titans -3, and I took the Bills {with the pts.}. We got the jump on the other three players, with 50pts out the "starting gates" for the Tenn 21-18 win over Buff {tying the pt sprd}.
• Player Ruth Mills jumped out of the gates with yours truly, for 250pts after the Thursday and Friday games. Then on Saturday and Monday Nite Football, I picked up another 200 to take a 100pt lead over Ruth {and the pack}, with a 5-2-1 record and total of 450pts in Wk#1. Ruth sits right behind me with 350pts. Lorenzo is #1 for Wk #1. Let's see how long I hold the top spot. I challenge you football fans and fanatics to join up on this brand of fantasy football. It's still not to late before the regular season starts. This game is nothing like the Network games, and a ton of fun to play along. Go to my mailbox lyork2@ca.rr.com and request your signup form. Meanwhile stay tuned on who will win this preseason sprint.
