Windy City Gridiron Fantasy Football

by Adam T on Jul 20, 2010 3:00 PM CDT in Fantasy Football

So we had a bit of a misstep with our previous attempt. We are ready to go now. Let me know if you want to get in on this league. This league is free. If you are interested in starting more leagues we are able to offer a discount.

It's that time of year again. Time to sign up for some Fantasy Football. We are running through CSBSports this year.

CBSSports.com is offering us a 50% discount on our leagues, meaning each league we create will cost $90. A league will consist of 10 teams, so the cost to participate comes out to a measly $10 each. After that one is full, I'll batch the next 10 together for the second league, the next 10 for the third league, and so on. When you send in your fee to PayPal, in the memo spot let me know it's for fantasy football, and if you're willing to be a commissioner for a league. For every extra league we create, I'll need one person to be the commissioner.

So why do Fantasy Football through CBSSports? Well, I'll tell you.

Why use a paid league when others a free? Well, for one you'll be supporting SB Nation and BTB, and we are very appreciative of that. Also, CBSSports.com Fantasy Football Commissioner has some cool features.

Um..

This league is free.

the cost to participate comes out to a measly $10 each

So… which is it? Or is something else free that I don’t understand?

I want revenge from last year

In like Flint

by wennington4 on Jul 20, 2010 4:43 PM CDT reply actions

I always thought that phrase was

In like Flynn. In reference to Eroll Flynn’s famous entrances in early film. I could be completely wrong. I frequently am.

If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.

I thought that was the saying as well...

… so if you’re wrong, you’re not the only one. lol

not to be controversial...

But I use ESPN for most of the reason you chose CBS, except its free.

They go further, as their Auction Draft format now actually support Auction based free agent acquisition throughout the season as well. I play in a money league on CBS so I am not anti-CBS, but you can get the same if not better features out of ESPN. My money league is debating a 2011 or 2012 switch to ESPN right now.
