Some may think it's too early, but what the heck...there not a whole lot else going on.

Mods...could you sticky this?

Steeler Nation 3.14159265359 will be up and running within the next week. Keep an eye out for invitations.

SN Pi is up and running. 5 of us already signed up.

Awesome, just joined. Thanks for getting it rolling!

On my end, steelerwatch old school league is up! Tibs

 

[Tibs]

Looks like we may have up to three spots open in the Steelerwatch Old School league. PPR, otherwise standard scoring. Rosters are: QB, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/R, K, DEF, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, IR, IR. We have a great group of long-time managers going waaaaay back to the old Steelerwatch board. I'm still hoping the owners of Jerz Dudes, Stuart Stunners and The Madden Curse show up and register, but they haven't responded to multiple e-mails and the draft is drawing near (which is Thurs Aug 28 7:30 pm). Sooooo, please post here if you're interested in signing up. It's a highly competitive league so be ready to bring your A game. We'll do a cut-off in two weeks time, a week before the draft, and allow a few new guys in if it unfolds that way. Hit me up if you have any questions, cheers Tibs

I've been trying to come up with a good Steelers-themed team name. Any ideas?

We are a bunch of cheap *****, put it that way.

 

[Tibs]

Yeah, we pay for pride....and bragging rights.

Or lack thereof in my case.

Yeah, me too brother. It's a tough league to even make the playoffs let alone win the damn thing.

Awesome, I was afraid we lost you in the high seas... so we have ten spots locked down, I guess we could go with ten this year if our two other lost souls don't show up...

I prefer fantasy baseball (with games every day), but have competed football 3x in the recent past.

I am interested. Let me know.

I love baseball, but there is much less strategy and a lot more luck in fantasy baseball. You don't have to be good to win fantasy baseball...just lucky.

Bullshit.

No sport has as many advanced stats as baseball. I use stats like BABIP, line-drive rate, BB/K ratio for batters, and GB rate, FIP and (to a lesser extent) xFIP for pitchers.

Those types of advanced stats are just not available in football.

Further, the single most important "luck" factor in fantasy sports is injury. Football has so many freaking injuries that luck should be a category.

Updated waiting list w Stillers, thanks for the pm.
