I think the best hope for both Ralph and I playing in the league from the same XBOX live account will be to hope that there are no Panthers-Ravens games scheduled this year.

Actually I think the Ravens could be this year's Dolphins. Amazing defense and Jamaal Lewis running through everybody. So that is not such a bad pick. I agree that we should have the tournament before the league. I'm still a little gun shy about the league after the last 2 years. Last year we couldn't even finish an 8 team tournament during the real playoffs and Superbowl. So I think we should warm up with the tournament first  |

To help clear things up:
Eco - Titans .... (League Admin)
Hetz - Packers
Denog. - Bills
Pr0ner - Chiefs
Caveman - Panthers
LD - Raiders
Ralph W - Ravens
Soulbringer - Rams
altair27 - Texans
Stiffler - Falcons
TML - Patriots (if "In" due to start date)
Driver - Jaguars
Naednek - Seahawks or Eagles (?)
gellar - 49ers
Devil - Eagles (if "In" at all)
JeffJones - Dolphins
AgtFox - Vikings
Rage - Colts
Rowan - Bucs
programmerbob - Broncos
Tebunker - Bengals
- - - -
Current Points of Interest
1. League will begin after everyone has a chance to try the game and make sure they like it enough to commit to the schedule.
2. Start date: To Be Determined. (if we wait for TML - maybe around Aug. 20 - This should be discussed)
3. Most likely we will begin the Tournament before the league begins. See Poncho Memorial Thread for details.
4. Even though we are taking the league seriously, don't forget to have FUN... that's why we're here. :wink:

Mike The shame would be unbearable if I let you guys down. That should be reason enough, in a tight community such as this, to keep people committed. Otherwise I'm not sure the quitters would be welcome to participate in the future. |

I'll be the Bucs, if you guys let me play. I'm a newb to the series (and will probably get crushed), but will be picking this up tomorrow and would love to join the league. My gonegold forum name is rowan, too. Feel free to email me, as I check it several times a day.

Titans are claimed by the League Admin. Sorry.
To help clear things up:
Eco- Titans (Admin)
Hetz - Packers
Denog. - Bills
Pr0ner - Chiefs / Redskins (?)
Caveman - Panthers
LD - Raiders
Ralph W - Ravens
Soulbringer - Rams
altair27 - Texans
Stiffler - Falcons
TML - Patriots
Driver - Jaguars
Naednek - Seahawks
gellar - 49ers
Devil - Eagles (if "In")
JeffJones - Dolphins
AgtFox - Vikings
Rage - Colts
- - - -
League will begin after everyone has a chance to try the game and make sure they like it enough to commit to the schedule.
Start date: to be determined. (if we wait for TML - maybe around Aug. 20 - This should be discussed)
Most likely we will begin the Tournament before the league begins.
Let your thoughts be known regarding the above.
LD If Devil isn't in, I still get the Eagles right? |

You know what, you guys don't want to wait for me to come back to high speed internet on the 20th of August. I'll drop from the league.
Good news is the Patriots are free for someone to dominate with :twisted:

I'll go with whatever the majority says though The tournament starts on August 8th, so that would give us time to finish it before the league starts. And, I think using the tournament as a preseason tournament of sorts is a good idea! |

Managed to make the Detroit Lions look good. Great games, TML. I forgot to save my profile after our first two games so I only log an hour or so played and think I lost my records. That sucks. Man, this game has A LOT of buttons. |

Actually I have been using them online and they are waaaaay better than they were last year. Their' defense isn't too bad and Winslow gives them a solid tight end this year.

I am from Cleveland :wink: The offensive line is where I really found problems. Maybe Detroit's D line is just amazing this year. TML and I tried it on "pro" rather than "all pro" so that might have had something to do with it. Regardless, I was still blown out. |

Well, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to play in the league. Apparently, X-Box Live only allows one username per account. Since I live with my brother (Captain Caveman) and signed up for Live, I don't know how I would be able to get my own username. I suppose, of course, that I might be able to play under his name (i.e. he plays the Panthers' games and I play the Ravens' games, though both would be played under his username), but I'm not sure if ESPN will allow one username to control more than one team in a league.
I guess another option is to set up another Live account under my name (with a free two month code if I can find one), though I'm not sure if that would work either. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.
