Hello all, I would like to join the theme league but not sure what a theme league is? Do I draft only players that have played within the franchise? If so, I'm a long suffering Browns fan so why end the suffering now?? It hurts so good!! That would be my team of choice.. Please contact me thru site mail. I am known as BubbaDbone.

BubbaDbone, as a long-suffering Vikings fan, I salute you my friend :)

Hope you join the league!

And I feel your pain. I can respect any diehard non-bandwagon Bills, Jets, Lions, Browns, etc. fans who have lived through years of heartache and agony just like Vikings fans have.

I could probably add Chargers, Falcons, Titans/Oilers, Bengals, and Cardinals fans to the list too. Sorry Panthers, Jags, and Texans fans, but you haven't been around quite long enough for the same level of suffering yet!

From 1978 thru 87 the Chargers were my favorite team, along with the 85 thru 88 Browns and the Chiefs 90 thru 94. Then Marty Ball finally arrives in SD 2001 thru 2006. Marty goes 14-2 in 2006 and loses his job. While in the lead with under 4 minutes to go, a DB picks off Tom Brady and fumbles it right back, then the Pats score the go ahead TD. I no longer have a favorite NFL team after that moment in NFL history..

I have sent sitemail invites out, in hopes of closing this League out and start Season 4. But, We are still an open NFL market for new members. Join us, if this League turns out to be fun. Find your way into our 50 mil tournament.

I think some of the other owners out there just need to take their you know whats out of their purses and do this drafting challenge! This is fantasy sports, not ballet :)

lb_bunk80, you laid this out during Season 1 signups, and it was early on. Here we are, only 1 team away for Season 4.

We are Full in only 26 days, Thanks to our core group and 6 new members. We are off to Season 4 in record time. When a challenge is more fun than a bottomless team budget. Bravo !!!

DCarden, what’s your thinking behind going up by 3 mill until you get to 59? Especially curious about your going up by 3 until you get to 59mill, basically an open league at that point.

A good point DS; 59 is basically 60. Maybe we should try 47 ! :)

Great question, danpsull71
I consider 50-59 as untapped grounds for Leagues. Even at 59 mil it does not have to be a copy and paste from a 60 mil league. It could ask for players by eras, salary ranges on units or player positions. The 50 mil league needs no twists, it is difficult and fun. A 59 mil league could be fun with a twist or 2, and draw a few 60 millers suffering from cookie cutter fatigue.

Gotcha, thanks, DCarden. With twists, that makes sense to me. I might’ve missed that part. Thanks.

To the forum members not up to speed on the 60 mil NFL Open League cookie cutter teams. Open Leagues are starter leagues for newbies. Who build their teams with their favorite players usually, that leads to a 3-13 season. A cookie cutter team usually has Aaron Rodgers, OJ or Earl Campbell and always has Crazy Legs Hirish and really cheap defenses. Then you face 12-15 teams that look just alike. No wonder NFL Football leagues have little interest. We offer a different way to start a team.

Tom, The NFL Leagues only offer 50 mil as a low. I would love to create a downsized offense league to 325-1500k per player in a league in the future. When you look at those cheap players, solid teams can be formed on Offense. But, This would be a real old school defensive battle royal league.
