I've done a baseball theme with this idea, but I thought it would work for football too....lets see. If you have interest, reply to this, and I will create when I get to like ten owners or so.

League basics:

Choose a letter and fill your entire team with players/teams whose name (last) starts with that letter.

IE If you choose P, your running back would probably be Walter Payton. Your QB might be Milt Plum. One of your WR's could be Brett Perriman, your kicker could be Matt Prater. Your defense could be the Patriots/special teams could be the Panthers/O-line could be the Packers....or all three could be the Packers for that matter. Hopefully, you get the idea.

70 million cap. WW within theme. No clones.

Sound interesting to anyone?

Yeah, I like it! Give me B for Ben...

I take it you are allowing multiple letters?

Yes, there won't be a limit to how many owners can use the same letter. But its LAST names only. Not sure what you meant by B for Ben, but if you meant Roethlisberger, that would be R

No, Ben is my name!

Quote: Originally posted by hoopsrus on 9/18/2009I already have B.  My team has Roethlisberger and Barry Sanders.  And Bart Starr at QB.

I'm going with Tom Brady, Jim Brown, Isaac Bruce, and Chicago Bears D...

LOL....sorry Ben. I must have been overtired that day or something. You guys can both have B.

Brady and Brown....pretty tough combo. You guys think too many owners would take B? Is this a dumb idea for a league?

amerk - i will get in, letter to come soon

C

amerk, a lot of people will take B, but the $70 cap will offset it. brady or brown will eat a big percentage of the cap for them. they will lose in other areas. taking brady and brown will leave teams open in other areas.



maybe limit each letter to 4?

OK thanks Glen. Well, that makes 3. Phew, we got a long way to go.....

bump

I dont think this idea is gonna fly. Anyone wanna prove me wrong?
