Looking for players, beginners and noobies who want to play PF.com fantasy basketball.

We will be using WEEKLY rosters in this league, which means you set your roster for the following week (Monday thru Sunday) by the Sunday previous.

So far I have interest from

Ryder
BallDon'tLie
Aurora
Discotom
Raxrets

and possibly others. I would like to run a 10 or 12 man league but we can roll with as little as 8, so Kimmie has a better shot at getting her "hunks" on her squad.

If you have played a lot of fantasy ball already, please contact MotownPride about playing in Advanced or webz about joining our Keeper league with an expansion franchise. I'd like to keep this league mostly for the newer players who want a soft start into the world of fantasy sports, or to polish their skills before competing in a tougher crowd.

Post to this thread, and I will contact you by PM with league info. Don't wait.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Denver PFNFBL Franchise to Begin Play for 09/10 Season

Denver, CO - October 8th, 2009 - The announcement was greeted with thundering cheers as an assembled mass of future season ticket holders discovered that the Denver Squirrels will begin play in the hotly contested PFNFBL (Pistons Forum Novice Fantasy Basketball League) beginning in late October. The throngs of people gathered outside of the dilapidated Denver Coliseum were overjoyed at the news of this important sporting moment in the Mile High City.

The team will be coached by ex-NBA, CBA, USBL, ABA, Oak Park YMCA-League journeyman guard, Rufus Henry. "We gonna straight-BAWL the heck out deez chumps!" exclaimed Henry. "I ain't havin' no punk sucka beeeothches gon' come all up in my hizzy an' be playin' me all like dat, ya heard?" "I ain't even frontin'!" said Henry as he waved an empty green 40 ounce bottle in the air.

"Having Rufus coaching our team gives us instant credibility, which we feel is pretty important for a young franchise." stated BallDon'tLie, Owner of the Squirrels. "Coach Henry will provide us with a solid presence in the locker room, on the sidelines, and the b.y.o.b. all-nude establishments in our city." "His prosthesis and eye injury are are true testament of his ability to overcome adversity and it's a great message for our players."

The Squirrels will provide fun-filled family entertainment and feature Walter, The Narcoleptic Squirrel as the team mascot (pictured Below).

Rounding out the entertainment will be the "Squirrel Girls" dance team (pictured below).

To go along with this in-game entertainment, the Denver Squirrels will offer many promotional nights with a wide range of giveaways and special ticket offers. Mr. BallDon'tLie explained that "Eyepatch Night is already planned for November 5th. And Rufus Henry Bobble-Leg Night, sponsored by OE-800 will be on the 16th of next month." We're really excited to get the season started!"

A full schedule will be released soon and single-game ticket sales has already started at the DC box office.

I'm "small ball fan".

It is a matter of taste. Really.

The Ballaholics are registered and ready to avenge our playoff collapse from last year after we dominated the regular season.
