This year you can place bets on all the weekly match-ups. This will be play money of course, but will be a lot of fun. We will see who has the most "Backyard bucks" at the end of the year. Hope to see all you guys take part.


Hope to have all the details up later this summer.

I don't see how this is fair. We shouldn't be put at a disadvantage if we don't want to gamble. Gambling is an addiction that could cause negative effects in our personal life. I know that I would prefer if it was just a choice if we wanted to do this not be put at a disadvantage if we don't.

Ya but no one would care to do it if there was no advantage to it in the league. We want it to be part of the league. It won't be much of an advantage maybe 5% off our something, nothing major but something to work towards. It is also fake money so no harm no foul. Also I think Fantasy Hockey is an addiction that could negatively affect our personal lives but we all still do it. It is still a choice to participate in this as if you don't participate maybe everyone will loss all their Backyard Bucks and you will win. It is to add a new element to their league.

I don't agree with making people gamble or they are put at a disadvantage. I agree that fantasy hockey is an addiction and I know it has negatively my personal life and my relationship with my wife. I think you should wait and see how many people will actually participate first. I mean just looking it looks like you will have 6 people so far and its the middle of the summer when very few people check in.

True I think there must be an award as there needs to be a benefit to it. We shall see.

  • Daddy: @Rhino7 the previous Raiders ownership traded 11 picks for Aaron Donald.
    Yesterday at 02:48:03 PM
  • Daddy: Ive never seen that many picks moved except for Aaron Donald & Darius Slayton.
    Yesterday at 02:49:05 PM
  • jmntl82: Those are some high level names right there
    Yesterday at 02:49:57 PM
  • Daddy: We let GMs cook to their own visions. Picks are useless if you dont hit on them and not all draft classes are the same.
    Yesterday at 02:52:32 PM
  • Daddy: While im not always right... My personal evaluation is unless you are a true contender this 2024 class isnt one to sit out on.
    Yesterday at 02:53:22 PM
  • Daddy: I want to keep saying.. i do not know everything about sports. Nobody does. I am going to say that i know more than most and im not ashamed or embarrassed to say that.
    Yesterday at 02:54:37 PM
  • Daddy: This 2024 NFL Draft class is better than 90% of every draft ive witnessed since 1980. In NFL LIVE if you arent a top ten team, i strongly urge that you invest in 2024 draft.
    Yesterday at 02:56:18 PM
  • Daddy: Traded all your picks? So what
    Yesterday at 02:57:32 PM
  • Daddy: Look at the Rams. Look how young my team is. I hardly ever draft. There is more than one way to invest in young talent. The easiest way is the draft but its not the only way.

  • Speedster18431: Well if no one wants their 2024 picks let me know lol

    Yesterday at 03:14:18 PM
  • Daddy: Unlike all these other sports, THE NFL IS A YOUNG MANS GAME. Hockey, Baseball, Basketball, play till your 40. Not just the greats... Jamie Moyer was never great, pitched till he was 44.
    Yesterday at 03:16:08 PM
  • Daddy: When current players hold their jobs ten, fifteen, twenty years... It means that many years of prospect blocking. In whatever sport.
    Yesterday at 03:17:23 PM

    Yesterday at 06:04:36 PM

    Yesterday at 06:05:23 PM

  • Daddy: NHL/NFL/MLB LIVE GMs be warned, if you miss a week, you miss a lot in those leagues. Take your time building, take your time evaluating, learn at your own pace.
    Yesterday at 06:22:23 PM
  • Daddy: Just know, if you miss time at any point of the year, not just the active season. You have missed a lot. You've probably fallen behind your competition. Ten-Fifteen guys in all three of those leagues dont ever miss any opportunities.
    Yesterday at 06:24:04 PM
  • Daddy: One more thing. The NFL LIVE waiting list is longer than you see on profsl or fantrax. There are people that know people that want in that league. No pressure on anyone but i cant just hold your franchise while you draft and do nothing else.
    Yesterday at 06:33:37 PM
  • Daddy: i built College football for you guys that do that. Great scoring system, no trades, set your lineup and go getm! NFL moves too fast for that mentality. Apologies.

  • Daddy: Dynasty fantasy sports isnt for everyone. It requires patience, skill, planning, the ability to communicate thought into written word. Most times dealing with complete strangers located all over the map.
    Yesterday at 11:19:46 PM
  • Daddy: There are easier hobbies. PlayStation/Xbox, Yoga, psychic readings, ghost hunting, bunji jumping etc etc. Everyone cant do this. There is no shame.
