Welcome to the League

Chris is sending around some invite links as we speak! So to all of those who have signed up welcome to the Tony Dorsett Football League!!
I look forward to some active chatter on the boards and some exciting seasons to come!
Just a little bit of information about me. If it wasn't already clear from the fact that I claimed the Washington franchise I am an a diehard Redskins fan. I'm also a huge Syracuse collegiate sports fan as I live in Cicero, NY (suburb or Syracuse). I've been a pretty active member on the baseball side of the house since 2005 and really look forward to getting my feet wet with Football (my true passion).
I plan to be rather active in this league, tracking single season records, single game records, career records, RoY voting, MVP voting, and establishing a HoF vote. For now the RoY and MVP will be something we will have to do manually as there aren't hooks for the website to handle that automatically. More details to come on all of this as the season/league progresses.
Good luck to everyone and welcome aboard!

Hello, I have claimed Phoenix. I'm already well underway, scouting and doing prelim rankings of the players.
I help out with the beta testing for football. I'm decent but far from a guru. I'm open to answering any questions if anyone wants to ask.
I live in Carolina, so I'm a Panthers fan, though I'm a Boston native, so the Pats are considered co-favorites.
Metallica, love the record tracking you plan to do, along with the ROY, MVP, and HOF. That kind of thing really adds to a league.

The Skins looked really good yesterday, including your rookie qb- didn't look like a rookie. Looks like a lot of people, including myself, underestimated them. Conversley, N.O. could be in trouble.

Hey all. I took the Portland Franchise. Another Redskin fan here too...so this should be a fun league for those discussions at least.
Looking forward to starting a team from scratch, I took over an abandoned one elsewhere two seasons ago so rebuilding there still. I'll be glad to be able to screw up my team all on my own. WOO!!!

It's been a rough decade+ for the Redskins, perhaps we've had to find another avenue to experience winning football!! I'm glad I got in as the commish as I'm sure Washington would have been taken early.
Interesting that the league is named after a Dallas Cowboys running back, and one that my favorite Redskin of all time is most memorable for running down (Darrell Green)

LOL!
My first Premium football league. Played in one free league. I have a lot to learn and expect to make my share of mistakes, but am looking forward to a great league experience.
Also looks like Metallica is going to be an active commish which is a great thing for league success!

Hi guys, Dylan here I just to over the NYN team. I am a huge Giants supporter and I have a soft spot for the UCF knights. I think there might be a bit of rivalry between the Trojans and myself, I would say good luck but I believe I need the luck.

When we get a full league I will make a map, much like the weather map but with logo's at location where each team is located, just hope nobody changes city year after year. On that note we should make a rule, once you have chosen your city you are not aloud to change it for 5 seasons.
Also for a bit of fun I will do a Special match each team has 1 per season, basically their Rivals.
e.g.
Trojans v Knights play the Otto Graham Cup
Assassins v Gold Rush play the Jerry Rice Cup
Be good to get another LA team

Sounds good appreciate your willingness to participate in some fun stuff like that. I agree i'd appreciate no team relocations if possible; although i do understand your money your choice its just better for keeping the league. Lean (records etc)

Luv that idea. I propose naming the NY-NY game for Bill Parcells and calling it, The Tuna Bowl.
