What does everyone think about having a separate category for fantasy football and other football contests? All fantasy football and other football contest talk can take place right here, away fro the general discussion forum.

I think this is a good idea. The contests will be easy to find.

It's a good idea. I would also put any ongoing thread, like the draft thread or the jets thread of laughs in here. Long-term threads like those would be easy to find in one place.

I asked mbeaulieu if he would like to have the draft thread moved from the general discussion to it's own category, he preferred that it stayed in the general discussion. If he changes his mind, I would be more then happy to create it's own category.

I suppose if I want my "cool things" on the main board that is paramount too. Of course he wants it on the main board because it will see more traffic and possibly more contributors. The question is, do the numerous people who don't participate or seek that thread need to be slogging past it day after day after day.

It's a Patriots Draft thread, it fits there more then the football contests and off topic threads do.

If mbeaulieu's stupid draft thread stays on the main board, I won't lose any sleep over it, LOL. He stated his HOF vote was based solely on who participated in his draft thread. Seems he wants separation and inclusion as it suits his whim. Actually, that is a college football thread disguised as a Pats thread. Yeah, it gets more pertinent a month or so before the actual draft, but that's it.

Well you really aren't going to be happy when I pin it to the top while the draft is on. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) We will also be rolling out the live chat while the draft is going on to give it a try. If all goes well, the live chat will also be used on game days so we will see how it works for the draft tomorrow night.

I have never even once clicked on the draft thread. I don't follow college football at all, so why bother. I do click on the after the draft ones, though, as that is really Patriots, and not college. My opinion is that it belongs alongside the contests and similar topics and not on the general board.

One more thing: I would separate Fantasy Football and Contests into to separate blocks. I don't want the contests to get lost among a mess of posts about [stupid] fantasy [/stupid] stuff.

Hey Sheldon, if you had ever paid attention to the fantasy threads on BDC you would have noticed that fantasy football only had three threads the entire season, one on going thread for each of the three leagues. That's certainly not considered "a mess" of posts. However, the other contests are going to have many more threads during the season, at least 17+ threads for each contest. So if there should be any complaining it's probably would come from the people who play in the fantasy leagues having to go through all the other "mess" of threads to find the fantasy league threads. But....... I doubt anyone in the fantasy leagues will complain about that. I think it's cool we can have separate sections for these contests without having them mixed in all the Patriots talk and it's just as easy to get to.

It's a draft thread front disguising a "college football" thread, lol. I get that some like talking college football, but I don't know that it belongs on the Pats talk board. It's probably not worth the feathers it would ruffle to move it though.

(her boyfriend helps her out) Where do these play each other and what is their schedule? That is my point. Your so-called "teams" are nothing more than a collection of individual's statistics. That is like playing Maddon football. I guess what really bothers me about it is rooting for a player on your "team" who is actually playing against the Patriots that week. It is like trying to physically be in two places at once. (BTW, that is why in the scoring contest I never picked a team that was either playing the Patriots or for a Patriot's competitor in race in a game that wasn't expected to be a blowout, as an example I would pick Denver at home over Cleveland, but not against Oakland/Las Vegas.)

You're old fashioned, Sheldon. It's 2016 not 1620 if you catch my drift. Fantasy Football is huge and everyone is playing it for the past 10 years, many have been playing it for 20+ years. You still have teams and you win based on your team scoring more then the other team. It's a contest, just like every other game being played.
