So here's the obvious question: How has the current lockout affected your interest in fantasy football this year? And even more importantly, how will a prolonged lockout affect your interest in high-stakes fantasy football this year?
Like Wayne, the lockout while annoying hasn't affected my interest yet at all. I've also already been part of a number of drafts this season, having completed both the Trendsetters and Genesis drafts and currently drafting for two Dynasty leagues, one an independent startup. I've enjoyed or am enjoying all of them. In fact, I've probably focused as much or more on my current football drafting than my baseball teams which are actually playing games right now!
It remains to be seen if my interest fades if the lockout extends into July or August, never been through this before while playing fantasy. Even if my interest remains just as strong, the ability to finalize plans is going to be a bigger hurdle the longer the lockout continues.
That said Greg, I believe most of your hardcore players, those like myself who frequent the boards and draft even now in mid-May, will do whatever it takes to make last minute plans and rearrange schedules to be a part of the NFFC no matter when the lockout ends. We're just too addicted. The worry has to be about the marginal player, who takes one Main Event team or one Primetime or plays a couple satellites. I can see that type of player writing off the fantasy football season if the lockout extends too far into training camp. I don't necessarily see them making the efforts necessary to adjust last minute plans. That player will be the issue for the high stakes contests. [/QUOTE]keep focusing on football Glenn and ignore the AC auction baseball league so the 2nd place team can catch you:) [/QUOTE]Andy, is that you in 2nd? Sorry, didn't notice. I'm a little near sighted and everything gets blurry that far back.

Just kidding Bud, a lot of season to go and should be a battle. Good luck the rest of the way.
