This is for the people not in our other league to see what we can do here. Some of the people have cool pictures of their area and stuff. Please post some of those you Euro trash and Dive for the new guys. I will start but have no pictures. Just picture the beach.
I am Craig also know as Craig440. I live a few miles east of San Diego. I am a huge Charger fan. I am older than most of you but love fantasy and real football. I have three grown kids and two grand kids. I have a problem spelling, but don't let it make you think I am stupid. I have play ff for four years in a very competitive money league. I won the championship and $1000. two years ago. I was high scorer last year but didn't even make the playoffs as everyone got lucky the week I played them. I have my own little pool service and repair business. I don't work much anymore. Okay next.
Oh yeah and I am sarcastic and passive aggressive I've been told, so don't take me wrong. If I say something and you take it wrong, then you took it wrong. If I ever have a problem with anyone they will know. Other wise I'm just a wise guy.

For those who don't know me in this league I go by Steelers1954 at the NFL Forums. I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, the company I worked for transfered me down here to South Carolina in 1997 I live in a town called Woodruff which is between Greenville & Spartanburg. I am disabled and no longer work for my company because I fell and fractured my back in a ice storm in 2004. I have loved and watched the game of football for many years, this will be my second year for fantasy football my son got me started lasted year. We have a very nice group of people here in our league and I know we all will have fun playing against each other and getting to know each other.

For those who don't know me, which is most if not all of you, I am projcm on the NFL Forums. I go by Justin or Jay, so I will use both interchangeably. I grew up in Idaho and moved to Italy for three years (2003-2006). My dad served in the Air Force so that is why I lived overseas. The summer of '06 I moved back to Boise where I have since graduated high school and now attend college at Boise State University. I have been a huge Boise State Broncos fan for many many years (way before they became more mainstream). I attended both the 2006 and 2010 Fiesta Bowls. Greatest memory has to be the Hook and Ladder and Statue of Liberty (I was up at the corner of the stadium where all the action was at). I am a big NFL fan as well, so dont let my passion for college football fool you. I suppose I will now let you know I am a Minnesota Vikings fan. My dad was born and raised in Minnesota and so I grew up watching Viking games, hence thats why I am a fan of the Purple and Gold. So yes if I have a top pick it will be AD lol. BTW I am 20 years old as of June 2nd, that is if any of you were wondering. If you guys have any questions about me I would be glad to answer them.
I have to say I am really happy and apprecitative I get to Fantasy Football with you guys. The season hasnt even started yet but I can feel a very positive league chemistry, one of which I hope I will soon become apart of. I look forward to playing with you (or really against you).
P.S. I would post a couple of pictures of myself if I can figure out how to do so. I am still learning how to operate on this forum.

Awesome Justin. I want to call you Justin, cuz my son in law is Jay. Isn't the Fiesta Bowl in Arizona?
I'm not a big college guy so who is the best rookie to take? *wink wink* Don't answer that. Advantage you. haha good luck and lets have fun. Nice story!
Very nice Blitzburg! Haha I like that Blitzburg. Yes the steeler's do blitz sometimes huh? Oh and I hope you are doing okay. But remember I am older than you! ha

Nice job everyone. This is a copy/paste from our other league, but with a few updates....
Grew up in Bronx, NYC, moved to Chicago after college (SUNY at Stony Brook), that's when I first developed an enthusiasm for the NFL - the Bears and that Superbowl Shuffle. Moved to Seattle 2002, finally landing in Philly, as my family is here & in NJ.
Bookkeeper from 16 - 20 yrs old. Junior Underwriter 1st job after college. Chicago...13+ years as a construction news reporter, almost 3 years a mainframe applications programmer for (Arthur) Andersen until the Enron debacle ended that. Currently unemployed for a couple years for personal reasons, mostly caring for my mom, as some of you know died last Feb.
Fun stuff... There is tons of this, thankfully... 1) Scuba diving, surprise surprise. Got over 500 dives under my weight belt. All over the Bahamas, Caribbean, Keys, Hawaii, Fiji, Thailand/Burma, and the balmy 40F waters off British Columbia, Canada. 2) Skiing - All over WI, MI & MN, US & Canadian Rockies (Colorado, Whister/Blackcomb, BC) , Sierras (NV/CA), MT, WA, Innsbruk Austria, Switzerland. Also trips to Copenhagen & Germany (Munich & Berlin), but no skiing there) 3) Horseback riding - Went to many dude ranches out west (Wyoming & Colorado and Idaho) & midwest and won a red ribbon in barrel racing once. Missed my calling. 4) Poker - Omaha hi/lo is my fave. Can't play online anymore, the Feds cracked down on most sites.
I live with my boyfriend/S.O. Danny. A bit of a role reversal. I wanna watch all things football and now, sadly, game shows, he wants old movies. Oh, just started FF fall '09. But jumped right in and commished 2 leagues with PPR, IDP, and joined 2 more. Learned the most last year from being a forum member, and trying to help others.
Okay, okay, okay give someone else a chance.

What else.....I work in a Primary School as a Learning Mentor helping children with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. Underpaid but quite nice work. This will be my 2nd full season of FF. Last year I ran 5 teams and won 2 league, came 2nd in one, playoffs in the other and bummed out in the last one. I love FF. It's wizard!!!!

What's a boozer? Is that a bar? Sometimes you Euro's use words that are unfamiliar to me. Like wizard. It's great to learn new things.

Yeah boozer = pub, ale house, bar or more often than not the place to escape work. It does lush food, real ales and in winter a nice cozy wood burning fireplace. Its real nice! You should all go there sometime.

I'm bumping this for Ace and the others. For some reason this kind of thread has been one of my favorites. The one on the other forum was great. It cant hurt to tell people about yourself. No one is going to track you down and slit your throat. I just really like knowing a little about ya all. Take a minute and tell us. Craig
