Don't mean to butt in over here but the following may be helpful. My experience on this site, as well as others, suggests that there are few "joiners" and even fewer "contributors". To make any group or idea successful takes a lot of work on the part of the group administrator. There are many here who merely join a group just to join! They have no intention of ever contributing anything. Look around and you'll see some members who have well over 50 groups they belong to! Don't get discouraged, just redouble your efforts! Just my 2 cents, which with inflation is now worth .000025 cents!!

well thank you to pawnsprayer for making some excellent points!i will start an NFL group and i hope everyone will tell their teams and give all of the members a chance to join,even if your not intrested.thanks everyone and i hope this will bring more members to our tams,thats my ultimate goal by starting this group.

I like the idea.  First of all because we can dominate and create more interest in the individual teams(with the overall desire to continue developing the original idea).  Remember, that now that the NFL season is starting there will be more interest and I have a list of 30 or more members waiting for their favorite teams to be created(members without paying accounts).  Plus we would all have a place to discuss the NFL's events and keep up a momentum for the ultimate goal.  

As far as recruiting for individual teams is concerned, you've got to realize that for every 30 members i invited i got 1-3 interested and even a couple of them weren't real Bears fans.  I'm sorry I haven't been more active in helping out the league recently.  Don't have a computer and my time is short.  

I like the idea cowboys, but I have to say we should start when we have 57 members ( 2 coaches, 55 players). When we reach 57 members we can still recruit until we have a full size + complete NFL team.

If it wern't for the fact that its a cowboys fan, I 'm in favor of the idea.  Vote chess sucks so I dont like that idea.

There doesn't seem to be an overly big NFL fan base on this site, which is making recruiting difficult for some teams.  I even got the admin of the " Team USA: North-Central" group (which has over 300 members) to post a message in there about joining the Colts.  Didn't seem to help much as I've still only got 7 members...

KARL AND KILLABEEZ!,BOTH OF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 10 MEMBERS!so why dont you both recruit more members to your own teams then!

killabeez,ive noticed you are the admin of your team and you have very few members.if you dont like my idea,then i suggest you recruit more members to your team!that way you will be a legit team!other wise your team is meaningless to the league

I'm not in favor of this.  While I see the point in having a single NFL group, the whole point of the NFL league would be lost.  Have a vote chess league with customized divisions and I think we could be fine.  If people really care about their team, they won't hesitate to vote in vote chess

OK by me:)
