This week’s assignment from the League: Ninja Attack!

August 27, 2012 by 33 Comments

ninja attack

Fantasy football season is upon us and I know not everyone is a fan of football, but I think it’s safe to say that everyone is a fan of ninjas. This week’s topic was suggested by UnderScoopFire’s Howie Decker, and it is sure to put hair on your chest…

—

Who would you take in an 80′s character fantasy draft? Your team’s goal will be to defeat a shady conglomerate of Russian businessmen and their team of hired ninjas. It’s go time.

Once you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

 

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for joining The League.)

    I meant to add- try to limit your team to 5 characters or less – here are some example teams from when we did an actual draft a year ago: http://underscoopfire.com/letter-from-the-editor/fantasy-task-force-database/

      The list is alot like an inside the park homerun…non-traditional but it counts! Nicely done on the topic.

      The minute you mentioned movies in your 2nd comment, I thought of the character you picked. I went another route though. I used some variety with my list choosing one character from Cartoons, Comics, TV, Movies, and Video Games. Will post the link soon.
