I am in four leagues this year. One money, one free entry with $250 going to the winner(to promote a fledgling sports site), one cafe league that is even more competitive than the previous two, and an nfl.com league I joined in late June because I just wanted to get into a draft room. The player rooting thing shouldn't be too bad this off season, as I still have lots and lots of players on none of these teams.

I'm doing four that I care about, and an additional two that aren't quite as important (though I'll never abandon any team)

Anything more than that gets really hard for me to put full effort into.

1 - is ideal
2 - i'm fine with
3 - is my max

I'm in 2 this year. 2 is probably max for football whereas 3 is my max from baseball. I wish I could limit myself to just 1 league a year.....its much more fun for me to just have 1 team to follow and root for.....live or die with 1 team!! But I can't seem to do 1 league mainly because of me wanting to play in different formats.

24

12 dynasty leagues I run
4 Yahoo.com public
3 NFL.com public
5 AOL.com public

For those who say that this is too many, I use the same basic strategy in all my leagues so there are many of the same players across my teams. Of course, no two rosters are the same, heck, no two starting lineups are the same. Regardless, I still don't have the problem of rooting for and against certain players or my favorite NFL team. Because of the large number of teams and players to keep up with (which is pretty much impossible), I've gone back to being a football fan. On Sunday, I just watch the games and enjoy rooting for my Broncos. When I see a player scoring, I don't worry whether I started him, and/or if he was started against me. After the games are over, I then look at my fantasy teams, figure up scores, and see how they did.
I have loved fantasy football since I first started playing in 1984, however, I had noticed a change in the way I watch football because of it. In a way it was fun, but it was bothersome anytime I felt a need for a player to score against my Broncos so I could win a fantasy game. By accident, I found that by playing in a bunch of leagues, it really allowed me to take Sunday off from fantasy football and just enjoy NFL football. I still had the other 6 days to work on my fantasy teams.

I'm down to 11 this year. 7 Cafe dynasty leagues (2 of which I am some type of commissioner), 3 redraft leagues with friends, and the league that Andy Behrens started. Last year I did 18 and commished 4, and I never had time to look at any league in-depth. I think I've got it down to a managable number this year, but that remains to be seen.
