Fantasy Football
If you could make a team out of all LOTR characters, who would play on it?

Hmm...interesting...but the trolls/ents kind of make it invincible
 . I personally pick Aragorn for QB, Gimli for FB, Faramir for HB, Legolas, Haldir, for WR, Celeborn, Glorfindel for TE, all of Gimli's buddies for DL, and the rest of his buddies for OL. Frodo w/ ring would be a nice HB to...unless the other side had a wraith secondary.
