Is anyone going to do a fantasy football league? Yahoo says that signups start sometime today.

(Figuratively, I mean... I'll do it when we actually get the league going. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> )

It's up. Any particular requests for a draft time? And, if someone else wants to be commish, have at it.
In general Draft time will be best for me if late at night...I work lots of times til 10 so I'm like never on...but lemme know and I'll see what I can do
Late at night is always good for me....

Ditto for me

Im in if there is still room.
I'm in, although I haven't figured out my team name yet. I have never played Fantasy Football before, so you should all get a good laugh.
You will do better than you think....

The most I know about football is that most quarterbacks are good looking and the rest of the guys have no necks...i.e. nicknames like "refrigerator".
Just another thought...
Although I don't know alot about football, I am learning all that I can between now and when the season starts. I might not be experienced, but I will promise you that I will be an active Fantasy Football player - not one of those people who sign up and then never do anything.
Three spots left.
CougarReggie, if you want in, sign up.

I would have done this if the draft wouldn't have taken about 7 hours.
DRAFT IS TUESDAY NIGHT!!!!!!!!
DRAFT DAY!!!!
Lets bring it. I got the 7th pick, I wish I was a little higher but nothing I can do about that. You guys are going down.
I've got pick #9. I'm determined to have a better showing than I've had in Fantasy Baseball...I can't do much worse... <img border="0" alt="[laugh]" title="" src="graemlins/laughing.gif" />
