I made a fantasy football league on Yahoo for your pigskin fans. Live online draft will be Sunday, August 30 at noon.

To join, click this link.

Follow the link above or if you go to game front page, click the "Sign Up Now" or "Get Another Team" button and follow the links to "Join a Custom League". When prompted, enter the League ID# and password below.

League ID#: 576433
Password: burnside

Yahoo will send you a confirmation with further details once you have completed the registration process.


Let me know what kind of scoring rules you guys like. Here are the Yahoo defaults:

One quarterback, 3 wide receivers, 2 running backs, a tight end, a kicker and a defense. By default there are 6 bench spots, but I'm a fan of shortening that.

I'll sponsor a basketball league when the time comes, but honestly, between last year's baseball/football and this year's baseball I'm feeling pretty whipped. Go get em' tigers.

I tried to persuade Angelhair that this might be a fun thing to do together. I didn't like the look that she gave me.

I state from repeated experience that it's NOT A GOOD IDEA AT ALL to have your wife/gf/significant-female-other in the league. I've been smart enough to avoid this, but woe to those who've tread this ground.

Picture having to explain to her what one of us means when we say "My team gave you a big 'ol set of Arabian Goggles this week. HAHA!"

I don't know what Arabian Goggles are.

Maybe if we ever have a fantasy Top Chef league...

Suggested scoring/rule changes:

45 max moves
Divisions: yes
Continuous Waivers (rolling), not Sun-Tues. 2 day waivers.
QB, RB, WR, TE, K, D, 3 Off Flex, BN, BN, BN, BN - 3 WRs is suckfest prone.
No Fractional Points. Yes to Negative Points
Passing: 25yds/pt, 6pts/TD, -3pts/INT
Rushing: 10yds/pt, 6pts/TD, -3pts/Fumble Lost, no pts taken for a fumble not lost
Defense: 2pts/sack, 3pts/INT, 15 pts for a shutout, rest of them stay the same

I also vote we do 1pt/reception to reward the awesomeness of possession WRs.

I'm in. Hell, it's free fun, right? I'll probably lose it all as I don't know a thing about football, and then there's always RN school. LOL. Consider me fodder for the sausage grinder.

Hey, didn't Flying Monkeys win last season? She ought to be given the chance to retain her title.

Why 45 max moves? I must have been awfully close to that last season.

What a great opening weekend, capped off with two great Monday Night games. Here's to a fun season!
