Just realized that the draft time won’t work for me. Wednesday nights are no good. My prefered time is during the day M-F, otherwise any evening other than Wednesday or a weekend will wook too. ---

The Rockville Crows are in the house… and are currently scheduled to battle the Baltimore Weirdos in week’s one **Battle of Maryland**. Yer so dead, Dave. 🙂 ---

The **Rage of a lotta suns** will burn fiercely and destroy you all! Well, first I’d have to work through all of my other issues; you know, the kind that distract you from the things that you mean to do, so you can’t get to anything on your to-do list, and end up accomplishing diddly-squat all day because you were stuck working through all the distractions and didn’t get to the meat of the issue? Yeah, it’s that kind of rage. ---

The IceCubes are in! Will they hold up like the polar cap, or melt like a cheap popsicle in the hot sun? Only time will tell.😛 ---

**Montfort** - bwah! The Reign of Maryland Supremacy will not truly be achieved until you have also bested Corrado’s Cavaliers! Prepare to be mangled, as I try my best to steal as many Ravens as I can from weirddave’s icy grip… ---

Ha, foolish mortals! Watch as the **Unskilled Hacks** take firm control of the cellar! Bwah-ha-ha! BTW, isn’t the draft a bit early regards the start of the regular season. For example, who is the Saints starting QB, probably won’t know by next week… ---

Returning from a dismal 2001 SDMB Fantasy Season, this year’s **Continental Drifters** promise to kick serious ass! (Although last year we may’ve been called the Terlingua Ranchers… I can’t remember.) Well, the Drifters at least hope to play better fantasy football than fantasy baseball… ---

Look, go rent a life or something, will ya? 😉 I mean, why you remember that… And I say the Crows will have nothing to caw about, while I will treat John’s team cavalierly to reign supreme in the Old Line State. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by iampunha \* > \*\*You beat Montfort for your first victory. \*\* I assure you that that was no large feat last year. I had no clue how to do fantasy football for the first six weeks or so. This year, alas, my friend Dave will be not receive his first victory until week two. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Weirddave \* > And I say the Crows will have nothing to caw about, while I will treat John’s team cavalierly to reign supreme in the Old Line State. So that’ll give you . . . two victories? I think I can live with that:D ---

Beating your team was _supposed_ to be a “sure thing”. Meanwhile, I think **Montfort** was thinking the same thing about me… I think. Anyway, **this** year I’m _serious_ about kicking ass! ---

It’s full, eh? I hope **Whammo** made it in, so he can try to make another foolish bet with me over the outcome of our match. 😛 [sub]If I lose in week 3, it’s because I’m getting married that day.[/sub] ---

Should there be a second league for those of us, like myself, who didn’t make it into the first one. I played last year and it was a blast. ---

Well, the sandbox league has places open. Alternativel, if **Milo** set the limit at 12 perhaps we can convince these folks to open it to 14.
