I’m not sure if I should have started this thread, or added it to the other, but they seem to be in full fantasy swing. Is there anyone else out there that would be interested in doing an SDMB fantasy football league that didn’t get in on wolfman’s league? If so, I’d be happy to set it up. If we get at least 6 interested parties (me being 1), I’ll fire it up, set a late draft day, and hope we get at least 2 more entrants. ---

There was a different league run by **Milossarian** last year. I liked that one and was hoping to re-up, but I have seen much from Milo in a while. Any info on that league? ---

I’d like to be in one. I was too late for wolfman’s league. ---

I was in Milo’s league last year too, been waiting to see if he’d start another. Missed out on Wolfman’s, I’ll play if you set it up Munch. As long as it’s on Yahoo, I hate Sandbox. ---

I’m still alive. I was still planning to do a league. But some of our more eager beavers were starting them in July. I can’t remember who all was in ours last year; otherwise I’d email them all. But it was a good bunch. So, in summation, yes, I was either planning to start a Doper league, or join one. I’ve been in leagues with Munch before, and I trust his judgement as a commissioner. Either way, it’s fine with me. ---

JarbabyJ and Sua played in our league last year as well, Milo. Past them, Shibb, you and myself, I can’t remember who else either. ---

I too am still alive. I was in last year, and had the distinct pleasure of finishing second. I’d love to play again, if only for the chance to wreck my revenge on the only man who was lucky enough to enjoy beers at my expense. And you know who you are… ---

Hope you don’t mind, Munch. I figured people from last year’s league who were waiting for mine might as well be combined with your efforts. Go to [www.sandbox.net](http://www.sandbox.net) Click on the “Full Contact Fantasy Football” link. After you create your team, join a private league. The league name is The Straight Dope, and the password is cecil The fast live draft is tentatively set for 9 p.m. EST on Wednesday, Sept. 11. That’s negotiable; however, night draft slots are filling up fast, and those are usually the ones that work best for people coast-to-coast. Sandbox allows you to modify your draft rankings rather easily, so it isn’t the end of the world if you can’t make the live draft. I’m thinking 10 or 12 teams, depending upon interest. We already have about 4 or 5 signed up. (Lady Ice - Empty that Hotmail inbox, Miss Popular) 🙂 _Please_ don’t join if you’re not able to stay committed to it for the entire season. ---

Teams that were in Milo’s league last year: Corrado’s Cavaliers lno’s Raging Suns Meek’s Mauraders Lady’s Ice Cubes Milo’s Fighting Ferrets Iampunha’s Deadbeats Jarbaby’s Welders Ok, that’s about half, I think there’s one team in there that is vetoed from playing again, as/if I recall the other’s I’ll throw them out there. Also who ran the Pick 'Em league? And has anyone heard from **Gazoo** since January? ---

I’m out. It seems you can only have one team at Sandbox, and I already have one. Just another reason to hate Sandbox. Oh well, I guess I get to miss out on you kicking my butt this year Milo. ---

Here are the teams that are in so far: 1. Milossarian’s Fighting Ferrets 2. lno’s Raging Suns 3. Detroit Beatdown 4. Denmark Vengeance 5. ShibbOleth’s Unskilled Hacks 6. West Side Talo-Fibulars 7. Florida Isotopes 8. Chicago the fists of diesel 9. Seattle Whizzing Wizards 10. Jax Beach Steelers Sad to see the Isotopes leaving Springfield/Alburquerque. Will also be sad to lose the Lady’s Ice Cubes. And for those of you have put in teams, apparently the Rumor Mill section is the area for league specific smack-fu at Sandbox. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ShibbOleth \* > \*\*Also who ran the Pick 'Em league? And has anyone heard from **Gazoo** since January? \*\* I am on another message board where I see Gazoo from time to time. I’ll see if I can point him over this way. It looks like all of last year’s “NFL predictions, week X” threads from weeks 13 and on were lost in the great crash of '01. I do recall Gazoo saying that you, **Shibb** , should lead the SDMB pick 'em this year. If you want to and want so help, I am willing. If you’re not interested in doing it, I can set it up. ---

Is Munch in? Obviously I’m not going to hijack his football league thread and create a league that he’s not in. Email me, dude, and we’ll set the league at 12 when you’re ready to register. You too, Lady Ice. ---

**Mouthbreather** : I don’t mind at least getting the ball rolling on that one; would just like to see **Gazoo** around as he is AFAIK the progenitor of those threads. But I was also referring to a league, on Yahoo!, where each person picked and ranked every game each week. Then points were awarded based on ranking. For example, if there were 16 games in week 1, then you would rank the games from 16 (most confident) to 1 (least confident). So there would be 136 points that week. Fewer in Bye weeks. Whoever has the most points at the end of the season wins. Now, during the playoffs I added a sort of points for picks thing, with rankings and such. All in fun. May do that if time allows and my interest is still there come playoffs time. Depends on how my Bucs do in the new AFC south. BTW, are you a Falcons fan or do I correctly recall that your loyalties lie with the Steelers? ---
