Smack! I love you all.  
Er, that’s not what you meant by smack talk, is it?

BTW, am I right to understand that we’re just playing for cummulative points, and not head-to-head? If so, that should be an interesting change of pace.

That’s the impression I got and since the “Week One Matchups” don’t show any actual matchups, I think it’s a points only. Never played a league that way.

I was surprised how deep most of the team where- a smaller league and lots of bench spots should mean a relatively close league.

Roster to follow.

</div>

QB - Donovan McNabb, Jake Plummer  
RB - LaDainian Tomlinson, TJ Duckett, Amos Zereoue, James Stewart, Marcel Shipp  
WR - Marvin Harrison, Tai Streets, Keenan McCardell, Joey Galloway  
TE - Marcus Pollard, Alge Crumpler, Jed Weaver  
K - Mike Vanderjagt, Sebastian Janikowski  
D - Pittsburgh, New Orleans

Overall, I am pretty happy considering I autodrafted. I ended up with my number 1 choices for running back, quarterback, wide receiver, and defense.

I have a couple of runningbacks and a tight end I would never pick. But, there are so many similar receivers that I can take care of all of my issues via free agency.

How many teams are in your league? Mully’s trio of LT, Harrison and McNabb confuse me.

**Munch** , there are nine teams, with starting slots of:

1 QB  
2 RBs  
2 WRs  
1 WR/TE  
1 RB/WR  
1 K  
1 Def

I guess whoever has the most points at the end of the season wins. And with such a small number of teams it’s almost like a Lake Woebeggon effect: every team is above average.

oops. ALT-S at teh wrong time. Let’s try again.

QB: Hasselback, Warner, Collins  
RB: James, Barber, Hearst, Mack, Pittman  
WR: Horn, Holt, Driver, Johnson (Keyshawn), Smith (Steve)  
TE: Miller, Clark (Dallas)  
K: Mare  
DEF: Oakland, NYG

I can live with it, considering that I picked last. I like the upside of my QBs very much, and I have as strong a WR corps as anyone (though WR are easy in today’s NFL). If James is back (and I think he is) then I like my chances.

Yeah geez **Shibbo** , how many first-round picks did you have! What a hog!
