There are a few leagues already floating around. **duffer** ’s league just filled up, with a couple of people already bemoaning the fact.

Are there enough interested parties left to set up one more league? If there are, I’ll set one up this evening that will draft next Sunday (the 14th) – I’m too impatient to wait for September.

So, roll call of potential owners?

I’ve been saving myself for the keeper league of last year, can somebody let me know if that league is dead?

Keeper league is alive, but I have room for one more on my schedule. I’ll play.

Alright, I set up a league on Yahoo with a draft this Sunday, at 8:45 PM Eastern. The league’s name is **Theismann-Maguire-Patrick: RIP**. This football season, we shall honor the memory of the worst broadcasting crew in football history before it’s disbanded at the end of the year.

Right now the league is set up to hold a cozy 8 teams, but I’ll increase that (and tweak the roster settings appropriately) if more people want to play. Eight offensive starters, four (individual) defensive starters, one kicker, and seven bench spots. Yes to return yards and fractional points. One or two minor scoring quirks, but mostly pretty standard.

It doesn’t look good. Apparently there is not sufficient interest for another league.

How many do you have already? I’m prepared to step up to the plate and be a warm body if needed. The individual defensive starters is something I’ve never done before.

Yep, down to two spots filled with about an hour to go. Gotta disband the league. Sorry.

I am in, not sure what happens if it doesn’t fill up…

Ummm… I was in the keeper league the last two years and have repeatedly said that I wanted to be in it again.  
Did I do something to offend?
