Yeah, I know, it’s May, but hey, Football (the NFL to be exact) is a large part of my non-work life. I’d like to set up a SDMB league, 16 teams tops, live on-line draft. No money, but the owners will each send a small ($5-10) item that represents either the Doper or the area they are from to the league champ. Maybe even somehow make a SDMB travelling trophy that the winner adds something to each year. I’ll find the time to commish it. Who’s interested? Motfort? OMNI? DKW? Joseph Finn? RTFirefly? Stuffinb? Crunchy? etc, etc… ---

I’m interested. I love fantasy football. The travelling trophy sounds like a great idea to me. ---

ok, 2 down. 14 to go. I’ll start a list. I’m going to assume 8 spots taken in addition to **White Lightning** so the “regulars” get in. I like the travelling trophy idea too. We’ll have to develop that idea. ---

And you forgot about me. Just for that I won’t play. Oh, who am I kidding. I’m definitely in. ---

**Ino** , and others that I’m sure I forgot, no offense meant. I’m getting old and the memory is becoming more of a steel sieve than the steel trap it once was. You’re in. ---

And me? Am I not a regular? Hell, I’m busy in the SDMB fantasy croquet league right now. Count me in. ---

Oops. Sorry Dave. Like I said, the memory ain’t what it once was. You’re in, of course. Did you get Oswald Cobblepot in the croquet league? That guy rules! ---

No, I got Jack Napier instead ---

I’m definitely in. I’ll be starting college around then so I won’t really know anyone who I can start a league with. ---

**BKB** - another that I forgot! I shouldn’t have even listed names apparently. You’re in. What school? ---

With the first pick of the SDMB Fantasy Croquet Draft, Hamlet takes: Dick Pearman. Oh, I’d also like to get in on the fantasy football gig too. But for the injury to Edgerrin, I woulda won last year’s. Not that I’m bitter or anything. ---

I’m going to American, so there’s an off chance I could go to a Redskins, err, Warriors, game. ---

**Hamlet** is in. Assuming some spots already taken by \*\*Montfort, Omni, DKW, Crunchy, Stuffinb, RTFirefly, etc. \*\*, we have 2 spots left at best. ---

… a coup is under way to topple last year’s SDMB FFL Commissioner. Let’s hope it’s bloodless. Is it because he crushed his fellow league-mates into oblivion? Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm… P.S. I’m a huge NFL fan. But worrying about this in _MAY_?!? You are the NFL equivalent of the guy who wears the Enterprise shirt and the pointy ears at the Star Trek convention! (;)) ---

Will this be the same league (as **Milossarian** ’s) or a different league? Many of the names are the same. Either way, count me in. I am not nearly obsessive enough, and I figure this is a great way to work on that particular New Year’s resolution. ---

Count me in, if there’s still room. I will be _finishing_ school in 8 weeks, so I can finally concentrate on more important things (like FF’ball) That should leave you all soiling yourselves in fear, BTW. ---

I finished damn near the bottom of **Milossarian’s** FFL last season… But if there’s room, sign me up!
