Hey everyone! We had a great run last year, and I signed us up again this year for a free Yahoo Fantasy Football League. Rules are pretty much the same, except we are reverting back to a head to head format with expanded playoffs. Of course we are keeping the live draft, as that was extremely popular last year. Here is the sign-up information and league settings. We can modify some of these settings so let me know what you think.

Can you bump that draft by a bit? I may be in transit from Canada to the US that day. Personally, I prefer a late August draft anyway, that way nobody gets burned by having a high draft pick injured in one of the first couple preseason games (Like Vick last year), but the 5th or 6th would be fine, I’ll be back in town then. ---

I don’t think that will be an issue, lets get some more opinions on the exact draft date. Thanks Dave ---

By the way, the game is open to people who did not play in our league last year. And its the right price- **Free!** 🙂 ---

The draft has been moved back to Mon Aug 23 9:00pm EDT. We still need 6 more easy marks, I mean other players. 😉 ---

Ok, I’m in. I need to redeem myself after my horrible showing in both doper Baseball leagues this year (although it’s far from over). Looking forward to it. ---

I’m in! I have an idea. Can we make a forced fumble 1 point and a fumble recovery one point? ---

Another joiner here! Last year, I was the **Remedials**. My team sucked Corey Dillon’s ass. This year… **Martha’s Cellmates**!! Two (2) spots left. Any overflow can join my 12 team league [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=266895). ---

Welcome aboard! \*\*Looks like we still have one spot left. \*\* First come first serve. Remember the live draft is _Mon Aug 23 9:00pm EDT_. Make sure to check out your computer which you will be drafting from prior to the draft with the “test your system” link. Last year’s live draft was alot of fun, so I strongly encourage you to be there if you can. Also don’t forget to prepare your best Mel Kiper ripping the Colts style draft insults. Those who cannot be there should edit the pre-rankings accordingly- cause those Cardinals and Lions will be _flying_ off the draft board. Not to mention Quincy Carter. . . 😉 ---

I am in, and I’m already filling out my draft card with Dallas Cowboy WR. I hear that Testaverde is going to eb the bomb! 😃 ---

Sweet! Good to have you back- Don’t forget Raven’s WRs, that Travis Taylor is certainly first round material. . . . 😃 ---

I hear the Niners are stacked at wideout, too. But my sleeper pick is going to be Ricky Williams – he’ll have to come back once he runs out of nachos. ---
