> [@duffer](#): > > I’m assuming a joke based on any of the 419 scams. No, no. Christian Okoye a.k.a The Nigerian Nightmare was a bruising back for the KC Chiefs back in the 90’s (?). So I’d assume the **ReallyNotAllThatBright** is a Chiefs fan. Poor guy. ---

Anyone want to join this league in the next two hours? We have a 7:45 pm (EDT) draft time and an odd number of team owners, and Yahoo won’t let you draft unless the league has an even set of owners. So, c’mon. Join. It’ll be fun. Join. Now. ---

Ok, so the draft has been pushed back. Now is YOUR chance to join this league. No rush, no anxiety, just good clean fun, the kind of fun you used to have as a kid, when you’d run outside on a fall day with a nerf football and some friends, and throw the ball around and laugh and run, until the bigger kids from down the block, high on weed, would come and threaten you, and shoot bb guns at you, and rub your face in the mud in front of the girl you had a crush on. Yeah. It’ll be like that, only better. So join up! ---

First, **Jimmy Chitwood** set up the league, not me. Second, ew. “Chiefs fan”… _retches_ I’m a Bucs fan. Yes, we exist after non-superbowl seasons too. ---

I’ve made about a gazillion trade offers- missed the draft thanks to _Huracan Frances_ and got shafted by the autodraft thingy. Go and accept them at once. If you don’t like them, make me a counteroffer- if you’re giving me a starting tailback, I’m willing to give up a lot. ---

FYI - I’m not getting any league emails for some reason right now, so I may not be aware of any trade offers, I’ll try and visit site often. **ReallyScrewedByTheAutodraft** , I responded to your trade offer. ---

That cleared up the problem for me, but then again I use hotmail. > [@](#): > > Tentatively Sun Sep 5 at 8:45 EDT. But the rest of the league has to confirm that’s ok. hehheh, I was wondering why I thought it was 8:00pm EST. No big deal, I’m kind of enjoying the trading dynamic. Still haven’t heard back about the biggest one, though. Whomever has Pennington, check out your trade proposals. Vick sure does run a lot… ---

So this is kind of a last chance cry to join us, but whereever The Samurai and Senor Beef are, come play. You both have good teams, and the 10 other people in the league are active. ---

Senor Beef just posted to the other fantasy football thread yesterday about yet another Yahoo league, so he’s active on the boards, at least, and he still seems to be aware of the Yahoo fantasy world in general. I would think eventually he’ll see that _other_ league on his little homepage thinger and pop in for a visit. ---

I think I glanced over the free agent list and didn’t see anything I wanted to pick up, so I was waiting until we were close to opening weekend shuffle stuff.
