Stuffed Monkey Mambo has entered the building. Although I reckon my team name will change, what won’t change is the fact that all of you will be trailing me when the season ends.

It’s too bad Yahoo won’t let you draft linebackers. I’d want Dick Butkis on my team!

And going for the obsessive-compulsive award, is Munch!

My initial thoughts:

I like the added WR/TE and WR/RB positions. I also really like the negative points for missed field goals.

No playoffs?

Any chance of setting the draft order a week or two before the draft so we can prepare for our draft position?

Adding TDs to the defensive scoring is excellent. But it massively inflates DEF (it makes 15 of the defenses Top 200 players). Maybe that’s good, maybe not.

For those of us that were too late to join this league, I have created another (through Yahoo).

It is the Adams Football League. ID# 53542. Password: Zotti.

I’ve scheduled the draft for August 30 (Saturday) at 11:30 a.m. Central time.

If you disagree with my allotments and scoring choices, we can certainly discuss it.
