Oh man. I'm already doing a work league and the MeFi one. Not sure I can handle managing a third! Hope everyone has fun!

Do it misskaz! It's a pretty relaxed league, go figure.

Yes, please join. Stupid yahoo won't let us draft with an odd number of teams. I can google in three seconds and find a head-to-head schedule for 11 teams. This is hard for you, yahoo?

Also, THREEPEAT MOFOS!

Just a warning, I'll be using my secret strategy of drafting only the most awesome players, so my team will be objectively the best.

If you guys really still need someone, I'll join. But I don't want to join after someone else has and put you in the odd number situation again. :)

I have never done fantasy football but I also had never done the final 4 bracket and had fun at that.

Wow, has it really been 3 years since my championship? I guess we'll have to rectify that. I'll start by remembering to show up for the draft, which I might not have without the reminder.

Also, I'm hoping at least one of you has seen Hard Knocks this year so that my team name is properly appreciated.

Thanks for the reminder, rainbaby. I knew the draft was this week, but for some reason I had it in my mental calendar as being Friday evening. Regardless, I'll be in the draft chatroom Thursday. Looking forward to it!

I am, indeed, alive. Also stressed out of my mind, with many aspects of my life suffering because of it. But nothing can diminish my excitement for the most magical time of year: Fantasy Draft Season!

Began looking for a new job this week. It has been a long time coming. Ssshhhhh, it's a secret.

danf, if you want to, jump on in, the water is fine! misskaz, you too. The husband has volunteered to last minute join if we are odd numbered. If that's cool. He's been to a bunnystock. . .

I'm in again this year.

Alright you crazy kids, you convinced me.

P.S. There's a draft chatroom?

posted by misskaz 02 September | 08:36

Yeah, we've done live drafts in the past. It's also possible to set your draft order in advance, though, if the time is inconvenient or whatnot.

Haven't popped into Yahoo to check out your team name, kyleg, but I'm wondering if it's "Child Please."

Sorry mups, had to go with "Kiss the Baby." You'll still receive our consolation prize... Ed, tell her what she's won!

Just a head's up: I've heard tell of several people having *very* long load times for the Yahoo Draft application, so you may want to make a mental note to start it up a little earlier than you normally do if possible.
