I'm a football, baby, rollin' round the field...

This is my time of year. A time I look forward to each year and always seems to fly by far too quickly.

That time is known as Fantasy Football Season! And, this year, I am a part of three different leagues.

The first one is a league with some of the regular posters over at MySportsRadio. It's a private league hosted through Yahoo and it should be fun even though I missed the live draft and wound up with a relatively sketch team overall.

My second team is with the guys that I've been playing fantasy football with since 2001. We start up a new league each year, but this is the first time we've really attempted some sort of keeper league. Each of us chose an offense and defense player from our team last season to "keep" this year. However, since we didn't pay for a true keeper league, we had to just work it out ourselves. Oh, and we also expanded it from six teams last year to eight this year. So we also had to figure out how to make it somewhat of an expansion draft. But it seems to have worked out. Despite some browser issues during the live draft, I've got a pretty good team and I should do decently during the season.

The final team I just signed up for and hadn't even planned on until I read about it on Down With Pants. Yep, our fair commissioner, Brandon, started a blogger fantasy football league. It's a pretty bitchin' idea and I would recommend you all check it out and consider taking part.

Right now, it's just Brandon, Dave, and me. But we're hoping it will expand. Not sure yet what the maximum number of teams are. But it will be fun. Even if you're not a football fan and know little to nothing about the game, you should consider it (Karl, please reconsider). I knew very little about football when I started in on fantasy leagues against my will back in 2001. I wound up doing pretty well. I think I ended in third place out of eight teams. It was great. And I've done it every year since. I always have fun.

Oh, and unless Brandon wants to correct me, there's no rule limiting this league to just men. Having some of you ladies in the league would be a blast, too. Chase? Kilax? Jacquie?

If you're a blogger and you're looking for a good time, then check out Brandon's post for more information.

You know you want to. And they want you to, as well.

C'mon... just one little click and football greatness can be yours.

I can barely read the words 'fantasy football' without my eyes glazing over. I really did read this post 3 times before I understood (?) what you were talking about. Seriously. Me + sports = sleepy time.

I'll just be your cheerleader.

Go team! Wait...what sport is this again? *jiggling boobies around*

[Brandon]

Nope, no rule saying it can only be men. I want a good mix of people in there. The only thing I ask is that you be active and fun. I do have a maximum of 12 teams though. More than that and you end up with awful players on your team and it's no fun.

Thanks for spreading the word!

i have no clue how to play, but i'm in. And you're going down kapgar, oh yes....

because i am relying on the power of beginner's luck.

(my team is the navelgazing ramblers...)

[kapgar]

Chase, you could have fun. But we'll settle for boobie jiggles.

Brandon, we have one lady now! This could be fun. I've never played against girls. Other than when I call my opponents bitches, of course.

Suze, I saw you on there. Welcome aboard! We have two others as well. So it's turning out pretty good. Six total and six more to go. Oh, and you're the one who's going down you age liar, you! Yeah, your Yahoo profile says you're 25. But we all know better, don't we? ;-)

Dude, if I could focus long enough to enjoy football, I might give Fantasy football a try, but I'm too busy mourning right now. It's my lot as a Boston baseball fan.
You kids have fun, though.

Dude, putting hot girls in your posts will always keep them fresh, with no fear of ever going stale.

[kapgar]

Tracy, there's no crying in baseball! Now that we've established that, go sign up!

Johnny, I was waiting for someone to say that. Need a hook-up?

my hubby is down to 2 ff teams this year. He is commissioner of one and his buddy is over the other. They are both keeper leagues. He's had them for years. This year, they are doing both their drafts at Buffalo Wild Wings. They have a deal that if you do your draft there you get like 150 free wings or something like that. He's so stoked.

Oooh, I would love to jump in on Brandons league but I don't know the first thing about fantasy football. I would love to learn though.

[kapgar]

Sean would help you! You should sign up. He'd get a kick out of it and we'd love to have you. Get there quick. It's filling up. We're at 7 of 12 teams now if not more by the time you read this.

Really, you should do this. You'd enjoy the hell out of it. And I'd help you out. You know that.
