Which site are you planning to use Know? We had an earlier vote for ESPN. I've used Yahoo for the last five or six years, so I'm used to that. Anyone other than the earlier vote have a preference? And Stamper, you know I was being ironic earlier when I called you out for making so many moves in fantasy baseball. At the time I posted it, we had the same number of moves. |

I'm familiar with NFL.com and yahoo. I'm sure ESPN is no different.

Is the plan to do a live draft or pre-ordered lists for all?

Although live drafts are hard for me to swing with work and all.

The draft will be live. The baseball draft was around 630pm which gave us westcoast folks who work normal hours time to get home and settled, while giving the Alaskan 30 minutes to do the same, and not keeping Stamper up too far past his bedtime. If you can't make the live draft, auto draft will pick your team based on ESPN's player ranking. You can edit those rankings pre-draft as well, if you want to move your favorite players up.
I'll check out the ESPN league over the next couple days to see if we are allowed to edit the amount of players in the league. In the past, I've signed up my yahoo league capping it at 14 teams, then if we couldn't fill the positions, we dropped that number the week before the draft. If that is possible in the ESPN league, I'll get it going soon. If it isn't, I'll wait until we know for sure who is playing. So far we have 8.5 interested. 8 would work, 10 or 12 would be ideal. Everyone pretty much plays head to head, so that is what we'll be doing.
Playing:

I might do it. I'll just pick a team with names that sound fun.

I created a league in ESPN. I'll send the league number and password to those who are playing. I capped the league at 12 teams. ESPN does not let you edit anything after the league is created. I previously mentioned I wouldn't create a league for another month if you couldn't edit the settings, but I Dr. Garbanzoured it would be better to give ample time for people to sign up, so we know exactly how many extras we need to fill the league.

Bah! Fantasy site is blocked at work. Guess I'll have to tether with my phone if I work on draft day.

Yeah I don't know all that much about football, but I find being in a pool forces you to get into it, and I've always wanted to follow the NFL more thoroughly. If there is still room, sign me up!
Edit: So I'm in, and I was just looking at the auto-pick rankings, and this confirms my fears: I have not kept up with the NFL since like 2005. I only know maybe 10 names in the top 50, and beyond that some of the names just sound familiar to me. But I refuse to auto-pick my team, good or bad this will be my team.
