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 figured 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.

Don't worry rust. I realized last year that I knew way fewer players than I thought I did. I did okay. And now I'm much better educated.

Don't trust the rankings. Because of the lockout and free agency being held up, there are a lot of players that shouldn't be anywhere near as high as they are.

Yeah the lockout and the incoming free agency scramble are going to make this one hell of a fantasy year haha

Update, we have 9 of the 12 spots filled so far. Cbats went from a maybe to a definite (nice team name), and Rusty was added (nicer team name), which means one of the original 8 posted in the last page hasn't signed up yet.
So when they sign up, we'll still have two spots open if anyone wants to throw their hat in the rink. I'm sure I8 would play if he ever comes back, but he hasn't been around since we've been talking about this. Anyone else interested?

Nah, cbats is in, he's the troll. I believe it's wompwomp who hasn't signed up yet, but he's going to, or has been at Oshega, so he'll probably sign up next week.

Woah woah woah. Good thing I decided to come back and check out the board. There is a fantasy football league??!! I'm totally in if there is still room. Baseball is not my sport, football on the other hand.
