You want to do the commish stuff again Chris? Yahoo's fine by me. I have no name preference. Might be wise to sign up soon, especially if people are interested in doing a live draft, all the desirable time slots are already gone, according to a little birdie.

I am in. The Tard Squad and their fans were deeply disappointed last season when they lost in what was a mockery of a football game, especially after winning hands down the entire season. I guess it goes to show that winning isn't everything.

I'd be interested. I've never really done fantasy football per say before, but I'm a quick learner so if Matt tells me what's going on, I'm in.

I went with AOL instead of Yahoo.
I set some of you up... Dorns, steg, mojo, derch, meph those are the guys I remember playing last year. I also set you guys up as commishes, for now, so you guys could tool around and see if you guys like the set up. Also so you could invite people and edit crap.. I have to go to work.
You guys can sign into the website with your aim user name and password.
Team ID is 515010
password: hint* its a Hill that has a road to it that some Brothers in Arms were going to. If Pat doesn't get this he should be fired
AIM: christroutman11 - I am required to be on at work... go figure :)

dude, you're like 20 minutes late :-P
Out of curiousity, how do AOL and Yahoo leagues compare? From my point of view, yahoo is nice because the other leagues I have happen to use yahoo, so I get a consistent interface between them and if I choose to shell out for the stattracker it applies to all of them. I have no experience whether the AOL leagues are better, worse, or similar in quality. I'm signed up for both leagues currently in any case :).

Also, lies at christroutman11 being on aim.

Especially since I work for Google and Chris works for AOL. Also, Pat works for Gearbox. I don't know why they might dislike Yahoo but I'm sure they do anyway.

On inspection the AOL league seems a lot more powerful. I like it.

We're coming out with this powerful Search Engine Based Browser that is going to be used with our new ISP Toolbar Messanger.
I am signed up for Yahoo, signing up for AOL.

Kenton would YOU like to try your hand at the Fantasy Football fun?
To answer the Stegs question, which he seemed to already answer ... but also to ease fears about AOL...
Like Yahoo, AOL has Customizable Scoring, Decimal Scoring, League Message Boards, and Live Draft Room... however AOL also provides free Live Scoring (10 bucks on yahoo), free Expert Analysis (20 bucks yahoo), free Draft Kit (10 bucks on Yahoo), free Advanced Commissioner Controls, plus the Decimal Scoring lets you take scores out to the thousandth decimal rather than the pitiful hundredth.
This is the first year that AOL has offered this to people outside of AOL membership.
I am indifferent to either... in fact we could do both if you guys want.

After poking around I prefer the AOL league. It has nice boatloads of options. Hell, you can customize scoring by position if you so desire.

Sorry, I don't know anything about football, and I don't like fantasy sports in the first place. So... I'm gonna pass.
