Middle of June, summer is racing along. Who is commish? Online or in flesh? Is the league full and fixed at 14? Yahoo this year?

I think JJ has a possible replacement suggestion instead of Yahoo for the new league.

I'm a slavish devotee of
CBS Sportsline. I wouldn't force it upon everyone since it is not a free site, but I think the cost spread across 12-14 teams is worth it. I've already renewed my US league on this site and corrected my contact information, so I will hopefully be receiving the draft board from them this year which we could use for the TT league. We made due with a makeshift board last year, but it just wasn't the same.

@PES - You should know that your proxy will absolutely refuse to draft Michael Vick. Plan accordingly.

We have booked our flights to Lobsterland (Maine) from August 21st through the first week in September. I hope we meet for the draft before then.
Ditto to what 3Lions said.

I spoke to Keith (new Arc owner) about this and he said we could do a draft during the day on a Sunday, as we did last year. Seemed to work well then, didn't it?
I'll be Commish again if you want. I'm in Munich until the middle of next season
I can't do 12 August - every other date is fine
I can do the 5th of August, but if Hazza can't on the 12th, then that is the only date in August I can make it. I have a proxy if that fails. I appreciate Hazza's offer to return!
The Lefties
PS. I can make it also on a weekday.

Maybe I will draft all rookies and call them the Virgin Mary's.
You mean, surely, the Hail Marys?

Damn, even better. I must be slipping.
My team will be called the All Hail Marys.
Love it!!!

So should we confirm 5 August then?
I just saw an error in my last post though - I'll be in Munich until the middle of next year, not the middle of next season. So I'll actually be here for the whole season, which is better for the comp.
Also, I had a look at the CBS Fantasy Football site. It looks good to me. Costs under $10 each to enter, but then we won't have to pay extra individually to get stat-tracker - looks like there's more info available and more flexibility on the scoring. Looks like the price is a special until 12 July, so we need to decide soon whether to use it, or pay more later.
Let's start getting entry confirmations here. Preference given to those who have entered in previous seasons, but if there's anyone who hasn't been involved, then let us know on this thread. First in get first free spots - several people have left Munich, so I'm sure a few spots will open up.

I didn't read the rest of the thread and just expect you all to fill me in...
PS - I can play too if anyone has a live team. 6' 220lb hands like fly paper. I played rugby in college. I just want to hurt people...

Played rugs in college and Japan but would rather play Ami ball over here. It's...just...better...

Actually, no, I can't read. And I didn't bother to read page 1-3 (I just scanned it).
Aug 5 sounds good to me. I just want to make sure I'm kept in the loop! If and when I meet some of you guys, you'll understand why I love the sport so much!
Leave is to Beaver. Can't wait.

Good news. The official draft board arrived today. Those of you in the league two years ago will know what I mean.

BTW, I talked to 3 Lions today and I am sure he will be in the league again.
He's placed first and third in his first two years. No longer a rookie.
If we settle on the 5th (of August) for a live draft at the Arc the Lefties will be on hand, meaning my Cookie would be released (for one season

) as our proxy. Cookie may then be open (for a few beers) to serve another squad?
Hazza
Jul 1 2007, 9:48 pm
OK - let's just confirm 5 August for this
Okay. August 5th at 14:00 at the Arc? Are we going with the Flex again this year?
Oh Cookieeee... you know how much you like my dog and would love to proxy for me

how many beers would you like?
