I was just checking out my other leagues on Yahoo and guess what time it is....

OK, you're on the clock ... 0:59 ... 0:58 ... 0:57 ... - Roto Arcade - Fantasy - Yahoo! Sports

Looks like they've made some improvements for this year.

Some of these tools, like percent-owned and started information, are strategically useful; other tools, like our smack-talk enhancements, are designed to escalate hostilities in your league to the brink of violent conflict.

The draft room experience has also been improved. One of the bullets underneath "New Live Draft App" on the game's propaganda page says, "Don't miss a turn with our new audio alerts."

Oh yeah baby!

Well, the season doesn't actually start for several more months, but the time to start thinking about football is upon us. You can already create a league in Yahoo.

What? You mean you guys haven't already started compiling your draft cheatsheets?

I guess thats what it takes to win one of these leagues. I'll be back to defend my title, with Brady or not.

Football season is almost here and I didn't even realize it. I guess it is time to start thinking about it...

Darth, I believe your signature may be offensive to both Jammer and Roscoe. You see, Eskimo usually only refers to the indigenous people of Alaska or Siberia, whereas those from arctic Canada and Greenland should be referred to as Inuits.
And Roscoe should just be referred to as Camericanian.

Oh, and yeah, does anyone want to play fantasy CFL? The season starts soon.

This is sooooo funny, but only to you and Canadians.

CFL is to NFL what Rules is to League.

I've got an early suggestion for the league this season. Will we be scoring points for return punts/kicks again? Personally I feel this stat should be removed because it makes guys who would normally have no value become borderline starters. I'll throw some stats your way to make my point.

Nate Burleson finished 10th among WR with only 694 receiving yards and 9 TD's. His 1200+ return yards gave him more points than guys who had over 1000 yards and 12 TD's. Higher than guys like Plax Burress, Greg Jennings and Torry Holt. That's not really right.

Devin Hester finished 21st among WR despite only 299 receiving yards and 2 TD's.

Leon Washington finished 20th among RB with only 353 rushing yards and 3 TD's.
Jerious Norwood scored only 1 TD but finished ahead of guys with over 1000 yards or 6 TD's because of his 1300+ return yards.

And finally, Josh Cribbs, purely a PR/KR finished 36th (which is easily draftable) among WR with only a paltry 37 receiving yards and 0 TD's!! He scored more fantasy points than Lee Evans, Roy Williams, Calvin Johnson, Reggie Brown, Laveranues Coles, etc. His 2214 return yards and 3 return TD's made that possible. Again, I don't believe rewarding these types of players is very common in most leagues and I would like to put forward a motion to remove this stat from the upcoming season. It may only be a small thing but I believe it would be beneficial.

Any other thoughts? Agree/Disagree?
