Sick of your first round pick putting up next to nothing? Does your QB score more off the field than on it? I may have the solution for you. BizarroMFFL, where the object is to score the fewest points. Players scoring zero would be subjected to a point penalty, so you would have to start actual players, not announcers, but other than that you're looking for low points.

I don't care... well, I do care who you vote for, but more important than that I care that you cast a ballot for anyone. My biggest hope for the next four years is to bridge the divide between people of different ideologies, so that we can disagree on how to approach our nation's problems without resorting to aspersions on each others character. Calling someone a traitor, or a terrorist, or any other inflammatory label over political differences needlessly keeps wounds open, and diminishes the meaning of those terms for those who actually deserve them. http://www.mffl.net/community/2008/11/please_vote.php http://www.mffl.net/community/2008/11/please_vote.php General Sat, 01 Nov 2008 03:43:27 -0500 Way, way, way too much information Once Damon went down, Tyler's package expanded.]]> http://www.mffl.net/community/2008/09/way_way_way_too_much_informati_1.php http://www.mffl.net/community/2008/09/way_way_way_too_much_informati_1.php Humor Mon, 29 Sep 2008 14:41:46 -0500 I'm not alone... From Espn.com re: Ronnie Brown: "The point is, don't feel bad if you're in that group of just about everyone -- 84 percent of Brown's ESPN standard league owners -- who had him on their bench Sunday. I did, too. Really, in a way you had to be a bit desperate to activate him, maybe dealing with injuries or game-time decisions or those other strugglers. Brown is owned in 96 percent of leagues, but was active in only 16 percent. Rather than blame yourself for a foolish decision, call it one of those things impossible to predict." Yeah, that makes me feel better. NOT. http://www.mffl.net/community/2008/09/im_not_alone.php http://www.mffl.net/community/2008/09/im_not_alone.php Tue, 23 Sep 2008 07:26:43 -0500 It's true song chart memes

FOXBOROUGH, MA -- More than 90 percent of female football fans were lost for the season on Sunday when New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady suffered a left knee injury that will require extensive treatment. The Patriots announced Monday that Brady, the 2007 NFL Most Valuable Player and arguably the NFL's most handsome man, will be placed on injured reserve, where despite being no less attractive than before his injury, he will only be partially visible for the rest of the 2008-2009 season.

Timely responses There's nothing that will kill a deal faster than to have it offered and sit there. And sit there. And sit there. Did the recipient see it? Did they hate it? Are they waiting to do research? I have no idea, but until they respond I'm stuck here waiting. Don't like the deal, but might want to do something in the future? Respond quickly. A private message saying why would also be nice. Now, I can hear some of you thinking, "Ah, I'll leave offers hanging out there to inhibit trades with other teams." This may help you in the short term (or not), but long term it discourages trade offers. 2. Counter offers I always try to make my first offer reasonable (see below, Things that kill deals), but it shouldn't always be taken as the end of negotiations. I'm often, though not always, willing to spice up a deal in some way. 3. Past trust Making a good deal (for both sides) means I'm likely to come to you first in the future. Things that kill deals: 1. Lopsided offers Don't offer me two scrubs for Tomlinson, and I won't offer you an announcer for Brady. All that does is lead to distrust of later offers. 2. Lack of communication I offered you a package, and you rejected it. Was it because you hated the deal and would never part with the players involved? Did you not like the player I offered, but with a different configuration you might accept a trade? Did your ex-girlfriend steal your MFFL login and reject a good trade out of spite? I have no way of knowing since you never went beyond clicking reject. Let me know so I can make you another offer (or make it yourself) or move on to another team.]]> http://www.mffl.net/community/2008/09/on_trades.php http://www.mffl.net/community/2008/09/on_trades.php General Mon, 08 Sep 2008 01:29:54 -0500 Hanging Chad http://www.mffl.net/community/2008/09/hanging_chad.php http://www.mffl.net/community/2008/09/hanging_chad.php Humor Thu, 04 Sep 2008 18:38:41 -0500 Not related to football, but for the iphone users out there...

With fantasy football right around the corner, we wondered what it would be like if you had to draft your Lord and Savior the same way you drafted your fantasy football team. Can Buddha lead your soul to victory, or is he better suited as your flex player? Our in-depth analysis provides you with all the answers you need.
