Hello Sweet Sugars!

If you haven't noticed or logged into the league's homepage recently - we have a full league!!! I'm loving all of your team names!

I hope you guys also realize that our draft is exactly 2 WEEKS away! Our draft is now scheduled for Sun Aug 17 7:00pm CDT. If you know now that you will not be able to be at the draft, please make sure that your draft rankings are to your liking. You can use the default draft order or customize it to your own preferences. If you have any questions on how to do this, let us know. I'm sure the fantasy vets are willing to give advice.

With two weeks to go, now is the time to do your research, pay attention to training camp stories, watch pre-season games, watch Sportscenter, watch NFL Network, etc. Besamemucho was awesome enough to post some pre-draft research pointers here:

I will say though that you don't have to do all this research stuff or be a hardcore football junkie to be successful at FF. Even if you do all the research and get all the stud players on your team before the season starts, your team can still majorly suck because players get hurt and other things can happen. A lot of your success depends on how you manage your team during the season - like making good trades, starting the right people, etc.

Remember, it's all about having some friendly competition and most of all - HAVING FUN!

I know we all want to keep info that will give us an edge to ourselves but please feel free to create posts if you have any tidbits or news stories you want to share. For example, what the heck is gonna happen with Brett Favre? How crazy would it be if my Chicago Bears somehow got him?! OMG, that would be tiiiiight!
