@achewood I got mad about Robert Fripp's "music" again. I need to go to bed.

Yeah, Falls, what gives? I thought your new team was going to come from a 100% roster overhaul or something. But a new team name? I hope you at least have a new hypothetical logo and uniforms.

There used to be a website out there that featured hypothetical jerseys, etc. for everything from baseball to Aussie Rules Football - a place for people who thought they could do better than what was out there to show off. Wish I could find it.

My team overhaul was going to happen completely but then... Upton and Kotchman got hurt and...

I had to end it partway through until I have those dudes back. I did make a shitload of moves recently, though.

So I changed my team's name to a different obscure late-career Mark Twain title and decided I'd pick it up later.

When those guys are back, I'm gonna make the three or four finishing moves to the overhaul if I still can.

The Cubs just traded my backup catcher to the Padres. He goes from an awesome park to hit in to a park where home runs go to die.

Thanks, Cubs. I hope you don't win a world series for another 100 years.

The injury level on my team has gone up from an orange or "fuck*ng ridiculous" level to the highest level... the red or "Mets-like" level of injury density.

BJ Upton's on the DL officially, Kotchman is still seeing birds from a concussion a week ago, Mourneau is coughing up blood in a hospital with the really encouraging sounding "bruised lung"... Ordonez is day-to-day with a hit-pitch on the hand and... Lackey's next start has been pushed later.

Well, considering how fucked up your team is, there's no better time than now to start making plans for our football league. Who wants to be the commish? Yahoo is letting people sign up now, but I'd only fuck it up through some sort of money laundering scandal. Maybe we can plan this one a little more and have a real draft?

I would really enjoy being the commish (as I mentioned earlier). I would really like to have a live draft, if we can get it together and set it up for a time when I am home from work. I'd like to have it as late as possible (probably one of the last weeks of preseason) so no one drafts anyone who ends up stabbing a couple of folks in a parking lot, and also so everyone knows a bit more about the various teams' draft choices. I've played Yahoo fantasy football for the past few years in several leagues, so I've got a certain amount of experience with it. I'd appreciate a vote of confidence on this, and if it's cool, I will begin setting things up (leaving the draft date until later).

Sounds good to me.   I abstained from commenting publicly earlier, in light of this being the pretend baseball thread, but since others have since broken the seal...

I kinda didn't want to make a pretend football thread - especially since it will probably basically be the same folks.
