Yahoo! Draft Room preview

In case you're not one of those fantasy football addicts that can't wait until your real league's drafts to have a fantasy team in front of you...those who, like myself, annually sign up for a Yahoo!

Quick tip: Firefox + Hyperwords

In case you aren't a Firefox user yet, here's a great reason to become one: The fantastic (and fantastically simple) add-on called Hyperwords. Hyperwords allows you to select any word, name, or phrase on any page on the Web and immediately plug it into an online resource of your choice. Select an address and send it to Google Maps.

Currently Matt is drafting a team for a league set up by JunkyardJake.com called "Fantasy Website Drunken Pirate Slapfight Expert League". At this point our team is looking pretty solid, with the likes of Ricky Williams and Brett Favre leading the way (no joke!), so we plan to compete with the best in that league (we also have Joseph Addai, Maurice Jones-Drew and Braylon Edwards, in case you were wondering/worried - actually, this site allows anyone to see the teams without logging in, so check out our team here). We will make sure to post the final roster when the draft is complete, which should be today or early tomorrow I would guess.
