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! Public league team just so that you have something to look at for the month before your draft...I figured I'd provide you with a quick glimpse of the new and improved Yahoo fantasy football draft room:

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.

We will make sure to post the final roster when the draft is complete, which should be today or early tomorrow I would guess.
