Caveat Emptor

I don't want to diss any of Greg's "partners" but players should be aware of a few things.

o Although the game is really inexpensive, free agent adds and weekly "start/bench" moves will cost a buck each (they say .$50 a player, but of course they are always paired). Thus the actual total cost will be higher by $3 or $4 a week for a total that could easiliy go to $50 to $75.

o There are no league prizes other than a plaque. I'm sure we'd all be proud of that plaque.

o There is only ONE overall prize. Not 1 per 100 entries but 1 total. That makes the pot odds something that even Dyv would have a problem with.

o Trading is allowed so collusion might be an issue (although trades can be flagged for review).

o Free agents are worst record gets first crack so your hard work in week 1 goes down the tubes as the Boldin of 2004 gets picked up by the worst team.

o The scoring system is bizarre so you need to spend a lot of time preparing.

As a fun side thing, like for the Gekko Invitational, it had some initial merit but as I read more I became less interested.
