OK, Bill Simmons from ESPN - yes that Bill Simmons - wants into our event. That puts us at 4 so obviously we have a lot of work to do but if you want to compete against The Sports Guy this is your chance so let's see if we can get 8 more signups today and we'll fill up a fourth league. If you're interested, please let me know today. You can e-mail me ([email protected]) or post here. If you post in this thread please make sure you provide your full name so I know who I'm dealing with.

Thanks and let's get a fourth league going guys.

Tom, as per our conversation earlier today, if you need to get this going I have a family member who is interested. Put it down as "King of Queens" for now, and if this should materialize, I'll get you the official entrant name.

Thanks again.

I almost jumped at the chance to play a person I enjoy reading (Bill Simmons)...but when I calculated the EST to PST (2PM)...it would be cutting into 5 NFL games!!! (that would be a test of my attention span)

I still could...but geez that would be hard.

Great writing Bill!

Lot of time between those picks, Lance.

Greg,
I'm in for the $250 league if you are going to do it.

Thanks,
Chris Goudey

Chris, there is someone running a league with a $300 fee--send a message via email to commish@ultimatefantasysports. It's on the up and up.
