Who here wants to chat with Greg and I this afternoon? We'll be here starting at 3 p.m. EST ready to provide the answers to all of your questions. Between the two of us we should be able to do that, right?

So be here at 3 and let's have some chat fun.

Posted early.. might not be around for the chat..

I bought the online 3 pack……….

1. If most of my teams are to draft in Mid to late Aug, can I change one of my teams to draft early Aug to fill up a league?

2. 1 of the 3 teams in my 3-pack I am co-owning… Do I need to let you know which team this is for any reason? Payouts? Future owner stats/record? Etc….

Yes, just email Tom or me and we'll easily change any of your draft dates for the online championship. We need four more owners for the Aug. 8th OC, so someone jump in there and let's fill up that second league!!!

No worries on co-owners. For the draft, I think you can just share your log-in for both of you to get in the draft room. Then after your league is loaded, there will be a link that asks you if you want to invite a co-owner. That's where you can add him to running the team and you'll be good to go. That will be the case for all NFFC teams.

Sound good?

I moved this to 3 ET since we're just wrapping up a meeting. We'll probably be online sooner, but didn't want to leave everyone waiting. Post some questions and we'll have a fun one-hour Chat and see where it takes us. Let's talk football.

Okay, before SNAKE steals our thunder, Tom and I will jump into this live chat thread and open the forum for questions. Since Tom just discovered the Poll function on these boards, you can even poll Tom and I about our opinions on any subject. Let the Live Chat begin, if you're out there.

I'll start out with the Big Mike photo controversy. As Mike knows, we are awed by the Ugly Tomatoes' dominance in the DC format. They seem to win whether they are Yellow Ugly Tomatoes, Green, Red, whatever color. Now I trust they will do well under Brutally Ugly Tomatoes.

Now I'm not sure why we didn't picture you in the Fantasy Sports Magazine, Big Mike. We get a lot of league champ photos and Tom and I used to select each one. We didn't have that ability for this issue, but we should have found a way to get you and Darryl in the issue. I've asked Tom to relocate that photo and see how ugly you and Darryl look and if it doesn't break the mirror we'll find a spot on that Hall of Fame link I'm going to put text in soon. You guys have one foot in the door already, so let's show folks what Hall of Famers look like!!

Sound good?

And your idea to show past history for the top owners and number of wins in number of leagues is a great one. Once we get all of our past data back in this system, we can start doing that. The transfer of six years of data has been the biggest pain of the change from STATS to Fanball.

i like the poll option. it will be cool to see peoples opinions without them being drowned out.

what are your guys thoughts on the skins wide receivers. they have underperformed thus far but do you see a major turn around?

Did anyone read last week's issue of Sports Illustrated with Miles Austin on the cover? The story they had on Floyd Little and the fan who pushed for his Hall of Fame entry was FANTASTIC. Pick it up if you can. Gary Smith is one of the best writers SI has and that was really a moving piece. Really cool story and good ending.

A few topics of interest today:

No suspension coming for Cedric Benson. I think that cements his status as a lower end RB1.

Brandon Marshall and Ronnie Brown both healthy and ready for the start of camp. Could Brown be a RB2 sleeper until the inevitable injury?

Joey Galloway being called the Redskins' No. 1 WR according to Mike Shanahan. Let's see where he ranks tomorrow.

I don't think he'll change at this point. Thomas and Kelly have been major busts. See my post above about Joey Galloway. That's how bad things are in Washington.

I do love Chris Cooley a lot and I think McNabb will target him plenty. I'd consider Moss as a lower end WR3 but I wouldn't expect much consistency from him.
