All right, intrepid readers. It’s nearly August and we know what that means: time for fantasy football. I’ve set up a private league at Yahoo and you’re all invited to join and play. I’d love to get 10 or 12 teams signed up so it’ll be fairly competitive. If you’ve never done a Yahoo league, it’s extremely easy and, best of all, free. Just click here and click on “Registration” underneath Chad Johnson’s picture. At the next page, click on “Join A League” under Football ’07 (not Football Plus). The league ID# is 269411 and the password is jbybee. Sign up and prepared to be kujoed by my team, The Rabid Fleabags.

If fantasy sports ain’t your forte, then I’ve also set up two Pick ‘Em leagues, one for pro football and one for college. Each week you make your picks for each pro game and the top 25 NCAA games. No managing rosters, no making trades, no trying to cover the spread. Just straight up pick ’em. If you’re interested, just follow the same link and click on Pro Football and / or College Football Pick ‘Em. The group ID# for Pro Football is 5075; for College it’s 3248. The password for each is jbybee.

Sign up if you’re interested. Should be a lot of fun!
