My fantasy football off-season has officially ended. Today begins a six-month venture into the pro football realm (essentially my hobby for the fall months). This is my third year playing, which, for a football player, is his breakout year, so I'm anticipating a crazy seventeen weeks this fall.

I spent the entire day today preparing myself for the coming season--reading up on NFL player and team news, checking fantasy stats from last year and projections for this year, and getting ready for the draft(s) that will be happening within the next month. My brain feels somewhat swollen from the crazy amounts of info I've put in it just today.

So...anyone interested in playing? I'm hoping to join or even start a league here in Iowa.
