Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

Oh my GOD!!!

Not only might I actually be present for the draft, I won't have any distractions, as my wife and kids will be away both those weekends!

Although the 29th works better for me.

All the teams should name themselves after the division they're in.

Do I have to get ES's attorney?

I had thought of changing my team name to the Evil Squirrels this year due to ES's consuming of my Bored identity, but I have been the Merry Men for 7 years and I don't like messing with tradition....

Since when does the owner dress up with the team? :P

Speaking of "draft," is this for real, or a doctored image? I vote for doctored, because if not, then it REALLY has gone too far....

The league size is 16 teams (By general consensus. We had 18 teams in 2003, and that was believed to spread the player pool a bit too thin), and thus far 12 of the 16 teams have committed for next season. The other 4 have not bothered to vote in the poll yet probably because they haven't checked in over there yet. For the record, the last time a team backed out was after the 2005 season (Or, in reality, it was during the 2005 season), so the league has been quite stable the last few years after lots of upheaval early on....

Of course, if there does end up being an opening, you'll have to fight Clem for it.....
