Of course, looks would be a major part of my picks, because hockey boys are the best looking!

I would never even THINK about asking the boys if I could join their league. I will never be to the caliber of you men with your research, but I think I will enjoy the games more by studying and researching. Well I’ll give you that.

A lot of women I know like watching sports, but the thought of researching depth charts, promising rookies, sleepers, busts, knowing which running back lost a key member of his offensive line, etc is not something most women I know are interested in. However, there are DEFINITELY women out there who are. Hell, there's a woman in our sports department who puts my sports knowledge to shame and could readily whip my ass in most fantasy leagues. I think it's really cool that you set up the league. And honestly, I think my group of friends treats our FF league like the Masters (boys only) because it's one of the few times a year we can all get together just ourselves. That's got a lot to do with it. Teresa,

HOWEVER. I do enjoy watching games and really get into it. I am not a sports genius. But I guess I feel like you don't have to be to have a good time with it. That must be the difference between the way I see it and the way you see it. You must take it a lot more seriously than I do. In any case, I don't expect you to change your opinion. But I do want to point out that your post actually is saying women don't understand the DRAW and the actual concept of it. Which clearly, many women do, since I had to turn 5 women away from my chicks only team.

Last year I won a mixed league and my hubby was kinda bent so I'm banned from any leagues that include people he may know. :) Not sure if people really get that our $40-$60 buy in pays for the winnings, online fees, draft board and keg. And we're just chicks! Can we recruit MJ to be on our league from a virtual/conference call? Otherwise we'll insta-draft her. The loser of our league has to cook or foot the bill for the food for the following year! Please ask MJ if she's interested and we'll totally get her in our league! Aaron,
