SpawnPoint

I was so excited for the (real) football season, only to have the Rams look like they have no idea how to put together a competent offense. So, I am jumping back on the hockey bandwagon and cheering on my Blues. Any other hockey fans out there?

My wife's rabbit needs $1,000.00 worth of surgery for an abcessed tooth. Salty Dwinx.

Homecoming 07 is almost upon us. A few of my friends are gonna meet up in Nashville to get a little crazy for the weekend. It is always a great deal for my wife and I because we live close enough to drive and I don't pay for gas on the company car and usually we stay with my sister in law. Sadly, a few more folks fail to make it each year because life gets busy. I can barely make a weekend now for us all to get together. I can't imagine how much harder it will be once people start having families and real careers and babies...

Yesterday, I woke up about 5:45 to hit the road to make customer calls. I drove around and talked until 12:30 or so when I stopped to get lunch. Imagine my dismay when I tried to bring up spawnpoint.com on my blackjack and could not navigate the site :(. I had to go another 5 hours before I could check out the forums!

All kidding aside, I am sure having a mobile version of this site is not on the radar, but does anyone have any tips for how I could get around the existing one? I was able to log in and all, but then the features, blogs, game buzz and such were stacked and I could not jump to the one I wanted.

I was amused yesterday...

In a fantasy football league with my little brother, a couple kids tried to pull of a trade that was beyond unfair- Maroney for Leinart. The trade gets vetoed and one of the kids starts flaming. He swears, threatens to quit and veto all future trades. 

I instinctively pressed my "=" (admin) button, only to be disappointed that I could not mute the offender. Even worse, yahoo does not have the kind of people in charge to swiftly boot the immature punk :/. Oh well...I'll just have to kick his butt on the "playing field" instead.

Anyone else have other "hmmmm....I'm not an admin in real life" moments?

It is almost that time of year again. I love fantasy sports and most of all football, although based on the response to my thread, I may be alone. 

Every year for the past 5 years, some of my college roommates have had a league with a few other guys we know. We put a little money on it and then obsess over it for the next 5 months. This weekend is our draft so I will drive up to Chicago. My wife is also friends with all of these guys, but she is debating passing simply because she knows it will be all football all of the time.

We have found it is a great way to keep in touch because us guys are very bad about going months and months without ever talking and then immediately reconnecting in September. Everyone should try it!

Right now I am in a baseball league with my 14 y/o brother. Sadly, we spend enough time talking about baseball and football that I think he may actually be better than I am >:(. I am sure as soon as he gets a job, he will try to get into my money league as well.
