Well who knew there could be so much drama in league sign-ups? I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats. Thank you to everyone for their patience; GWJFL Advanced is now underway.

Are you ready for some football?

Week 1, with a deadline of 12/4/2004, kicked off today and we open the season with some very interesting games.

Defending champion Grumpicus, now at the helm of the New York J-E-T-S faces a rematch of his GWJFL round 1 playoff game against SpyNavy. With the Sneaky Seaman now in charge of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it could be a real slugfest.

See you on the gridiron, Spy.

I can''t seem to log onto ESPN VIDEOGAMES. I can get onto live and play games but can''t access stuff like leagues and such. Is anyone else having similar difficulties?

Looks like it''ll be hard to start the season off with any amount of optimism. My Eagles will be diving right into the deep end when they take on JMJ''s Broncos. Here''s hoping for a close one.

SpyNavy, that''s going to be a challenge indeed. That''s between 4pm and 6pm for me... and I''m headed out of town on Thursday afternoon. I can be a touch late for work in the morning (just don''t tell them it''s because I was playing video football). What time do you get off work/sleep when you''re on this schedule?

I am usually home by 730am EST... Will you be home on Saturday or Sunday? We could play early afternoon on one of those days - i work 6pm to 6am on Sat and Sun So i could play sometime between 2-3pm for a kickoff as long as I am done by 415pm or so....

And do you stay up for a while or go straight to bed?

When I leave on Thursday, I won''t be back until Monday evening so a morning game may be our only hope. If there''s no way that is happening, I can come into the office earlier (my ""normal"" hours are 9-6) so I can get home in time for a 6pm CST kickoff. As a matter of fact, when I think about it, that may be preferred. What''s best for you?

I''d like to try to schedule a game for tomorrow so we have Wednesday as a backup in case something happens.

Edit: It just occurred to me that my being out of town this weekend will mean that I won''t be able to advance the league since that has to be done from the XBox (instead of the website). So we all get a little extra time to get back in the swing of things as the league can''t/won''t be advanced until Monday evening (between 8 and 10 pm CST). Sorry for the unexpected delay.

I usually stay up for a bit - let me know what is best for you - I can play the afetrnoon times I listed or play when I get home. Either way - just let me know. Also we can play Monday evening if you want because I will be off all day...

Well if I make it into work ""early"", I''ll post during the day and we can aim for a 5:45 +/- kickoff. If that doesn''t happen, we''ll have to go with the Monday evening solution.

Highlander and I just played THE MOST holy sh*t pull your hair out and cry for your mommy game of football EVER PLAYED EVER. Highlander is a first rate competitor and I''m glad he''s in the league. Son of a bitch.

Steelers over Giants. There is no joy in Mudville.

That was a great game Sanjuro. Nailbiter to the end.

It should have gone to overtime. But alas, the luck of the Irish shines on the Steel City.

WAY fun game.

Ok. As promised, I''ve opened up the league to allow anyone to post news (except top story), polls and links. If you want top story rights, just ask.

Spy, I was thinking maybe tomorrow (no wait, today) but I doubt that''s going to happen now so let''s shoot for Wednesday. I''m going to bed.
