There’s only one sport I really watch, and that’s professional football*. There’s less than two months until training camps open.

Nothing beats wiling away a Sunday afternoon (and evening) with some good beer and some good football. Toss in some bratwursts or some chili and it’s downright nigh perfection.

A few years ago I’d played fantasy football for a few years. It was fun, but I stopped because I was so busy with wife, kids, work, a blog, and all. When a message from NFL.com dropped in my inbox, however, I decided to give it another whirl.

To make it more interesting, I decided to create a private league exclusively for Hop Talk readers. Are you interested in joining us? There are twelve teams in a league, so the first ten people to send me an e-mail message to al [at] hop-talk [dot] com will get the password to join.

Smack talking is, of course, encouraged.

* American football, specifically the NFL, for you folks outside the U.S.
