Fantasy Football Reminder<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

The live online draft for our own fantasy football league, <\/font>Lefty Blog Friends<\/a><\/font>, is tomorrow on Saturday, September 2, at 10 AM PDT (11 AM MDT, 12 Noon CDT, 1 PM EDT).  I strongly recommend that players log into the league and participate in a mock draft between now and then.  If you cannot attend, the league will draft for you.  See you tomorrow!<\/font><\/p>\n
