Anyone else in on this?

We did do an XFL league, and there's a very good WWE league on these boards. But I think this is more gimmick than game. I'd rather play LRV.

Yes.
And I'm sure there is a government conspiracy keeping your fantasy talent from rising...

Are you putting in a team, sarge? Looks like we have about 10 managers already.

I wasn't able to do anything using MSIE, but I just tried Firefox and it worked flawlessly.
Checked results, set lineup, etc.

Each and every time I tried to login I wasn't able to, including Saturday night & early Sunday. It wasn't for lack of trying!

For those of you who gave up during the regular season ... a chance for playoff redemption:
Go to The Onion's Sports page. Click "Shattered Expectations" on the upper-right side.
Playoff lineups lock Friday at 11:00 EST.

I quit the regular season because 2 weeks in a row my lineup was not credited with any points, even though I set it each week. And of course, they had no record of me setting it.

After the most recent premature lock (Week 14), "Admin" posted a message to send rosters via e-mail if the problem resurfaced. E-mail: tech@theonion.com with "Website Inquiry (Shattered Expectations)" in the subject line. Including your team's name and the RotoGuru.com group ID, 1000334, in the body of the message would be helpful.
