Some explanation: it started somewhere around 2002, the idea of taking Fantasy baseball or football teams to the next level- Fantasy Teams of any kind. Rules for your team depend on the individual, like whether or not you can have dead or fictional people on your team, but a major rule, is that if someone else has a team member you want, you can’t share. You have to trade players. Notice that Christopher Walken and Dolly Parton are not on my team? They were already taken. And I gave Donna Murphy to Scott a couple years ago, but I don’t remember if he traded someone in return.

In 2004, my team moved from the general sporting format to become a Board of Trustees. Your team can take whatever form you want. Kim’s is a TV show, and Niegel’s is based on ASB. I think Queen Latifah is his Sergeant at Arms.

My rule is that anyone dead is already on my universal team, and since it’s a fantasy team, no one I’ve actually worked with can be on the team, thus the Emeritus status for Bill and Meredith who had to resign from the board. What your team does is entirely up to you. My team obviously has regular board meetings where we discuss collaborative projects.

Any other teams out there?
