Hmmm… are MLS Bloggers truly FRAIDY CATS??? Why haven’t YOU Joined the MFLS Bloggoff??? PLUS a list of FAMOUS CONTESTANTS & THEIR COMMENTS

Last month, Nutmegged sent out invitations to join our 1st Major Fantasy League Soccer Bloggoff. Within a week, we got two confirmations and one, “I don’t really do this sort of thing”. Another week past and we got another yea.

So, I guess the question is WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU? ALL YOU NEED IS TO LEAVE YOUR BLOG NAME AND CONTACT INFO BELOW. WE’LL THEN SEND YOU SIGN UP DETAILS. OR YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND REGISTER @ MFLS.COM AND I’LL SEND YOU THE JOIN DIVISION PASSWORD. IT’S THAT SIMPLE.

To date, we have:

CONFIRMED and read these famous people’s words!

Center Holds It- Jeff Bull wrote: “OK, I finally stopped being lame. Center Holds It has a team and it is cheap. Yesss....”
Look out for this guy. His devil may care attitude brings to mind Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke or the Hustler. Inside info sez this guy was the co-champ of another prediction league bloggoff. He also has that Harry Palmer type charm.

DCenters wrote-“While I am horrible about doing this sort of thing, I am in for it.”
Hmmm… if this were playing poker or pool, this would mean this guy is gonna give us a major ass whoppin’. As in I’ve played a little bit before… some. Watch this guy.

La Galaxy The Offside- “Crap. I forgot to get back to you, didn't I? This does sound like fun. Only probably is I'll be traveling without a computer for most of this month. How much will this affect me?”
Not at all, Laurie. At our age, we’re elated to have a girl even talking to us. But I have to ask, especially in this internet age, you ARE a girl, aren’t you? Still, you haven't joined our division yet, so we are still girl less.

Soccer Tickets Online- “STO (soccerticketsonline.com) will play, no need to goad us. since we are only a few months or so old, we may not have Goff's following, but we have plenty of chutzpah (we think, we don't speak hebrew though so we could be clean out of the stuff for all we know).”
Shite, another guy who seems really smart. And who, likes the rest here, writes really insightful posts. Yikes, will Nutmegged get whomped this season?

Nutmegged- mr3d insinuated, “don’t look at me, it’s the other guys…” (points to indicate Martek and playtherapy).
Martek will handle Predictions and playtherapy will do the fantasy league. Though playtherapy won both his fantasy divisions in MFLS and Fox Sports Ligas and came in 2nd in the prediction league, that says little as the pack thins out in the final months- you’re only competing against two or three people.
BTW- playtherapy sometimes likes to play RPG’s and Martek is a Trekkie- does this mean we’ll have penalty points deducted before the season begins?

DECLINED
Steve Goff’s of the Washington Post friendly reply in mr3d’s ee cummingesque style: “thanks for the offer, but i don't usually play the fantasy leagues. best of luck!”
We’re all cool with this and sincere thanks for the response (we’re happy just to have a reply), just please don’t pull an Eliot Spitzer on us, okay? In other words, after asking you to the prom and you saying it’s against your ethos, just don’t show up with anyone else.

Mars Needs Women- Just Like the Blogger MFLS Championship (MLS Fantasy League) Needs Bloggers!

Like Dora the Explorer, we need your help. Whether you are a MLS fan wanting to see how the ‘writing/talking heads’ fare in a fantasy league against each other, MLS blogger, or a foreign blogger who wants to play an MLS fantasy game against other bloggers, you can aid in helping recruit soccer bloggers to participate in our Blogger MFLS Championship. How can you help, you ask? Admit it, if you’ve read this far, you ARE intrigued…

First, if any of your fave bloggers are on this list, you can goad, prod, bug, torture them into participation. Find out their home address- then stalk them relentlessly until they sign up. If your fave blogger is not on the invite list, you can tell me who and how to contact on the below comments section. Then proceed to the stalking section.

If you are a footy blogger who is not on the list, leave your contact info below and list your blog site. You also must have written a blog within the past month on your site.

Finally, if you or your site is on this list, you should have received sign up email. If you did not receive this email or did not respond (cue the angry villagers with torches), please comment below. We are still seeking emails for some of the bloggers on this list.

Blogger MFLS Invitational Championship: Is Your Fave Blogger Playing?

The three amigos at Nutmegged are hosting the 1st Annual Major League Fantasy Soccer Bloggoff using Mark Wheeler's MFLS game site. MFLS is the original soccer fantasy league on the web, now in its 13th season. It is free to play, but contributions help to keep it online.

This competition will be comprised of a fantasy league and a prediction league. Bragging rights for the whole kit and kaboodle will mean having the most points combined from both competitions. Each blog can only have one team- though decisions can be made by a collective (as we will do).

Inclusion presently is by invitation only. These were selected through recommendations from our many friends and contacts- ranging from professional to amateur bloggers. Not all of our invites will respond or accept- so if you want to join, please email us with your contact name and the name of your blog. Your blog must be active with posts within the past month.

Scroll down to see if your favorite blog or blogger was invited. We are also seeking help locating the emails of some of the below bloggers.

We will be updating you about League Results, strategies, and speculation about who's hot and who's not. We will also shamelessly post some of our picks- both players and game predictions.

If your favorite blogger is one of the above who has not responded- tease/goad/ challenge her/him/shim! Make it about their womanhood/manhood/otherhood! Then once they do play, check our site regularly. After all, we Pro or Am Bloggers are pompous enough to publish our opinions on the net- how well will we do when going head to head?

If you feel a blog needs to be invited, email us and tell us who and why.

If you do not write for a blog but would like to compare your points against any of us, sign up for MFLS today.

Shameless MFLS Plug: Best MLS Fantasy Game Around

He's the only other person at the office who even knows when you're talking about MLS, you're not talking about real estate. Anytime you tell him about the new deal for that South American World Cup veteran your team just cemented, he lets you know he knew about it three days ago. He has a beautiful girlfriend whom he refers to as "Stupid." The Company promoted him over you due to Eddie Haskell mannerisms.

You can defeat this enemy of all things good without poisoning his pets! Challenge him and other axises of evil to an MFLS faceoff.

Yes, Major League Fantasy Soccer (MFLS), the oldest online fantasy soccer league, comprised of fantasy teams and a prediction league. Pick your team, get your favorite enemies to sign up, then use every underhanded tactic you or others can think of (planting false rumors, such as Joe Cronin leading the League in Goals Against Average or Fernando Clavijo being Coach of the Year). If he's stupid enough to believe it, call it Soccer Darwinism and bury him.

Deep.

Call it a humanitarian act.

MFLS.

Check it out.
