My vote for special consideration will be given to the potential owner who purchases the most crap from IconBuffet.

The Kraft as Croft —
Champions wear blue.
Pain, so good.

You know what everyone, don’t join. I’m going to take your $40 anyway. You’d be better off going to the movies, getting popcorn you normally don’t buy because it’s too expensive, and enjoying your two hours alone than getting dragged all over the field.

Oh, and if you join this league, then you should definitely try to draft Robert Mathis as soon as possible.

Right, so with Sean in the league we’re all supposed to cower from his daunting intellect and pasty noodle arms.

We will be drafting live, online, in a couple of weeks.

One would have thought you would have learned the simple lesson of how much crap that ESPN flash application is by now. In fact, I think that drafting app was the basis for Nielsen's Flash is 99% Bad article, even though Nielsen wrote that article some six friggin years prior to that draft application's existence.Can we please just do an email draft? I'd really prefer to prove how little I know about the game with a starting lineup that I at least picked myself.And spare me the traffic. I'd prefer to see you spend your precious time making sure stories like this one stop appearing as Top Seeds on Newsvine fer crissake.Also...in case anyone who is even thinking about joining the IKNFL, be sure to listen to this. It'll give you a taste of what you can expect.

Croftie is top dog
Fantasy football champion:
Makes Davidson cry.

Andrei bashes Flash
Drafting tool and Jakob Nielsen
Plus Newsvine’s Top Seeds.

IKNFL
Lets leaders in the field of web
Avoid doing work.

I don’t know football
Either, so count me out. I just
Can’t resist haikus!

I also know little of this sport which you call football.

The Champ stares me down
Stroking his chinny chin chin
Too bad I’ll pwn him

I work from home and I’m not too ashamed to say I mainline the NFL Network during the season. Bring it on!

OK, you asked for it. Let’s just keep in mind that you should let me in no matter what, because I’m, well, cool… and some of these aren’t about Croftie, but I had to post them anyway :)

#1
Mine is the best hai-
ku you’ll ever see about
Croft of Django

#2
Football and standards,
What a wonderful pairing;
Promise I won’t win…

#3
Didier played once;
Didn’t know football at all,
thought it was soccer.

#4
Jeff Croft loves football
just enough to bet on it;
He won’t win this year.

#5
Feel my haiku-fu,
Stronger than any other;
Croft: you’re going down this time.

#6
This haiku would be
prettier with sIFR but
comments don’t allow

#7
Jeff Croft won last year;
Davidson wasn’t happy.
This time, gloves are off.

Oh crap, #5 my count was off. Proofread, damnit!

#5 (revised)
Feel my haiku-fu,
Stronger than any other;
Croft: you’re going down.

And to make up for my faux-pas:

#8 (bonus)
Haiku is simple:
Five, seven, five is the way;
Guess I can’t count properly anymore…
