It's free and can have 12 teams. Once you register, pre-rank your players as they'll be an automatic draft. All I ask is to only sign up if you are committed to playing all season. Please don't quit midway through even if your team is doing poorly. Thanks and have fun!
I'm gonna need help!!

I like Football but that doesn't mean I completely understand it AND I've never done a Fantasy football league before...

If you're into this "I Love the 90s" stuff, then you should listen to the radio station on VH1 radio. It's awesome! Playing a really good mix of music. Some hard rock, some hip-hop, some alt-rock, some pure pop music...I love it! Listening to Where Is My Mind? from the album Surfer Rosa right now!!! (And if you know the band, then you're cool... if not, you should know them

)
I graduated high school in 95, so I got my entire high school and college years completed in the decade. It defined my life... so of course, I'm always going to be fondest of the 90s! I think I'm just so relieved I didn't have to go through my teenage years in the 80s!!!

I don't know how long the 90s have to be over before people feel VH1 should be qualified to do a retrospective on that decade. Instant nostalgia is pretty much the norm these days especially when it comes to the cable music channels. I mean eMpTVee had a show called Classic MTV before the 80s were even over and they only began broadcasting in 1981 so I don't think anyone should be surprised. As for the I Love The... series, I find them as addictive as anyone else but I have an extremely low tolerance for most of their idiotic commentators.
As for what someone had to say about the state of CMT, VH1 and MTV these days, it's strange to see how CMT has become so MTV-ized these days but I guess that shouldn't be surprising either, especially considering they're all owned by the same conglomerate. I think videos just don't fly any more for the most part unless they're packaged in their own show mainly because of ratings.

I agree with the commentators thing. The one that sticks out the most in my mind was one of the guys off the Bachelor for I Love the 90's. He's an idiot.
As for CMT, as soon as they were bought up by Viacom, you could see the changes. Some of their programs were even interchangable with VH1 (Driven comes to mind). MWL is a crappy ripoff of an already crappy show - TRL, and their summer programming "The Best Summer Ever" is very reminiscent of the title of the VH1 show "The Best Week Ever" I think one guy is doing all the programming for all three stations. And he should be fired.

But VH1 has the cool exotica ads now... (just teasing)
And I agree on the commentators- I have almost no idea who most of the people are or why some unemployed possibly formerly sucessful actor's opinion matters.

Yeah, the I Love.... series is solely responsible for keeping former Daily Show commentators employed.
