Think you got what it takes to beat up a nerd? Think again. Here's your chance to play against me.
Each year I take on two dozen users to see who's the best. The top 3 finishers in each league will get free FFN premium memberships next year. As expected, I generally do pretty well, but last year I saw some difficulties (curse you Doug Martin, Ray Rice, and Julio Jones!!!). That'll change. This year I plan on showing you why I am the official fantasy football nerd...and you're not.
If you think you're up for the challenge, don't mind getting humiliated, and want to play in one of these leagues, sign up below. It's free to play, but you'll need an FFN account to claim a spot. You don't have to be a premium member of FFN, although premium members will be given priority (I have to - they pay the bills).
League settings are PPR with bonus points for 100 yards receiving, 100 yard rushing, or 300 yards passing.
Once we have enough people signed up, we'll use the free Draft Date Picker to figure out our draft date.
So what have you got to lose...other than your dignity? Step right up and get ready to be owned. I look forward to beating you...
UPDATE: It turns out that a lot of people want to beat the Nerd. Sign ups are now in a wait-list mode.

It's got nothing to do with luck my friend...
It's all about skill, preparedness, and a superior intellect....and...OK...maybe a bit of luck.

I've finished second twice and look forward to this being my championship year!

@Chipfan32 - good, then it shouldn't bother you too much when you lose. LOL
@RamRob - isn't second place the first loser? Hmmmm....

It is time for a new challenge. Happy to be of service (tips hat). ;-)

Fantasy football is a binary game. You're either a one or a zero. Come December, I'll be the only 1 standing...

@Nerd - Second place is first loser, huh? Haha...possibly! But riddle me this-- what do you call a team that doesn't even reach the playoffs? The Fantasy Football Nerd?

Also, in case you forgot...some guy sent you home packing early in 2011:

Fortunately, I have a short memory...that really helps in these situations. LOL
