This past month, 12 teams have taken the challenge to hold an all Bleacher Report league. The league consist of 12 writers, some of them big names and community leaders, others just lovers of the site and being a part of it all. I am here to chronicle the season.

Thanks to Yahoo! The league site will soon be made public as soon as the request goes through. From there on every member can log on and see the teams.

During this time, I will be giving my own fantasy advice. There will be season interviews with the managers and I hope to achieve a level of closeness with this league and the Bleacher Report fans. I would like to bring the fantasy game to a whole new level where you, the readers, can follow your favorite team.

To do this I have profiles for each of our teams and writers so readers can root for your favorite writers. In these weekly articles, I will have interviews, smack-talk of the week, pickups of the week, and interviews on major trades and the reasoning behind both teams.

Along with the interactive aspect, I hope this becomes an informative piece as well giving you tips and ideas to conquer your fantasy leagues.

Unfortunatly, Yahoo declined my request to make the league viewable by the public due to it not actually being a feature. I have emailed them again to try and lobby for it to be an option next year and hopefully it will work out, however for this first year you wil have to rely on the other managers and me to inform you of the league.

With that in mind, let me introduce you to the teams and writers that will be guiding you through the fantasy season.
