The People's Pigskin, Season Two

The fantasy football democracy experiment is back!

Yes, the People's Pigskin will try to improve on last season's fifth-place performance by renewing its effort to rule the gridiron with the help of you, the Internet. This year, we have formed a public league, the People's League, for the People's Pigskin and nine other teams. Here are the details.

Rules: We will use the standard ESPN rules, which you can peruse here.

Draft: A live draft is scheduled for Sunday, September 5, at 9 p.m. Eastern. Yes, you may have to turn your heads away from Jerry Lewis for a little while, but he'll still be there when we're finished.

Democracy: The People's Pigskin will determine its lineup and make other decisions on the basis of regular polls like the ones to the right of this post. (While you're here, feel free to vote on them.) Other teams will make decisions for themselves about their lineups, and they are free to use any method they see fit.

If you'd like to compete against the People's Pigskin and have your matchup featured in the weekly fearless predictions, join the People's League now. We'll be back with a look at this week's NASCAR track.
