A: Simply put, it's a whole lotta fun. It brings watching NFL football to a whole new level. Instead of just casually watching a game, you're actually competing. You have a stake in almost every game, putting you on pins-and-needles. And it can get very, very exciting (or very frustrating).

If you want to simulate what it's like to play Fantasy Football, pick a game at random and put a couple bucks down on one of the teams, then watch the game. You'll notice you watch more intently, you get more animated, your heart beats faster, the adrenaline pumps harder, etc. Whether you eventually win or lose your bet, you had a much more exciting time watching the game than you would have had otherwise.

Ever see the movie "Tin Cup?" Remember the scene where Kevin Costner explains that hitting the perfect golf shot is like "a tuning fork going off in your heart?" That's Fantasy Football. When you own LaDanian Tomlinson and you watch him run it in from seven yards out, that tuning fork goes off in your heart.

Q: What's so special about "Obsessed With Sundays" that makes it the "world's greatest?"

A: It's tough to measure what the "world's greatest fantasy football league" really is. Lots of league across the country can lay claim to the title. We believe our league is great because we are all very passionate about Fantasy Football, things run very smoothly, and we have a lot of fun. Every year we have 12 owners who all take this very seriously, yet at the same time never forget this is supposed to be enjoyable. Everyone pays their dues on time, everyone shows up for the draft, and everyone actively manages their team. Whether it's actually the world's best is up for debate, but it is a really great league to play in.

Q: Aren't you worried that playing Fantasy Football makes you only care about statistics and not who wins or loses the game?

A: Absolutely not. We still care who wins or loses in the NFL. If we only cared about stats, we wouldn't bother to watch the playoffs. But we're right there in front of our TV or at the bar, intently watching playoffs games even though Fantasy Football season is over. So yes, we still care about who wins and loses the game.

Q: Aren't you worried that playing Fantasy Football makes you only care only about your Fantasy team and makes you stop caring about your favorite NFL team?

A: Again, no. There are probably lots of Fantasy Football players who have this problem, and we agree it can happen. But that doesn't happen to us. If you play long enough you learn ways to not let your passion for Fantasy Football water down your passion for your NFL team.

Q: What happens when one of your Fantasy players scores against your favorite team?

A: Remember that "Best Buy" commercial where the guy's celebrating his team getting scored on because the scorer was on his fantasy team? It gives you mixed feelings to see one of your Fantasy players score on your favorite team, but again, after playing long enough you learn how to deal with it. Try to look at it as the silver lining on a cloud: you're upset your team got scored on, but at least it was your Fantasy player that scored on them.

Q: What provider do you use?

A: Currently we use Yahoo as our provider. They're pretty good, and we will probably continue to use them in the future. We used to use CBS Sportsline but in 2006 they were experiencing massive server problems that impacted games and the draft, so we switched to Yahoo, which we had used in 2002 and 2003. We used Sandbox in the first season but ended up with way too much junk mail.

Q: Why do you have two champions? How does that work?

A: Technically, we have two championships: one for the best record and one for the most overall points scored. But the records champion is acknowledged as the true league champion, and only he gets his name engraved on the championship trophy. Having two titles is designed to compensate for the unfair possibility of one owner outscoring the rest of the league but, because of a difficult schedule, not finishing with the best record. About half the time one owner ends up winning both titles.

Q: How much money do you play for?

A: Not much, we play mostly for the fun of it and for pride. The records champion and the points champion each get $100. In addition, we have a trophy which the records champion gets his name engraved on it at the end of the season. Each week the owner who gets the highest score gets $20. Our yearly entrance fee is $60.

Q: How did "Obsessed With Sundays" begin?

A: The league was founded in 2001 by a group of law students at the University of San Diego School of Law who had heard about Fantasy Football and wanted to give it a try. They brought in some of their friends from across the West Coast and began a start-up league with Sandbox.com. As time went on they got more and more attached to their new hobby, and eventually the league and its participants became hard-core. Two more owners were added in 2003 to bring the total number to 12 and the league was moved to more progressive providers, Yahoo and CBS Sportsline. Now, after six seasons, some weeding out of less-than-committed participants, and experiments with different structures and rules, the league is a well-oiled machine, running smoothly and packed with dedicated, knowledgeable owners.

Q: What scoring system do you use?

A: While we have experimented with different scoring systems in the past, we have settled on the traditional scoring system featuring 6 points for any touchdown, 1 point for every 25 yards passing, and 1 point for every 10 yards rushing or receiving. We try to keep our scoring system as closely aligned with NFL rules as possible (hence, we did away with the 4-point passing touchdown a lot of leagues feature). Our only real deviations from traditional scoring are: 1) we award a point for every 30 kickoff/punt return yards instead of every 50 yards; 2) we don't give an additional point for a field goal that is over 50 yards.

Q: Is "Obsessed With Sundays" a keeper league?

A: No. Each owner drafts a team from scratch every year.

Q: Does "Obsessed With Sundays" have playoffs?

A: No, we're one of the few remaining leagues with a 17-week regular season and no playoffs. We feel long-term performance should be rewarded over having one good week at the right time. Further, we don't like the idea of having the majority of the owners getting only 14-15 weeks to their season instead of a full 17.

Q: How do you determine your draft order?

A: We determine our draft order randomly with names drawn out of hat. The only caveat is that the champion from the previous season cannot get the #1 overall pick.

Q: Can I join your league?

A: Thanks for asking, but we pretty much keep membership in-house. You have to know someone and there's got to be an opening. On top of that, you have to be very dedicated to the game and have a solid knowledge of the NFL.
