I've used cbssports.com (formerly sportsline.com and cbs.sportsline.com for 10 years for football & baseball. The site's great, and they have the "big board". It's a bit pricey, but IMO you get what you pay for. Free sites are out there, but the quality tends to be poor from what I've seen (yahoo)
i miss the days of sitting around a living room or a bar and having the commish right down the names.
We still do it that way. Then the commish inputs everything online the next day.
our problem is, i'm in the chicago area, one guy is in south carolina, sevearl are in toledo and i think one more is down in florida. i've not seen some of the guys i play with in 4+ years

We do ours in NYC at Dave & Busters in Times Square... People from Philly, CT and all over NJ... A once a year live get together is cool. They have a room with a large conference table and a buffet. It works great.

with cbs.sportsline, you can do an online draft. they open up a draft room. you can have everyone draft from home, or get as many together as possible, and let the out of staters draft remotely. 2 problems:
The draft room ranks everyone, for all to see. So it makes it harder to get some sleepers, or just wait a few rounds for someone. Once he pops up on your screen as one of the top guys available, he pops up on everyone elses screen as well
getting together for the draft is one of the best things about fantasy sports. 2nd only to winning the championship, IMO.

That's what we've been using
It doesn't make you draft any better though

I think we are all throwing in $50 too. Should be fun!
