You may start researching now if you like. Kevin has expressed interest in us holding off for a little while, and that's fine. I do enjoy taking my time looking through everything in putting the teams together.

Whenever I'm ready to start Season #1, I will set divisions and put Kevin's in the WEST, so when he's ready to go, he can fill.

Andy, how is it that I missed this one? I am a little bummed.
