I joined a league at work about 10 years ago when they kicked out a father-son duo for cheating and needed replacements. Half of that league was from Illinois, but the other half was in Arkansas, so I never met any of them (except one guy I met at a wedding).
Right now all I have is an 11 (yes, eleven) team roto league with most of those same people. We drafted mid March and obviously, nothing since...
