So when we decided to have "Monster" as our theme, I had just finished watching the Dreamworks animated movie Igor with my kids.

Before the memory of the 2009 NFL season fades into our cluttered mental rolodex and we begin looking forward to crowning of the next Super Bowl Champs (congrats to the New Orleans Saints and all of their fans by the way); what better time to talk about our first Robot Fantasy Football League.
