Fantasy Guru

I'm the commish of a 20-team NFL Fantasy Football league...yes...you heard me right. Previously, my limit was 16 teams but I decided to go for the Yahoo limit of 20 teams in a free league this year. Naturally, the complainers were on me to shrink it back down to 16. I said no and told them to man-up (or in some cases woman-up) and prepare a deep draft board. I'm not afraid of competition and considering that I won a 20-team NBA fantasy league this winter (after being in 17th place after three weeks), my confidence is sky high.

Do you think I should have caved and went back to 16 teams?
