Run Richard, Run!

Sure, you could join one of those fantasy sports leagues. Pretend you're running an NBA team with Yao Ming, Michael Jordan and, uh... Meadowlark Lemon.

Pfah! For sissies, I say!

Why not play a game with a little more at stake? Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Fantasy Fugitive Recovery.

Once you play FFR, you're never gonna go back to sweating over whether your league's Barry Bonds will have more homers than, umm... Meadowlark Lemon. Instead you're gonna be tracking escaped convicts, and getting points when one of your guys gets captured. The longer they've been on the run, the more points they're worth. Here's the Master List page and the Rules page. Basically, you pick your six guys (plus three alternates in case some of yours were already picked by someone else) and email your picks and team name into the guys at FFR.

Play ball!

PS. The headline refers to Richard Scott, who holds the honor of being FFR's longest-running fugitive. He escaped in 1947 and is still considered at large.
