Gridiron fonts, color scheme, etc.

At another site I saw people slamming the appearance of this site.
 
Personally I think the low contrast font color to background creates less eye strain than black on white. I have no problem at all with the font selection or anything else. In fact, I have no clue what the complaining is about - however I am curious what yenz think.

It's not too bad, although the green is a little too bright.  The green does strain my eyes a little when I first enter the site, but I get use to it after 5 or 10 minutes.  These smileys rock!

In fairness, though that is NOT what I am in the mood for, I think they were referring to my home page for the GBRFL, located at http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/.  It is a little funky, but it is a HOBBY site!  Compared to some others of that genre, it is pretty darn good.  Of course, compared to a full-blown FF info site, well,...  That even stands for this right now.  I am just a hobby site as it stands with a league site and a message board.
 

 
I will say this, also, though.  I like my fuckin' color scheme; my friends, the GBRFLers who know how much heart I put into this, like and, moreover, appreciate it, and I have heard overall positive feedback from visitors.  I want this to look like football, not tupperware.  Green, brown, black, white (lines), splashes of red, yellow and orange, now that is football!  I like colors!  This goes for my league's web site, too, actually!  For those who don't, I say look at a rainbow and tell me God doesn't shine through that.  Call me a feetsy-pajamas-wearin' kid with crayons for all I care!  That's who I am.  I am not afraid of who I am and I don't hide behind aliases!
 
...Okay, maybe smilies, though! (I just love that little guy!)

OK, Steg ( )
How about breaking out a crayon for the "10 most recent posts page"? It's your site and all, but white text on light gray table backgrounds are harsh.

Venom,
 
This is kind of a clusterfuck with this set-up.  The background for that is set according to the "News Fader", BUT the text is set according to something different.  I don't want to change the background for the "News Fader" because that is the only color on which I can (kind of) get all NFL-team colors to show.  On the other hand, if I change the text color control for that from white to black, that really fucks things up.  To be honest, I have never visited that page.  I will see what I can do, but know that that is going to be a bit complicated to solve.

DONE... manually, but I found the code that needed tweaking... fairly quickly, I must say!

Look at the bottom of the main page (the board listing).

Funny, especially when you consider the responses in "light" of the (respective color schemes of) the two forums...  The responses, one could argue, are kind of predictable.
