[CBF1]

Crapola, #7

Atleast I had the number 1 pick in last nights rigged mock draft.

[ØrangeÇrush]

Thats where I'm at too CBF1....#7 is crap, crap, crap pick

[Odysseus]

I would like to trade down in drafting order. I'm looking for best offer.

FYI: I suck at FF - Why?
1. I haven't played in two years. Don't know what players are out there.
2. Last time I played injuries were more of a factor than players.
3. I have evil Internet. It comes, goes, and does whatever it want to. It's really really bad. It's like typing with your elbows.
4. (whine..whimper whimper) This draft site is tricker than Chinese math.
5. That all said I wanted to be the first one to publish my list of excuses so that when I come storming out of the cellar and stomping all your butts taking the league championship I can refer to seriously humble beginnings. Tell ESPN I'll be in my trailer. No intereviews. Where's my triple shot latte?

[Sassy]

LOL! QT! Bring me a triple latte too! ...and a choc. chip scone! ;D

[Rascal]

I think I've narrowed down my value/sleeper picks at WR. WOOT!!!

[phillybroncosnut]

Philly Phuknuts on board. Picking number 11. It's better then picking 4-10. I'd rather be 1,2,3 or 12 though. 11 would be my fifth choice. I can live within my top 5 draft position priority.

[Mtbrncofn]

I think my computer is messing up, Pez. I'm not sure. Everything froze up and it booted me. Sorry.

[ludo21]

Me too Rascal. Lelie right?

[Pezman]

Folks, we have an emergency situation with this weekend's draft as our software has been tested multiple times and we have some major problems with it.

Therefore, I am taking a precautionary measure and moving ALL OF OUR DRAFTS to CBS Sportsline just so we can do the draft without any major issues. (Note please, we are just moving the drafts, not the league itself)

More to come, but for now, if you do not have a www.sportsline.com id, please sign up for an account soon so that we can get you into the draft room.

Again, more to come soon. Stay tuned...

[Hotrod]

Any chance this changes up the draft order ;)

[Sideburn]

my account is still good there. w00t

[Rascal]

For some reason I can't get my computer to open up the CBS website. I've deleted cookies, history folder, refreshed, etc and it never opens. Any ideas?

No, we havent actually issued the invites to the draft page yet. I will get that information out to you all soon via PM

[Rascal]

No, we havent actually issued the invites to the draft page yet. I will get that information out to you all soon via PM

Maybe that's why the page won't open as I'm trying to open up the league's home page?

Send me the link for where we will be doing the draft and I'll try it tonight.

[Pezman]

Ok, just about to send out the PM's to everyone. Be sure to respond to it with your email address that you plan on using for your sportsline account. Thanks!

Use internet explorer (i know, I dont like it either, but it works),

Also, I need your email address to send you an invite to the league.

[Rascal]

Yeap it was Java.

Still won't let me rank my players using java though, but I can use my cheat sheets during the draft and just use their ADP to help find them easier.

Good to go :thumbs:

Because you didn't play last year and the ones in the other leagues are relatively newbies to the site.

[Pezman]

Actually, scheduling was the real formation for most the leagues. However, the highest priority for draft dates went to those who spoke first and had seniority.

Look at it this way Donkeyshow, you'll be against some formidible opponents in Kaylore, Med, REB, CBF1 and co... that conference is gonna be really freaking competitive.

[REB]

That's right and don't even try to snag Ricky Williams, Todd Pinkston, JP Losman or Martin Gramatica before me either or I'll tear ya a new one. :welcome: That's my 1st 4 rds right there brotha :thumbsup:

Looks like from that list since I draft at #6 unless someone screws up John David Washington will fall right into my lap.......can you say Championship :D


Did I mention IMO #6 is the single biggest headache spot in this draft. Unless someone really screws up 1-5 Im gonna have some decissions to make.....

With the utmost respect to Pez, who works his tail off every year on this FFL thing, and who's also a damned entertaining poster, I cannot believe that MHS didn't win the OM award for best performance in an FFL thread.

His Ramblings are some of the funniest Mane-related stuff I've ever read, and the main reason I even play this weird game.

Thanks, MT! I think I might have needed that warning. ^5

I will never confess just how much time I've spent this last week reading up on different players. Lets just say that if this was a class in college, I should have an A+++! :~ohyah!:

Ha!

I told my wife that the draft was scheduled for Sunday evening and she said, "I guess we'll have to make plans, then."

I said, "No. you don't understand. I can't go anywhere Sunday night. That's when we do the draft."

She said, "No. That's when YOU'LL be doing the draft. WE are going to make plans."






Now, I wonder what she meant by that?

The wife said since I have a new love for the next 4-5 months (football and fantasy) she will need to get one as well.

[Pezman]

I love my fantasy football so much that...

I sent the wife to Colorado for 5 days while I created a war room in our living room. Honey, if you are out there somewhere, have no fear, the dog and cats are fighting for leftover pizza crusts and YES dear, there is nutritional value to leftover beer cans and pizza box cheese. I'm sure your animals will be just fine.

[REB]

I thank God my ol' lady loves football, fantasy football, poker and drinkin' or else, well, I guess she wouldn't be my wife ;D





1-2-3 :Broncos:!!!!!!! :charge:

[Old Dude]

Okay. So I've been really busy in my sub-basement and I finally got around to looking at some FFL guides this year ...

... this really sucks. I have no idea who's starting where, who's in a committee, who's healthy, and in many cases, who's even going to make the roster.


And that's just the kickers!

[Pezman]

Studying, hmmm, what is this Stu-dy-ing that you refer to? I've never bought a fantasy football magazine, nor studied for any serious length of time on a draft. That is, with the exception of kickers. You know how valuable they are Ha!

I never do that either. I look through the depth charts online and a few other things. I do a whopping 20 minutes of prep at most. ;D I do a lot more when it gets going than before the draft.

[freak6]

I figured everything out, downloaded java and stuff. What a mess. Hope this works out.

[labronx]

Hey I have the second pick in the OrangeMane Conference I'm looking to trade down?

Any offers and is it even possible?
:afro:

[phillybroncosnut]

There are ways of making it work....... Let's say you get a no from the commish. Just get together with a trading partner and come up with your own draft pick trades and draft the other owners player(s) in that spot and visa versa.

I would want to trade down too. I'm in the neckpony league and scored the #11 spot. I love it. 12 is better but 11 is close enough.

[Rascal]

Wow...that was weird.

What I meant to say. Pez said he would allow them, but to make them work and not screw up the draft they need to have equal numbers. 2 for 2, 3 for 3, etc.

[Pezman]

Or you can trade entire drafts too! The only thing we cant do is trade during the actual draft itself, due to the limitations of the software at Sportsline.

[freak6]

I can't comprehend how a Bronco fan website scheduled its fantasy draft during a Bronco game.... ugh...

[labronx]

hey do you really need to rank players online can't you just keep your own on paper?

since its a live draft i dont see why you need them ranking unless you fall asleep during your turn to pick.

let me know,

[Pezman]

I can't comprehend how a Bronco fan website scheduled its fantasy draft during a Bronco game.... ugh...

You know, because, there were so many options for four different leagues trying to schedule. Get off my ass Freak... bastard :wave:

[-Slap-]

I wonder what fair compensation would be for the second overall pick?

A one and a two for the number #2 overall and a 12th rounder?

[Pezman]

hey do you really need to rank players online can't you just keep your own on paper?

let me know,
Ranking players for our draft is beneficial, but not necessary. However, if you saw the terrible order that Sportsline uses for their default order, you'd understand why its better to arrange the players manually
Hilarious!

[-Slap-]

let me know,
You don't have to pre rank. I recommend you keep a couple players in your draft queue, though. You might get knocked offline for a round and come back to find the computer selected an injured/suspended/arrested/holdout/dead player for you.

[labronx]

I wonder what fair compensation would be for the second overall pick?

A one and a two for the number #2 overall and a 12th rounder?t

lets say someone wants Shaun Alexander or LT or Payton? I think maybe up to three players for sure, something like a 1 a 3 and 4? or a 1 and 2 and 12 like you said?

how many points diff do you think between Alexander vs Fritz and lets say Rudi Johnson some one else

There used to be a great online trade chart that listed players values on a week to week basis. But for the life of me, I cant remember where it is anymore. But, valuewise, they say a high first round pick should always garner at least 1.25x their value in a trade because of their high demand and value.

[labronx]

wait i kinda realized im talkin out of my butt

So, in a draft like this year's, where a top three pick is highly coveted, what do you think is a solid offer?

Let's say, hypothetically, a team drafting #6 wanted to move up to #2.

Would a one (#6) and a two (#19) be worth a one (#2) and a 12 (#134)?

That would give the team who traded down picks #6, #19 and #23 along with their own #25 pick in round three. You could build a pretty sweet team with four picks in the top 25.

Meanwhile, the team who trades up gets to build around LJ, LT or Shaun, but then they don't pick again until their own #30 pick in round three.

thats the thing i've always liked diggin for players in the later rounds that can sometimes outperform 1s and if you get two for one you've really scored. thee possibilities can be endless esp. when you add another team in the mix.

thats the whole thing I hate players or leagues in which there is no action, just dumb ass lopsided deals being offered.

being that you never know who is gonna break out or have a down year, forces you to be creative.

We all have our own thoughts on who will have good and bad years, I mean if I think some one in the top3 will not be a top3 at the end of the year and someone wants that player then im willing to draft that player and pick up two players one a most likely sure thing and the other a player later in the rounds which is comming up.

Top #3 picks practically have their own category as for trade values this year because their output is nearly 50-100 points over their nearest projected picks (Portis, Edge etc) in most leagues. Their value is worth nearly a #1 AND #3 for most. The problem is, the team that drafts in those #1-3 spots will get much lower value in that second round.

Personally, if I had a #1-3 pick, the lowest offer I would listen to would be my #1 and #3 for their #1,2 AND 4.

[labronx]

that is the risk than can make or break your team, you hardly win if you dont make moves.

i dont like riding players all year just cuzz i picked them first one injury and bad season or the team just not playing well can really kill you.

I think this year has many question marks at the top, even the good ones arent all that this year, this year more than others.

thats kinda what im thinking. I see allot of solid players a bunch available after the first 24, players that have been elite and are going to be.

[Pezman]

Ironically enough, I dont trade very often in most of my leagues, as I try to shore up my teams via free agency and waivers. Finding people to trade with can be a challenge too, especially since most try to undervalue your guys, while overvaluing theirs...

[Rascal]

Pez, have you thought about my trade proposal?

[Pezman]

Pez, have you thought about my trade proposal?

I havent actually... my bad. I'll get back with you later today :wave:

[ØrangeÇrush]

I haven't paid much attention this year...I'll probably sit down tomorrow and get all the updated depth charts, and rank my players off of that.

This year is really looking like it will be difficult to rank players though as it seems that the last few years and clearly delineated super studs.

You could make the argument that Tiki Barber should go #1 since his is the only team without a lot of changes in the offense.

Larry Johnson:

--Will get more carries, but will he be as effective minus Roaf and Welbourne, Waters and and Shields all injured or retired? Plus you add Herman Edwards patented ability to f@ck a team up.

Ladainian Tomlinson:

--Super Stud who is best all around back. However, the offensive line is having issues since Hudson Houck went to Miami. (Underated offseason loss last year) Philip Rivers is making his debut so you think he'll get plenty of action, but he faded in the second half of the season last year and you think he might again this year.

-- Shaun Alexander:

--Touchdown machine, and is sitting behind one of the best lines in the game. The problem? He ran to the left 75% of the time last year including 83% in the red zone. His all world OLG is gone and is being replaced by a man known as "porkchop". The question all want to know,

"Will Porkchop help bring home the bacon."


and finally,

--Tiki Barber:

--Most yards from scrimmage last year, collected 14 total TD and is playing behind an offense that expects to get better since Eli is maturing. The only problem with Tiki is his low TD totals compared to the above, however, there is no garantuee that the aformentioned above players will be up to standards.

The WR rankings are even screwier this year with the inability to really get a feel for the top.

-Chad Johnson -- Should be a superstud as usual but you aren't sure how well Palmer will play, and do you really want Chad Johnson to be catching passes from Anthony Wright?

-Terrel Owens -- WTF?

-Randy Moss -- See Aaron Brooks for why this is a problem.

-Anquan Boldin or Larry Fitzgerald -- This applies to both. You aren't sure that they will replicate their numbers from last year, plus you don't know if Warner will be replaced by Leinart or whether Edge will actually get the rushing game going with a lack luster line.

Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne

-Is this the year that Wayne passes Harrison for #1 on the depth chart? Do you really want to make that bet? Do you dare? Is Marvin slowing down, and where does Stokley fit in? Plus you throw a rookie RB out there to pass block and you start to wonder if they are going be as good as last year.

-Javon Walker

--Really where does he stand? Is he fully healed, and if so, will Jake even look his way? How will Scheffler effect this?


There are a crap load of teams with #1 receivers that you aren't going to be drafting in the top stanzas.

San Francisco
Atlanta (lol lelie..you got what you wanted)
Jacksonville
Chicago
Minnesota
Green Bay
Kansas City
Philly
New York Jets
Tennesse



Basically this year is a cluster in trying to rank teams and players....ick

[Mtbrncofn]

You don't have to pre rank. I recommend you keep a couple players in your draft queue, though. You might get knocked offline for a round and come back to find the computer selected an injured/suspended/arrested/holdout/dead player for you.


Or a kicker....9 times in a row. Ha!

[Rascal]

When in doubt just take 7-9 RB's cruch :)

[Rascal]

Man those rankings on CBS are absolutely horrible.

It would take me freaking forever to redo those.

Is there a way to just import/download my excel spreadsheet?

[Bronco_Beerslug]

They're not that bad. It's easy enough to move players around if you want to although I see no need to considering how many players are in view on the draft room page.

[ØrangeÇrush]

When in doubt just take 7-9 RB's cruch :)

heh,

thats what I did last year. took a bunch of RB's and played the waiver wire with my WR's....well except for galloway, and Chris cooley. I'd like to have my lineup back from last year....with Palmer, Cooley, and LJ plus another 5 RB's.

[Pezman]

Man those rankings on CBS are absolutely horrible.

Rank them after following this link

http://neckponynation.football.sportsline.com/rank

Go halfway down the page and look for this...

"Set Rankings to Average Draft Position"

Click that, and it will give you a better rankings by default :sunshine:

[Taco John]

Ranking my players now... So far no baby, so I'll probably be able to draft.

[Taco John]

by the way... it's jacked up that you can't select Mike Bell in CBS drafts...

[Pezman]

by the way... it's jacked up that you can't select Mike Bell in CBS drafts...

Really? I'll double check that and see if I cant fix that :thumbs:

[Pezman]

Ok TJ, he is listed, but you need to really look for him in the draft room.

Sort your players first to running backs, then, click the Tm button and you will see Bell listed under RB DEN. He's listed under Dayne, Johnson, and above Tatum on that list.

[Taco John]

I'm using the Java rank list and can't find him anywhere....

Hey, how many rounds is this thing anyway?

[Pezman]

I'm using the Java rank list and can't find him anywhere....

Hey, how many rounds is this thing anyway?

17 rounds.
As for the rankings, I only tested the actual draft room queue. I'll have to look again to see the java rankings and figure out why he isnt listed there.

[Bronco_Beerslug]

I'm using the Java rank list and can't find him anywhere....

Hey, how many rounds is this thing anyway?
Yeah, only Nash, T Bell and Dayne are listed.

[ludo21]

im here, and will be there!! muahahahaa

[Kaylore]

Is Mike Bell on the HTML listing?

[Taco John]

Is Mike Bell on the HTML listing?


Who can use that thing?

[Mediator12]

Hey Kaylore,

Dude we drew the same division ;D This is going to be fun!

Beware Dragon Over 8 Stay.

[Rascal]

I figured out how to rank Bell but I'm not telling.

[Taco John]

Looks like I'll just have to use my number one pick on him then... ;D

[watermock]

Ranking my players now... So far no baby, so I'll probably be able to draft.

I got you coveed T.J. I have proxied in T.O., Ontario Smith, Koren Robinson, Drew Henson and the Chiefs defense.

[watermock]

I can see it now...honey, my water broke...

just a second hon...I'm on the clock here...J/K but it's funny. We will take care of things if you don't have it preloaded.

[Pezman]

My prediction was TJ's baby is coming right at the beginning of the draft. I just know it!

See you all over at the draft room! Dont be late ;D

[Sideburn]

Lets rock and roll...damn I'm tired.

[-Slap-]

I got you coveed T.J. I have proxied in T.O., Ontario Smith, Koren Robinson, Drew Henson and the Chiefs defense.

TO's going to slide and you're going to grit your teeth and draft him.

:yayaya:

[OrangeShadow]

I thought the draft was tuesday?

[smalltowngrll]

There's four groups. Two drafts are today, one tomorrow and one on Tuesday. You must be in the same group as I am...I draft Tuesday.

[Pezman]

Mane draft is complete! Onto the Maniax conference! Get there early Maniax!

[Malcontent]

Mane draft is complete! Onto the Maniax conference! Get there early Maniax!

How long did the draft take Pez?

How long did the draft take Pez?

Roughly 2 hours or so... it would have been faster but we had a couple technical issues :pimp:

D - Seattle Seahawks

I like your starting receivers, and your RB stable is good. Stephan Davis, Curtis Martin are head scratchers though, and sorry TJ, but your QB's are the fugly bunch. Scheffler might be a great pickup, depends on whether Jake actually looks at him in the red zone though.

[ØrangeÇrush]

I'd like to find out who drafted at position #7....cough....for umm...research..

[Sassy]

Ha! I draft at #10 in the Geek League...so I know what ya mean!

[Sassy]

Sorry Sass... gotta keep that a secret until all drafts conclude

[ØrangeÇrush]

Awesome,


Thanks Sass!!!!!

[Pezman]

Sorry peeps, I'm asking that the actual results of the drafts from tonights two drafts stay secretive until the conclusion of all four drafts. Its ok to show rosters, but keep the draft order secret at my request. Thanks!

[ØrangeÇrush]

Just glancing at this, and I think Old Dude, just had himself an amazing draft!

[Sassy]

Oops...sorry about that!
I just figured everyone was talking about rosters anyway...

[ØrangeÇrush]

Sorry peeps, I'm asking that the actual results of the drafts from tonights two drafts stay secretive until the conclusion of all four drafts. Its ok to show rosters, but keep the draft order secret at my request. Thanks!


sorry pez...I was just curious.

Big legged kicker with the Falcons. Guy can kick it a mile :)

[Sassy]

Ahh...I personally love my round 4 pick ;D

[REB]

I can guess who that was...:)

[Sassy]

Ha! If he has a great year...you'll love him too!

[REB]

If it's who I think it might be I already love'em...

[Pezman]

Whew, ok Orangemane rosters are imported to the league homepage at myfantasyleague! One down, 3 to go Ha!

[Odysseus]

Thanks for all the hard work. You guys are very accomodating.

Poor Kaylore....Autodraft IS evil.

As soon as the rosters are up I need to fix mine. I missed a lot of key early pickups because I could not see what was on the board, who had what, what was really left...it was bad.

Rule #1: Never come rushing from an airport you are stranded at for days and think you can draft a team intelligently especially with no notes and zero preparation.

Rule #2: See Rule #1

Thanks keeping me in this. I'm changing my team name to warm body or lunch meat or something more accurate. Maybe Desperados is good enough.

[Sassy]

If it's who I think it might be I already love'em...

"WWJT" ROFL!

[Pezman]

Ok, Broncomaniax rosters are now set as well! W00t!

[Sassy]

This is your WARNING! :P

[Pezman]

Ok ok sassy! I swear, I'm going to bed now! Boy, 10 hours of fantasy football sure makes me loopy. Woooo!

What's teh rest of your lineup look like?

[Old Dude]

LOL

What's teh rest of your lineup look like?

It's just a big running back brothel. I am such a RB whore. I should be ashamed. 5 of my first 6 picks, I think.

[Rascal]

eh...Crunch did the same thing last year and he did pretty well if I remember right. If your later picks pan out you might be okay, plus you can always pull a sideburn and trade a scrub for TO.

[Hotrod]

How long is the draft clock set for???

[Mile High Shack]

just make sure and show up at 7pm central NPN'ers ;)

[Mtbrncofn]

Evenrude, I think you take Fragile Freddy every year. ;)

*clears throat ahmmm please ;D

[Mile High Shack]

if you take longer than 2 min to make a pick, I'm flying to CO and kicking you in the jimmy

[Pezman]

Dear Ludo, its called READING COMPREHENSION :rofl:

By the way, NO NAME DROPPING during the draft!

Name dropping?? What's that??

Oh, and by the way....if anyone wants to share any great tidbits of advice for a 1st time drafter....go right ahead and pm me your words of wisdom!!! :wave:

[Pezman]

Here's my club - I flamed out after my first two picks and got crushed by everyone... I forsee a sub-.500 campaign.

Oh, and by the way....if anyone wants to share any great tidbits of advice for a 1st time drafter....go right ahead and pm me your words of wisdom!!! :wave:


Name dropping... the penultimate violation of the fantasy football world during drafts.

Namedropping is when owners talk about players that are still available UNTIL the whole draft is complete.

You aren't allowed to name drop. You can't say something along the lines of "I can't beleive Tatum Bell hasn't been picked yet". Keep those thoughts to yourself. :thumbsup:

[Rascal]

Peyton Manning is still available at the first pick? Say what?

[Pezman]

Ok, divisions have been aligned to reflect the draft order. Be sure to check your new competition in your respective conference.

(Based on the *1,4,7,10 // 2,5,8,11 // 3,6,9,12 seeds)

Also, schedules will be out after the drafts are complete. Remember, no doubleheaders this season, and you will play your division foes only once!

[heydensmom]

I was wondering what happened..

[ludo21]

Dear Ludo, its called READING COMPREHENSION :rofl:

May not be able to read but ill dominate you in MAdden!! !Booya!

I gotcha now, i see it on the calendar :thumbs:

[Evenrude]

Evenrude, I think you take Fragile Freddy every year. ;)

I think you're right.... but I got him fairly late and picked up his backup (bum knee and all) later on.

[Sassy]

Oh no I have to play Old Dude first! Yikes! ;D

Glad I ended up in the same division with ludo - at least I don't have to worry about the ignominy of finishing last. ;D

[Rascal]

Old Dude wins. Go ahead and give him the jersey.

[Mile High Shack]

it's pretty obvious dark forces are at work when the stallworth trade went down

[Rascal]

Apparently he contacted the same witch doctor as Sideburn. Is your soul worth it Old Dude?

[ludo21]

Glad I ended up in the same division with ludo - at least I don't have to worry about the ignominy of finishing last. ;D

I ranked the players for you already (one of those posts back there), you're good to go. :strong:

[smalltowngrll]

So, you're saying it's a good idea to rank your players on CBS Sprortsline thingy before the draft, right? ???

[Hotrod]

Great now Priest Holmes just went on PUP.....Im gonna have to just go with what my good buddy Slug set up for me.

[Blueflame]

So, you're saying it's a good idea to rank your players on CBS Sprortsline thingy before the draft, right? ???

Yes, that's a very good idea, STG... and I usually print out a "cheat sheet" prior to a draft as well and mark off names as each selection is made. That way you have a general idea of who's left on the board at any given time.

Listen here, Pez...I don't have time to pay attention to the obvious.

[Broncobiv]

Trying to make plans for after the MHN draft tomorrow. For those of you already done, how long did it take you to completed the draft? 2 hours? 90 minutes?

[Pezman]

Well, based on previous drafts... you can expect it to take between 2-3 hours est.

Yesterday's drafts had difference circumstances due to glitches, but the afternoon draft took 2 hours 10 minutes, and the evening draft took 2 hours 40 minutes.

Last year, we had one draft finish in 1 hour 35 minutes! So it can really vary quite a bit.

THAT was the website I couldn't find!!!

I'm like two minutes into my draft looking for everything!!! I tried using www.footballguys.com but it wasn't as easy on the eyes. The Shark's sight is pretty fast and I like his takes. It's better to work off paper so that you can cross off stuff that was gone.

I had trouble keeping with what was there, what was gone and finding my way around the site. I did some kind of resort and my draft got ganked PEZMAN does an excellent job running the draft. A custom league will allow them options to keep thing gone, move things along and when you're talking smack you have some idea who you are talking smack to.

I'll post up my adjusted roster. Need a trade for a RB! Need access to the pile to see if there are any undrafted crap that is still in the league. Anybody want to trade for Curtis Martin? (Autodraft is a tool of the devil!)

[Pezman]

Ok! Rosters for the Neck Pony Nation are set.

[Mtbrncofn]

Wtf? I think I just got an email saying that Crush and Hotrod traded their whole teams?

[Pezman]

Oops! I accidentally entered in Hotrod's team as Crush, and had to reverse them, which is the reason they were traded LOL

[Mtbrncofn]

LOL Maybe you should have cut back on the Fat Tire's awhile ago? :P

I made a couple of huge draft mistakes but overall am VERY lucky to have this team as in good of shape as it is. I didn't have my drafting tools, didn't use this drafting vehicle smartly, got ganked, and went blind for half the draft. It was a typical draft all things considered. I feel lucky to be a part of this league to be honest. Glad to be here!

I can recover with a smart trade but I don't have enough firepower to finish even if I made the playoffs. I am essentially in this with (1) Running back. Any offers?

[Old Dude]

QUESTION for those who must not be questioned ...

1. What determines the order for free agent pickups when that starts?

2. Will there be any way to que up the requested FA transactions before the starting gun sounds, or is this going to be some sort of first-come first-served deal with people stumbling all over each other?

In all of the leagues I've been in, free agency was first come, first served. However, the waiver wire process is generally determined by the order of the draft. The person who had the first pick is last in waiver wire priority and the last pick has top priority. In most leagues, players who are not drafted are automatically placed into the waiver pool for a certain period of time (usually 1-3 days). During this time, any team can put a claim in for a player and the person with the highest waiver priority who put in the claim during that period gets the player. Once a waiver claim is successful, that individual's waiver priority is dropped to the bottom of the list. So, if the person with top waiver priority puts in a claim for several players, and others put in claims for the same players, the top priority only applies to the first claim placed.

In some leagues, waiver priority is never reset, while in others, waiver priority is determined weekly depending on wins/losses and standings.

1. Free agency, starting Wednesday, August 30th at 11pm EST, will be a one time, first come, first served basis that will lock down before the first NFL regular season game :thumbsup:

2. By the looks of the league software, I dont think you will be able to queue up your picks so it will be a free-for-all. Sorry bout that!

I feel I drafted pretty well. May have made a big blunder taking Edge with #8 instead of Ronnie Brown. I planned all along to pass on Edge and go with Ronnie... ask Jack!, but then changed my mind during the draft. Hope it doesn't back fire. That's the only move I really question. Anyhow, here's the team. Read em & WEEP!

Oskie's mom. She's 6'3" and weighs 240, and is a hoss to bring down. Why Oskie is only 5'4", weighs 120, and a pansy ass is still a mystery.

Cool, I just found out both Mannings retired so thats good to know before the draft.

My guess its between, Jordan, Johnson, Brown, Williams, and Portis, so Im looking to go TE or K.

[Rascal]

Hey pez I hope you didn't have to pay to use that crappy CBS draft site. Good lord that was horrible. You should demand a refund after that debacle.

Hey, she runs a 4.39 40 and throws 225 up like 35 times... what's not to like?

There once was a genie with a 12 foot wenie who went to the neighbor next door. She thought it was a snake, and hit it with a rake, and now it's only 5'4''!!!
