[Canadian'eh!]

come on vikings.. make the pick already.

[R. Rich]

Thx for making that pick for me Rich I appreciate it, and to be honest Im kinda surprised he was still there being a Bill and all but now I got two big bookends who are young and gonna be dominant;

Big Mike Williams RT and Jordan Gross LT


I chose McKinnie w/ my last pick in the 8th, but it was between him and Big Mike.

[DraftBoy]

Those were the two it was between for me also but you made my decision much easier

[Michael82]

After how many 9th rounders he has acquired...does Nasty Nights really need an extra $4 million pick at the end? It seems like their team is starting to get built better than others and they also arent shelling out $7.5 million or $10 million to any player. :feedback:

Mike, they'll have spent more in this round ($16M) than I have in ANY round. Stop whining.

I'm a hustler baby... I also have very few picks in the 15-25 range.


I can't help it if i made a bunch of moves trading to get the team back on track.

i was lucky to find people wanting to move out of this round for cap reasons and took advantage.

[R. Rich]

It'll all even out, so everyone should relax. Look at it this way: there are 20 teams in this league and we get to stock our teams from the rosters of 32 NFL teams. There's plenty of good players available for everyone. It's all in how you prepare, meaning being wary of the salary cap, ranking players, planning when to make your picks, etc.

[R. Rich]

Hey Chef, you're up.

Great way to look at it, anyway we dont know how the computer really ranks players in skill positions and how advantagious it is to have a player thats a 9 on defense compared to a 7 first year is trial and error

[Canadian'eh!]

in rounds 13-38 of those 25 picks i am missing picks in 11 rounds....

[L.A. Playa]

I think at this point O canada should own his team no matter what, he has done too much work for someone else take advantage of that

[Michael82]

I totally agree. :clap:

it would suck to give it back but a deal is a deal man....

besides it was fun for the last couple days, and i could always re-apply for my assitant GM job of the Bushwackers i think... i don't think the position has been filled.

[Devin]

Indeed. Hes shown the interest and work needed to be an owner in this league.

That being said, NY Goldmine make your pick!

[Michael82]

[Michael82]

Now the next question is...what the heck should we do about Maine Men? They have 2 picks coming up soon.

[Canadian'eh!]

Now the next question is...what the heck should we do about Maine Men? They have 2 picks coming up soon.


their picks are being made,.... and the guy said he'll be back tot ake over the team...

[L.A. Playa]

Ill be making the Maine Men selections till he can come back

[Canadian'eh!]

Mike, they'll have spent more in this round ($16M) than I have in ANY round. Stop whining.


* 20 million counting the make up pick.

[Canadian'eh!]

Ill be making the Maine Men selections till he can come back


whihc you could do if the CHEF would just make his pick.

[Michael82]

* 20 million counting the make up pick.
Oh man. You are definitely making up for lost picks and with those extra $5 million startup picks that you got...you should be fine. Something tells me that this draft will last at least 60 or 70 rounds for all of the teams that need to makeup lost picks that they traded in the 20s, 30s, and 40s.

[Sportsuser101]

I think at this point O canada should own his team no matter what, he has done too much work for someone else take advantage of that
I agree. He has been active and has always been here for his pick. Can't ask for much more then that out of an owner.

[L.A. Playa]

this is really getting kinda tedious each day under my current projections ill be done in rd 50

[Devin]

After the 10th round it will be interesting to watch the trend in selections.

The 9th was all CB's/WR's but I suspect the 10th will be lineman. Most the top tier players are gone, now its about adding quality support.

[Michael82]

Ill be making the Maine Men selections till he can come back
okay fine. I just feel that for someone who already has a team and their own list...isn't it hard for you to fill out his needs when you gotta watch out for your own needs? I can't see you taking a player that you spotted for your own team, and giving it to him instead. That's my problem. You know what i mean? if he or someone else who didn't have a team were making his picks...there would be some picks where he steals someone that you want for your team. What would you do that to yourself?

[Canadian'eh!]

I agree. He has been active and has always been here for his pick. Can't ask for much more then that out of an owner.
that's funny because i woke up EXACTLY at my time to pick the last 2 days.... stupid evening shifts.....

Oh, for those who remember me leaving my pick for eb due to that emrgency procedure last night.... It went poorly... VERY poorly.... i am still a bit freaked out about it.... I've had to call 1 code at the hospital i worked at in montreal when i found a dead lady int he hall who had died while waitng to go abck to her room... But this time i was the Tech in charge working with a nurse and doctor... scary stuff.

[Michael82]

this is really getting kinda tedious each day under my current projections ill be done in rd 50
I'll be done by like Round 48 or so. :snooze:

[L.A. Playa]

what i have done for his team is slot a position with an amount and I am gonna take the highest rated player at that position without regard of what I need for my team because chances are if he would have made his selections all along that player would be gone anyway, personally I really have no particular players slotted I start thinking of a particular player a few picks before I select

[Sportsuser101]

Around Round 60 for me

[Canadian'eh!]

I'll be done by like Round 48 or so. :snooze:

i'll be done in about round 83

[Devin]

probably round 139 for me.

[L.A. Playa]

I just want this to be fair and Im not gonna use the power to select for another team to my advantage thats dishonest and also underhanded and would catch up to me in the long run in some area of my life so I would rather operate in integrity and do the best I can for Maine Men's team

[Michael82]

probably round 139 for me.
:rofl:

:up:

[L.A. Playa]

Also I m not gonna make any trades for his team he needs to do that work and make the best of the situation when and if he returns I just think thats fair for all of us in the league

[Canadian'eh!]

OMG.... I TOTALLY forgot about HEAP!!! nice pick chef... i feel like an idiot.

[Canadian'eh!]

Can i make my makup pick cause i know what it is.....

[L.A. Playa]

go ahead i made maine mens pick its on u

[R. Rich]

Make your pick, O. We'll go right into the 10th round after you're done.

[Canadian'eh!]

Make your pick, O. We'll go right into the 10th round after you're done.


sorry,.... can i trade this pick i may have some interest from people...

[R. Rich]

Go ahead.

[Devin]

hurry!

[R. Rich]

Damn, you're pushy, Devin.

[Devin]

yeah its all this "nothing" I have to do today.

[Canadian'eh!]

jesus... between devin and rich i can't take this pressure...

[Sportsuser101]

sorry,.... can i trade this pick i may have some interest from people...
Not sure there is any interest. Everyone seemed to want to get out of the 9th.

[Devin]

The Chef is on the clock.

[Canadian'eh!]

Not sure there is any interest. Everyone seemed to want to get out of the 9th.


that guy wanted little.... he thought i was bluffing... but i though i might be able to get a 10 and later pick.... he dicided to pass... but i like little....... as long as he's not behind the wheel of a car.

[Canadian'eh!]

does the Chef know he doesn't HAVE to wait until 3:30 to make his pick? he could make it as soon as he's on the clock.

[Sportsuser101]

does the Chef know he doesn't HAVE to wait until 3:30 to make his pick? he could make it as soon as he's on the clock.
He always slows the draft to a snails pace.

[L.A. Playa]

So much for me hurrying Maine Men's selections to get this thing going

[Sportsuser101]

So much for me hurrying Maine Men's selections to get this thing going
The weird part is that it shows that he is viewing this forum.

[L.A. Playa]

maybe he left his computer on and had to go somewhere ???

[L.A. Playa]

its been hard and taken alot of patience sitting out alot of rounds but judging from all the trade down posts im glad I got my trading done early next week will shape my team out

[The Spaz]

I am in the 10th round now with a trade. Someone please add me to the 10th round.

[That Guy]

Also in the 11th round I have my pick, not the Retro Raiders, because that deal was voided.

[R. Rich]

Guys, I will take care of the trade issues. I have been tracking the trades (a task in itself, trust me!), so just bear w/ me as I try to make sure each person has the correct pick given to them.

[Devin]

I think I got the 10th updated Rich.

[That Guy]

I was wondering how long it would take David Carr to finally go..

Boring day for me not having any picks

[L.A. Playa]

was a nice run we where at a good pace think Ally is at work so I dont think we will be moving soon

[Canadian'eh!]

MAN... we get almost 3 hours ahead and then.... waiting time.

[Forward_Lateral]

Ahman Green for 3 Million, the steal of the draft.

[RetroRaiders81]

Boring day for me not having any picks
Same here, but its for a good reason.

[Michael82]

Ahman Green for 3 Million, the steal of the draft.
It's a good pick, but it's not the steal. There are a bunch of solid RBs still available. :shocked:

[Michael82]

Same here, but its for a good reason.
trying to save cap money?

[Michael82]

So, the next question is...how many rounds do people think that we will go thru? You need to have 53 players on your roster and you need to spend really no more than $81 or $82 million of the cap money, so you have wiggle room for injuries and whatever. So, there will probably be quite a few rounds or $100,000 picks. i just wonder how many and will it just be scrubs available by then? or will people still pick up some starters?

[Canadian'eh!]

bout 12-15

[Michael82]

bout 12-15
Something tells me that many teams will pass those rounds or try to trade them.

[RetroRaiders81]

trying to save cap money?
Yah, I just added all my money if I were to leave my picks as they are, and I'd be over 6,600,000. Thats not too bad is it? I few trades here and there will take care of that.

[R. Rich]

Something tells me that many teams will pass those rounds or try to trade them.

Already done that, except for my 15th. If I don't trade it, I'll probably just pass.

[L.A. Playa]

ill be choosing in every round i havent traded after the 10th is over

[Sportsuser101]

Ahman Green for 3 Million, the steal of the draft.
I think Jones when you factor in everything is more of steal then Green.

[RetroRaiders81]

Yup, thats where I'll probably get rid of that 6 Mil...a couple 3 Million picks here and maybe a 1, or 2 Mil. pick.

[L.A. Playa]

Id have to go with Jones based on injury time missed last year production and fuble proneness

[L.A. Playa]

Considereing Tiki Barber was the leader in all purpose yardage and up there in TD's Maine Men getting him for $4million is probably a bigger steal

[R. Rich]

Id have to go with Jones based on injury time missed last year production and fuble proneness


Those damn fubles.

[RetroRaiders81]

Nothings better than Manning to Owens. :snicker:

[That Guy]

Nothings better than Manning to Owens. :snicker:
Except Manning to Champ Bailey..

[L.A. Playa]

Except Manning to Champ Bailey..


:lmao:

[Canadian'eh!]

Manning won't be throwing to anyone anymore once KGB and Little get to him

[RetroRaiders81]

:lmao:
You mean Chump Bailey.

Chump Bailey=Over-rated
Ronde Barber=Under-Rated

[RetroRaiders81]

Manning won't be throwing to anyone anymore once KGB and Little get to him
:roflmao:

[L.A. Playa]

I can see it now Terrell Owens gets hurt for the year in week 9 Raiders lose last 7 then Drew Rosen****head makes TO sit out the year next year and Manning has to throw to Drew Haddad LOL JK Retro

[That Guy]

I'm pretty sure the ratings don't lie.. not to mention the Bailey is younger and qualifies at receiver.

[RetroRaiders81]

I don't even have a offense team, your gonna have to deal with my defense too. Peyton Manning with a defense. :snicker:

[Canadian'eh!]

i needa 10... but not at that guys prices DAMN

[L.A. Playa]

So far looks like the Knox Division is gonna be the most competitive

[R. Rich]

I can't even remember which teams are in which division. I'll check it out once all the teams have been picked.

[Michael82]

Yah, I just added all my money if I were to leave my picks as they are, and I'd be over 6,600,000. Thats not too bad is it? I few trades here and there will take care of that.
The problem is...teams are starting to realize that. I think the the trades will probably start slowing down soon and teams will just skip rounds. I think a lot of teams will be filling their depth with the $100,000 players.

[RetroRaiders81]

The problem is...teams are starting to realize that. I think the the trades will probably start slowing down soon and teams will just skip rounds. I think a lot of teams will be filling their depth with the $100,000 players.
Well if they need a pick in that round, they'll take it, but you may be forced to make a bad trade for yourself, just to get rid of it. If it comes down to skipping rounds...then so be it.

[Michael82]

Considereing Tiki Barber was the leader in all purpose yardage and up there in TD's Maine Men getting him for $4million is probably a bigger steal
Tiki Barber will be 30 this year. Kevin Jones will be only 23. He's the biggest steal IMO.

[Forward_Lateral]

I think Jones when you factor in everything is more of steal then Green.

I have to disagree. I'll take a 28 year old RB who's had 5 straight 1000 yard rushing seasons in his prime over a guy who's been in the league for one season, and was injured for a third of it.

Does Jones have upside? Yes, but I wouldn't call him a "steal"

[R. Rich]

You would call him a steal, FL. Ahman Green sucks. You should have taken Travis Henry instead. Or Mike Nugent.

[Michael82]

Nothings better than Manning to Owens. :snicker:
A lot are if Manning has no offensive line to protect him. :::

Who's your LT and RT? Who's his C? That's the problem. Defenses will key on Manning and he will probably get injured midway thru the season. :snicker:

Does Jones have upside? Yes, but I wouldn't call him a "steal"
The only thing that matters is the last 1. Jones had over 1000 yards and more YPC then Green and is 6 years younger and does not fumble. We'll see who has the better season in the sim. And he only missed 1 game so I'm not sure what you're talking about.

[L.A. Playa]

Did Ally send her pick to someone ???

[Sportsuser101]

So far looks like the Knox Division is gonna be the most competitive
Yup me, you, Spaz and MMBeddard. Looks pretty tough especially for offensive teams with me and MM loading up on defense.

SOmething HAS to be done for the people who consistently slow this draft down.... Chef and Ally specifically....

They shoud be required to leave lists with mods... this is rediculous... the draft will take all frigging year if we can't do more than 2 rounds a day due to this.

Trust me they arent "stars" they are really trying to whatever they can to make a dollar, and think that people at these parties can "advance" their careers and they will do anything, some I cant resist and be like alright what ya willing to do for me to help ya but I prefer the regular clubs with semi regular women more of a challenge and the sex is better than the performances these women put on

[L.A. Playa]

I will know for sure about New Orleans in a couple months but if I go I plan on getting into alot of trouble in the French Quarter

I again would like to thank Devin and R. Rich for their great work today, covering the draft in my absence.

[L.A. Playa]

so what happened to the rejects???

[Canadian'eh!]

he's 17 years old.... i don't think he can go more than 3 hours without downloading porn and breaking out the tissues....


anyway... I pulled the trade for the 2nd pick int he 11th.... I have 5 people in front of me and 4 main targets... 1 in particular.... i have a bad feeling this could be very bad for me.

[Devin]

Np Eb :).

Yeah it would ne nice to get the 11th rolling tonight :)

[L.A. Playa]

Guess it is dinner time on the east coast LOL

[Canadian'eh!]

it would be VERY good to get the 11th going..... :grovel:

[L.A. Playa]

Hey if everyone can contact everyone i can stay on till around 1 am EDT and we could just roll out some rounds tonite

[Canadian'eh!]

would be great because i have 3 picks next round and i work at midnight.

getting home at 8 and getting up at noon for the draft for 2 straight days is gonne be exhausting....

I may have to PM a few pick to EB.

[R. Rich]

You want to start the 11th tonight? There's no way we could finish the round, which would mean we'd have to wait until Monday to finish.

[Canadian'eh!]

You want to start the 11th tonight? There's no way we could finish the round, which would mean we'd have to wait until Monday to finish.
what harm is there in starting? most people are gonna be on here all weekend witht he draft going on.... if someone can'tmake it then they can either send int heri picks or We will be forced to wait i guess... but why not start?

[L.A. Playa]

I personally think we should continue as far as we can so we can get this over with

[The Spaz]

Start the ****ing round.

[Devin]

It would help greatly if people would simply mail in thier picks to Eb/Rich/Myself.

While there is no rush to finish, we can keep things moving forward by doing that. If your not gonna be around for a round, it takes about 30 seconds to do that.

[L.A. Playa]

plus lets be honest most people here are gonna be online all weekend with the real NFL draft going on so why not just get as far as we can

[RetroRaiders81]

Start it earlier, I have school man.

[Devin]

leave your picks and it wont matter.

[L.A. Playa]

when peopel are here we can pretty much do a round in less than an hour we could be close to being done by next friday if people could devote some time this weekend lets be honest we all are gonna be thinking of the draft all weekend LOL

[Devin]

If anyone is away for the draft, or the BZ party this weekend just send me a pm with your picks.

[L.A. Playa]

earlier ??????? LOL im on the west coast and a round starts at 6 AM how much earlier ya wanna start LOL

[RetroRaiders81]

lol, I feel dumb, I forgot it was friday. Anyway, I'll stay up then, or will be available in the morning.

[L.A. Playa]

its friday ??? LOL dont worry Retro been a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg week

[R. Rich]

LA Aztecs are on the clock.

[R. Rich]

The Rejects just took the guy I had projected as my starting LE. Oh well; back to the drawing board.

Aztecs are up.

:boring:

[Canadian'eh!]

jesus ****ing christ... why does everyone have to wait to the very last minute of their time slot to pick???? they know we are getting ahead of the times only to get slowed down because they don't PM their pick or check in any earlier to see what's up.

JESUS!

[Sportsuser101]

Probably best that you didn't get him because he plays RDE.

[R. Rich]

Probably best that you didn't get him because he plays RDE.


I would've switched him to the left side. He's an okay edge rusher, but not a great one. He is a pretty good pursuit end, though, which would bode well for him on the left side.

[parttimeplayer]

sorry it took so long i was not at a computer till now that i got to work

[Canadian'eh!]

sorry it took so long i was not at a computer till now that i got to work


:shutup:

[R. Rich]

Let's be civil, people.

parttimeplayer, it's entirely up to you if you want to submit a list of picks while you're off or if you wait until your slotted time to pick. The list would be appreciated, if you know for a fact that you won't be around at the time of your pick. Otherwise, just keep picking for yourself, as long as you make it before your time runs out.

[Michael82]

jesus ****ing christ... why does everyone have to wait to the very last minute of their time slot to pick???? they know we are getting ahead of the times only to get slowed down because they don't PM their pick or check in any earlier to see what's up.

JESUS!
We have time slots for a reason. Some people (me included) don't want to submit lists because we tend to change our picks based on what position is flying off the board. I prefer to be here myself and if it means that I don't pick 1-2 hours early, and instead pick at my time slot...that's fine. That's the reason we have time slots. :calm:

[parttimeplayer]

i ran into traffic so i ran late but i really am tying not to hold up the line

[Michael82]

Okay, so are you all ready to start the 11th, or do we want to adjourn until Monday?
Let's start it up. I'm ready.

[R. Rich]

What say you all?

[Canadian'eh!]

worst case scenario is someone doesn't check in during the entire draft weekend and we sit and wait until monday.

[Michael82]

Nice young DL line. Sweet.

Kerney - Henderson - Robertson - Kearse

Sacks: 31
Forced Fumbles: 4
Tackles: 227
INT: 1
It doesn't matter much, but Kerney and Kearse are both LDE's.

[Michael82]

Nice Pickup, Canadian'eh! I had him in mind and was only 3 picks away. :doh: :up:

[R. Rich]

You'd better.

[Canadian'eh!]

SWEET GOT MY GUY! i'm very very happy about this pick...

will witherspoon to play WLB... 100 tackles per year... only 24... 3 sacks and 4 INT's last year. can cover TE's.


still got steve foley... Foley as SLB 10 sacks last year 5 FF's and 2 picks...

I only worry about him playing my 4-3 after really finding his niche in the 3-4 last you a ROLB...

still... i am happy.

[The Spaz]

It doesn't matter much, but Kerney and Kearse are both LDE's.

Also they are both 30.

[Canadian'eh!]

Nice Pickup, Canadian'eh! I had him in mind and was only 3 picks away. :doh: :up:


mikey... hint there is a VERY similar OLB that wasw my 2nd coice... veyr very simial... the tiebreaker was witherspoon is 24 and he is 27.


now you can see why i traded up.

[Devin]

Also they are both 30.

Actually they are both 28 :)

Kearse = http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=4664

Kerney = http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=4679

[Sportsuser101]

Actually they are both 28 :)

Kearse = http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=4664

Kerney = http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=4679
I think he meant in 2 years they're going to be 30. :peace:

[Canadian'eh!]

Forney was high on my list... I've ignored the Oline far too long.

[R. Rich]

Mikey!!!

[The Spaz]

I think he meant in 2 years they're going to be 30. :peace:

Kearse will be 29 when the season starts.:snicker: :D:

[Canadian'eh!]

I think we will probably get stuck after Mikey... if not by Ry Jam than by Ally.... anyone want side bets???


I got Ryjam tomorrow during draft or ally on Monday... takers?

[Michael82]

Ally said that the weekend is the only time she is not working as much right now. She may be picking by tomorrow morning. :up:

[Sportsuser101]

And there goes the Priest..

[Canadian'eh!]

And there goes the Priest..


that's a great risk so long as you have a solid backup

[Canadian'eh!]

anyway... being draft weekend, i'm glad we got started... if ally checks in we can definately get ahead in this thing a bit.....

i will be sleeping tomorrow AM since i work until 7am... but i will be up around noon for the draft.

[ryjam282]

I have no problem taking him here. I will pay him for as long as he would like. You can't argue with 25 TD's a season.

[Ebenezer]

the draft may come to a grinding halt at my turn...it is my birthday this weekend and I might only be on for a very short time tomorrow.

[Canadian'eh!]

Happy Birthday eb... enjoy it.

[ryjam282]

Happy B-day.

[Michael82]

Hopefully the Bills pick the player that you want. :up:

Happy Birthday, man! :cheers: :party:

[Devin]

Send your pics!

and Happy bday of course :)

[Sportsuser101]

Happy Birthday!

[The Spaz]

Any takers that the dogs don't pick until 10:30am Monday Morning....

[RetroRaiders81]

I hope not.

[Devin]

Ugggghhhh.

[Canadian'eh!]

fantastic... i just got to work and i'm already tired.... it seems quiet in the ER for the moment... maybe i can sleep some tonight..... knock on wood.

[Canadian'eh!]

:nervous:


it's 2:30 am on friday and it shows here that Lindell Sucks was online recently.... he has posted or anything but I am getting mighty nervous.

:down:

[The Spaz]

and we're still waiting.

[Sportsuser101]

:nervous:

Screw him. If Lindell Sucks comes back I will no longer be in this league. Canadian has done a great job with his team and as far as I'm concerned its his team. I don't want a guy in here that doesn't live up to his responsibilities. If he does come back and takes over his team I won't be a part of the league. Nothing against you Eb because its a great league but I just don't feel its right that all the work that Canadian does and if Lindell Sucks wants it back he can have it back.

[Sportsuser101]

and we're still waiting.
Next team on the clock.. Mike Rucker is off the board. Nice pick.

[Sabre Ally]

SOmething HAS to be done for the people who consistently slow this draft down.... Chef and Ally specifically....

They shoud be required to leave lists with mods... this is rediculous... the draft will take all frigging year if we can't do more than 2 rounds a day due to this.

Excuse me???? I missed one ****ing time slot. Don't be such an *******. Most of the picks are happening ahead of the posted schedule.

[Sportsuser101]

lol jeez take it easy. Its not that big of a deal.

[L.A. Playa]

Happy Birthday Eb !!!!!!! and good morning owners

[Sabre Ally]

lol jeez take it easy. Its not that big of a deal.

Well, ya know, the draft was intended to take more than a month to complete. Eb set it up very well, and it offends me when one or two guys (not you) take it upon themselves to act like the draft should be run a different way and make it miserable for those of us who are trying to enjoy this. If Canadian'oh wants to draft 53 players in a week, he's in the wrong league. :peace:

Relax, everyone wants the draft to go faster because they don't want this to take 2 months. People are just excited about picking their teams.

[L.A. Playa]

Personally I think Eb has done a great job, but also I think alot of owners just want tofinish this up ASAP and I believe the compromise is just cheking in when you can and if your up make a pick, someone said it best there are 20 teams using 32 teams starting rosters so though its hard to be patient at times we all have to be patient enjoy everyone

[Sabre Ally]

Yeah, I'm excited about picking my team, too, but I'm not gonna start attacking other owners just because they don't make their picks 2 hours ahead of their scheduled time slot. :rolleyes:

That's the thing.... most of us were here, checked in early, or submit a list for 5-10 players for our pick ahead fo time because we know that we don't neccesarily have to stick to the time slot.

We keep getting ahead of the slots by 2-3 hours only getting stopped when somone waits until the last minute oft heir time slot.... kind of frustrating to everyone else who got the draft moving along nicely.

If you want to wait for you time slot every time then go ahead.... you are free to do so. Just thought you might want to have some curtosy for the other owners who end up waiting 2-3 hours for you to make your pick.

curtosy?? wth is that? not that you'd know anything about courtesy.

and btw....i have made most of my picks early, i have not waited for my time slot, so what exactly is your problem?

[Canadian'eh!]

I should ask what your problem is then.... If you normally make your picks early then there IS no problem.

Seriously, I just don't understand being called out like that for missing one time slot (Thursday evening). I guess a girl is just expected to give up her social life and rush home to the computer to make a pick even when she really needs a drink after a bad day at work, eh? My bad. Won't happen again.

:blamelog:

I'm not arguing.... I am in a bad mood due to lack of sleep...

i was just trying to suggest we ALL give a list of a couple picks so if we get on the clock and one of our top 5 guys is there they can just make the pick for us and move on..... otherwise, forget i said anything.

feel free to correct my grammer... i'm too tired to bother.

[Canadian'eh!]

Devin.... I don't think this is my pick.... 12:45 - 1:00 Canadian Radiation Kings

I have the current pick (#9) and #11 from retroraiders but not that later one... at least i don't think... i believe that may still belong to retroraiders..... can you double check that?

[Sabre Ally]

No problem. Good suggestion, actually, even for those of us who prefer to make our own picks. Hopefully work stress will ease up for both of us soon.

:cheers:

[Ebenezer]

ok...just checking in. I will make my pick soon.

One thing everybody needs to understand. We are trying the best we can. Devin and R. Rich have done an incredible job helping me out over the draft. Everybody is human and everybody is busy. Patience is the key here. Don't forget, once the draft is done I have to load all this stuff into the game. That will take a while in itself. We will get there. Once everything is ready to go all you have to do once a week is give me a lineup and then I sim the games. This is suppose to be the fun part of the league. Enjoy the ride. If anything, as I turn 40 today, the one thing I've learned is that it can be just as much or even more fun to do it once AND take all night than to take all night to do it once. :naughty:

[Devin]

lmao! well said.

Happy B-day dude!

[DraftBoy]

HAPPY BDAY EB!

and good pick

[Devin]

Draftboy your up next stick around :)

[DraftBoy]

I made my pick

[Devin]

Screaming Vikings are up.

[RetroRaiders81]
