Drafting is done and the waivers have already run once, so I suppose we should open it up to the regular season discussion.

Great discussion on The Pats and Raiders WR corps that is ongoing. Feel free to continue it here.

As a recap, here are our threads this year:

The other effect I've noticed so far is that it's making it harder to trade. I feel I have at least 9 keeper-caliber players on my team... so I can't trade away Terry Glenn for an unproven rookie with upside, since that rookie will likely no longer make my keeper cut when we only keep 8... rendering the trade worthless if I'm trying to build for next year... which ironically was the supposed motivation for the change (to help teams build/improve more easily from year to year). So I think it's kinda frustrating in that regard. I'm ok with it though... just making the observation that there appear to have been unintended consequences, at least in my case.

Agreed Doug, I've run into that three times this week alone. Just frustrating when we try and create a trade-friendly, activity-friendly leagues so you have all kinds of options to improve now or later and this year seems to be harder than ever. Every single year I've had QBs go down with injuries and I've been able to trade to get QBs, cover bye weeks, cover other injuries, etc, but this year has been rough.

Everyone needs to check their schedule. We made the schedule and tried to double check every team--actually we did double check it, but obviously we missed something.

So today, I had to make a schedule change after Doug informed me that he was playing two games this week! Fortunately as Doug and I looked, we found a team that didn't have a matchup this week in TB's Ravens and confirmed that this was truly the team that was supposed to play this week so that was fixed.

Before the change:
cincy ws at oakland and the broncos were at oakland as well. Now broncos are still at oakland but the ravens are now at bengals.

So TB and Doug missed this previously in their schedules and mbj had already played Doug. It was obviously the commishs' fault, but please everyone check your schedules again.

According to Cards,

Coyotes, PD, Pete, SW, TB are all out of the pick'ems. That means there is 19 in and payout will be $19.

As far as the mian pool goes, TB misunderstood our prize pool policy last year in his first year in and he has asked to be forever removed. After discussions, Cards and I decided to grant his request. So TB and PD are out of the prize pool.

As I stated last year, I hate that Pick-ems winner made more than 4 pf the playoff teams and I said I was going to bolster some of the lower placings. With TB out, that had a ripple effect but still wanted to go ahead with that plan. Cards has approved this payout. We wanted to hold up on posting it until league monies were paid. I'm assuming that is complete by now so here is the proposed payouts:

22 in for 330
1st: 100
2nd: 60
3rd: 42.50
4th:32.50
5th:30.00
6th:22.50
7th: 17.50
8th: 15
Best Regular Season Record: 10

Thoughts were to pay more for 5th place then teh average step because that team will have won two playoff games after losing the first. 4th place wins teh first but loses the next two so just a smidge more for going farther in the playoffs.

Let us know if there any objections.

Greetings x-G24 compadres!

Hey, I got some e-mails today for "on the block" stuff which I assume is because my e-mail addy is still in one of the ownership forms.

When you get a chance, feel free to delete me.

I hope the league is running well. Sorry I was unable to leave the Steelers in better shape (Priest and all...)

Hey rfs, good to 'see' you. Not sure why you would be getting emails as you aren't in there anywhere that I can see. They must store the addresses somewhere as there are some screwy things that happen with the league email, like not being able to send out a league wide email. Hopefully it isn't too much of a problem for you and it should hopefully quit next year when they update, but who knows.

Your old team the Steelers has been moved to NY and is now the Jets and actually has a record of 2-1 now!

I looked all over the site in settings, commish access and everywhere your email adress might be found and came up empty. I have emailed CBS for assistance. Wondering if they just have that address on file as that is what we used to set up the original league with or whatever.

Sorry, Ref. Might as well write this week off. Don't worry. You will win most weeks without a QB thanks to your Giants trio as long as they are healthy.

Anyone in need of a K to cover bye weeks in the near future, I will trade Nedney for a WR3/RB3 type player.

I thought I had that game won easily and then saw Westbrook didn't start. Thankfully there were no blocked kicks or negative stats so I squeaked out a win. Hopefully that is a sign of good things to come!

I am still looking for a QB and a bye week Def and K.

Have had several inquiries about Porter and Hagan. Might be willing to move them but if I can't improve then they will likley be held as both could be impact players in the future. Rebuilding seems the obvious choice for me, but will look at all offers.

Thanks PD. I've gotten several emails this week. Most of them very fair and a couple of them I am leaning toward doing but need to make another deal first. I have been offered QBs, Ks, DSTs, along with other positions. Impossible to get all your needs in one trade--esp. when you need them all the same week! I have some 2 for 1s and 3 for 2s but I don't want to drop anyone. So looking to make a move before I do one of those. May move Porter and Hagan in the same deal if I can fill a need. Would rather keep both as I just can't fathom Porter being inactive all year. Surely he will be moved to Detroit, Jax or the like.

I've still got Terry Glenn on the block for anyone lookng to make a push. He's rated WR #11 this week by FBG, and #12 by Rotowire.

I guess we'll see how he does this weekend... it'll probably affect how much trade interest I get next week! =-)

Lots of things went wrong for me this week, or I should say more things went right for Doug's Raiders. Bledosoe's stupid INT for a TD on the last play of the game alone cost me 11pts to Doug's Phi DST. 6pts for the DTD, 2pts INT, and 3pts had the Cowboys scored there. LT's inability to run the ball let Turner rack up 56ru yds while Barlow for me had negative yds in rushing and receiving! Wonder if that's a first in this game?

Not looking good if Barlow, Brown, and Anderson all remain backups and Lloyd never gets any looks. Looks like I'm going from 1st to missing the playoffs this year. Ready to make some deals, so let me know if I have any of your favorite players on my team.

Recently acquired San Fran kicker Joe Nedney is available for anyone who needs a bye week filler and he comes fairly cheap. A late round pick next year or any player with some kind of value.

I would also be willing to trade him and another player (Bell/Gado/Green/etc.) for an upgrade on defense.

That "recently acquired Kicker" was good for getting you a win this week. I picked AF I think in Pick-ems as you didn't have a K when I left on Saturday. I could have won w/o my trades. Blah.

Anyhow, I have a DST if anyone needs one for a bye week. Also have Gramatica if Vinatieri continues to sit out.

Yeah, I'd appreciate half of that win to be credited to my record. Unfortunately the trade didn't help my team win since a certain defense scored over 40 points which was nearly my team's total. It's funny, after making the last minute trade, I changed the pick 'ems to my team winning, but I left the Falcons pick as I still thought they would just eek it out. Could have gotten two more right and probably increased my lead.
