The Barilko/Beezer situtation has stalled because Barilko has already kind of disappeared and we can't get him to confirm the arrangement with Beezer. If he doesn't want to split the load and let Beezer manage for just the one season we need to start over there.

Also Twarpy I have a feeling is out now, he hasn't gotten back to me but quit his other leagues yesterday. These Canadians are killing me :)

Giving them both til the weekend is over to get back in and then will figure it out.
I do think I have 2 more guys lined up resulting from the previous search but hopefully we don't need them. It would just be easier.

Shep's keepers:

RB - Matt Forte
WR - Roddy White
WR - Hakeem Nicks
WR - Mike Wallace
LB - Von Miller

I would trade one of my wideouts for another wideout just to mix it up...

Just curious, would we redo the dispersal draft with an additional 1-2 teams in the "pool" if we end up needing to add new replacement managers?
534Doug

Just thinking the existing new managers should hold off on trading if that's the case.

I'd think it would be more fair to just let them 2 do a dispersal draft of the 2 new abandoned teams?

The dispersal draft in the last situation was mainly because one team was really good and the other had very little keeper quality players and we didn't want to screw one team right off the bat... so we could probably leave it up to a coinflip. But I think a fair way would be to let the 2 new owners vote. If they both want to split it up and draft like wg/Frick did thats fine with me.

Hopefully one of Barilko or Twarpy return and we don't have to worry about it.

WG and I have agreed on the following:

Dwayne Bowe

-For-

Roddy White

No picks, straight up. (I'm bored of having the same 4 for the past 3 seasons!)

So the Barilko/Beezer situation could not be worked out and they both have decided to pull out... and Twarpy has still not responded so I'm done trying there.

I've got one guy lined up who I can recommend, and he's checking with a friend of his. I told him to make sure he knows its a multi-year commitment etc.
Since both of these teams are solid a simple coin flip should be adequate. Definitely been a tumultuous offseason for F101. Hopefully we can settle in now and start enjoying the season.

Well losing Studs (and subsequently his cousin) was kind of a 2-1. So that wasn't the end of the world and once Studs left part 2 was kind of expected.
Barilko got sent to Ecuador so who the heck can predict that. Thats just wacky and he hopes to return next year if there is a spot.
Twarpy apparently backed out of all leagues so it wasn't like he just didn't like our league or something.

This new guy Kyle (we'll have 2 Kyles now) is gonna be a bolt of energy, I'll tell you that... he's always making trade offers, trash talking etc. kind of a Blue Hen which is good to have in every league. Keeps it interesting.

As far as the last spot goes, hopefully his buddy takes it after initially expressing interest - cause I don't want to have to start another search.

I can't do anything til we get all the teams squared away. Should know the answer on the last spot tonight when I can talk to my buddy.
Then we need to get the rosters straightened out from the dispersal draft, run the lottery, I'll send out a treasury email and we'll have keepers due Sunday by midnight.

I may also need someone to enter trades/keepers into the system on Monday cause I'll be on the road and not sure what time I'll get back.

So I've confirm the last two spots are my buddy Kyle who I can vouch for and his friend he reccomended. They have even paid in advance!

I am travelling today but tomorrow I'll do a coin flip for their teams and will send them their league rules etc. I am also updating the league constitution for everyone and will blast that out once I get things squared away.

We are still set to draft Monday 9:30 which is the best date I could come up with. Our 1 concern is getting as much possible done in 1 hour cause Wiggs needs to leave for work after 1 hour at 10:30. I have set the time limit down a bit to 1 minute which I think is reasonable and hope everyone can use que's etc to really keep things moving. Hopefully Wiggs will only miss the last few rounds and can just que up best available players before leaving. I think we should be ok.

Like I said, its normally easy - first year with significant turnover which made it difficult. And these last 2 caught us offguard cause they both indicated in the offseason they'd be back.

I do think I am gonna put up for vote the permanent draft date of Tuesday before the season starts at 9 PM. Do you think thats unreasonable to just lock it in every year and be there or else... if people know in advance thats definitley when it is then maybe we can be better prepared.

Heads - Kyle K = Twarpy's team, Matt = Barilko's team

Tails - Kyle K = Barilko's team, Matt = Twarpy's team

Gonna get an independent player to give us a heads or tails tonight so I can knock all this out tomorrow. Results will be above.

Yah. Once everyone enters their keepers and the deadline passes. The commish is then allowed to review and adjust before committing the keepers. Then I think you can do custome draft

Frick, WG and anyone who made off season deals (and can't "keep" the correct players) just check the ones that are correct on your page and after that much processes I'll go in and correct the wrong ones.

If you have all your keepers able to be checked, make sure they are all checked off by Sunday at 11:59 PM EST.
