Draft Discussion Thread
Welcome ot our 8th season!
Waivers have been turned on and he season is underway. You all should have gotten an email. CBS no longer allows waivers to run in the preseason on any day. It makes sense as waivers never need to be run on a Mon or Tues during the season. Anyhow, waivers will run for the first time on change of day on Tues/Wed which is about 2 am on Wed. If you want to make a waiver claim, it needs to be in before that time. FAs will open up after that time.
Please post all draft recaps or draft specific comments in the draft discussion thread for now. |

Congrats Judy, making an Arizona type run with Arizona... those wacky defensive plays got me in the final in another league, so I was cheering right along with you. Good luck this week. Its my 30th birthday weekend too, so hopefully that brings some extra luck along with it.

Yeah --
DS, you left 64.16 on your bench; If you notice, there is not much left on my bench (9.2) -- my
"regulars" need to do all the work -- and to my great glee, they did just enough -- although the Jints
did step it up a bit and that was NICE!!

Good luck, Judy! A win will be an appropropriate slap in the face to those who dumped on you for your trades, saying that they were dumb and too homer.
Whoever those people were. I actually don't remember now. Boy am I glad I am not like those dumb people ;)

Props to GO & Judy.
Yeah, I should have started Cromartie even with the Qust. tag. You just never know with kickers - Feely got 18 last week & Reed 7. but I should have danced with the guy who brought me (Cromartie) instead of Williams (11 pt swing). Now Westbrook is going to play this weekend. lol
It just justifies why my first move in joining the league was to change the name of my franschsie from the Redskins to Eagles.
Props again on the wins guy & gal. ;)

Want your team to be called the AZ Cardinals next season? I'd love to be called the Iggles!
(I did not start Cromartie in RIFC, but fortunately it did not hurt -- these Q and game time injuries
are killers! I am assuming the Dumervil's toe also bothered him -0.5 points c'mon man!)
I wonder how much they will use Westie next week. I am certain he will start and they will involve
him, but how much will he play? I have both him and Shady in RIFC contending for the 5/6 spot...

and now 31 points to CAR? Will they break their season high of minus (-) 7.5 points for DST?
Looks that way.
Meanwhile, the Jets have 5 TD's (1 for QB, and 1 each for the other IOP starters.)
I don't think that D Jack and McNabb can overcome that...
Pitiful.

Been at a wake all day so didn't get to enjoy any of this, but just checked in and looks like I got things done. I did bench Jets D and start Cleveland which took some guts, so all that Jets fun wasn't enjoyed, but as a Jets fan I did enjoy it. Looks like Heap was a difference maker again.

But unfortunately being at a funeral home all day with no internet cost me a big $ league where I had Steve Jackson in my flex spot. Unless Adrian goes completely nuts tomorrow night (down 42 points but I have Sidney Rice + Adrian). I would have swapped in Collie for 12 points, and would be down 30 going into tomorrow instead. So either way, I just don't want to lose by less than 12 because that will really hurt.

Props to GO for winning the 2009 championship . I don't think the h2h between 2 IDP's will make up the 40 pt. difference. Also props to Judy for 2nd place in her 1st season in the league. Now all I need is AD to play like AD normally does and Favre to play nice with the coach and I can protect that 2.4 pt lead for 3rd over Ref. ;)
[504] Promise, I believe Yahoo has cleared up the hack on my deepsnapper account. I haven't been able to access my account for almost 2 weeks to change the password and they finally shut the account down last week and purged it. I had a pretty easy p/w so it may have been my fault.
No one should get anything from the Yahoo account as it's mainly used for sports reports & old contacts. I've moved almost all active teams to the Verizon.net IDs. I did return messages yesterday to those who'd replied about the weird messages. I did get a couple from people I hadn't heard from in years. lol
If anyone else gets one, please don't open the link and reply it back to me so I can turn it over to Yahoo.

Congrats to GO and the Jets.
The McNabb/ D Jack combo was slowed down a bit in the second half (as was the entire
Iggles offense) and was not enough to overcome your stellar collection of IOP's. At least it
became a bit more competitive -- for a while there I was down 70 points. The Jints DST
which won me the semifinal with 24 points, hurt me in this match up as they laid down and
just died with minus (!) 5.5 points. Ugly.
Ref -- thanks for the invitation to this league -- I had fun, although my final position is one
of pure dumb luck and my Iggles!

PLAYOFF LEAGUE
I set up a playoff league for RIFC folks through MFL in which each player gets used once
throughout. I've set it up with 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 PK and 1 DST. As far as I can tell, we can
have as many teams as we want. I set the scoring to match the RIFC set up.
Do we want any IDP's? I was thinking of 1 DL, 1 LB and 1 DB??? Chime in with thoughts. It might
make it too "messy".
If you want an invitation, my email is listed.

So the other league... managed to get 42 points I needed from Adrian and Rice and stepped in the lead by 1, until AD fumbled in OT and took it back away. So doubly cruel, I should have won easily if not for the funeral... and then they found a way for me to miraculously be winning in OT - and then take it away. What a birthday!

Also looks like there was a tie in pick-ems. After blwoing last week, I made up the point I needed to tie Doug at 206 after throwing out our low weeks of weeks 1-13. I will look over everything at a later time. Just made time to adjsut scoring and see who won pick-ems.

I just noticed the "Power Poll" and it looks like I was able to sweep all the categories of that poll for a perfect 72 score which is awesome. Its not often most points wins the thing, or they do but have a crappy record to go with it. Pretty proud of that consistency.

Will figure out base draft order and clear out ineligible keepers on playoff teams soon. Will also start working on franchise standings as well. It takes a LONG time to get the opponents H2H records done so that will be the last thing I work on.

Thanks all. Miles Austin was probably the biggest key I think, taking me from a team with 3 good players which a lot of us have and deepening it to 5-6 good starters. Also, being able to manage your team during the playoffs I thought was big too, since I was able to continue to work on things and make adjustments, plugging in Ganther one week when I needed every point. Picking up the Browns D for the Super Bowl, working in Hartley (or the ability to add any kicker at that time frankly) when Rackers came up lame and missed a week. It always seemed odd to me that we froze transactions during the playoffs and you just had to hope nobody got hurt. It seemed strange that we were changing the rules and basically playing an entirely different game for those 3 weeks. Todd Heap deserves some credit too, after I tried to trade for a TE all season long to upgrade him, turns out he was all I needed with 4 TD's the last two weeks of the playoffs. Heck, he finished only 10 points behind Witten for the season lol... sometimes the luckiest trades are the ones that don't get done. And now I've still got a 1st round pick too which is what I was trying to sell.

Went through and dropped all players acquired after end of reg. season.
Going to go game by game and figure out record vs. opponents and re-work recrod book so it's easier to follow. If you can think of any other records you might like to add, let me know.
Also, there were some rule changes/tweaks mentioned toward the end of the regular season. Let me know if you want to persue those now or wait.
As far as team openings go. We know we will need at least one new owner--maybe two. If we do have a vote now and it is close enough that a change (or additional owner since those teams might not even cast a vote) then I suggest we'd bring it back up when we have 24 owners who will be playing for sure. If there is opposition to a proposed rule change and we have a vote, tweaks require a majority to change while a major rule change requires 2/3 majority to change.

Thanks all. I've got a bit of a logjam at WR and will be looking to trade Austin, Cotchery or Santonio this offseason. So if anyone is interested in coming after some of these guys let me know. I'd package 2 of them for 1 player, a good TE or perhaps a draft pick.

I would guess it would have to be a 1st to consider a draft pick only, cause thats a player of comprable value. I have the 24th pick too, so I might look at packaging that along with one of those guys to get up into the top 5 or so.

Well for thinner teams, I think the 2-1 option would make more sense. Like I said before, I found my depth to be a huge asset since I was able to cover all byes for the most part and was able to absorb injuries and play matchups. But I'm not sure I can keep everyone right now.

I renewed the site for 2010. Was able to take advantage of the early bird discount code for the $149.99 price. If anybody is starting a new league or knows of somebody starting one they can use this discount code to get 50% off. It only applies to new leagues. If anyone uses the referral code to start a new league it will give our league a significant rebate that will of course be passed along to the whole league. Feel free to pass the code around as you see fit.

bj21 will be unable to continue with his team. I've already had someone ask for a team.
We have not gone through to evaulate teams from last season before re-inviting, but if any of you are not coming back or know of someone who might be a good fit, let me know.
