I've got some personal buz. to do between 9-noon CDT (mrs is ill). I don't want to auto b-cause there are too many jewels still out there & Species is a jewel thief!. ;-)
Apologizing in advance for any delays.

ds,
I'm going on auto for now... if it wraps back to you in round 13 before I'm off auto would you please hold up for me? I'll try to check in periodically and get off auto once it's past me but worst case I should be back about 11pm EST.
Thanks...

I think we're all gettin' in a bit of hot water with the women.
I stayed at home trying to make a manual pick the other day and was an hour late picking up my girlfriend.....Boy did I hear about that one!
"aaahhh...hey honey you look great...ahhh...sorry...ahhhh.something came up that....ahhh....kept me longer....ahhhh...did I mention you look great honey..."
but even I'm not bold enough to use the 2 ugly words you did!

Blizzard is up again, if he's still "up" that is. I really wish I could have slept in this AM, I'm exhausted. Stayed up working on a stupid internet browser problem. Can't seem to run Explorer through AOL anymore for some reason. Reloaded windows, upgraded Explorer, checked for viruses, all with no luck. At least I can still get in through AOHell

lol - It's gonna cost me dinner tomorrow too, but it was worth a shot. I got the "look" for it. Hahaha, I should've know better after 23 yrs, but sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do. ;-)
StLCards - I was waiting on Pittman, but he got snagged. Some of the smaller jewels aren't worthy of the 11-12 round swing ATM. Kinda like Species snatching Mulder in baseball after round 20 (at least I hope there are a couple hiding out till round 15).
Not sure what's up with IE5. It's much more stable for me under '98 than Netscape. No AOLhell though. Maybe they're pushing Netscape since they bought'em.

Local CBS affiliate is showing it. The only real bright spot was Galloway on a couple of plays. He had an explosive screen for ~20yds and a nice deep out.
The QB option will get him killed IMO.

ksoze - I can probably go around 2x. Then stop on 12 and pause an hour or so. I hate to stop that draft JIC "you know who" decides to switch to manual. I'm out the door to mow the yard, but will check back in before 7PM CDT. Otherwise, I'm around and will keep the queue full. If we can keep this up, at least we'll get a few more players drafted before the hammer drops. If jerkwad gets Jamal, all the better IMO.

Let's go around to the end of round 17 and then stop at you before starting round 19 later on.
We can pause for today until those that want to manually pick the last 2 rounds or need to refresh their queue's can do so. We can restart later this afternoon or evening and get the last 2 rounds done after people check in.
I can live with the rounds we've gotten in the past couple of days and work the WW for the last 2 if we get "stopped" again. I never thought we'd get this far.
Jamal and Glynn's were grabbed up by our two buddies so we know some queue's are depeleted.

Sorry CanEHdian Pride, but I was surprised he was still there for the last round. I knew I couldn't get him on auto (due to empty spots elsewhere), but not a bad 20th pick if you ask me. A solid #2 starter that should hopefully have bigger numbers than last year.
