This is the absolute worst live draft I've ever done. Over 3 hours and we're not half way through it! What a piece of junk...err...crap...err bull.
At least the CBS draft the other day was fast, heck you barely had the 90 secs to draft. This thing is taking 6-8 min. to autopick! WTF?
Live and learn I guess. If anyone's interested in trying the fast live draft expericence again, I'm going to create a 12 team Sandbox league tomorrow which won't draft for at least a week, but at it'll be a fun experience for a change.
Preference will be given to the CNNSI coaches above NE1 else expressing interest.

Isn't this thing based on nfl.com? My experience with an nfl.com mock draft was less than desireable. At one point I went to autodraft to see what would happen and it timed out anyway. I sent an email with complaints/suggestions, but I doubt it even got read.

NFL.com and CNNSI are bastard clones of the CBS Commish.com software package. I had a hard time with the JAVA draft room the other day in CBS, but at least it was fast! This thing is killing me. Less than 10 rounds in 4.5 hrs.
There's a post in the baseball forum that says CBS Sportsline bought Sandbox. If they take over the 'box games, we're doomed to mediocrity. ;-(

I would be interested in a new draft. Let me know what you come up with. I was at the league site (CNN) and the teams are somewhat fare in comparision. Nice try everyone who attempted that fiasco last night.

I'd be interested in another try....time might be a problem for me as I will be traveling next week with limited access.
Thanks for everyone's efforts last night...special thanks to deepsnapper for all his league organization efforts.

Sorry for the cross-post, but I can't get to my CNNSI live draft AT ALL... no email, no link on the site... Can anyone give me the link they sent to to get to your draft (HTML or Java)? Maybe I can figure out how to get to my own draft that way. I have 2 more later today, even though I've already missed this one.

The first available Sandbox fast live draft date is Sept 26th. They're only doing 1x week for 3 weeks starting with that date. We won't get the first 3 games, but what the heck.
I'll get an email out tomorrow to the CNNSI league members and we'll go from there.
