Heh I dunno why but I forget football things really easily. I look at a guy thinking he was a rookie last year and he was a rookie two years ago, or sometimes three years ago! It all melds together. I do better with baseball for some reason.
So why did he retire? Just cuz he sucked last year?

I think taking Portis now was a good pick. If you wouldnt have I would of. Terrell Davis IS done, he's been done, this just confirmed it. Portis wont quite have the same line he had at Miami but he should get PT which equates into points for a back.

IMPORTANT, IMPORTANT: guys, since in the week end the draft will hault, we should need to set another "online meeting" to speed it up and draft a certain number of rounds. I hope that everybody will agree and try to be online in a chatroom similiar to the first one. The day should be friday or the day before, according to everybody's convenience.....post here your comment to this, and please try everything to be with us in that day....thanks.

Umm I can do it this Friday ... but then on the weekend I have a wedding so I have no idea if I'll have access to a comp in this small town called Belleville (Gino Romeo u might know the town ;) I'll try to get my bro to draft for me if not I might have to leave a que for the day and a half ... hopefully we can all meet sometime Friday or earlier so we can get a good solid chunk of rounds done. So far everyone has been drafting pretty swiftly so hopefully we can get this done!! Good luck everyone!

ATTENTION
The draft will be STOPPED this Friday through Sunday. I now have 5 managers who will be out of town and busy. I think the draft is moving fast enough that this 3 day stoppage will not cause any delay.

We can get together sometime next week for a live draft and possibly get through a few rounds but it isnt necessary. If everyone in the league is available and is up to live drafting, I'll do it, but I'm not going to force anyone.

I don't know where you got a yes for me, but I'm definitely a no. I leave tomorrow for Utah and may have occasional access through Friday, but I'm not sure so I'm leaving a monster queue with Derek. Maybe that's why I'm listed as "yes", since Derek will be picking for me. Anyway, I won't have regular email access again until I get back to California... about August 26th (depending on how many days we take to finish the race... earlier if we're fast!).

Doug, when you state that you will be leaving a queue with me for the rest of the draft, I assume that means I'll have your full list by Tuesday. You also stated that you would be in the middle of nowhere so I assumed no computer access which led to a queue the rest of the way.

Anyways, either way I would assume we would be completed by the 26th...

Broncos | Gary Still Not Perfect - posted at KFFL (http://nfl.kffl.com)
7:17 PT: The Denver Post reports Denver Broncos RB Olandis Gary (leg) has been moved up on the team’s depth chart as the starting RB, but he still isn’t back at full strength. “He’s definitely not 100 percent,” said running backs coach Bobby Turner. “How long that’s going to take to get there, I don’t know.”

I guess Clinton Portis wont be the teams starting back for the beginning of the season...

Man that situation is way 2 cloudy in Denver ... 4 potential starters and every other day there's a chance one or the other will be the starter ... I'm staying away from that whole situation unless it becomes clear who will be the featured back.

dwfffan, the clock runs from 10am EST - 1am EST. You started on the clock at 10pm EST therefore your time ran out at midnight. 2 hours is 2 hours, it doesnt matter if we get 10 people further or none. I did have Art's queue so we could've went further, but I decided to let him use the clock, so in actuality we could've progressed further but I decided against it.

I sort of came up with the name myself; it isnt mentioned word for word in any epsiode. The idea came from the episode that Kramer moves down to Florida to live in Del Boca Vista, the retirement community that Jerry's parents live in. Morty convinces Kramer to run for condo president, because Morty can run anymore (he was impeached and thrown out). Morty wants to set up Kramer as a puppet leader and "pull the strings" from the background. IIRC, Jerry calls the idea a puppet regime.

Im not sure I understand why wiggs gets 4 consecutive hours to make these picks. Its obvious that he should get 4 total hours, but I think he should be penalized for missing his pick in round 19. I dont think he should get preferntial treatment because he has back to back picks.

Yeah it sucks, it keeps holding up the draft and then everyone else gets impatient and leaves and only check in once in awhile and it just slows the whole day down. That's like the 4th time I remember now we were FlYiNg through picks super fast until it came to the dog and next thing u know the draft has slowed to a crawl again ... I think after 2 hours he should lose 1 of the two picks (commish picks for him) it's not fair to the rest of us who are always checking in and trying to keep this thing moving ... just my cheap 2 cents

1 more hour left...6:30 time expires.

To what benefit would it be to split the 4 hours up into 2 & 2? How could it ever possibly benefit the rest of the league? I have clearly stated before the draft took place that 2 hours is the limit but not the deciding factor. If the manager who's time has expired makes a pick before the next managers makes a pick, so be it. (That is how the NFL draft works guys)

Therefore with back-2-back picks, the next managers (which would be himself) wouldnt make a pick therefore he can use the full 4 hours for both of his picks. Like it or not, thats how it is.

I feel a lot of people are getting upset at me for making picks for them. The rules are the rules. You should be mad at yourself, not me. I'm just enforcing the rules. Every manager had an equal opportunity to set these rules so there should be no complaints. If you dont like your auto-selection, to bad. Be on time with your selections and no picks will be made.

Seriously, I'm tired of the crying...

it's not crying, it's a legimate question

if I get 2 hours for one pick it should apply to him too. doesn't matter if their back to back or not

the benefit is that everyone falls under the same rules

I'm not trying to make a big thing out of this. in the grand scheme of things this is small I know but it's just a matter of principal the way I see it.

basically it's your call. I'm just giving my 2 cents on something that came up on the board.

and for the I'm not mad at jyd or you for any of this or that you pick players. like I said above I missed my pick, I know the rules, I'm taking what I was given.

I just don't want to see something like this blown out of proportion.

On a side note, isnt it funny how all 11 managers are impatient when someone is using the full time but when their time expires they complain that a pick was made. Its a double standard. I havent played favorites to any manager. Today I made 2 selections for Ike (who is my best friend). To be honest, I feel every auto-selection made was a solid pick and will benefit your team. It may not fit into your strategy/scheme but I am not a mindreader. How hard is it to leave a 2 man queue? No one can sit here and tell me they dont have atleast 2 players they want before it is their pick.

mike, and I am respectful of you for not complaining. It is valid to raise a question such as this but to raise it in terms of 'payback' is not acceptable and that is how I feel this issue has arose.

Think of it like this. The manager who only has a single pick, and gets 2 hours, can miss his turn and only pay the penalty for missing one pick. The manager who has back-2-back picks misses his turn and he gets penalized 2 picks. That isnt fair either. You really dont think these 2 balance out? I still do not understand how it would benefit the league to not combine both 2 hour picks and I dont think equality is a valid issue.

I was not crying either, just thought a trend was developing and wanted you to state the rule for me. I realize I missed a pick, and for that I will take the penilty. And yes you were fair with the selection. (Not in my plans, but fair enough)

Of course my opinion is worthless but I agree with Mike (sorry big D) I have never missed a pick (thank God) but I can understand why someone would be upset ... essentially JYD is getting 4 hours (6 at one point) every time his pick comes up ... and if he shows up with 1 minute left in that 4 hours he isn't penalized in any way ...meanwhile EVERYONE else in the draft has 2 hours or else they are penalized by having the commish pick for them (even if it is a great pick it is still a penalty because it was not YOUR pick) In essence I think everyone is upset because they maybe missed there pick by a few minutes or even an hour but had they been JYD they would not have. I agree that if he is not here after 2 hours he should lose a pick ... even though the next manager picking is himself that has nothing to do with it ...others have and will be penalized for being a few minutes late while he is getting a definate advantage ... he gets more time to think ...more time to study ...more time to read updates ...more time to get some sleeper tips more time to take a dump, ha whatever the case may be.... AND he is also not losing anything whatsoever by taking his sweet time. Not a big thing, it really doesn't bother me at all because I have not missed a pick but I can definately understand why others think it's unfair ...again ...just my cheap 2 cents.

business certainly is picking up here on the message board :)

probably going to have a couple of different posts to reply to

269-270-I think we have a mix up in communication here. I don't see it as a matter of payback. like I've said if you miss your pick tough for you. we set the rules and now live with them. you don't have a right to bitch or cry or whatever on who was picked for you.

however it is a matter of fairness. you said...

Think of it like this. The manager who only has a single pick, and gets 2 hours, can miss his turn and only pay the penalty for missing one pick. The manager who has back-2-back picks misses his turn and he gets penalized 2 picks. That isnt fair either. You really dont think these 2 balance out? I still do not understand how it would benefit the league to not combine both 2 hour picks and I dont think equality is a valid issue."

we're not saying he should 2 hours for both picks. we're saying after 2 hours you select one player for him. then he's back on the clock for a 2nd 2 hours. that passes up then you select again. we can't bank time from one of our picks onto our next round pick. but the turn around guys can swoop in at 3:50 and make 2 picks. he should be penalized the one pick he did miss for the first 2 hours.

now this may of all been covered, I'm about 10 posts behind, but just want to straighten out what I read as a mix up in intent on us that brought up the questions. more from me I'm sure in a second...

so can I ask why the switch now to the 6 pick drop? is it because of the complaining?

Reasons for switching to the 6 pick penalty
- We are far enough into the draft that a 6 pick penalty isnt quite the issue it was in the beginning rounds.
- I'm sick and tired of making picks for people and they complain
- Dropping six spots is easier for me

great...Art left me his phone # on AIM so I could call him when it was his turn. Here my sister rebooted my computer while I was at work and his phone number was lost.

He said he would be checking in sometime tonight. I have to shut off the clock for his pick since this is my fault. Hopefully he checks in sooner rather than later!

Sorry for this inconvenience :(

I really think this is BS. Im not content to agree to disagree. JYD potentially has 3:59:59 to make one pick, while everyone else has 2 hours. That simply is not fair. There is no reason his picks should be lumped together. No reason whatsoever.

Say if his clock for pick 30.12 starts at 1pm. If 3pm rolls around and he still hasnt picked, his 30.12 pick should be dropped 6 spots. Then the clock starts for his 31.1 pick. If 5pm rolls around, then that pick should also be dropped 6 spots.

Im not trying to be personal, but everyone except for Derek thinks JYD has an unfair (and illegal, according to the rules Derek has stated) advantage. I dont think its fair for the unanimous opinion of the league to be overruled by the commissioner.

2 hours should be 2 hours, not 3:59:59.

dgrooves, a lot of errors...

JYD potentially has 3:59:59 to make TWO picks. 4:00/2 = 2:00

The rules state that this is LEGAL not illegal.

You state that it is unfair but do not give an explanation. You state that he has an unfair advantage, but dont explain.

Either way, even if you were correct, it is to late to change. You CANT change the rules in the middle of a draft. That is UNFAIR.

Btw, I dont think you have a unamimous decision. If you really want to take a vote on this, I'm sure I can come up with 5 votes...

No, no errors.

Potentially, he has 3:59:59 to make 1 pick and 1 second to make the other pick. A less extreme example is his picks in rounds 17 and 18. He took more than 2 hours to make his round 17 pick. If I, or anyone else in the league, had done this, we would have been penalized or had our pick made for us.

Where in the rules does it say that the person(s) with back to back picks has more than 2 hours to make a pick? I thought the rule was "2 hours is 2 hours"?

This situation (JYD having 4 consecutive hours to make 2 picks) is unfair because he can take longer than 2 hours to make the first pick.

It is not too late to change because nothing needs to be changed. All that has to happen is the rules be followed.

You may have 5 votes, but none of those 5 have said anything so far (unless you're one of them).

Copied and pasted from Draft Rules located under league scoring (Was previously on the main page).

If 2 hours passes and a manager has not made a pick or left a 2+ man queue the next person on the draft list can pick. The manager who is being passed over can pick after that 2 hour clock has expired as long as the next person on the board does not make his pick first. If the next manager makes his pick before the original manager (who’s time expired) returns, the original manager will be penalized

Please let me know how what wiggs is doing is illegal to the rules that were set prior to the draft and draft order. I dont like that you are trying to imply that I am intentionally giving wiggs a fair advantage. Why would I be? I've already made 2 picks for him and suspended him for 2 picks. Regaurdless of us disagreeing, its rather rude to me to imply that I am purposefully giving wiggs an advantage.

Like I've stated. We cant change the rules in the middle of the draft. Period the end. I'm not willing to budge on this.

One last thing, each auto-pick was made well after the 2 hours had expired. I even gave you 3 hours last night. So to say that I am giving wiggs 2:15 (or whatever) and giving everyone else 2:00 is a downright lie.

Ok, I had not read that part of the rules. If I had, maybe I would have brought up this issue, but who cares now.

I agree that the rules should not be changed during the draft so Im willing to the let the issue die.

One more thing...you gave me 3 hours? I thought I picked during the day yesterday.

damn guys, we still are at 2/3 of the draft and we're just starting to create personal battles....this will be a huge league in fact of competitivity......anyway, calm ourself and take it easy.....i personally was angry with the 4 hours thing, but, hey, we've still a lot of time untill season starts, so if anyone has problems let's just try to help him, not to penalize him. I find really fair to try to understand other's problems, because we all have different lifes and timing problems, so let's just try to end the draft in the better way possible to set a great competition......we've to stay together for a long time hopefully!!!! derek i deleted my other thread.....excuse me, i just wanted to make it easier for you....

LAZIO, I understand. I'm not upset with you and I dont want it to sound controlling but everything stays much neater when I create links in the topic. If you want to create a new thread (Part V, when needed) feel free to. Just make sure you include the links at the top ;)
