Wow...this draft is flying. That is really helpfull because Psycho and I will be leaving the country for Mexico next Friday morning and will not return 'till the night of the 6th. I know I am the one that held the trigger without pulling it in order to get our vacationers back home and then deal with the ever tricky goat locker scenario. I did see a noon today post from Cliff in another draft thread...let's hope he is back..or at least give someone a que. | ||||||
| 3 | Taxman SuperDude ID: 029463114 Fri, Aug 20, 2004, 15:58 | Does anyone have a clue on how to contact Cliff (GoatLocker) He has not answered any of my e-mails. Maybe I have the wrong address. He is posting in the RIFC draft thread...but not here and not responding????? | ||||||
| 4 | philflyboy ID: 377592017 Fri, Aug 20, 2004, 18:59 |
if anyone wants to email me a queue I will be around most of the weekend. We can keep this this rolling. Just put in the header it is a queue and I won't look at it unless it is your turn to pick. Also post here so that we know you have seen this thread | ||||||
| 5 | deepsnapper Sustainer ID: 017103420 Fri, Aug 20, 2004, 19:37 |
I've been looking for this thing in the football forum. what a dumbass | ||||||
| 6 | blackjackis21 Leader ID: 34837521 Fri, Aug 20, 2004, 21:36 | I won't have computer access over the weekend, but Dave R is planning to give me a call when it's my pick and fill me in on who's been taken. He claims he doesn't have anything else to do this weekend except golf, so hopefully it won't hold anything up. | ||||||

I'm on the road and all fouled up. Where are we doing this draft at. Thought it was KKBs site, but not showing up in my draft list. Cliff | ||||||
| 8 | philflyboy ID: 377592017 Fri, Aug 20, 2004, 23:22 | I am off to bed. I will pick around 7am ET if it is my pick by then. | ||||||
| 9 | blackjackis21 Leader ID: 34837521 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 00:18 | Oops - looks like Jeff Garcia's a repeat. | ||||||
| 10 | Perm Dude ID: 2343587 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 00:24 | I'll be on around 9 or so, but won't be on too much in the afternoon. Hopefully I'll get my two picks in and then it'll be back to you fellers the rest of the day. | ||||||
| 11 | philflyboy ID: 58736215 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 06:39 | Not sure what I should do here. Msnapp needs to repick because he picked a taken player. Should I wait and let him repick or should I pick and let him catch up later? I will post for KKB to remove the pick. | ||||||
| 12 | GoatLocker ID: 427272213 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 12:11 |
OK all, I'm here and in. Will need to send a queue later. Somebody available, please let me know. Will be home mid-day tomorrow. Sorry for the confusion and hold-up. Cliff | ||||||
| 13 | Dr. Doom Donor ID: 052328812 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 12:20 | Cliff, I'll be around. | ||||||
| 14 | Perm Dude ID: 2343587 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 13:17 | I couldn't believe Henry was still around. Thank goodness--I needed another good running back. | ||||||
| 15 | Taxman SuperDude ID: 029463114 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 13:28 | PD...Henry is gone i took him but put the name in backwards...make two picks now....we will get KKB to fix it | ||||||
| 16 | Perm Dude ID: 2343587 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 13:30 |
Crap. Now I'm in a pickle. I would have chosen Bennett if Henry wasn't available. Mumblemumblemumble. Give me a minute. | ||||||
| 17 | Perm Dude ID: 2343587 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 13:37 | I'll take Derrick Mason, Taxman. | ||||||
| 18 | Taxman SuperDude ID: 029463114 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 13:38 |
Every please note that I am going into a client meeting for the next two hours...someone write KKB if they have a chance | ||||||
| 19 | deepsnapper Sustainer ID: 017103420 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 17:26 | need about 20 to catchup and I'll pik | ||||||
| 20 | deepsnapper Sustainer ID: 017103420 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 18:12 |
When you see the Stop sign on the screen after hitting submit on your draft pick, you need to check the spelling of the player's name and not hit submit again. Links to Yahoo are right below the Red Stop Sign.  On The Clock Stop Sign error page | ||||||
| 21 | Perm Dude ID: 2343587 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 18:13 | Yeah, I have to admit to being a little miffed about this. Basically, I lost the chance at Bennett because of it. | ||||||
| 22 | Taxman SuperDude ID: 029463114 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 18:40 |
I have such an appreciation for Dave (Guru) everytime I try to get a league organized and complete a draft. Dave runs a seemless operations as a league commish, keeps the rotoguru.com boards functioning smoothly, as a well as compassionately policed, develops fun games, reports standings daily, maintains a personally competitive status in most sports (he does run for cover during hockey season...wimp) and accomplishes such because of undoubtedly impeccable organizational skills and 3 hours sleep. I'm not organized, attempting to grow a new business (remember that description of a boat as that hole in the water that you throw money into....my "new" business venture is a hole in my life that I throw time into) and I sleep and eat a combined 9 hours a day...leaving no time to be competitive in any of the sports and be lousy at performing commish duties for running drafts. So I'm sorry already. Fortunately, this is not new news to most of you. Now that you've read all this drivel, here is the latest screw up. At pick 4.03 I picked Henry Travis (distant relative of William Barrett Travis, commander at the Alamo) PD (thinking the Alamo was actually a large Taco Bell) drafted Travis Henry PD then as a replacement pick took Derrick Mason. Thanks for the stop sign Roy. Which brings up another point. A glitch in the draft program seems to be that when I have been drafting for Cliff and David Hamm, even when I get the name right, I still get the stop sign. Thus I have been ignoring the Stop Sign including, apparently, when I draft for myself. | ||||||
| 23 | Taxman SuperDude ID: 029463114 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 19:28 | WE are stopped until the Guru repicks | ||||||
| 24 | Guru ID: 330592710 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 19:41 | I'll take Koren Robinson (unless someone else has taken Robinson Koren). | ||||||
| 25 | Taxman SuperDude ID: 029463114 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 20:52 |
We are going to shut down until Fred can make the correction for pick 5.09 to reflect the choice of Koren Robinson With the problems incurred to day, I suggest that before selecting each future pick, look under the TOOLS section of the On The Clock league home page (the one where you enter your draft pick, position and team) and click on the link for View All Picks , then do a find search for your proposed draft picks last name. (If you are running Explorer hit Control & f to get to the find function) | ||||||
| 26 | Peter N. ID: 237421215 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 22:06 | It's been fixed. | ||||||
| 27 | Taxman SuperDude ID: 029463114 Sat, Aug 21, 2004, 22:16 | It's fixed and we are back in action. Hope Cliff is around..he wrote earlier today and said he would be on the boards or would leave a que. | ||||||
| 28 | Taxman SuperDude ID: 029463114 Sun, Aug 22, 2004, 11:01 |
Never heard from Cliff again. It has been 12 hours since Peter N drafted, so Cliff has timed out. Thus Peter N is up. Starting today, we have a 5 hour clock. If you time out, you can make your skipped pick at anytime. Hopefully this will allow me to focus on some other issues...like work. | ||||||
| 29 | Dr. Doom Donor ID: 052328812 Sun, Aug 22, 2004, 11:19 | I offered my email, but nothing was ever received. | ||||||
| 30 | deepsnapper Sustainer ID: 017103420 Sun, Aug 22, 2004, 16:09 | DD - I just hope he didn't send me one yesterday and I lost it installing Office XP Pro. The Outlook install nearly ate me alive before I shot it. Love Office, hate Outlook. | ||||||

Draft has ground to a stand still. I know it is the week end, but another w/e is just 5 days away. The draft is 322 picks long (12 teams @ 23 players). We got 46 picks (in 36 hours) from Thursday mid afternoon through Friday night. From Saturday morning through tonite, (almost 48 hours) another 20 picks. That leaves about 260 picks. In 11 days (September 3rd) Matt Snap and I leave for Mexico which will shut the draft down until the we return late September 6th, Give me your opinions please...vote for 1, 2 or 3. (1) do we go for 28 picks/day each week day and 10 picks/day without a clock to finish draft by night of September 2nd; (2) same as 1, but with a short (2 hour) clock (3)continue current 6 hour clock and shut draft down from Sept. 3rd thru Sept 6th. Finish draft on Sept 7 and 8..leaving 1 day to load rosters for first game night of September 9th. | ||||||
| 32 | Perm Dude ID: 2343587 Sun, Aug 22, 2004, 23:34 |
Will pick in about 10. We always manage to get it done. This will certainly pick up. | ||||||
| 33 | Taxman SuperDude ID: 029463114 Mon, Aug 23, 2004, 00:08 | Hammster (David) is not returning calls, so I guess we are done for the night. | ||||||
| 34 | Perm Dude ID: 2343587 Mon, Aug 23, 2004, 11:24 |
Just got power on here -- a bad accident about 8am knocked out much of the town. Will pick in about 15 minutes. | ||||||
| 35 | philflyboy@work ID: 32419138 Mon, Aug 23, 2004, 11:24 | I am here too so I will pick right after (as long as PD doesn't take my guy) | ||||||

| 40 | Taxman SuperDude ID: 029463114 Mon, Aug 23, 2004, 16:34 | I'm up..will take about 5 minutes | ||||||

| 42 | GoatLocker Sustainer ID: 060151121 Mon, Aug 23, 2004, 18:08 |

Gawwwwwwd. We (business) switched to a Server in the Sky e-mail system (Go-Daddy) and every 10 days or so, it will freeze my computer while it decides whether or not it will allow me to look at what has been requested. It will eventually come to a decision and un-freeze the computer. (beyond strange) This just happened at work and I can't kill the program/restart the computer w/o saving the excell spread sheets I spent the day creating. I am now at home, Brian's selection is on the board and we creep fwd in the draft. Has been a good day so far with 20+ picks and 1 1/2 hours yet to go. | ||||||

The problem with my left eye ended up being a blood vessel that burst last week on the retina & my surgeon perfomed emergency laser surgery at 2pm this afternoon to try and close it. He hit me with about 120 shots from his laser "gun". It's not as bad as the detatched retina was in the right eye earlier in the year (yet), but it's bleeding so bad he could only seal off 40% of it because of all the blood still in it from last week. I'll know more in a couple of weeks when he fries me again unless I get another major bleed before then. I won't be able to sit at the PC very much for the next couple of days, but I'll check in as often as I can. I'm on AIM "deepsnappe" and pfb has been nailing me when it's been my turn (thanks). If anyone has a good calling plan, I can give you my phone #, otherwise, I'll check in as often as I can. | ||||||
| 58 | philflyboy ID: 58736215 Wed, Aug 25, 2004, 22:16 |
Roy- Glad to hear it is not as bad as thought. Keep your computer sound turned up and I will continue to IM you when it is your turn. Get well soon there is alot of football to be watched!!! I am usually around so if anyone wants to leave me a queue I would be glad to help them out. Taxman-let me know if there is anything I can do for you. | ||||||

| 71 | Taxman SuperDude ID: 029463114 Fri, Aug 27, 2004, 17:41 |
probably goes in as St Louis Rams Hammster (David) will make his pick @ 6:15 PM EST. It is possible that we could run it back up the board again tonight if we don't get hung up...you can always leave a que for the commishioner and I can enter your pick for you. | ||||||

I'm up and know it, but can't get into Kafenatid right now. Actually I should say I can get into Kafenatid, but not On-The-Clock. I will continue to try. If I don't get back in before I head home, will probably just post my choices here. Cliff | ||||||
| 76 | GoatLocker Sustainer ID: 060151121 Mon, Aug 30, 2004, 19:38 |
Got one made, but won't take me back to let me make the other. Cliff | ||||||
| 77 | GoatLocker Sustainer ID: 060151121 Mon, Aug 30, 2004, 19:39 |
OK, they are both made. That is strange, I never have problems with that website. Cliff | ||||||
| 78 | deepsnapper Sustainer ID: 017103420 Tue, Aug 31, 2004, 10:21 | Give me about 10 min to get situated. | ||||||
| 79 | Guru ID: 330592710 Tue, Aug 31, 2004, 22:08 |
Hmmm... I just went to the TSN site, and the scoring formulas have been changed since I first looked. I printed out the formulas before I headed on vacation, and they included return yardage points and return TDs. The defense points are also different. And the roster configuration is also changed. I got an email from Taxman that mentioned return points as well. If the formulas now posted at the site are accurate, then I've been basing my draft on the wrong parameters. I guess I didn't get the memo about the changes. It would have changed some of my picks, for sure - like Dante Hall. | ||||||
| 80 | Guru ID: 330592710 Tue, Aug 31, 2004, 22:14 |
Oof - I just found the email from Taxman with the updated formulas. Somehow I missed that, and had been relying on the formulas which were posted at the game site. I'm screwed. Or at least, I have a handful of post-draft add/drop moves to be made. 'twill be interesting... | ||||||
| 81 | Guru ID: 330592710 Tue, Aug 31, 2004, 22:16 | On the bright side, I now have an excuse if I have a bad season. At least, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it! | ||||||
