Subject: Yahoo Ultimate Football Classic II- #5

- [517373013] Tue, Aug 31, 2004, 20:56
Well I've spent my time waiting entering about 190 players into yahoo. It was a joy sifting through 1000 players to place them on each team.
On another note, here is what I'm proposing for waiver rules.
#1-We will go last to first of the first round for waiver order. Selecting first overall has the biggest advatage of the draft and so on.
#2-The original waiver will start once we are finished and extend to Sunday around 3pm cdt. After that players will be FA's until the first game.
#3-I will manually create a waiver period weekly. The time will be from the start of the first game of the week until the following wednesday at 10pm cdt. After that it's FA's till the games. (note-I will note be able to exactly start the waiver each sunday, so a little honesty in helping out would be appreciated) |

He pretty much just needs IDPs(Really DL) I could go by tackles for the next pick.

We might as well wait once again. I don't know anything else to do without him possibly getting upset. He will time out when the clock gets turned off at 10cdt. Tree and Pappa are free to pick then if he hasn't.

i doubt it. we've waited this whole draft on two people iles and bonka. and i have the sheer joy of picking between them.
i'm only here for 20 more minutes, sooooooooo....
i also think manually doing the free agent/waiver thing is a bit much. we've all always played with yahoos system, so lets just stick with it...

Had to see if keenan is going to keep his word and sit out the season. Also the possibility, even though denied, of him going to KC makes him worth a shot. Onterrio is just to see if Bennett can make it through 4 weeks without blowing a tire.

I think Witten could be good this year. I liked what I saw out of the Cowboys the other night with the exception of Eddie George. I have the distinct feeling that he's going to average 3.3 yards per carry. The difference in time hitting the hole between him and Jones is huge.

I don't think it's funny that I was just given some garbage time player, whether you played with him or not. I've had very limited and slow internet access which is pissing me off. Combine that with my one computer not working and my TV going, I'm not happy at all. I expect to be able to pick someone else and have them put on my team without using my waiver spot. I'm not taking some DB that won't even play.

Bonka - once you pick a player up, it will change the waiver order, and as best i know, there is no way for the commish to re-order it.
best thing to do is wait until sept 4 or 5, then add the player you want, or let the bossman know, and he'll do the add/drop thing.

Tree-I CAN re-order the waiver order. I did last night.
There is no reason not to just tell me a player and let me do it. Is it not the same as putting it in otc and me picking the player for you like I did all 219 last night? Seems the same to me. Really this is not that difficult or that big of a deal. Everything gets blown way out of proportion with some stuff in this league.

Tensions are high around here.
I picked up Najeh, so if anyone needs a player to crap in someone's closet for them then I would be willing to listen to trade offers. He won't come cheaply though, I don't think you could find another guy willing to drop a deuce like that.

What are you talking about Hamid? Did Najeh really do something like that? I'm confused.
I'm just hoping Jack makes the team. If he would have stayed in Minn he would have been at the least the nickel back. This is Tellis' third camp (1BAl, 2 SEA) and he hasn't made it yet. I think it's time he settled for the CFL.

Like 3 years ago Najeh got arrested for taking a crap in some girls closet.

Do a google search for "najeh davenport closet" and you'll get about 500 hits.

I was hoping to alienate eveyrone with my draft opinions even more than I did with the RIFC.
