All teams have 5 keepers in. We can start drafting with no clock until noon cdt. After that it will be set to 4 hours due to people being out of their respective offices. Please designate people to make picks if you can't be around. Email phone numbers to others if necessary.
Good Luck |

This is probably a dumb question, but if we arent drafting on ESPN or Yahoo how the heck do we know which players are available during the draft rounds? THanks guys.

Ian, it won't let you duplicate players in kafenatid so that helps.
I'm checking in for lunch, and will try to check in this afternoon. I'll be around all night.

Bonka, settle down!
I had to stop the draft because culdeus put in pappa's keeper instead of mine. I made a trade to move the player.
PS- SOME OF US HAVE TO WORK. SOME OF US (AT LEAST 2) WORK OUT OF THE OFFICE MANAGING PROJECTS OUT IN THE FIELD. The draft is going fine.

I think we need to set up a draft pause overnight; from what I can tell it looks like our clock is set up as continuous.
Draft pause from midnight est to 8 est?

hopefully there are some people around tonight, so we can get in a few picks to take off the edge.

Quote from Culdeus on September 2, 2004 about my team: "Skill C-
Very poor WR corps in a 1/rec league. Not up to the standards of last year. Two QBs with big ? marks over their heads with regards to team strength this year and Kevin Jones was a flat out reach for a future keeper. Looking towards next year?!?"
Do you think Kevin Jones is a reach now??? Glad you don't get paid for your commentary. Check my team's IDP's verse your's now....what do you think? Hope Seattle has a good year!

Plummer wasn't that bad. I had him as 3rd qb on the board. Give the rook a break, we'll have pleanty of time to make fun of him the rest of the year.
I'm sending Ricky a dime bag and a whizzinator as we speak.
|
27 | Pappa
ID: 235482312 Thu, Aug 25, 2005, 14:01

Battles, great pick. He should play solid the first 4 games and then will learn tons from watching Ricky from the sidelines the other games.

Ronnie Brown woulda been mine if Battles hadn't taken him. it KILLED me that he did.

Watch it boys. Plummer was the best of the slop left on the board. Ive already got exposure to Brooks through Horn, Breez is going to implode this year (from Most Improved to Out of a Job), Carr cant stay off his back and a 15 mph wind gives Warner a concusion. Good luck with those losers.

Promize back to his old tricks of lulling us into a false sense of security.
Of my 3 drafts so far the Kurt Warner pick was the first one that actually made me laugh out loud.
Expect draft grades chock full of hot sports opinions again.

I'm looking at my pick. Just got done eating at a nottaway plantation outside baton rouge. The crawfish etouffe, fried shrimp and catfish will be powering my next pick. I'll be in the car for the 6 hour drive home, but i have internet.

I figured the LB's wouldn't start until mid next round. Barnett go be stellar or good. I like him either way. He'll be better when they get a true mlb and move him to wlb.

Someone is thinking that no one will pick a qb3 with their next pick and/or thinks mcnair will stay healthy, lefty will actually throw the ball, harrington is the real deal.

How are we going to handle this weekend. I leave for a bike race Friday afternoon and won't really return until late Saturday night. Tree is out during roughly that same timespan.
Might be time to just take a break?
If I do happen to die on the roads encirling witchita falls I herby bequeath the rest of my picks to Promize so I can get a good chuckle in hell.
Hope he didn't leave his Street+Smith 2001 at the office.

Battles, 2 Points:
1) I have to draft a decent backup as we all know Pennington's shoulder is suspect.
2) There are 2 teams that dont have QB#2. They are beginning to squirm about now.

Harrington = nonstarter by mid season Leftwich = arm issues McNair = DONE Roethlisberger = throws for 150yds, 1td per game. Bledsoe = No thanks Eli Manning = tried this one before Boller = will NEVER be on my team Ramsey = Redskins will throw 5 times a game Losman = Good upside, but dont anticipate much in first full season.

I seem to remember one, Rich Gannon, working under the Jon Gruden system. He was considered washed up back then, but the system got him an MVP.
Pappa would like to welcome Brian Griese to his team. Brian, I look foward to watching your MVP-like season.

Your draft was easily the all time worst the Laura league has seen and believe me Jason used to haul up some stinkers. You benefitted from the lack of activity and mopped up good free agents. Bravo. Don't get off saying my draft analyis was bogus because it was SPOT ON.

Pappa would like to welcome D. Clark, as he will be referred to from now on, to camp. This decision boiled down to one equation:
Peyton > Boller

Iles looks tough??? What, with those QB'S? He also has a so called stud receiver that went back to his rookie ways and dropped 3 balls against the cowboys. I may be week 10 before either any qb's on ians or iles team throws for 225 or more yards.

It doesn't matter who Iles drafts. Everyone he picks is tainted for at least a year.
I could care less who my bye week qb is. I got a top 8lb about 2 rounds after his value was good. this difference between Rothlesaasbhajshfdajsdf and bledsoe for those 2 weeks will be minimal.

Actually, I think Bonka and Battles have the most solid teams so far.. Battles more then Bonka..
Bonka's QB's can rack up numbers if they stay healthy.
Battles QB's are offense stacked.. Chiefs have no Defense so it is gonna be all out offense every game.
My team, took chances at this point, what can I say.. If it fails I get better picks next year :)

I agree that Battles looks impressive, his offense is deep and talented at every position. I think Iles has the best 3-RB combo. Bonka looks to be in the middle of the bell-curve, nothing earth-shattering but solid top to bottom.

Iles- I'll take your advice when you finish better than last. Until then, you need to be taking mine. For the love, you took BRIAN GRIESE in the 11th. You don't think he'll throw up some single digit games? I think he'll have eggs after Chucky pulls him for throwing 3 ints and tears him a new one.

I agree on harrington. You took him before me or I would have considered him at my pick.
I'm arguing with Iles, who took brian freakin griese in the 11th. just typing his name makes me want to peel off my skin with a dull butter knife.
Harrington = steal this late and who Iles should have taken 3 rounds earlier.
Griese = I finished last a year ago and I want to be consistant, so I'll take him 4 rounds early in the 11th.

Its called the emergence of some WRs. Clayton has matured and the additions of Galloway and Hillard, not to mention a Cadillac and Pittman catching out of the backfield.
Also this will be Griese's 2nd year in the system. Its called learning a system boys. Be prepared for something around 3500 yds and 25 tds.

You are absolutely smoking crack iles. In 15 games with den in 2001 he had 2800 23/19.
If you put together his best yardage and best td it's only 3200 and 23. There is no way he gets 3500 and 25. He's barely beating out CHRIS FREAKIN SIMMS. CHRIS FREAKIN SIMMS!!!! 3000 20/15 would be a spectacular year for brian freakin griese.

Let's look at some guys picked after him. LJ, mcnair, fragile fred, jimmy smith jerry porter, benson, GRIESE....one of these picks is not like the other, one of these picks is not like the other. Let's see if we can figure which one kiddies.
weeks 5 and 14 iles. feel free to start him against me then. He'll probably score better than carr anyways. that was a nice game he threw up against the cowboys the other night.

Hey now, no need to bash my WR and Vick. I know what I'm going to get out of Vick, but who else was I supposed to keep from my team? Other than my RB last year, everyone sucked it up. My WR weren't worth keeping, even Driver isn't high on my list as a 2nd WR. Chambers will put up decent numbers, he always has. Bennett hopefully will put up most of what he did last year. And Moulds, well, for getting him in the 13th round, I'm happy with that. I wanted to grab Braylon Edwards but he was grabbed earlier than he should have been.
Whatever happens happens. Talk is talk. We'll see during the season. And like Promize said...if we suck that bad, at least we get higher picks next year, haha.

Let me explain some fantasy football to you battles:
Bye weeks: Portis - 3 Jordan - 5 Dillon - 7
Willie "Mo Pena" Parker will serve me nicely until the Duce returns. I have no real need for him after week 5. I can limp along in week 7.
Unlike some lame RBs people have drafted, ie Stephen Davis. I didnt think we had an IR spot this year.

The guy who used to go into goal line situations just had his calf muscle torn so bad the MRI cant read through the blood that has pooled up internally. FYI, calves are pretty important for explosive running. The Bus has made its last stop.

Willie "Mo Pena" Parker's got something to say about Duce Staley's fantasy value...
"It is for me to poop on!"
I believe you will find the Duce sitting out 3-4 more games than originally expected. As is the case for all NFL injuries, i.e. Todd Heap in 2004. This in addition to the Bus having his calf muscle permenantly removed.

Ian, you should try to track down the scrub that had your team last year and thank him for...
1. Having some great players 2. Not playing any of his great players 3. Not even managing the last half of the year.
That equals and early draft spot and good keepers.
Then thank tomcraw for having a complete loss of sense to draft mike.
Lastly, thank me for being the first to tell you gore is terrible and will be dropped when bye weeks start.

Oh Battles, in such a short amount of time a few things have become blatantly obvious. You walk on water; everyone should consult you before they make a selection; my RBs smoke yours straight up (keeper and non-keeper); your WRs are sub-par; and, quite frankly, your non-keeper roster looks like the inside of my barf bag on the flight home through the hurricane. Congrats on locking up a top-3 draft slot next year.

Interesting. I appreciate your solid review of my team and my abilities to defy the natural laws of water. It's too bad that I won this league the first year and was stuck at the end of the draft last year after everyone had kept 2 rb's and drafted 1 ahead of me. That is the reason I don't have any rb strength. I make do with what I have.
The history of your team however has always been a good team that no one ever played and thus had early round draft picks. Congrats on riding the coattails of others and having a decent draft.

Ian, I can't believe I come home from a relaxing dinner and read all this trash talk that is being thrown around. Who have you actually drafted? Let's look back... 1.Jake Plummer...can you say INT 2.Thomas Jones...Cedrik's backup after the 3rd week 3.Jerry Porter...the 3rd best receiver on the team..I bet curry has better nubers 4. Mike Anderson....did not have the balls, or should I say insight, to pick him that morning so you sabotage the draft for 8 hrs until he scampered 93 yds for a td....tough pick 5. Antonio Bryant...Parcel's leftovers, along with quincy, hutchison, testaverde, and henson....great company
Now, does that look like a great draft...come on man..you were handed everything good you got.

I am getting ragged on for taking plummer from a guy who has to start Harrington or Palmer...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? I apologize if you managed your board poorly and are still sad I took Anderson out from under you. Porter would be #2 on your team today and Bryant is on my bench. If not for Kevin Jones, your team would be an auto-flush!! Two days ago, somebody was complaining about no trash talking and now you pansies are wiping each others tears when the new guy starts slinging it. Sack up and get ready for a fun season baby!

I'd have to agree that Ian got blessed with good keepers and a high draft slot. Too bad he didn't get much with that high slot.
Can't wait for Benson to get the nod in Chicago so Jones can take up a roster spot while riding the bench.

"blessed with good keepers"?? Lets review my offensive keepers: Delhomme, McAlister, Davis, Horn and Johnson. It isnt bad, but deffinately in the bottom half of the league. I did receive a high draft slot and did the best I could. As for Jones, he is a flex candidate on my team for the first 4 weeks, nothing more nothing less. If all you can do is knock guys on my roster who are fighting to play flex for a few weeks, then I feel pretty good about my chances.

Ian will have to delete post 256.
That's 2 top 10 rb's and 2 top 10 wr's. You could have had a top 10 qb if you would have kept Brooks instead of Delhomme. You can't really say that's at the bottom. It happens to be at the top. If you would like to trade these bottom half of the league keepers, I'm sure some people at the top half would be willing to take them off your hands.

Sorry about 256. Didnt know that was a no-no. Rookie mistake. Never said I was at the bottom, just lower half. Didnt keep Brooks because I didnt want too much NO exposure with Brooks, Horn and McAlister. I still probably have too much, but willing to take the risk. I ranked the keeper pool a few days ago and had Battles, tree and leggs at the top, with Iles, Bonka, culdeus and my team in the middle. Looking forward to the various post-draft rankings and the crap I am going to take. All joking aside, I am having a great time with this league. For a frist time in a keeper, message posting and slow-draft I am having a blast. Thanks again for letting me play and I look forward to meeting all of you at the big barbeue Iles is going to throw during week 1.

I'll be filling in a scrub (that I played with in high school) for legges so we can skip his pick. he'll be able to fill in who he wants when he returns.

what's going on with the draft?
Battles has the "Current Pick" at "22.05", despite the fact it should be "21.07".
is there a trade or something that just happened?
the top is also confusing, as it says we're now in round 22 or 22, when we're really in round 21.

Preseason waivers will have to be done manually by me. I'll do them this sunday night at 8pm cdt. You can submit them to ufcwaivers@gmail.com. It will be done the same way as last year. This is being done in case any player goes down in the last preseason games.
After that FA will begin until the regular season start. During the regular season waivers will be handled through ESPN.
