0 Subject: Great Gurupie Draft #3

Posted by: Eat Acid
- [46759271] Mon, Aug 27, 15:51

Lets keep em comin boys, whoever took Chad Brown is not one of my favorite people at the present time. The shade tree looks good as a burner though, and now my lineup is legal. Well, Antowain Smith might just be a placeholder, but at least they call him a RB.

I just called bookie for you guys. I will make his pick once Sandbox comes back up. I just happened to check this thread cause I was bored at work. DS if you will give me a heads up in our thread whenever bookie comes up in this draft, I will keep him updated.

You guys were entirely too fast yesterday. 3 picks in one day was too much for my brain to comprehend. I am still behind and will need to take plenty of time when my pick comes around to compose myself and make my next pick.

Folks, Joe Horn will be traded as soon as the draft is over to the team that offers me the best RB. He is a proven receiver with a much better QB than last year. Feel free to hit me with any offers you are interested in pusuing here.

Naw, you have exempted yourself from any of my wrath Bill for the Carter/Garcia deal. I'm pretty confident that I'll be able to get somebody, and even if I'm not my squad is good enough to whip most, and the draft ain't over yet. Maybe not another league championship, but I'll be in the top few if noone gets hurt.

Horn outscores your entire receiving core as well, besides Tim Brown. Think about it, let me know if you are interested in dealing one of em.

Tom - Sorry, but that deal would leave me too thin at RB. Having just 3 RBs now is as thin as I want to get at RB. Plus, I'm happy with my recieving core. I think Boston will be huge this year and Scott is just a year removed from a good season. Thanks, but I have to reject that offer.

bookie's up! eerrr, maybe tomorrow. I'll check on slosh's availability to pick for him.

Tom - CBS is different for sure. The safest thing to do is pre-rank and then use the HTML version. It's slower, but more stable. I try and run both it and JAVA on 2 browsers (JAVA=Netscape). Java is easier to queue players, but will hang up.

I suspect that team's name will change when bookie get back from vacation. When a Redskin's fan makes picks for a Cowboys fan, you may see some unexpected results (j/k slosh23). Thanks for making his picks.

Sandbox was down at Midnight CDT last night, but appears to be working fine this AM.

Baldwin - What? and help you prepare for tomorrow's Political Guru's draft? (;-Þ)

j/k - I'd suggest checking the QB draft that just finished. A lot of picks were made via "Auto" in this draft and being a keeper, we kept 3 players from last year who won't show up in the draft.

There s/b a link to the draft in one of the threads (requires a sandbox ID). Sort for "peek link" and you'll get a thread with a draft link. You can view the completed drafts by round, team, player position .

You weren't suggesting a bias were you Roy? (post 53) I think bookie's team just needs more quality players, its not my fault if they happen to be Skins. ; )

Actually I wasn't even thinking about SMU with the team name, I just figured there must be a couple of high school teams that were better in Dallas.

You are up Roy.

Hey Tom, leave Duce alone. I don't need him jinxed.

It could be fun to get an "expert" (besides all of us, ha, ha)to come in and grade our teams in this thread after the draft is done.I know no one wants to do that for our lowly league but it would be interesting.

I agree, although I impartially say I'm going to beat you swoosh. ;)

Know what else would be fun? A little friendly gambling for the Guru. It would be strictly voluntary, just sign up in the thread that you want to pony up a 20 dollar donation to the guru. Then, at the end of the year, the leader out of all the teams that bet doesn't pay and all the others send in their checks with "Donated by ......", of course the winner, on the face? Biliruben and I have one of these going for the Dodgers/D-Backs end of season record, its a nice way to talk some smack and help a good site. No welchers though!

I got burned on auto draft too Todd. I didn't realize that when I put it on auto draft if I had my limit on a position from brfore the draft that it wouldn't pick that position even if he was #1 in my que. That happened to me twice before I relized it. Oh well. I'll have to remember that next year.
