Looks like it'll be halted at philflyboy until 6AM EDT even if faden get on now.

I'm going to auto the next 2 and be back on at 6AM CDT.

FYI - I sent an email to fadenwalker an hour ago becasue some of the draft emails are slow coming out. I just got the one for philflyboy's 3rd round selection a few min. ago.

Well, I hope that's not the reason, that he's waiting on me, but don't wait on me. Pick, we don't have a hell of a lot of time to finish this. This time I actually ranked quite a few players as opposed to the other unmentionable draft. Also, I would ask if I wanted someone to wait.

Oh well, guess I'll call it a night too. At least we got into round 3. I'm sure we'll get it together over the next few days. I guess that Bud Light is more potent than we thought.

At least when consumed in mass quantities anyway ;-)

ack! we are cursed!

stop jinxing this damn draft!

1st we ask for trouble w/ the "rotoguru.com fast draft" league name, and the draft q takes an extra 6-8 hrs to start up.

then just when we are on the verge of actually acomplishing our goal of making some picks in a timely manner, we make a new thread "lighting round" indeed. what happens the flury of mad picks stops dead on arrival.

and i have no excuse, i added fuel to the curse by having the audacity to use the term "fast" in my team name. and what happens i'll check in on my team only to realize my turn came about aprox 10-15 mins after i logged out of my previous visit!

ack! ack! :~)

seeya all tommorow at the same bat time, and all that.

may all your auto drafts ignore j. lewis (both of em) and terry glen.

I'll be here at 11 tonight, probably around 9 depending on when my game gets done but I am pretty well convinced that it is impossible to get 12 guys involved in a draft together at any given time. We'll see!

Please let us know if you'll make it. Post "aye" if you'll be able to be here if everyone else is.

I promise to be the most fastest darndest drafter ya'll evr did see from now on. And YES I took Anderson cause the RB's are thin already. With his numbers last year, he can't ride the bench.

I almost did that with Denver. Had Greasy, took Smith and nearly took Anderson right after Smith. Decided that was too dangerous.
