Who are the 9 who have agreed as of now? If we have to get someone outside, that is fine, but I would hope to hell that we can find a 10th person who posts regularly on this board. Last thing I want is some outside asshole winning all the money that some asshole on this board could have won. Plus, I say we do the draft later in the evening like next Tuesday (as long as that fits into Hammy's TV programing schedule). That way all of the preseason games will be done, we will know if some important player gets hurt in that last week, but still have the rest of the week to set our teams. Everybody who played last year except for Matt. Also everybody who has said "in" in this thread. Also if you go to the fantasy league on ESPN it's every team in the league except Matt's team. I hope this clears things up for you.

I post fairly regularly but I will undoubtably lose interest in this by week 4. I would be exactly what G/L wants to avoid so I'm not volunteering myself.

I propose one rule change...something we do in the other keeper leagues I play in.
Since this is a keeper league, the draft order shouldn't be randomly computer selected. Draft order should be based on final standings from the previous season. Last place picks first, first place picks last. Like the NFL draft. It's a fair way of playing, especially when players are being carried over.
I have no recollection of what those standings were though, I'm going to reactivate the league to get things rolling.
In Matt's case...if he doesn't play again...the new owner should take control of his team and roster and be allowed to keep one of his players. We'll just need to issue an invite to new owner, then delete Matt as an owner once new person joins.

I thought about that and think it's a good idea, but I didn't want to be the one to suggest it since I finished third last year.

I almost certainly will miss any draft you have no matter when it is..... but if you are having trouble filling that tenth spot I will mail in $20 and have a team again... I got suckered into being the commissioner of the office league this year, which takes a stupid amount of time. I remember how fantasy football used to be fun.

Because ESPN is too slow at work, we use this RTSports site, which isnt free but loads a lot faster.
But we have the draft in a conference room in our greene county office each year, and it was yesterday... and now I have to manually enter each player onto each team. Sucks ass.

If you were going to do that you should go by the total points of your keeper player from last years stats.

I agree with dale. It's a stupid rule - but only because it adversely affects me. If not for that, I'd be on complete agreement.

OK so let's do the draft Tuesday night at 8 PM next week. Any issues with that? If there are I probably don't care.
Also I am moving in two weeks. I will send my address to everyone at some point. If you have last year's address and can mail the $20 to me in the next couple weeks, you can feel free to go ahead and send it.

I've auto drafted the last 3 years and played pretty much every week. Look at me...I've only finished in the bottom 5 each of those years

And, I'd like to note for the record.....for having a concentration of about 10 posters with a median age of 27 or so, you guys are the most traveling motherfuckers I've ever seen. Matt's in NYC every other month, been to every BE football venue, Ireland, etc. Kenny knows the first name of strippers on every continent except Antartica. Hoss "has traveled every road east of the Mississippi". Damn, I'm lucky to take a 10 day vacation every year...6 days of which are Christmas and News Years holidays and a weekend.

I was looking at the league page last night. How do we select our "keeper" (not that I necessarily have anyone I want to keep)?

Post by sdot on Sept 4, 2012 7:34:20 GMT -5
Click on the MY TEAM tab, then below that there will be a KEEPERS link out on the right. I think you have to do it a few hours before the draft. Someone got screwed last year IIRC.

I don't travel all that much these days, I got most of that out of my system going on ridiculously long summer vacations growing up, but I've never been outside of North America so I don't hold a candle to Matt or Kenny in that regard.
The draft is tonight then? Holy shit, I might actually draft my team for the first time ever.
Kenny...please text me and remind me at about 9pm that i've missed it. Thanks.

I can do your draft for you if you like Dale. Ever thought of running an 11 QB formation?
