If anyone was wondering about Madden 16, it's frickin great. The new passing and catching options are fantastic, and Draft Champions is worth the price of admission alone. I love the RNG nature of the three players to pick from each round combined with trying to balence your roster to fill your schemes and shore up areas where you're weak. I was almost stuck with Mark Sanchez at QB, but then 1993 John Elway popped up in the final round. Yisssssss.
Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

I legitimately love that a Madden designer looked at Hearthstone's Arena system (which is itself a simplified/streamlined version of Magic: the Gathering's drafts) and said, "I bet we can make this work."

On the other hand, if you do get stuck with the likes of Brandon Whedon at QB, you need to actually start a game, quit it, and then wait twenty minutes before trying a new draft. Which ties into my biggest problem with the game: the number of loading screens and poor UI choices is staggering, and it takes forever to load into anything.
Civics is not a consumer product that you can ignore because you don’t like the options presented.
Fear and Loathing has 9 teams, so a 10th would be pretty awesome.
There's also PA Expendables which has 8 teams with @Slider as commish, so if @ObiFett wanted to renew his Bounty Punters we could take another team to bring that up to 10.
It's an incompetent, clownshoes organization with a nasty little troll of an owner and I thank the football gods every season that they play in the same division as my team.

Wait that describes like 3 teams in the nfl...
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Eh, there are only a few organizations that hit all the criteria - Detroit and the Jets are incompetent but their owners aren't really trolls. Carolina and the Colts have total troll owners but I wouldn't call them clownshoes on the field.
Oakland and Cleveland are the other two I can think of that hit all the marks, and neither of them play in a division I care about, so
@elki please allow me to join your terrible league I won't even mention how terrible you are
let me be the first do warn you of the presence of a team called the sp00ns in this league
the most dominant force in the history of fantasy football
in fact it is rumored that the sp00ns invented fantasy football itself
either way you would be stepping into an arena inhabited by the god of gods of fantasyness and the poor fools who dare play against him
i really urge you to reconsider your decision unless you're some kind of masochist

I can either get creamed by internet nerds or... well, just not watch football because honestly I need some skin in the game to make it fun

The rest of the league has asked me to sit you down and have a smack talk intervention. Look, we understand the urge to smack talk. But you aren't good at it. And sure, there is a certain amount of joy in lighting you up but it's a low smack talk league. When we remove smack talk instigated by you, we find that the next biggest smack talker in the league is Frosteey. And his smack talk is adorable cat gifs. To be frank, it's much more effective then your attempts. I've been amused enough that I lost track of roster changes seeing that kitty steal the piece of pizza.
I suggest taking a rebuilding year. Practice some new material in private and take the time to polish it. Maybe spend some time preparing for the draft this year. Study the line ups. Focus on the fundamentals. Next season, you can bring out the new material. Really change things up. But right now, you are to smack talk what Jerry Jones is to GMing.

Changed jobs and I need to find a replacement for beating up on my coworkers.
there are two in D&D that I know of.
Fear & Loathing - @elki is commissioner (a terrible one but still)
and Rare with no Sauce, i think @visiblehowl is the commissioner on that one
not sure if there are open spots in either.
There's also PA Expendables which has 8 teams with @Slider as commish, so if @ObiFett wanted to renew his Bounty Punters we could take another team to bring that up to 10.
There still is no set draft day/time

Yes. Came up with a limp right arm and went to the locker room.

Eh one kick returner can't win games. Unless you're the niners.

The defense (especially run, which isn't effected by the missing safeties) is also killing it.
The offense is pretty standard for an in-flux offensive line when Lynch only plays one series.
