OK Dynasty Warriors! Our draft is currently set for TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY THE NINTH, AT 9:30 PM EDT! BE THERE OR TELL ME A DIFFERENT DAY/TIME AND WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN ACCOMMODATE YOU
On Thursday, when the defending Superbowl XLIX champion New England Patriots host the Pittsburgh Steelers to open the 2015 football season, each player will be equipped with a set of RFID sensors about the size of a quarter embedded in his shoulder pads, each emitting unique radio frequencies. Gillette Stadium (and every other stadium used by the NFL) has been equipped with 20 receivers to pick up those radio frequencies and pinpoint every player's field position, speed, distance traveled and acceleration in real time.
By using two sensors for each player — one embedded in the left shoulder pad and one on the right — the system will also be able to identify the facing of each player.
The NFL plans to use the data generated to power the NFL 2015 app for Xbox One and Windows 10, allowing for things like "Next Gen Replay" that will allow fans to call up stats for each player tied into highlight clips posted on the app. But that's just the beginning. The data will be fed to broadcasters, leveraged for in-stadium displays and provided to coaching staff and players.
"We've always had these traditional NFL stats," says Matt Swensson, senior director of Emerging Products and Technology at the NFL. "The league has been very interested in trying to broaden that and bring new statistics to the fans. Along the way, there's been more realization about how the data can be leveraged to make workflow more efficient around the game."
"This type of initiative really opens the doors to do more things at the venue," Swensson adds. "At the Pro Bowl last year, we had a display up that showed what players were on the field. By putting up what players were on the field in real time, it really gave fans more information."
And yet, the league refuses to add four more cameras per stadium on either side of each goal line.

would it be easier to do an offline draft? if i'm guessing correctly on the number of keepers it's going to be a very quick draft
my worry would be if there are any autodrafters at all those guys are gonna get taken
I'm not 100% how an offline draft would even work but unless it's all pre-set (keepers programmed in, along with dnd list), I'd rather just do it on yahoo.
Highlights are on deadspin, for a tl;dr version, but goddamn goodell and the pats are scumbag shitheels. Basically the whole deflategate kerfuffle is a makeup call for how spygate was a joke, and the pats cheating was way worse than presented, and people were literally stomping on tapes in a secret room in the pats facility that contained damning evidence. Oh happy day!
why is it that these former players/coaches are unwilling to make accusations on the record? christ this isn't watergate, do they really need to be anonymous?

Because coming out against a former employer, on the record, tends to be bad for your future employment prospects. Even if future employers are clean, they tend to distrust whistleblowers. Kind of universal..

Is there any way to set a "do not draft" list or something so that I don't even try to grab any of those?
yeah, go to draft-> predraft rankings->edit pre-draft rankings (do not draft on the left)
would probably be easiest if everybody did this
Ah thank you. And yes everybody should do this.
the commissioner can slot in players for anyone, so if you choose to do an offline draft we would literally just go in a circle and state which players we take on like a google doc or whatever. and then later i would tell the system who owned who.

if other owners are still mad about spygate to the extent that they force goodell to manufacture a 5 million dollar "makeup" investigation that suspends tom brady 4 games and takes way 2 more draft picks i'm sure they would have welcomed anyone who offered real hard testimony to some of this stuff (like swiping play sheets)
also this goes back to 2000, a lot of these guys are well out of the league

Are Mike Martz's comments anonymous?
getting other teams to buy in to the punishment was dumb as hell, but that's on the league
frankly i think a first rounder and a $750,000 fine for videotaping signals from the wrong place is enough punishment, but i'm biased
i'm more concerned with the allegations of swiping play sheets and raiding hotels and such, all of which are off the record accusations

Probably because they involve people that are still employed in football and/or don't want to go on Kraft's shit list which is totally understandable.
man that article is super long and basically says nothing. it seems like espn trying to cover themselves for being so pro-goodell and completely missing why it was so important to overturn the ruling, which the article spends a sentence on in the thousands of words, and tries to paint Brady in as evil a light as possible.
i don't even care about the patriots but the fixation with trying to make them evil is so boring. goodell was incredibly out of line and any measure taken to fuck him is a good thing.

i would think all of this deflategate stuff would give lie to the fact that kraft wields any substantial amount of power over other owners, never mind the pre-deflategate mentality that he acts as some sort of shadow commissioner

By Brady do you mean Belichick? When I read it he came off as the primary villain to me.

Isn't there a way that I could select my keepers right now? Or are we doing that during the draft?
I confused.
Everyone should be selecting keepers right now. We are currently doing an online draft. Simo was just suggesting an alternative.
The only person with a weird situation is cabezone. If you are not cabezone, select your keepers and show up to he draft ready to pick your players for your open slots. During the draft, don't select players from the list I posted.

How? Shouldn't there be an option in Yahoo? I don't see one anywhere.

I guess the only issue is what if cabezone doesn't want a player. Why keep it on the do not draft list.
Have him select which of that turd pile he actually wants to keep now so we don't have a list of 20 when we could have a list of like 5.

I'd rather the owner of my favorite sports team direct their evil towards winning games (allegedly) than toward building a new shitty stadium in a completely different city designed to maximum guaranteed revenue streams rather than, you know provide a good football experience, then run the coach and half the team out of town to save a buck.

Shit...I didn't realize it was a tab I had to select at the top, I thought there would have just been some check boxes on the roster page.
I still don't understand why people think Spygate gave the pats some giant advantage. Those people are doing the signals right on the sideline, you can see them from your sideline. It's not a huge fucking secret.

If their methods didn't provide any sort of advantage why did they dedicate so much effort and manpower to it and if we know it wasn't that damning of evidence why was all of it destroyed?
This will never EVER go away completely because Goodell destroyed the tapes. It was a decision that never made sense and has haunted the league throughout his administration. Pats fans and Belichick supporters can scoff at crazy conspiracy theories all they want but the chummy relationship between Goodell and Kraft grants all the motive you need for a cover-up and the sky is the limit for what was actually violated because Goodell senselessly ordered everything to be shot into the sun.

Videotaping signals during a game was and is completely legal.
It's filming from the wrong place that's in violation of the rules. Nothing was against the rules in what was filmed.
