Can't reset it again?

Either way, since it's on Friday afternoon I'm in now. (team: Frozen Treats)

Oh, I can. But Yahoo! sets a cap on how many leagues can hold a Live Draft at once. Unfortunately, 4pm PDT was no longer available. The latest Friday time was 1pm.

Yeah, Yahoo's weird like that.

Actually, they release openings in bunches; they'll have a batch of slots open, then they'll fill up, then they'll quietly release another group of slots for all the good times.

But if it's this Friday, you're probably out of luck.

superjoe

Also, since I joined, there's an odd number of teams, and Yahoo won't let you draft without an even number of teams. (Don't ask me why.)

Bogey

1pm on Friday's going to be difficult...

Yahoo! doesn't allow an odd number of teams because then some teams will have more byes than others.

Slungsolow

I can see myself doing a live draft while I'm drunk on friday afternoon. advantage west coast.

the wook

yeah

um...

there is absolutely no way i could make a live draft at 1PM on Friday

lostwords

1pm on friday is pretty impossible for me, since I would be on the metro then. Is there any other times on the weekend for it?

naporeon

OK. So, Yahoo! apparently opened up more times, and I was able to change the Live Draft to 5pm PDT, Friday, September 1. This had better work for everyone, because so far as I can tell, it's the fairest time there is.

8pm EDT is fucking awesome. I'd kiss you but since this is a sport based thread I will instead slap your tight ass.

"good game"

Butters

Let's hear some chatter out there!

Dogbone33

Ok i'm in. The new draft time clinched it for me. The Dogpound is ready.

Unfortunately I appear to have made things uneven again. My bad.

precisionk

I will destroy you all.


Gays Over Mihammy.

Dogbone33

Holy crap 16 teams! This will be an interesting draft.

Of course by interesting I mean it will SUCK for people who get bad draft positions.

Kuribo's Shoe

guys, Steve Smith

Dogbone33

Remember kickers go quick so snatch one up right away.

First two picks are dedicated to Morten Anderson and Fuad Reveiz.

Atta boy. I'm going with Arizona's Defense and the 49er's Defense.

naporeon

Wow...I never thought we'd get this many teams. Despite my general apathy toward football, I'm pretty excited about this. Please take a quick look, and verify that the scoring method is satisfactory. Otherwise, it looks like we're pretty much ready to go.

So guys, should I lock it at 16? That will keep things even, and guarantee that we'll be ready for the draft on Friday?

Kurt Warner 1st pick m i rite?

Kuribo's Shoe

Kurt WARNER?

Solid_Snake-a

but in the Munich circus he was known as ze incredible i'm reaching here i really am plus it's Wagner

Dogbone33

I actually have Warner as my number 2 QB in one of my leagues. If he stays healthy he has some awesome weapons at wideout to target.

I would recommend locking it at 16, but thats just me. As it is the draft will take 2 hours and the parity in the league is going to be extreme due to the large pool of drafters.

Kuribo's Shoe

Dogbone33

It is all about the dark horse QBs that no one ever seems to want.

Butters

Kellen Winslow Jr. will be awesome.

naporeon

League is locked at 16 teams.

I am willing to add teams *iff an even number of people are looking to join. Otherwise, things are set, kids.

* Jesus...I can't remember the last time I used this.

well I sure as shit wouldn't pick Brett Favre for anything more strenuous than mowing my lawn

shit, he'd probably pull something doing that

For fuck's sake, the guy started 221 consecutive games. Just because his age is starting to show doesn't mean that he isn't eight times tougher than everyone in SE++ welded together.

well it's not even his age or anything, it's just that he doesn't seem to even give a shit anymore

Dogbone33

Yeah i've avoided other QBs for the same reason. Normally I take Byron Leftwich as a backup but this year I treated him like he had SARS.

I just want to get my hands on a decent RB for this league. In my other leagues the best i've gotten has been Tiki Barber and Reggie Bush. Goddamn late round picks.

Kuribo's Shoe

Edgerrin James and Warrick Dunn are good choices

Dogbone33

Dunn has worked out well for me in previous years. I already have my eye set on a few lower ranked RBs if I get a bad position.

I ended up with Edgerrin but I'm kind of doubtful that his numbers behind the Arizona line are going to be awesome.

I think he might have a surprisingly good season, if Arizona's offense can coalesce (and remain healthy...*cough cough*).

Also, are you in on this, Shoe?

oooh, yeah I forgot he's with Arizona now. Well, here's hoping he's self sufficient.

FUCK YOU! He cares plenty. Football is all that he cares about. He had a bad season because everyone else that was even moderately talented on Green Bay was injured last season. He was the only playmaker and probably figured that throwing a interception 60 yards down field within the 10 yard line is better than punting it through the back of the endzone the very next play.

The problem isn't Farve it's the Packers. If Jevon Walker says that he would happily play with Farve again just not in Green Bay even after Farve's poorest season, that ought to tell you something.

This means I'm out then. I will be at a baseball game Friday night.

I'm sorry to hear it, but it was that, or lose most of the West coasters.
