In a 14 team league standard league drafting from 13 I took Thomas in the first and Kelse in the second. My RBs are Montgomery and Jacobs. Hope at least one of the rookies pans out.

Is it a 10 team league? I'm pretty high on Melvin Gordon, but I've never seen him go after the turn in a league of 12 teams or more. I like the idea though.

Forsett

Does it make sense to stay away from players in this game simply based on weather and possible field conditions?

I'm most curious about field conditions. I've heard it's been raining a lot in that area.

Is this guy a filler for the first few week?

My team sucked last year...had the brilliant idea of taking Graham in the first round. But the real pain was watching players on the other team blow up on me every weekend. Partial list of players that had their best week of the season against me: Forte, Forsett, Ellington, Ingram, Jeffery, Donnell and Phil Dawson. I won the title of points scored against by almost 100 point and this in a league where 60-70 will usually get you a win.

I love the idea, but I have a question. It seems like it would really suck to be the 4th seed. You end up with whoever the other two don't want to play. Has this been a problem? We're on RTsports. No problem setting this up.

I won my league going WR/WR. Granted, there were some newbies. I grabbed Megatron and then Dez Bryant on the turn. Took Lacy in the 3rd. Lamar Miller in the 4th which wasn't much help and then I got Bell. Went all rookies by grabbing Stacy off the wire. I did get lucky with the rookies, but the team really started scoring just as league playoffs began.

If 90% were betting on the Broncos, the line would move. Vegas isn't in the betting business, it's in the middleman business.

I went RB, RB, RB in a 14 man non-PPR drafting from the 10th spot. Didn't really plan it that way, but took players that fell to me; Ended up with McCoy, Forte and Murray. My receivers are Amendola, Torrey Smith and Hilton. 2-1 and leading the league in points. My loss was to the guy that had Rodgers last week against the Redskins. Pretty happy with my team. I think you just need to watch the draft unfold and make the best picks available with an eye towards what you need. Let the other owners make the mistakes.

We do something similar to this. Our league is $50 and we're in our 11th year. We require that all teams pay $150 prior to the draft or we look for a replacement. As commissioner, I've made a few exceptions to this but only for people that I feel comfortable covering. The extra $100 covers all fees generated during the season and covers the web site cost. As commissioner, I don't have to go looking for people to pay up. They actually come to me at the end of the season if they haven't used all of their $100. This year, almost everyone got their deposits from last year back at this years draft. It averages about $15. The really nice thing about this system is that winners get paid immediately after the playoffs end. No trying to finish collecting before payouts. That's the big reason that everyone in the league likes the system. We're fairly stable. We probably average one new person a year and we've had several leave but come back in a later season.

I'm in a couple of leagues that run on RTsports. A couple of guys at the draft asked about league sites that are free to use, specifically ESPN.com and NFL.com. Anyone have any good feedback on those two? Thanks.

Anyone seen a mock site that supports a 3rd round reversal? Gracias

I think a couple of guys in our league that would try to lose on purpose.

Hmm. Why did the NFL stop playing on Saturdays after the college season ends. Guess I missed the bulletin. Used to always enjoy those games.

We've always renamed the worst team in the league. They have to keep their new name for the entire next season. Some guys have actually kept their new name.

RTSports gave him a TD.

Good post. Couldn't agree more. I've yet to see a replay that is from the same angle as that ref who made the TD call. All the replays are from behind the play and everyone is saying it an interception. I don't see where there's a definative angle that shows it's an interception. Clearly the replay official felt the same way. There isn't any angle that shows what the official saw, so the play stood. As for the pass interference, no refs in any sports would make that call. Remember Michael Jordan's push off...no call. Refs have a code where they don't decide the game. Congrats to the Seahawks!

But you drafted him?

I went with Detroit. Seems like a good chance to use them.

Our league doesn't start giving points for yardage until the player reaches 50 yards. Guy in our league went into Monday Night tied and he had Ray Rice. -2 for Rice's fumble and he lost the game by 2. Epic complaining on the message board, lol.

I like the concept of Terra Nova, but the acting is just horrific. The "Grimm" pilot is tonight. I'll check that out.

I was in a similar situation several years ago. I can tell you that no matter how you resolve this issue, the league is doomed. Save yourself the impending drama and fold the league immediately. Refund all the fees which will give you a tidy sum of money. The good news is that you can take that money and put it to good use. I've got a friend in Nigeria that is decended from royalty and is due 30 million dollars from the government. He needs about 1.5k to pay off the government and release the funds. If you can help him out, he will give you 15% of the money released. Please send the money as soon as possible, time is of the essence. Kimbo Whataskammer 154 Oil Field Rd. Nigeria. Thanks
