    I pieced together rules for a dynasty league with contracts. All players are auto signed to three yr contracts with 10% increase in salaries per year. I have that you can option contracts.

     

    This is what I have written.

     

    • Franchises have until before the auction starts to exercise the option yr(s). If a player receives a 1 year extension, they are rewarded with a $10 raise or 20% raise (rounded up to the nearest $1), whichever is higher. If a player receives a 2 year extension, they are rewarded with a $20 raise or 40% raise (rounded up to the nearest $1), whichever is higher.

     

    (must sign player to extension before start of third contract season.

     

     

    Now I am little confused.

     

    If I have LT signed for 20. Do the salaries look like this?

     

    1st yr 20

    2nd yr 22

    3rd yr 25

    4th yr 35 if one year extension or 45 if 2 yr extension

    5th yr 45

     

    Or does he get a raise in yr 3 also.

    Thinking about changing from a draft to auction. League based in Philly, two guys in Dallas, and one in DC. Not everyone can be together on draft day so someone usually drafts his own team and the person who could not be here(off a list).

     

    My question is how do you deal with a situation like that in an auction?

    Tickets

    The demand for tickets to Super Bowl XLI greatly exceeds our ability to accommodate the majority of our fans interested in attending. Most tickets are made available through the two teams competing in the game, and to a lesser extent through each of our other NFL teams. Remaining tickets for the general public are made available through a random drawing. There is no other means for the general public to purchase tickets. The NFL does not sell tickets to travel or ticket agents.

     

    Entries for the random drawing are accepted between Feb. 1 and June 1 of the year preceding the game in question. All entries must include name, address, phone number and email address, and must be sent via certified or registered mail. You will be notified by mail in October or November if you are eligible to purchase Super Bowl XLI tickets. Requests for tickets to Super Bowl XLII, to be played Feb. 3, 2008 in Glendale, Ariz., will be accepted beginning Feb. 1, 2007. Requests should be sent to:

    Artivle from Philly daily news Stan Hochman.

    'Skins' Campbell a young leader

     

     

     

    FORGET ABOUT snowballs and Santa Claus. That story is older than dirt, and just as dull. It's been twisted by time, transformed into some kind of yardstick for just how mean-spirited Philadelphia fans can be, outsiders conveniently ignoring the back story of a wretched franchise that seemed to pour more money into its halftime shows than its scouting.

     

    ESPN, groping for a story line on Monday night, lugged Santa out of the closet. They knew in their tiny hearts that the Eagles had lost five out of six and that the fans would be bitterly cold and severely short-tempered. A couple of dropped passes and the booing would start and Tony Kornheiser would cackle, "See, there they go again."

     

    (This disclaimer: I consider myself a friend of Kornheiser, but the winter gloves and the deer-in-the-headlights look added up to the worst performance in a Monday night booth since Howard Cosell puked all over Dandy Don Meredith's boots at Franklin Field.)

     

    Yo, why didn't ESPN give us bits from that night? Or, another gem from the "Monday Night" archives, Nov. 3, 1975, the time Eagles fans brought a huge inflatable dog bone and bounced it around the stands like a beach ball. Tossed dog biscuits at the players.

     

    Shouted "Al-po, Al-po" until the game got so lopsided it would have been sadistic to continue.

     

    Yo, that was clever and vindictive and passionate. A lot slicker than pelting a raggedy, substitute, halftime Santa Claus with snowballs because the team stank and they were sick of halftime pageantry and the owner and the general manager weren't available as targets.

     

    Mike McCormack coached the 1975 Eagles. The season started with wretched losses to two dreadful teams, the Giants and the Bears. At a Monday-morning news conference (long before Andy Reid transformed Monday sessions into S & M for the media, minus the whips and chains), Tom Brookshier speared McCormack with a question, "How many dogs do you have on the roster?"

     

    McCormack plopped right into the trap. "You mean real mutts?" he snapped. "I'd say two."

     

    Which was all the inspiration the angry fans needed to print "Beagles" on the inflatable dog bone and hurl biscuits at the players and chant "Al-po, Al-po" through most of a 42-3 loss to the Rams. Leonard Tose fired McCormack 30 seconds after the 4-10 season ended.

     

    ESPN could have done an interesting pregame piece on how the language of the game has changed. Sound bites were available. Jeremiah Trotter, after the Eagles whimpered to 5-5, grumbled about defensive guys finding out how much dog they had in them. Then Brian Dawkins rasped about needing more dog in the defense after a fluffier-than-Charmin charade against Indianapolis.

     

    In 30 years, hot has become cool, good has been transformed into baaaad, music has been butchered into sneering rhymes that mock authority, demean women and trash other rappers. The reference to dogs had shifted from timid, whimpering, tail-between-the-legs whiners to loyal, fierce, growling pit bulls.

     

    Dog tired, work like a dog, treat 'em like dogs, let sleeping dogs lie, dog-ear a textbook, every dog has his day, the sun don't shine on the same hound dog all the time; your interpretation of dog often depends on which side of the golden retriever you wake up on.

     

    Soft is soft, the one four-letter word prohibited in the locker room. Buddy Ryan used to drawl that he wanted his players to be "tough and smart." Until they earned his respect, he referred to them by number and not name.

     

    Reid coughed and sneered his way through the Monday autopsies of three consecutive losses, promising to get the shoddy tackling problems "fixed" (an ominous, if accidental term).

     

    It fell to defensive coordinator Jim Johnson to call a chihuahua a chihuahua.

     

    "This game," Johnson said glumly after the Indianapolis shellacking, "and I've never said it before, was the first time I really felt we were knocked off the ball... I felt, for whatever reason, we were not a physical football team."

     

    Not too short, not too lean, not too weary from being out there all night, just short on determination, not dogged enough, if you must.

     

    And just before a desperate call to the ASPCA for help in calling off future bow-wow imagery, here came Dawkins, describing his teammates as "these cats."

     

    I wouldn't touch that one with a 10-foot scratching pole.

    besides all of the other bs our league has had to put up with - the mcnabb scoring issue, the meltdown during our draft - now it is playoff time and i can't figure out how to set the matchups. i hope i am just a friggin' jackass and someone can help illuminate me on this because if sportsline doesn't allow for this possibility, than whats the point.

     

    i decided to split our league up into 2 conferences, 6 teams each, witht the top 3 in each conference making the playoffs. number one gets a bye and 2 and 3 play for the chance to meet number one in each division, etc. etc.

     

    traditionally, the bottom 6 then play the "toilet bowl" series with the winner getting their entry fee back.

     

    now, here's the problem: it seems that cbs only allows for me to set up one tourament with all 12 teams. i could give the leaders their byes, but its still only one tournament. i need to set up 2. someone please tell me this isn't the case.

     

     

    Go to setup. schedule and playoffs. Then edit matchups. You will have to manually do this each week so keep track of who is playing who.

    Am I right with this. Three teams tied . PP, KDTT and IDK. PP has a 1-2 record against the 2 other teams remaining. KDTT have a 2-1 record b/c both PP and KDTT are in same division. and IDK has a 1-1 record. KDTT wins the tie break b/c of the 2-1 record right?
