TheBlade 3 Posted August 21, 2013 No. Just not sold on any one player. If someone is, the 1.04 is there for the taking. I only have 1 spot to fill. Take a look at my roster and let me know what you might want for that 1.04 pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltaire 4,556 Posted August 21, 2013 Where's shotsup? Please everybody, I beg you to take my health and mental well being into consideration. I'm a worrying, nervous kinda guy. I like smooth sailing and clear waters. I like the league running on autopilot and the only commishy thing I ever like to decide is the next movie to dig up and feature for the site logo. Now, the opposite of that, pretty much the top of the list of things I don't like -the that keeps me bouncing and twitching around like Principal McVicker- is being 36 hours from the cutdown deadline and seeing a full roster with a 'last visit' time stamp from 6+ days ago. That's essentially the biggest thing I really don't want you guys to do to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Blue 06 195 Posted August 21, 2013 I accepted that offer. Excellent. I have no interest in picking at the end of round 1, as there are about 3 or 4 guys I want to draft...and that's it. Trading away two late 1st rounders and 2 late 2nd rounders doesn't bother me.

southcarolina 166 Posted August 21, 2013 Yeah, it's everybody's prerogative if they like to wait and watch each others last minute moves and make cuts accordingly as the deadline nears. Wait....yesterday you were all like that dude from Aliens "Man.....we're all gonna die, man!!! Has anyone seen posty? Aww man...we're all gonna die!!!!!Make your cuts now or i'll go f0cking crazy and start docking you draft picks and making you start 4 tight ends every week, man!!!!" And so, under great mental duress, i made my cuts. And now, you're all like The Big Voltowski, "Nahhhh...take yer time man. Its all good. Just dont piss on my rug, okay" Bottom line: I feel like you pressured me into dropping Jackie Battle and Devin Aromashodu. I demand recompense, namely an additional first round draft pick. A supplemental pick between round 1 and 2 will be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,556 Posted August 22, 2013 I'm not making any more cuts. I have to say though, that Gerhart is a pending FA next offseason, ready to finally GTFO of Minnesota. It's something I've been waiting for since our original draft. I always thought he was a stud in a lousy situation and I've made plenty of cuts of players I've regretted cutting over the years in order to keep him. I tell you what though, he's not helping his chances of landing a starting gig next offseason with these two stinkers of preseason 2013 he's put in thus far. I'm having Rashad Jennings flashbacks. He's not a handcuff -I don't have AP- so that guy better show me some reason to keep him on the roster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Bell went down, I thought I might be forced to WR if Bernard, Lacy, and Ball went in the top 3. Nice deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,556 Posted August 24, 2013 So where's this Yahoo League we're moving to? I've not set it up yet. Nikki seemed willing to try to put together a collection to stay at MFL but her posting time is way down so I'll postpone until I learn more. I was going to move last year but she footed the entire bill herself. It's a free league, I didn't really want to have it at a pay site. The reason we're at MFL in the first place was we were supposed to have two conferences of 14 but the other one fell through due to Echo problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geezil 24 Posted August 24, 2013 No sorry. All 14 are active and accounted for. I wouldn't mind starting/joining another league though but it seems there wasn't much interest. im getting the same vibe. i thought a few weeks back if we did one giant league and set it up in such a way that everyone could participate, it would have been fun. dependent on interest we could have drafted in quarters as a bracket and the top one or two teams from each 1/4 bracket move forward intermittently throughout the season. i think its a great idea and something that would create a community atmosphere, but no takers. maybe next year someone else will propose the same idea and get the ball rolling. i think its a gem. like the ncaa basketball brackets but with ffootball instead. each of the 4 brackets draft independent of each other.

Voltaire 4,556 Posted August 26, 2013 The SF/Minny game is on now. I've come to my senses a bit. Starting a draft at 11 PM isprobably not a good idea. I think you can get the jist of what coaches are doing with their starting lineups in the SF/Minny game by halftime so we can start then. Again, I won't turn on the clock timer until round two, so no worries of getting skipped overnight. I've not heard any objection to 8 hours so we'll do that. Draft starts at Halftime, not at the end of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
