I will pick a draft date for online after we get some teams

If your interested, post your email on this thread and i will send you an invittation to the league.

night works best for me or you could do any time on the weekends

[BobTheCow]

night works best for me or you could do any time on the weekends
I think a weekend morning/early afternoon would probably be the best for the greatest number of people.

[paintman1234]

alright how does next saturday, the 2nd, sound? im thinking around 10:30AM eastern

[BobTheCow]

alright how does next saturday, the 2nd, sound? im thinking around 10:30AM eastern

[paintman1234]

Give more than 30 seconds per pick please

[paintman1234]

fine 60 sec picks

[paintman1234]

time changed to 11:15 am becuase of an "espn error"

I went to go change it last night and I did but it didnt save it so when I checked it at 10am this morning it wasnt sat and I had to set it an hour later

[skriptal]

maybe i am confused but it says for me its not till 11:15

Edit: I stared my post before you must have submitted yours, Thanks though

[paintman1234]

alright espn is being lame, I cant seem to set a draft date without it disappering in another 30mins....

that being said I am going to pick a live draft lobby to do it in and you all must just check in there.


go to this link and click the button "join this league"

http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/waitingroom?leagueId=399616

[skriptal]

now it is saying no date selected for the draft.

[paintman1234]

we are going to change it to tuesday night, how does 9pm work for everyone?

[skriptal]

sure, see you then

[BobTheCow]

Phew, I definitely slept through this morning's times. :p Tuesday at 9 works for me.

e: from that link a couple posts up: "This league has been drafted. Click Here to visit the league office." There's no "join" button.

??

[bentothejam1n]

sounds good to me.... I had a jv game this morning so im not complaining :p

[kosmo]

Is it just me or has AO been working incredibly slowly as of late? Anyway, tuesday works.

[BobTheCow]

One hour, w00t.

e: On the "League Office" page:
DRAFT INFO
Type: Live Draft
Date: None Selected

??

[skriptal]

getting the same thing...

[paintman1234]

totally forgot.... I am trying to do It right now but now it is telling me that we must have 10 people on the roster to draft, there are only 8 of us


I guess if it is ok I will just make 3 teams for myself, or if 2 of you guys want to make 2 teams that is also ok, I will just send you another email


I feel aweful, but I should be in bed right now I got school tomorrow.... :mad: How does tomorrow at 9pm sound?

[BobTheCow]

Hahaha, yeah, sure, tomorrow at 9 will do. I've got a couple friends here at school that have been looking at getting involved in a league, anybody mind if I ask them?

[kosmo]

Mind if we push it back to 940ish? I gotta work till 930. Im assuming this is eastern time and not the scientifically correct and proper cst right?

[Lohman446]

Ben, have you reset teh date?

[BobTheCow]

Ben, have you reset teh date?
Draft Type Live Draft
Draft Date You have not chosen a draft date.

Doesn't look like it...

[paintman1234]

Rob, I sent you another email to make a second team, you have to create that team in order from me to set a draft time....

Or if any of you others would like a scond team let me know with your email address

[Lohman446]

At work, send that e-mail again, Ill do it when home

better yet, have someone else do the second team, cause Im already confused enoguh

[paintman1234]

alright guys Im sorry this is such a hassle, and If i do this next year im doing it through someone else....

It is now not letting me pick a time after 6pm on weekdays so I want with 11am satuday morning estern. If that doesnt work for you, make a draft list so you dont have to be there to get who you want.

I am hoping this works :mad: :mad: :mad:

[BobTheCow]

Damnit, something came up with my family (apparently they're visiting this weekend??) and I won't be around for the draft tomorrow. If I leave my pre-selection list as it is though, it will draft for me, right?

[kosmo]

Yeah, just make sure that you set the list how you want it fairly deep. It does a good enough job though, I won doing that last year.

[paintman1234]

alright guys it looks like we are finally ready to go for this morning at 11

[paintman1234]

15mins...

[MicroMiniMe]

Yeah, just make sure that you set the list how you want it fairly deep. It does a good enough job though, I won doing that last year.

So will kosmo be drafting one Daunte Culpepper? :rolleyes:

I'm pretty happy with my team this year. Stocked at running back is the way to win.

[Lohman446]

Would it be wrong to ummm... trade players from my B team to my A team - seems how I could not live draft?

[paintman1234]

lol, yes it probly would be....


I promise I will not do it.... despite temptation :ninja:

[Maksimus54]

Can't believe you passed on Shaun the Great. My team will now commence with the destruction of everything you hold dear.

[paintman1234]

he will get injured, sorry

[bentothejam1n]

he will get injured, sorry
well you did get LJ. Personally i dont think he will live up to the hype and he might get injured. In goal line situations we always ran it to the left which was wille roaf's side. The right side wasnt very reliable so we might but be a strong redzone team like we were in the past. The reason why I think he he will get injured is that Herm wants to run more than we did last season and Larry wont be ready for that. But who knows. I think LJ will break records the season after this because Willie said he might come back after this season
/its funny how I say "we" like im on the chiefs or something

[kosmo]

Sweet mother of gayness. Some guys got killed in Kabul so they turned off our internet, preventing me from even setting the auto draft list up. As such, everyone on my team except for Tiki and Torry Holt are up for trade. I mean really now, Reggie Bush, Lendale White, and Musa Smith? How freakin stupid could espn be?

[Lohman446]

I agree - deon Branch... and the ocmputer started him for me

[Lohman446]

Im going to try to make team two respectable - I am making an ad hoc rule that my second team may not trade with my first.

Dante Culpepper is available for trade - any offers?

[BobTheCow]

Holy crap, not being around for the draft destroyed me. Ugh, I've got a lot of work to do.

[Lohman446]

I did ok but I had set up (at least on team 1) my draft board. Team 2 got the luck of the draw and I think I can make it work.

Who has Trent Green?

:tard:

[skriptal]

Who has Trent Green?

:tard:

I do, hes sitting on my bench if you want to make a trade for him

[Lohman446]

I do, hes sitting on my bench if you want to make a trade for him


Team 2 is loaded with QBs if your interested in a trade to fill one of my needs - I think there shy a TE. Culpepper is open for trading

[kosmo]

What kind of absent minded tomfoolery is this? Chester Taylor for Dante Stallworth?? Cripes man, never trade a running back who is getting 30 carries a game for a reciever who had one good week.

[Lohman446]

What kind of absent minded tomfoolery is this? Chester Taylor for Dante Stallworth?? Cripes man, never trade a running back who is getting 30 carries a game for a reciever who had one good week.

Did you look at my running back core on that team? And my noticeable lack of quality receivers?

RB: Ladainian Thomlinson, Willie Parker (who the Steelers have show is going to get an impressive amount of carries in a running team), Cedric Benson (playing in a weak division with a team that will have to run), and Samkon Gado, who almost got dropped from my team but now going to the Texans I'm going to watch.

With the obvious exception of Gado who was I going to put Taylor in front of? I was faced with starting Keenan McCardell this week. Noone knows how long until Branch is familiar enough with Seattle to play, let alone put up numbers, or in game shape.

Stallworth is a gamble, and player to player there is no doubt Ben got the better trade. But Stallworth is better for my team than Taylor ever would have been.

Edit: Yeh, umm.. Add Duece McCalister in there somewhere to.

Anyone got a great tight end?

[paintman1234]

:dance: once I got by the first round that draft went by quickly....

btw anyone know if big ben is playin this monday?

[kosmo]

Lets see, you would obviously put him in front of Gado. Chalk him up as in front of Benson since Benson isnt anywhere close to carrying the load for the Bears. Id rotate him with Parker depending on the matchup. Parker isnt the Steelers goal line back, Taylor is the only thing the Vikes got, and they seem damned intent on making him run over and over again.

Oh yeah, Heap and Cooley are up for trade too, and if youre particularly persuasive, Gonzales.

[paintman1234]

another one of those "he had a good game lets seee what else he does type of trades for me..."

My: marvin Harrison
for: Frank Gore

[Lohman446]

Are you trying to lose? Stallworth was a reach on my part - but Harrison...

/Should have held out for Harrison

[paintman1234]

..... we will see

im looking at skriptal's roster though.... im impressed, glad im not playing him this weekend

[skriptal]

haha, I know I have a stacked roster, My second team is not doing so well, although we still did get the win last week

[UTDragun]

bah

I really wish I wouldve seen this thread earlier.

ill jump in next year I guess.

Stallworth looks like he will have a good year, but I like him cuz hes from UT.

[bentothejam1n]

anybody want big ben?? im mainly looking for some decent wr's, te's, or trent green :D

[BobTheCow]

Turns out I suck at fantasty football. True story.

[BobTheCow]

Well I've been doing pretty terrible in general, but I managed to pull in 120 points last week... yikes. Consistency is clearly not my strong suit.

[Lohman446]

My number 2 team gave my number 1 team quite a scare last week

[kosmo]

I havent been able to log on to espn for almost a month now. For some reason, it just wont work. Hows my team doing?

What's your team's name?

[kosmo]

I believe its team hendel.

[bentothejam1n]

I believe its team hendel.
you're 3-3 but you have 3 or 4 empty spots due to a bye week
