I trust we'll be announcing a draft date soon?

[BridgeTroll]

This is MY year... 

[Lucasjj]

The NFL season kicks off on Thursday September 7th. Invites are out to everyone so let me know if you did not get yours.

We need to solidify a draft date soon.

My schedule is tight in late August. I think people just need to throw out dates and we will see what works best for the most people.

I could do a draft late on labor day, Saturday the 27th, and the weekdays in and around those dates. Due to my lack of availability, I may be forced to auto draft this year.

It would be good to set the draft early to make sure everyone gets their keepers in and that they are valued correctly.

Your world champion Massillon Tigers are in. Let the wailing and gnashing of teeth commence.

[Non-RedNeck Westsider]

No wailing; no gnashing. 

I'm only here to tell you that you can enjoy your 'crown' this year, but you're nothing more than a paper king.  It's not like anyone beat me last year, but I beat myself.  That won't happen again.  I'm more focused and more honed in than ever.  My comeback this year will rival the that of the '72 Dolphins.  Undefeated! 

I'm going to go all George Zimmerman on all of you this year - murdering kids and acquitted of all charges.  (too soon?   I think I found a new team name though)

Ebony - I'll go ahead and pencil in Aaron Hernandez as your first pick, murderers rate higher than rapists, right?

Jack Be More - you're your own undoing.

Congro - dude, are you even still alive?

BeeTees - just keep autodrafting yourself into the bottom half of the rankings.  Good work!

The Engineers - hahahahaha

Massilon - I'm moving to RSA just so you can deliver me a turkey sandwich with my ValPacks

and finally,

Post St. - man, there's really nothing left to say.  I'm sorry that I never took you up on the bet you lost, though you offered more than once.  That's on me, not you.  Just keep your chin up, little buddy.  I like a nice, clean landing area.  Don't want it hitting the floor when I'm done.  I'll hand you the towel after I've wiped up.

Good luck to everyone this coming season. 

Nah, fuck it.  Luck's not helping any of you this year.

I have to say, it is pretty impressive that within an hour of accepting your invite, you make me already question why I sent it.

Jack Be More - you're your own undoing.

is that really the (jahvid) best you can do?

I ask myself the same thing after seeing you in the standings year after year....

Thanks NRW... best post of the day!

An all right folks, most of the league still needs to sign up. I just sent out another round of invites to anyone who hasn't signed up yet. I would like to get everyone signed up by August 11th. This way I have time to fill spots if someone isn't coming back.

Keepers will be due by the 19th. If anyone is keeping a player for a consecutive year, their value will be assigned as of the evening of the 22nd according to Yahoo's average draft position for that player.

As for the draft day, I am still looking for suggestions. If no one gives any input I am just going to set it for what is best for me which will be one of the following times:

Sunday August 25th – 8PM

Monday September 2 – 8PM

Some random weekday between the August 26th and September 4th at 8PM

[tufsu1]

Monday 9/2 doesn't work....that is the FSU-PITT game

8/25 is fine

as for random evenings, the 27th and 29th are out for me

[thelakelander]

The 23rd and 24th are out for me.

[Lucasjj]

I still only have 6 people who have reclaimed their teams. If you are not coming back, please let me know so I can find replacements. If you need me to resend your invite send me a PM. I want to get the league finalized by the end of this week.

[thelakelander]

Send me an invite again.  I may have accidentally deleted mine.
