Gator312,

Philips and Carruth will have to wait.  Already promised the next spot to Cecil the Diesel. He should be getting released soon and wants the chance at a comeback. Oh, and unless he's going to turn water into rum and coke, you can leave Saint Tebow at home.

Lake, 

I enjoyed watching Teebs racking up all the trophies, but even I wouldn't want to party with a buzzkill.

You could always invite Riley Cooper.  I hear that guy knows how to party.

Also I think every kicker that the Colts draft usually knows how to enjoy himself as well.

And you know that just in case you run out of food, you should invite over Joe Cullen...  we could always send him to Wendy's to pick up some late-night burgers and fries.

Janikowski would be offended by your kicking suggestion.

Lol, did you see the names on my party list?  The only thing Cooper would start is a riot!

I already agreed with Vick to leave the dogs in the basement (roosters are still fair game though...we'll just throw the losers on the grill). Cooper comes and all bets are off.

Gotta leave the thugs like Tebow and Cooper at home.

I posted this on the league page as well...

Everyone has reclaimed their team so we are good to go. The schedule is set and the draft is set for Sunday the 25th at 8PM. If this isn't convenient for the majority of people we can change it. As always, if you cannot make the draft, Yahoo will draft for you. I have a live draft earlier that day so the wife may go all Mrs. NRW and pull me out by the hair for trying to do this draft as well.

Only three teams have submitted their keeper so far. Please do that by the end of next week (Aug 18th). You can submit them here or on MJ. Remember if you keep a guy who you already kept once, their round value will be based on Yahoo's average draft position. You can see what that is currently by going to "Draft Central" on the league page and scrolling down to "Draft Analysis". Just take the average pick (not round) and divide by 12 to see which round they are going in. After the 18th you cannot change your keeper. Your only option is to discard your keeper which you must declare to me the day before the draft. I will then remove your keeper and you will get back your pick for that round.

I will confirm each person's keeper for their round and value in case there is any confusion by anyone.

25th is fine with me as long as the time doesn't move up from 8PM.  That will give me time to drive back from Atlanta.

[Lucasjj]

All right folks I need your keeper selections. I only have keepers for 3 teams so far. Deadline for keepers is this Sunday. So either respond here, with a PM, or on the league page.

Let me know if you have any questions.

[thelakelander]

Since Aaron Hernandez won't be available, I'll select Alfred Morris as my keeper.

Here is this year's keeper list by MJ-Team-Player-Position-Round

Bridge Troll-BeeTees-Aaron Rodgers-QB-2
Wacca Pilatka-Rashean The Fish-Cecil Shorts-WR-14
TheLakeLander-The Ebony Stud-Alfred Morris-RB-14
Lucasjj-Post St Playmakers-Colin Kaepernick-QB-14
Gators312-Suburban Dwellers-N/A-N/A-N/A
Steve-Congrotastic-No Keeper-N/A-N/A
Danno-Johnsonville United-Drew Brees-QB-2
TUFSU1-Jack B More-CJ Spiller-RB-8
Cline-The Edgewoood-Andrew Luck-QB-10
Non-Redneck Westsider-Best In The West-Randall Cobb-WR-10
Manasia-Addison's Anarchists-Tom Brady-QB-4
Riverside Mail-Massillion Tigers-Ray Rice-RB-1

*Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, & Ray Rice are all being kept for a second year. According to our keeper rules, the round they are selected in for this year is based on their average draft position according to Yahoo. The round above is based on their average pick position as of this morning. I will make it official on Thursday since that is the date I posted previously.

At this point you cannot change your keeper. However you have up until Saturday night to throw your keeper back and make a selection for that round. You must notify me though through email, the league page, or MJ.

Would anyone like to discuss David Wilson?

Anyone else have him in more than one league?

I feel like I"m probably one of many....  smh....

I woke up to see that score TU and had to do a double take...

I need a big night from 3 guys tonight and it still won't be enough.

This thread's been quiet for practically the entire month of September.  What gives?

I really don't like crowing from the top of the mountain, it usually comes with consequence, but when have I ever been lacking in confidence? 

After a bit of a stumble at the start, I've now outscored the rest of the league.  It's me against the world and I'm 3-0 and taking names. 

The name for this week, Rivalry Week, is PostStreetPlaymakers.  He comes into the week with a respectable 3rd place standing (should be 2nd, but The Ebony Stud has the luxury of playing in the scrubs division) and it looks to be a close one.

Looks can be deceiving. 

And as we move on into another year, there is the yearly tradition of a side-bet heading into Rivalry Week.  PSP lost last year and was even kind enough to remind me about about it a few times, though I never took him up on it - a $20 tab at Dahlia's.

This year, let's keep it interesting - I'm going to put up my winnings from last year and I'm going to let you set my roster (a la 'The League')  If I win, it's $40 at Dahlia's.  If I lose, you're not out anything.  The rules for setting the roster - Every position has to be filled with an active player.  You have to submit my roster no later than 5pm on Thursday evening.  If a player is deemed unavailable between Fri & Sunday, then you have until 10am Sunday to replace him, or I will. 

So?  How bad will it hurt when I beat you with the team that you select?  Or....   You could, you know, puss out and not even accept the challenge.  Your call.

Now on the clock.....  PostStPlaymakers.
