I'm good with all the above

Draft Date Selected and Schedule Released

!!!The Draft will be Saturday August 21st at 10:30 AM EST !!!

Schedules can be viewed here

Now the draft date is a good two weeks before the season starts, so we can have a good amount of time for trades and add/drops. Picking a date now is imo good so that you guys know the date a couple weeks ahead of time, so can plan around it. Worst case scenario you use auto-draft and ESPN has a really good one and even new position settings. The draft order will be selected by ESPN randomly an hour prior to the draft time. Also it's AM since most people sleep in on weekends, so you should be at home and hey best of all we wake K0NG up at 7:30 AM PST

I am very proud of the schedule. It comes fully equipped with...

- All Divisional games are weeks 1-3 and 11-13. There are no NFL BYE weeks during that time.
- All teams that were not in last year's playoffs (RDU, CDOG and the Expansion teams) get an extra home game. If you were in the playoffs last year you have an extra away game.
- Balanced Divisions. Each has a top 4 seed from last season, a lower seed and Expansion team.

Making this awesome schedule took me like 10 f***in hours, so I hope you guys appreciate it

Weird, I'm probably going to be home at that time... unless my schedule gets fudged at work. I like the scheduling... I just noticed that "Home" teams get a +1 point advantage, while not much is a helpful factor. Now I've gotta get my spreadsheet started for this one.


Oh, and who stole my name?!

Damn I'm not gonna be able to make the draft, but I didn't last year either and I still did alright

Seven-fucking-thirty A M on a fucking Saturday???? Are you insane??? Wait, let me re-phrase that.....Are you insane??? Ehhh, WTF...I guess I can handle it. The schedule looks great but "the draft date is a good two weeks before the draft"....I'm confused.

I meant before the NFL season starts.

And K0NG sorry just 75% of the league is in the EST, so stuff like that can happen. Sorry to hear Comet can't make it, tho last year auto-draft did wonders for him. If like half of us can't make it I'll change it to a new date, just with 12 people you can't expect everyone to be there.

yeah my bday party is the nite before so im fucked for making the draft... unless im still up lol

Not looking to good... please see the PM I sent you guys...

New draft date set: Saturday August 28th 11:30 AM EST

Good luck trying to take my Championship, this shit is to much like H2H

24 hours till the draft. Hope to see most of you there. If you can't make it please adjust your auto-picks and strategy.

Also the way ESPN works with divisions like we have is the winner of each gets a top 4 seed and then the 4 teams with the next best records go in, so then all 3 teams from a division can go in.

I can live with that, so atm we'll use that, but if most of you like the top 2 in each division set-up please post and let me know.

Going to make a few more trophies later, just don't expect to many.

Cya guys tomorrow... K0NG make sure you have your alarm clock set

DRAFT RESULTS!

Piss-poor turnout. Just me, Top Gun, K0NG, tdub, Chapelz had a bad connection and was in and out and gir showed up at the end for his last two picks.

Trading time! IM me at DRC2828

And we have our first trade...

panter33 gets: Pierre Garcon & Jason Witten
Kumba gets: Frank Gore & Beanie Wells

Could be more on the way

In a follow up deal...

panther33 gets: Laurence Maroney
Kumba gets: Santana Moss

18 more trades and im good to go

Gonna be on the way home from vacation, pray my buddys laptop will work out in the car. *fingers crossed*

Haha, like the fantasy commercial?

haha never seen that one....it worked tho, i did the entire draft at 70 mph!

My team is almost set, but I have 6 RBs which is a little much and id like a solid third obtain at WR. My RBs are:

AP
Gore
Wells
CJ Spiller
T. Jones
M. Bell

Only AP and Gore are likely not going anywhere. Also if I can get a stud WR like Andre Johnson, Randy Moss or Calvin Johnson I might be able to add Marshall to the deal since I have him on another team.

Could also use another D/ST to go with the 49ers. Oh and I need a (good) kicker!

So what do you guys think of your teams? Like what are you happy with and unhappy with.

I think Kumba needs less players. My autodraft was crap.
