Everyone, You should have 20 on your roster, so everyone should be able to pick up one player at least. Also, let me know any changes from the draft (in particular, the Buress, Williams Wayne scenario - to make sure I get that right). I apologize for all the problems, next year we either go back to a forum draft or different website. http://www.fftwelve.com/football/clutchcity/index.php
Yeah that was pretty rough. Nearly 4 hours and a lot of problems here and there. I added Burress to my team so you shouldn't have to worry about that
I added S Rice to my team to fix the earlier problem. Thanks for running the draft Rook, too bad for the technical difficulties.
don't stress about the difficulties... it went really certainly better than a draft that lasts a month
I should have Reggie Wayne and Mike Bell on my team. If you add Mike Bell, you can drop Morency. And who is taking Roy Williams?
nWo - you seemed very incapabale of selecting a player you wanted, much less within the 2 minute time limit. I will happily give you Mike Bell if you admit you have shamed everyone.
Also I think fade's team is going to be very tough to beat for the division, and Finn isn't nearly as strong as he was last season, and will have to pray that Chester Taylor pans out or Warrick Dunn dies if he wants to make the playoffs. Everyone else pretty much sucks except for me. No RB depth, too few WRs, questionable reaches on players with little upside, just a big mess all in all. Eat my dust suck-ehhhrz.
Moe, you have been giving me **** all freakin' draft. Don't know what the hell is wrong with you..... You're the asshat that picked him up when I was telling Rocketball during the chat where was my Mike Bell pick. Rocketball and I were discussing the Charles Grant/Shelton Quarles fiasco at the time. He made the mistake and gave me Burgess as the Mike Bell pick instead of replacing Charles Grant with Burgess. Rocketball, can you adjust it? Thanks.
Take it easy man, I'm just messing with you, this is the big leagues after all. From my point of view, there was a misunderstanding and It looked like you had said you wanted Burgess in place of Grant, and you hadn't been making your picks right it seemed all night, I had Bell #1 on my list and decided since it didn't seem like you knew what you were doing I was going to make that pick. If the website wasn't working for you and you were having difficulty that is one thing. I already said I'd give you Bell. But then that begs the question, whose pick do I have to take from that round, and whose pick will they take from there and so forth, so you see the problem it presents. I'll just leave this cute little debacle in the hands our esteemed commish Rocketball. Your word is law my man, try not to piss everyone off. (oh and welcome to being a fantasy football commish)
Sorry if I sounded off, but it's frustrating when you got everyone bashing you during the draft and the site crashing every 5 seconds. About the Mike Bell situation - I posed the question to Rocketball. Once I get Bell, who do you get? I told him I can give up Morency (who I picked instead of Bell), but that's if you want him. Later on in the season, he might be the premier back for the Texans - but right now he's going to be splitting time w/ Wali Lundy. Just thought I would offer it up. I don't want to piss anyone off in the league, but it seemed everyone last night made me the target. Once the draft was over, I just wanted everything straightened out.
Wow, I'm taking a beating for a website I didn't pick, thanks Smeg - you ready for your job back. NWO, you have R. Wayne now..........let's calm down, everybody was giving you a hard time cause it seemed like you were the one that kept missing your pick causing all types of ****ches with the draft. But that being said, it wasn't your fault, but a message into fanstar - let's move on and have a fun season and keep the smack to giving Fade and Finn a hard time. As for the Mike Bell situation, if Moe doesn't mind I will switch him over to your team (if you have 20 on your roster, I need to know who to drop), because we were discussing the issue before he picked about him not on your team. If Moe doesn't have a problem with it, he needs to let me knpw who he wants - he can even have the Bell on my team Tatum (and I will pick someone else up). Let me know as soon as possible, so I can make the change. Other than that, let's have some fun this year even with some light hearted smack here on the board. REMEMBER: Set your line-ups before kickoff on Thursday, since there is a game then. If you have any issues, post your line-up here and I will set it for you - ok NWO !!! (Had to get one last poke in............ )
Chester Taylor will do just fine. I feel like my team is even better than last years. The defense is the same except much stronger at DL (John Abraham). Ben Watson will be the best TE in the league this year, much like Gates was last year. My QB is way better, P. Manning/ J. Plummer. Loaded at WR. Can you say DYNASTY?
If you want to switch M.Bell with V.Morency I'm fine with that. A bold claim, since Brady is known for spreading the ball around like it was herpes in a whorehouse.
Set the bottle down and step away with your hands up.... First off , your QB's are good, however it is Brad Johnson, not Plummer... Your RB's are a tad shaky to say the least, WR's overall good but definitely some question marks in the bunch, TE even your little man crush can't convince me of top TE but I digress, PK who cares, Def is solid..... With that being said your looking at best 500, more likely a game or two below.....I guess, like the Astros, you better hope 500 makes the playoffs and then hope luck takes you from there. I believe you are better served start preparing for next year...........
Thanks for the reply back, Rocketball. Like I said, I don't want to cause any trouble in the league - just want to kick everyone's ass in this league. That said, the Morency/Bell switch is fine with me also. About the site - sorry for jumping on it, but it was utter frustration for me during the draft since it would happen to crash on me when it was my turn. And the cracks on me didn't help either. But we move on.... And my lineup - already set. Get ready Finn, your ass is mine! P.S. - Moe, you can rescind the trade offer. Rocketball added Mike Bell and I see you got Morency. I you can't rescind it, Rocketball - can you remove it?
Who is hitting the bottle? First off, my Manning/Plummer was showing my upgrade of This years QB to LAST years QB. Secondly, the only shaky RB is Jamal Lewis. It was a tough choice between him and Westbrook. Jamal is determined to bounce back from last years sorry performance. If he stays healthy he is a top 10 RB. Westbrook and Fred Taylor (who I almost took the same round you did) are too injury prone for me. Chester Taylor will be used much the same way Viking Great Chuck Foreman was used back in the day. They will throw to him out of the backfield as well as using him as the workhorse back. Watson becomes much more prominent in the NE offense with Branch out of the lineup. Brady knows what he can do and will throw to him often. You will see things my way at the end of the season.
I actually like Jamal Lewis this year, and think you took him at pretty much the right time. I was the one who ended up with Westbrook. I must admit that I was not very high on him going into the draft since he's injury prone. I figured he would be one of those guys that I just wouldn't get a chance to draft. I couldn't pass him up in the 5th round, though. He's been going early-mid 2nd round in all my mocks.
FWIW The three hours I spent setting my predraft was a waste. The site didn't follow my picks at all based on 1. position order or 2. overall order. Playing my team will be a bye week for all. You're welcome.
