    It had better be someone. I'll be mega upset if franchise single-handedly screws up our meeting.

    Can we pick for Franchise, if no one is there to pick for him at 8? We informed him of the meeting repeatedly, and told him that he had to have a friend or someone on the BBS pick for him. It's up to you of course Smeg, but he did know about this...

    SO,I just wanted to know how you guys draft is going?Dont look good but are draft dont start until tommorrow and it will probably be even slower so dont feel bad!

    I figured Faulk would go #1!!!

    I also think everyone has done a pretty good job drafting so far, looks to be a competitive league.

    Personally I like Phi and Nemer's team so far but you never know.

    Behad have you picked all your QBs already?

    The only way to pick for him is if someone knows his login name and password.

    If his friend doesn't show, then the draft will be on hold, unfortunately.

    Fadeaway,

    The Commish doesn't have the power to pick for people?

    no.

    the slowness of this draft is pissing me off. Is there no day when all of us can get together? :confused:

    The actual picking should take no longer than 15 to 30 minutes, at the most.

    Perhaps we should impose a penalty of Latrell Sprewell being given away if franchise holds up the draft? ;)

    I was gone most of the afternoon thinking I may be holding up the picking, but alas I wasn't... weee. Hurry up Franchise! Are you guys going to get together in chat later this evening? Has that been decided?

    franchise_3,

    This is <b>not</b> cool. You knew we were meeting tonight at 8 and you left us hanging. You could have easily arranged for someone else to make your picks for you, like BGM did when he went out of town. If you didn't want someone in the league to do it, there are plenty of outsiders who would have been happy to help you out. Puedlfor, Nomar or DVauthrin, for example. Auto-mode would have been another solution.

    This is just bad draft etiquette.

    Guys,

    Franchise's actions may not be cool, but lets stay cool, the draft will get done when it gets done and we will all get our draft picks when it's our turn and we will be well finished by time the season is ready commence.

    Definitely. I told you repeatedly that we were drafting tonight. You know, in two leagues we've all cooperated with you, and with everyone else. That's the way things go on the BBS, and it's the reason we have such great leagues here. BGM had to leave for several days. PSJ and Nemers weren't here this weekend. They at least had the decency to leave their picks and suggestions with someone else, or they put their list on auto. No, people will not try and steal all your players if you tell them who to pick for you, and an outsider like Puedlfor isn't going to tell the chat who you want. We all have our own minds, we're not all waiting for direction from you. And, the auto list isn't going to pick "crappy" players for you unless you tell it to, because you set the list! If you want to participate in these leagues, at least show some respect to everyone else in them by giving a list to someone on the BBS. This is ridiculous.

    Anyway, is 9 p.m. ok with everyone for a mass draft tomorrow night? If so, post below, and if not, post some times that would be appropriate for you this week. We need to get everyone together soon, and if you can't be here, set an auto list or talk to a BBS member about picking for you.
