[UPDATE] I have a taker for the last spot – but I need this to go fast so if the first responder (Chris S.) doesn’t accept my invite by the end of the day (the invite has been sent), I’ll go to the next person who replied – Mr. X, and so on.
First one to respond in the comments section, you’re in.
Two guys who wanted in (JimboTexan and Boomer Collins) never accepted their invites. I filled one of those spaces already, but one is left. Just remember – only opt in if you are sure you can manage your team every week. I don’t want anyone who’s going to just give up and stop managing halfway into the season, or when things go south.
We can also use the comments below to begin discussing a draft date. Right now, the draft is set for Tuesday, September 7 at 7PM.
I’m open to changing it, but it’s going to be majority rule. So far I’ve gotten three or four votes of “that’s fine with me” and one of “I don’t like it.” Let’s hold off on discussing rule changes at this point. Once the league is full and we have a date, I’ll start a whole new entry for us to discuss scoring changes.

Sept. 7 at 7pm sounds good.
Aug 25, 2010 at 11:38:47
I believe I already told you that the draft date was fine with me.
How many people are you trying to put in the league? 10 or 12? Because if its 12 and those other two didnt respond, I say lets roll with 10. Just a suggestion.
Aug 25, 2010 at 11:43:32
Team still open ? What are the other specifics ?
Aug 25, 2010 at 12:03:17
Count me in if I can draft online or from a remote location!
Aug 25, 2010 at 12:07:02
The specifics are only that you MUST manage your team, and you can’t just quit when things go south.
It’s going to be a 12 team league this year. Last year it was 14 and it was just too many, and the teams were spread so thin.
Swiger, you’re in if you want it. Mr. X, I’m going to give everyone a chance to drop out if they can’t handle the “commitment” and if someone drops I’ll contact you first. Thanks!

I’m totally commited to kicking chris’s ass!
Aug 25, 2010 at 12:19:12
If you need anyone else I’d totally be interested.

You guys should do an auction draft.
I just did my first one and it was awesome.
Team: Priest Holmes -> HoF
QB: Matt Schaub, Josh Freeman (ask me why Freeman’s a great backup to Schaub)
RB: Ryan “One-T” Mathews, Arian Foster, Michael Bush, C.J. Spiller, Marion Barber (after chickening out of overbidding for LeSean McCoy, I built an RBBC)
WR: Andre Johnson, Roddy White, DeSean Jackson, Lee Evans, Anthony Armstrong (elite WR trio, plus perfect bye week replacements. Look up walterfootball.com to find out who Anthony Armstrong is)
TE: Zach Miller (The OAK one; great sleeper pick)
K: Waiver Wire
DEF: Philadelphia
Again, auction drafts are AWESOME!!!

Aug 25, 2010 at 20:14:13
sounds good
Aug 26, 2010 at 08:47:55
Ill take mr.x’s spot if he doesnt
Aug 30, 2010 at 01:37:38
Aww, I would have played if two things happened:
a) I wasn’t driving to Fairbanks then
b) I had checked your site sooner!
Sep 3, 2010 at 13:08:51
Anything new?
Sep 3, 2010 at 13:22:53
@LA26
Yes – I sent an email to the entire league a couple of days ago. Have you not checked the email address you gave me to sign you up with? THe draft has been moved to Monday at 6PM.

We didn’t get to pick our draft position this year. Is it going to be random this year?
Sep 4, 2010 at 09:21:04
Yes, it’s random because we don’t have all the same participants as last year. I’d love to have the same group every year, but more than half that played last year showed no interest this year.
Sep 4, 2010 at 11:26:43
Ok. That’s cool. Just asking.
