fantasy football: a league of our own

[BookerT]

is there any reason to leave the draft order random until 30 mins before? you can set it randomly now i believe, might give people a better chance for last minute prep if they know where they are picking.

are we doing another survivor/knockout football pool?

i certainly hope so - hey smackie?

Survival pools have far surpassed fantasy football on my enjoyment scale.  I'll set it up later this week.

Well, this is a year where I didn't really want the #1 pick... figures

I'll trade you.  Can we do that?  Wouldn't you LOVE the intriguing....number...SEVEN pick?

With 12 teams in the league, that's your ticket to a championship.

Don't see why not, seen it done before.

It's a little hazier this year because you have one top tier running back with a hamstring injury that could be nagging (Foster), another, maybe SLIGHTLY lesser running back (only if you believe the idiots at ESPN) who could be holding out for a long time (Chris Johnson), another possible hold-out (Frank Gore) and a top 5 quarterback who is dealing with nerve regeneration in his neck (!) (Manning.)

Plus, a lot less wear and tear on the bodies.  Now this could be good (gives body chance to heal, more refreshed) or bad (out of football shape.  more injuries trying to get into football shape quicker.)

Although I guess being able to grab the only back without question marks (whether that be hamstrings, holdouts or idiot coaches) is a good thing.

yup, it can be done - but only by the commissioner. 

so if you're serious about it, you need to let me know ASAP.  both of you should send me an e-mail or a PM within the next 30-40 minutes.  after that, i'll be out running an errand and might not be back in time to make the sitch before the draft start.  i believe that a hlaf hour before the draft, everything gets locked down and order can't be changed anymore.

[Brian_Wallace]

I'm fine.  Unless, Stillwater REALLY wants to trade the No. 1 pick.  Come on, Stillwater....you could probably get Michael Vick.........

Brian

[Stillwater]

I think I'm good. I appreciate your willingness to help to me unload it though.

This isn't about fantasy football but rather something briefly discussed during the draft.  There are a lot of good undiscovered writers out there.  And there are a lot of great topics to write about.  But, hey!  What the world REALLY needs is some retarded statistical analysis of Adele's performance on VMAs and where she ranks on the diva scale!:

That's a PERFECT example of how awful this Klosterman/Simmons/Diablo Cody/Entertainment Weekly crap is.  Seriously.  The tide is turning against this quasi-meta-pop-culture bullshit.  It will be going away very soon.  And then what will you do on the internets?

Welcome to Grantland.  In a year it will be closed and turned into a Five Guys.
