The 2011/12 NFL Football Season

[sawzalot]

OK I'm in. I've gotta have Drew though. I'll die if someone else starts Brees. Is there any way to make that happen?

Only if we all pick together and I dont see that happening since we are only hearing from a few D Bags but hey if we can salvage the League through auto picks than we will get it right next year and still have some fun with it this year.

 

[highfigh]

Curses to you for bringing that up.

I feel so sore about it, I can't imagine how the players themselves feel. I hope they take it out on the Pack tomorrow.

Mis-placed anger is no way to live your life. Wait for then to beat the Seahawks.

As far beating GB at home, I doubt it. Still, they number of injuries last year didn't matter, so one loss at home won't, either.

 

[sawzalot]

How about this one- T.O. decides he will communicate with DeSean Jackson, be a mentor of sorts by explaining to him that he should sit out the start of the Season until The Eagles give him a new contract making him one of the highest paid receivers and so on and so on , blah blah blah.

Robert...you can count me in!

So draft is set for 5 am EST? That's like 4 am CST if I did my math correctly...

Oh man... yeah that was bedtime in college, but that was awhile ago... too long ago... but I can afford better audio equipment now!

Go Pack Go!!

This is Packer Nation. No Presidential speech is gonna interrupt Packers pre-game here! No seriously, the local TV station said no to Obama's speech and will be showing Packers pre-game as it should be. The fool...never go against NFL first game of the season!

Is it possible to arrange the draft so it autopicks only for people who are not there?

It would default to that by itself if some one was not there they would get the puters best available.

*edit I do have it ready to go auto for everyone at this point if we get at least six live souls to pick tonite I will change it to say ten pm eastern just let me know who is ready to pick by team names and we will take it from there, sawz.

 

[jonnythan]

Please please PLEASE take it off auto and give me a chance to get Drew

I would love to do that but if you are the only one drafting you would in fact get to build a stellar team and the rest would be so so.When everyone is set for auto pick it shuffles the order continuously so everyone gets a fair shot at the best available, I know it is a late start but I was hoping Adam would chime in and get it going so now it seems as if auto will be the only way to save this until we do it for real again, lets see how many folks respond tonite and maybe we can still do it.

Drew is way overrated any how

Go Eagles !!

 

[Midwesthonky]

Please please PLEASE take it off auto and give me a chance to get Drew

But I want Drew!!! He was a Boilermaker before he was a Saint. If I had flunked some classes I would have been there to see him play.

-> I am ok to draft at 10 pm EST as suggested if that is the way people want to go. If we need another person to play, I might give my cousin a call. Tough to get it put together in an hour...

I'll kill you where you stand.

Hey Robert, TVD(Todd) is in... I just checked the ESPN site...woo hoo....we're almost there...

Billy are you ok with the whole auto mode, I think it is the best way to save our D-Bag league under these circumstances, your thoughts are appreciated as always, sawz.

*EDIT I saw that Todd responded almost right away so yes we are almost there and it looks like we will have some fun starting Thursday Night , WOO HOOO N F L Football Rocks..

Yeah...I'm fine with it. We can conduct trades or add free agents down the road.

It's better than having no league! It might be interesting to have a league made up of auto picks. You can go in and move players around as far as priority of pick. I went and did that to move Drew Brees to number 1 to mess with jonnythan. If I do get Brees, then I can use it to leverage a trade with jonnythan. Not that I would ever resort to extortion to get what I want...

My 1st pick will be a QB(I hope for either Rodgers or Rivers)... I've already set up the auto draft in that order....whew....that position killed me last year, I think I must have used about 6-7 different QB's...

 

[sawzalot]

OK I feel much better now knowing that we will keep our league alive, we were like the NFL , going down to the wire deciding if we will play or not .

We came out of arbitration with good news, The D-Bags will live to play another season. I am happy for all of us fans, we will have a good time as usual.

 

[sawzalot]

Couldn't have picked any better, lol

Congrats Billy, you have the best QB in the league, nice team overall.

Guess who got Brees, un freaking believable, nice job Jon,
by looking at the auto pic selections it seems as if most members showed up and played with selection by position, so I hope everyone is back.
Lets continue to contact all members to be sure that they are into this and if they are not we can try to fill their slots with new owners , no reason for phantom teams clogging up our league, good luck tonite to everyone

Does anyone know Adam Berkowitz, we need to know if he is in.
Does anyone know Chris Smith, we need to know if he is in.
I sent a pm to nick1000000 waiting to hear from him.
I sent a pm to that tiger, waiting to hear from him.
Will Adwilk be playing?Does anyone keep in touch with him?

 

[jonnythan]

Woo. My team looks significantly crappier than everyone else's somehow. That's OK though. The last thing in the world I'll care about is my fantasy team after the game tonight

But all you wanted was Brees, your exact words
