[brizz]

weird indeed. Must be the cold winters -wink-

There is really no way to plan for a 15th pick so I will just go with the flow.


Don't forget to get me lists if you need to.

[kvrdave]

That's the thing. I don't know who it is. I know who has paid, but can't figure out who their team is based on the money I got.

Paid

Paid:

Snoop Dog
igotmotts
Disposable Heroes
Testicle Swine
Nashville Automatons
Hanging Chads
nickdawgy (gopher too)
Brutal Juice
Mightier Wingmen
Buffleheads
DOA Dave (me)
brizz
J-Dubya
Spaceboy
gmal


So, the only person with no record of paying is Goblincat. And I know he is good for it. Sorry. :(

[gmal2003]

Im chomping at the bit, lets get this thing started

[db27]

okay so my picks are at

10amPST - 1pm EST
145pmPST - 445pm EST

correct?

Would someone be able to call my cell to get my picks? Both picks fall in work time everyday, no PC at work. :(

If not I'll submit lists.

[raven56706]

hmm..... well if there is someone else who hasnt paid... let me know... i have the money ready now

[brizz]

Ok...he's out and survived, so I have no qualms announcing that with the first pick in the draft, the Brizzley Bears select LaDanian Tomlinson. Let's roll baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I'm assuming you'll be putting the picks in the first post dave?

[brizz]

For my own edification:

1 - Brizzley Bears - brizz
2 - Mightier Wingmen - Moorehed
3 - Gopher Too - nickdawgy
4 - J-Dubya's Crew - J-Dubya
5 - Hanging Chads - flagstone
6 - Nashville Automotons - planetaire
7 - Detroit Goblincats - Goblincat
8 – Buffleheads - Roto
9 - Disposable Heroes - db27
10 – igotmotts - igotmotts
11 - Gmal's Crackheads - gmal2003
12 - Tacticle Swine - Munchos
13 - Snoops Poo Flingers - SnoopDogg
14 - Brutal Juice - daryl
15 – DoaDave - kvrdave
16 - Spaced Out - Spaceboy

I think that's right....just thought it might be useful for trash talking :) At least blake and spankyj are out so daryl and I can have the lions to ourselves :)

[kvrdave]

Tough call, brizz, but I like it. He gets a lot of receptions.

[brizz]

that's what i figured....does SD even have any wide receivers? I can't think of one :lol: the TE Gates is the only one I know of....

[brizz]

P.S. you mispelled my stud anchor's name....it's LaDanian -rolleyes-

[Roto]

Like it matters anyway. He's not going to score much once all the defenses figure out the Chargers have no passing game. Brees threw an interception on his first attempt last night rotfl

[brizz]

This is going to take forever isn't it....I know it's supposed to start tomorrow, but I was hoping others would help get the ball rolling....oh well.

Yes. It takes forever. It is a week of utter hell for me. I can't be away from my computer for over 15 minutes.

[brizz]

Well I tried man....but I am only one man with only one pick :)

And with Boerigter going down for the year for KC i'm thinking the "lot of receptions" edge for LT over Priest is now gone....that's what I get for getting Jumpy....should have waited for all the preseason games to end :(

we appreciate the effort :up:

[Roto]

Oh man, I gotta get up before 9:45? I guess I better get to bed now. That only gives me 9 hours of sleep :( This is almost as bad as having a job :grunt:

[Munchos]

So is anybody here waiting to draft?

[flagstone]

Just waiting for pick 5 to come around.

[Roto]

I'm up. Not sure why since I got over an hour to go.

[kvrdave]

Moorehed has 1 minute before he gets the autodraft

[kvrdave]

Gopher Too is up

[Roto]

Well, there went my sleeper pick at #2 :mad:

[kvrdave]

4 minutes for Gopher Too

[kvrdave]

1 minute

[kvrdave]

Gopher Too gets Clinton Portis

J-dubya (via list) takes Shawn Alexander

[kvrdave]

Hanging Chads is up and has until 9am

[Roto]

:lol: Has anybody besides Brizz made their own live pick yet?

[kvrdave]

nope. Suprising for the first round. Most people make me sit around on the last rounds, not on this one. :lol:

[Munchos]

Damn this could take a lot longer than last years draft.

[kvrdave]

It is shaping up that way. DON'T FORGET TO SEND ME A LIST IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT!!!

[kvrdave]

I do have a list for Snoop Dogg and will call Disposable Heroes, but so far, that is it.

[flagstone]

With the fifth pick, Hanging Chads select RB Ahman Green.

[kvrdave]

Nashville Automotons is up.

[planetaire]

Round 1 Pick #6 -- Nashville Automatons select Deuce McAllister

[kvrdave]

[Roto]

I'll end the running back streak with Randy Moss :banana:

[kvrdave]

Disposable Heroes takes Edgerrin James

igotmotts is up

[igotmotts]

igotmotts will take marvin harrison

[kvrdave]

Crackheads is up

[gmal2003]

[Munchos]

Give me Fred Taylor

[Roto]

I had to read that name 5 times before I realized it said tacticle. :whofart:

[Munchos]

Hardy har har

I'll be the last one laughing cashing in that first place money. Hell, i might even buy a house in Dave's estates, and have change left over for coffee.

[kvrdave]

And Snoop takes Domanick Davis.

Brutal Juice is up

If it is Starbucks, it will probably cost you more than the house.

[brizz]

Torry Holt? wow.

[Roto]

Wow? I find nothing surprising about Torry Holt getting picked there.

[Daryl]

Brutal Juice will happily take Terrell Owens

[Roto]

http://www.sperts.net/editorials/images/owens_cellphone.jpg
Hey mom! I got picked in the first round!

[kvrdave]

And I take Daunte Culpepper

Spaced Out is up.

[Roto]

Yeah baby! (sorry, I'm bored)

[gmal2003]

Torry Holt? Second highest points amongst WRs, top 10 in points total. 3 straight seasons without missing a game. Not on the cover of Madden. What more do you need?

[brizz]

which is why you will LOSE!!!!!!!!!! Bwahhahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!


:)

[brizz]

I guess I should say i'm just more surprised at the lack of RBs taken in the first round....given that it's a 16 team league and we have to start 2.

[Dabaomb]

I'm not in this draft but I'm actually pretty shocked that so many WRs are being taken so early.

In my draft, we had like 18 of the first 20 picks being RBs. My first 3 picks were RBs (3rd overall Pick: LT, 18th overall pick: Rudi Johson, 23rd overall pick: Stephen Davis) and I almost made it my first 4 (Tiki Barber with the 38th overall pick but I passed and took Santana Moss instead).

Edit: Brizz beat me to it

[gmal2003]

If you know how to draft and know the trends of the league you can draft for talent (best available player) and not need. Vision allows you to find great sleeper picks. Its easy to say get an RB when you have pick number one. The first 8 or so RBs were locks, RBs 9-20 are either injury prone, diminishing due to age or will put out similar numbers. Youll see.

You gotta start two wide receivers too, and in this league the top flight WRs that were picked score more points than a lot of those running backs.

[kvrdave]

Where's Space Boy? I want to get this over with :(

[kvrdave]

SPeaking of which. I need to be out of town either Tuesday or Wednesday. Is there any loser who has time to do this on one of those days?

[brizz]

that's cool fellas...it's all about strategery....i understand. you'll see indeed.

I'm not sure Dave, but I might be able too on the second half of the day (i'm an east coaster you know)....have to see if i'm mr. mom either of those days.

[kvrdave]

No prob. We will work it out somehow. I am flexible, but have to take the hooptie into the city of Portland to pick up slumlord supplies.

[Dabaomb]

Originally posted by Roto

I looked at your settings and you start 2 WRs, 2 RBs, and a WR/RB. That said, you still need to start 2 RBs and possibly a 3rd.

There are about 20 or so RBs that are the only real RB on their team. Then the rest of the teams have a RB by committee approach or have a starter that blows (e.g. Emmitt Smith).

Most teams start 2 WRs and I know that some suck but they can always be had. There are at least 40 WRs that are pretty good and a lot more who are serviceable. In my draft (10 team league, but there's a slight difference cuz we draft individual defensive players as opposed to a team defense so defensive players are picked where potential offensive players could be taken), I was able to get Santana Moss (33rd pick), Steve Smith (48th pick), Jimmy Smith (58th pick), Jerry Porter (63rd pickl....this is a stupid pick as I had both him and Alge Crumpler in my queue and picked Porter by mistake), Rod Gardner (118th pick), McCardell (163rd pick). I realize that your league gives 1 pt per reception which can make a big difference but I don't think that you'll be able to find a good RB in the later rounds. Also, RBs are far more consistent than WRs.

Neways, this is just my theory. Feel free to disagree. Carry on with your draft.

[Roto]

Who let him in here anyway? Where's your $20 Dabaomb? :p And more importantly, where the hell is Spaceboy? :mad:

[brizz]

he said he didn't have internet at home becaues he's moving and had to go to a friends house to use the internet, so he'll probably be in right at his appointed time...but at least he can do two at once.

[kvrdave]

I can do two at once as well....as soon as I get me some money.

[Roto]

http://www.the-reel-mccoy.com/movies/1999/images/officespace_lawrence.jpg

[brizz]

:lol: rotfl :lol:

[Roto]

I think us 3 can make the rest of the picks for these losers. Spaceboy takes Ricky Williams and David Boston.

[kvrdave]

:lol: Agreed.

[Dabaomb]

if there was still a spot, I'd definitely be in but alas I was too late :(

Oh yeah to add to my point, here's an example. In a 16-team league, you need 32 RBs to start at a bare minimum. Now it would be nice to get Marvin Harrison & Terrell Owens with your first 2 picks. Assuming that you picked a RB with your 3rd and 4th pick you'd be lookin' at like Thomas Jones (who sucks...he's cursed I tell you...every year is his breakout year but he sucks every year), Eddie George (he's done, he was the reason why my fantasy team got third place last year), and the like. If you wait even longer to draft a RB, you'll end up with someone like Zack Crockett who you pray scores you a 1-yd touchdown or Larry Johnson (you'll pray every week for Priest Holmes's hip to go out).

I'd much rather start say Edgerin James and Rudi Johnson with say Eric Moulds and Donte Stallworth as my receivers than start Marvin Harrison, Terrell Owens, and Eddie George and some other crappy RB.

[kvrdave]

13 minutes and Spaceboy will get Marshall Faulk

[SpaceBoy]

Sorry, kept checking the other topic on this.. DOH!

Making both my selections now..

[Roto]

With 16 teams, just about everyone is going to get stuck with some crappy RB, regardless.

[Roto]

I wish I could claim it's all part of my master plan, but all I can say for now is: :D

Hope I'm feeling like that after a few more rounds.

Speaking of which, are we proceeding on to Round 3 if we get there, or are we holding off until the schedule tomorrow? (I know which answer I prefer.)

[brizz]

i'll be making both my picks at 32/33 together...hoping we just keep rolling from there....

[kvrdave]

I will start the next thread as soon as we are done with this one.

[SpaceBoy]

Swines with a tough rb core, then again the 2 most likely to get knocked out with injuries..

[kvrdave]

J-Dubya has until 3 pm :(

[Roto]

Just FYI, this is a message posted in the DVDTalk FP Baseball league
YO!
by: J-Dubya's Crew (joeschmoe711) Aug 11 12:13am
Sorry guys, I forgot all about this league, my apologies.
:lol:

[kvrdave]

Well, he has picked once, so there is a ray of hope :)

[brizz]

which is dimmer by the minute :(

[kvrdave]

12 minutes and he gets Tony Gonzo.

Not bad, but in this league one might prefer another RB or WR before going to the TE

[brizz]

how do you determine who they get?

[kvrdave]

The next available player on the Yahoo rankings

[kvrdave]

Last year I think we made an exception when a player was out for the season already :lol:

[kvrdave]

5 minutes

[Roto]

Actually Yahoo rankings have really improved this season. They actually lowered the ranks of the injured players. I don't think it's been that way for any sport up until now.

[kvrdave]

Tony Gonzalez

[kvrdave]

Gopher Too is up

[kvrdave]

Hasselbeck is the next autopick for those who care.

[Roto]

Originally posted by kvrdave

Tim, right?

[brizz]

you obviously can't customize those rankings eh?

[kvrdave]

why, did you want him?

[kvrdave]

Matt Hasselbeck

[kvrdave]

Unless Josh suddenly shows up, he will have Michael Bennett

[brizz]

hell no :lol:

[Roto]

Dammit, somebody show up! I want Michael Bennett! :(

[brizz]

i'd have to vote for bennett being an unfair pick just because he's out 2-4 weeks....but that's just me.

[kvrdave]

And you want him?

[kvrdave]

-wink-

[kvrdave]

Besides, winners from the previous year get no sympathy. :lol:

[brizz]

fair enough...and no, I don't want him...he's scratched right off my lists :)

[kvrdave]

Mikey Bennet

[kvrdave]

So now brizz takes off? :lol:

[brizz]

Derrick Mason

[brizz]

bite me...it's dinner time here :)

[brizz]

3.01 pick by Brizz is Tiki Barber.

Go!! Let's roll!!

[db27]

hopefully, vick doesn't bite me in the ass like last year!

he owes me!
