Good. now for the love of jeebus maybe we can hear about the other 2500 some odd players in league now.
Lo-Jack is looking like a possible rookie of the year candidate BTW, kids absolutely blowing it up in camp.

ATM he's pushing Tapp at RE for the starting job. regardless if listed as starter or not he's gonna see alot of action on both sides in rotation.
Imagine this, when he's on right side he'll be paired with Julian Peterson at OLB. thats a protection nightmare for the best O-lines out there. when he's on the left he's going to spelling Kierney with Leroy Hill at OLB. gonna be a long day for the right tackles facing the Hawks this year. Lofa was recently quoted as saying Hill is the best linebacker on the team by far!
Over all the Hawks D is looking like it's gonna be a monster this year.
I am in for another year!

If no one has already, I was thinking about setting up the league myself, on fleaflicker. I've always wanted to play a league there and I've heard lots of good things. Has alot more(free) options then yahoo(free) and looks slicker too. And its free.

I was going to set one up but I'm all for trying yours out :) Anyne disagree?

Any chance to move the draft to some time that's NOT on the holiday weekend? I won't be in town Saturday through early afternoon on Monday.
DiscW

I'm up for it. That would mean it'd either have to be this week before friday, or mon/tues/wens next week. What's good for ya'll?
And an idea I had. At the moment I have 2 half empty leagues. What if I merged the two? It'd be 3 friends I bring in, one of which was in our league last year. That way we'd need only one for for an even 10, a good number.

That's fine with me. Any evening that's not a Saturday evening (or sunday this upcoming weekend) works for me. I'd prefer it start no earlier than 7:30 if possible as I work on wife faction with dinner before Raid time. If it's like 7 or something, I can make that work. Wife completely understands the need to be in a live draft if I actually want to participate in a Football league.

Welp I changed the draft time to tuesday at 7. If thats a problem lemme know in the next 24 hours, want to make sure everyone has enough notice.
And I did a draft on fleaflicker on monday. It works nice and easy, very good draft app, but one suggestion: If you aren't going to be at the draft, or might be late, check out the pre-rankings and see if you want to change anything. Because a couple of the high-end rankings were pretty odd.

Thank you very much, this change helps me a ton.
I will be working but could get home for 8pm Central.... can we push it back one hour possibly?

anything after 7:30 and before a start time of say 10 pm works for me.

I just signed up as the 9th team. Had a fun time last year and lookin forward to winning this year!
Unfortunately I have a real money draft on that night =( . I can probably set auto-draft up, if its too much to change.../sigh
DiscW
08-27-2008, 10:16 PM
If your other draft is online too, doing 2 drafts at once isn't that hard.
No actually its live, but I am going to see what I can do with if wireless is going to be available or auto draft. No biggie
FYI hurricane Gustavo is headed for Louisiana so there is a chance I may not have power at draft time..... I'm fine with that, I will take pride in winning the whole shabang with an auto picked team.... come on Joey Galloway!!!!!

For christ's sake do some pre-ranking. The site is awsome but their pre-rankings are insane.
