I lasted longer than Cracker.....neener neener neeeeeeener! My write ups were above average....even Wade gave me props and he hates me.I still say the staff here took the top 5 because I was 6th. It's a conspiracy against me. They don't want to be associated with poop eaters.

Best commentary of the thread so far comes from the defending (also known as former) champ.You picked all the poop!I lasted longer than Cracker.....neener neener neeeeeeener!

How about we refer to you as "Joe Millionaire" because with the lackluster roster you won with... you appear to be the luckiest ####### out thereSomeone needs to come and knock me off my seat, sir.(needless to say, I doubt I'll win this whole thing twice. However, until then you may refer to me as Champ
I'd even say Nadratowski appears to know more about survivor drafting than you (I'm warming up to the whole talking trash commentary idea)

Wow, It took 2 minutes for that one (I saw it coming).BTW, my draft was a virtuoso performance, thank you very much. Guys were dropping F bombs after at least half of my picks on how I took players they were targeting. I wish all my drafts could be like that one.GatorEdit: BTW, It would be Dr. Chump....

If it's quality and not quantity posts to get invited, then sandbagger and GregR must know and have a lot of interesting material to say about football with 1600 and 1100 posts.Gatorman, I look forward to seeing your picks. You seem to dish it out quite easily, we'll see if you can take it. I was going to ask the same question as Zippy did. So seeing your bullying reply on a honost question irks me to put it politely. It could have been me you were trying to publicly humiliate on here just as easy. You probably have lots of friends don't you.

My bad. It will 20 writeups. I made the draft 20 rounds as I think it adds to the skill level as people can take a few more flyers.
I feel genuinely honored and I'm in. I am moving this weekend - Sunday is the U-haul, big stuff/big move day - so my schedule for the next few days is spotty. I will have online access until Monday in my old house, and from Wednesday on in my new, but Tuesday I will be setting it all up in my new abode. I will probably be able to check in once or twice on Tuesday during the day, but I won't have "full on" time that day. Looking down this line of posts - Monday night or Thursday night (best option) looks liek the best time for all of us??Love the format - I've been dying to do a survivor league. Love the comments on this thread, too:Hi-Larry-Us.
Thanks for the invite. I'm honored and looking forward to matching up with the rest of these guys. I'm definitely in and can usually draft anyday or any time...Monday evenings are generally the worst, but not completely terrible.Just let me know when we're starting and I'll be there.

Assuming Thursday the 17th...I cannot make it because I have Sports Law class Tuesday and Thursday nights. The only times I can't draft are the following:Tuesday: 5:30 P.M. - 10:00 P.M. PSTThursday: 5:30 P.M. - 7:30 P.M. PSTFinal Exams are the 19th and 21st I Believe, but I obviously will verify...those will also be at night.Other than those four time slots I'm available 24/7...the life of a student.

I haven't read through all the posts in this thread, so u might already have subs.... But, if you don't - I'd fill in for someone who doesn't show, or can't draft at the right time ... I can draft any night of the week accept for Monday. my email is juicecore@hotmail.com if u need me.
Thursday, during the day (noon-4 ET?) looks like the most likely scenario, or we all have to bite the bullet and give up a weekend time either Friday or Saturday.I am available Monday night, Wednesday night, Thursday night.I am available Monday day, Thursday day.I think if next weeknights are getting bad, we should all resolve to give up next Friday night. I'll have to break a date with the lady, but we live together so I'm sure I'll be able to re-schedule for Saturday.Incidentally - is this going to be running on the FFGuys league managment software? If it has drafting capabilities, this would be a great way for the guys to add another test on their software.LHUCKS - either in undergrad or law school, Sports Law classes, most useless classes ever (I took the class in both scenarios) - you should take them, but you are better off studying everything you can on contract law, contract negotiations, and ash kishing - and watch Jerry McGuire about 50 times to get the right "attitude" about players. Oh, and glue yourself to Arliss.Seriously, though, I know a few folks who tried breaking into sports law and you better have a backup plan, or contacts out the whazoo.

It's summer school for Law School. And I have no visions of becoming an agent...general counsel for a franchise perhaps...but even those guys start out doing litigation most of the time. Pretty sweet class though...beats the hell out of Civ Pro.I would ditch class in a sec. for our draft, except the finals are right around the corner and final exam info. is starting to be discussed.

Just a thought - with all these schedule conflicts, how bout we do a 8-12 hour draft clock instead of trying to get everyone together at the same time?

Zippy has pms.Once everyone's checked in (Res Ipsa?), should we move this to the mock drafts forum or something similar?pms
Agreed on the move to Mocks. Agreed on the lengthy draft clock - except that we must remember that, at least for me, I will not be available except maybe once or twice on Tuesday and on Sunday. Is the draft going to be e-mailing picks to a commissioner, who e-mails back? How will it work.LHUCKS - you are only in your first year, huh? GETOUT GETOUTNOW!! RUNRUNRUN!!!I'm just kidding - if you have any kinds of breaks going re: tuition/in-state cheaper tuition, scholarships, someone paying your way, it is well worth the education, contacts, and skill you develop. If you have to float the whole boat on your own, it can make for a very tough road - you leave law school with nearly a house-worth of debt to pay off. I also tend to dislike the 70-80 hour weeks expected of first year litigation associates. So, I went a radically different route after law school.Where are you going to law school? Private message me if you wish to keep it off-list.

Actually, I disagree with the long draft times. I would much prefer that we offer short draft times. Otherwise, when we're in the mid to late rounds, someone can wait 10 hours until training camps are done for the day and see if any news about Bennett's foot or Priest's hip or whatever comes out, and the whole draft suffers. It sounds like there's no easy time though so maybe we can allow a maximum of two times you can use your full 12 hours, with the exception of overnights?

One of the people in my sports law class from undergrad was Theo Epstein, now the general manager for the Red Sox. I doubt if the class had anything to do with his success, though.

Because we need the commentary quickly we will pick a time where everyone can draft. This will not be an email draft. I suggest one of you create a grid of 4 hour blocks (separated by an hour) and have people respond yes or no.Example (All times Eastern):Monday 8:00am - noon Monday 9:00am - 1:00pmMonday 10:00am - 2:00pmetc for the next week. If there is no good time, We will select a league time that best suits the five returning members and select someone else to replace the person who can not draft.More info:As a participant, you are entitled to one of the following:shirt, hat or FBG subscription for this seasonWe definitely have to wrap up the commentary before August 1st so we have to draft next week.We will be drafting using MFL software (and then I will convert the data) for the website.

Friday night next week is OK for me if we can nail it down soon.
