lol @ all of the bickering but the masses aren't privledged enough to see how bad these teams are...wonder if anyone was stupid enough to draft a bunch of qb's in the early rounds...

Or WR-WR??

If you think the MB crew is gonna believe the staff was all out for themselves w/o a thought towards the team, wait till you read my critiques of y'all's picks - including Team Tremblay!

I'm interested in reading what you have to say. But if you think I sacrificed my own team for the sake of the rest of the staff's well-being, you're mistaken. My team is going to win the whole thing.

I don't think you "sacrificed" your team - but you (and the other staff members in your league) DEFINITELY passed on the better move for your team in favor of the staff strategy - and I will be very curious to see the staff spins on those picks. BTW, overall, in your league, I see Team Tremblay as one of the favorites, I like Bostonfred's team, I really like Team CracKer, I like 'bagger's squad, and Rudnicki never assembles a poor squad. Those teams, IMO, are the favorites from your league, with the other staff guys - especially Chris Smith - as potential darkhorses.Just a note, I was supposed to write my commentary in a "vacuum" and I tried to do so - I am really curious to read BnB's commentary on the other league since he was not privvy to what the staff was trying to do.P.S. - WR-WR :rotflmao:

Well don't leave us hanging...who did you like in the other league?

I guess the picks have been posted since we are going to start discussing this.link?

NO - they have not. We are trying to speak in abstractions until official release.

Is that fair to the rest of the board who might be interested?

 

[Marc Levin]

Didn't take a close look at your league - a lot of the reason I like the teams I mentioned is I was able to analyze every team's pick at every round and I saw how the teams were built.I have not looked very closely at your league - though BnB probably has some exellent insight. On a quick glance, I like, but don't love, your team. I think you will struggle on the weeks each of your starting RBs is on a bye, and I am underwhelmed by your WRs.

No, it is not. Unluck and I asked for approval to post maybe the first three rounds w/o any commentary, but I don't want to rush David right now- he has WAY too much going on to worry about this.In the grand scheme of the operation of this board and the FBGUys' site, this is a very minor issue right now that can easily wait.Considering I saw only three readers inthis thread, it's not amajor deal. This thread should whet folks' appetites and keep them interested, it should not be satisfaction of their curiosity.

I clearly won league #1's draft.Analysis ovah.

Delegate! He needs to delegate it then!

It's obviously not a "minor issue" if this many people are requesting to see it. 26 people listed on the homepage and no one can step up and get a document formatted and posted?!

1. There may have been only 3 readers on this thread when YOU were here, there are 10 now and more at other times.2. Why speak in abstractions? It doesn'treally whet anyones appetite, except for those who like to kiss butt around here (not many but its a pet peeve of mine on this board). By speaking in abstractions you are only teasing.3. Please stop with all these inside jokes that the rest of us don't understand. You are only creating a community of a few privelaged within a larger community. Its bad enough that several fortunate board members were selected to participate in this while others just watch. 4. I am interested in how things worked out in your draft, but I will gladly wait for the results to be posted. When i see this thread bumped I think its something new about the posting of the draft but find just another inside joke and trash talking. Sorry, thats not very interesting for the most of us.

Che,First of all, all due respect but it IS a minor issue. It's June and there are major issues being worked on (like making sure people who are paying for subscriptions get their user names and passwords sent and confirmed, and getting our book published) but this isn't one of them, honestly. As much as I too am dying to see the results and start digging into it, this is way down the totem pole of issues.Second, and more germane to your comment. Dodds and Clayton are the main people who publish stuff to the site on a regular basis. Most of us (myself included) are content creators but have no ability nor authority to publish HTML to the main site.Third, there is a tremendous amount of formatting that goes into something like this. Dodds needs to cull all the commentary from 24 different people, integrate that into one cohesive document, proof read, insert formating tags, etc... Also, much of the commentary from these drafts will serve as content for the player pages on the site too; so I can see why he (having already started the formatting) would want to continue on to see the process through.

As a web developer by trade, I am willing to format the pages for you... for a small fee....

 

[Marc Levin]

What he said.3nOut, in response - as I mentioned in the post you responded to, Unlucky and I have asked whether we can post the first three rounds of both leagues w/o the commentary, but significantly more important issues on Dodds mind will prevent me from asking him more than once.

NOONE is getting access to the FBGuys' site who is not an upper level staff member.

Good points, 3nOut. All I can say is, people are working pretty hard around here to get everything posted. Dodds isn't sleeping much. We'll get it up in the next day or two.Until then, let's stop discussing it.
