Hmm, don't really like that song and definitely not words you'd want associated with your starting RB

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Hmm, don't really like that song and definitely not words you'd want associated with your starting RB

But it fits.

The things you remember as a kid. I saw “Nice and Slow” and immediately thought of this.

@Eephus up for 2

He might need a little bit of time given he just flew back home last night and is on West Coast time. I hope everyone can do their best to check in regularly and keep things moving. I won't put a "clock" on picks yet unless it starts to become an issue.

 

[rockaction]

Yeah, I flew back to San Diego from San Francisco yesterday and it's 5:59 AM PST here. It is early.

LOL. I got a whopping ten-twelve hours of sleep over four days there, so I feel like ****. I have no idea why, but San Francisco really kept me up.

No Jets bashing here - we get enough of it in the Shark Pool thread as it is.

 

[Ilov80s]

I’ll post my music and stuff when I get back but

1.5 RB Saquon Barkley

I am a little nervous since he had 500 touches last year but what the hell let’s swing for the fences

Can't argue with the pick, but I am very nervous about this workload with him a cornerstone in my main keeper league.

Yeah me too. Of the top typical top 4 (Chase, Saquon, Gibbs, Barkley) he's the one I don't like seeing slip to me. I have the 5th pick in my long time home league and I am praying this same situation doesn't play out there too. I am bouncing between CMC, Jeanty and Henry there (it's old school non PPR). I might already have regrets about this pick lol.

 

[Northern Voice]

Move Daniel Jones up your boards.

Sorry for the delay.

Nice picks. By my quick math, you just went from the worst team in the league to the best team.

 

[kupcho1]

1.16 Brian Thomas Jr. WR

The scoring in this league must be competitively balanced as with that pick, it's 8 RB / 8 WR in round 1.

 

[Raging weasel]

Sorry for the delay.

Have been trying to post my picks in bold but it isn't working. In fact, all 4 options(bold,italics,links and emojis) are shaded out and not available to me. Anyone know a cause or fix for this?

Looks like we still need one more to sign up at Yahoo

 

[Eephus]

Looks like we still need one more to sign up at Yahoo

It looks like the league settings in Yahoo still reflect last year's roster slots (3 WR, 6 BN).

It was probably discussed while I was away but will a five man bench be enough to cover byes and injuries?

Updated to 2 WR. I'm assuming 5 BN is so the waiver wire isn't completely bare going back up to 16 teams but yeah it's going to be tight. Maybe an extra IR spot would be a decent way to help? It only has 1 at the moment.

 

[Yo Mama]

I paid $8 for WiFi for this??

The good news is my second flight was delayed an hour after they already boarded everyone, so I’m getting my moneys worth on the United WiFi.

Thought was shorter benches means there might be players on waivers of use and prevents someone from hoarding positions. I am open to a second IR spot. If everyone has a full roster and someone on IR that is 240 players rostered.

It works out to exactly the same amount of players drafted as last year (this year 16 teams x 14 spots, last year 14 teams x 16 spots)

Did we do 2 IR spots last year?

More good news - to help speed up the landing gear tire replacement, they turned off the ac in the plane. So either we’ll be leaving soon or me and the guy next to me will kill each other first from our constant sparring over the arm rest.

I didn't change it, so I believe only one.

I thought my hour flight yesterday was pushing bad because my battery died during boarding and the guy in my aisle left the windowshades up, which is really warm in San Diegan descents.

I do not know why that said "nice hockey equipment for me to borrow." That made absolutely no sense. My phone is haywire and just typing random **** into text boxes and hitting enter. I'm not joking.
