Mine just said
"C+ ...loser."
They didn't capitalize the "loser" part, so I'm feelin' pretty good about that.

Smartest move of the night was the daughter making a beeline for the bedroom upon her arrival. Great time guys, and I will testify that Shuke had the largest bite of the night in true Shuke fashion.

QB: Tom Brady, Andy Dalton
RB: Matt Forte, Zac Stacy, Shane Vereen, Bobby Rainey
WR: Jordy Nelson, Tavon Austin, Jeremy Maclin, Kenny Stills, Wes Welker
TE: Zach Ertz, Eric Ebron
PK: Matt Prater
TD: Seattle Seahawks, New York Jets
Overview:
Let's start by remarking that we appreciate your old-school leanings: you have a team marked by strength at the running back position. Because the position is so sought after, a team constructed like this usually has a chance to make the playoffs. But with the quarterback and wide receiver both being less strong, you may need to do something to change the outlook of this team. Your deficiencies are likely to show themselves through the bye weeks, so try to manuever early in improving the quarterback and/or receiver positions before week four.
Keep an eye out for quarterbacks like Nick Foles from last year, Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck from the year before, and Cam Newton the year before that. All were available cheap in August, and all contributed to fantasy championship teams. Similarly, wide receivers like Julian Edelman, Keenan Allen, and Riley Cooper were available after a lot of the drafts last season. Landing some of this year's top waiver players would be a huge help, so pay close attention to increased workloads, targets, injuries, etc.
Bottom line:
With great inseason management, we think you have about a 65 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With good inseason management, we think you have about a 50 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With average inseason management, we think you have a 28 percent chance of making the playoffs.
In any event, we wish you the best of luck. Here's hoping all your weeks are like week 6 of 2012:
Jordy Nelson vs. HOU: 121 receiving yards, 3 TD
Wes Welker vs. SEA: 138 receiving yards, 1 TD
Andy Dalton vs. CLE: 381 passing yards, 3 TD
Jeremy Maclin vs. DET: 130 receiving yards, 1 TD
QB: Tom Brady, Andy Dalton
RB: Matt Forte, Zac Stacy, Shane Vereen, Bobby Rainey
WR: Jordy Nelson, Tavon Austin, Jeremy Maclin, Kenny Stills, Wes Welker
TE: Zach Ertz, Eric Ebron
PK: Matt Prater

QB: Andrew Luck
RB: Jamaal Charles, LeVeon Bell, Fred Jackson, Bernard Pierce, Khiry Robinson, Ahmad Bradshaw
WR: Alshon Jeffery, Cordarrelle Patterson, Brandin Cooks, Terrance Williams, Steve Smith, Jarrett Boykin
TE: Kyle Rudolph
PK: Robbie Gould
TD: New England Patriots
Overview:
In a competitive league, almost every team has a weakness. It's almost impossible to build a team that is strong at all three core positions (quarterback, running back and wide receiver). Your backs and receivers look just fine. And while it's probably not accurate to describe a team with Andrew Luck as weak at the position, we do think you're dangerously thin. As Tom Brady reminded us of in 2008, even quarterbacks with spotless health records can go down at any time. Thus the lack of depth at QB is what's keeping this team from getting our full endorsement.
So although this team isn't perfect (few are), it should still be a strong contender.
Players we particularly like on this team include Cordarrelle Patterson, Andrew Luck, Ahmad Bradshaw, Bernard Pierce, and the Patriots defense. We have all these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.
Bottom line:
With great inseason management, we think you have about a 85 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With good inseason management, we think you have about a 75 percent chance of making the playoffs.
With average inseason management, we think you have a 66 percent chance of making the playoffs.
In any event, we wish you the best of luck. Here's hoping all your weeks are like week 13 of 2013:
Alshon Jeffery vs. MIN: 249 receiving yards, 2 TD
Fred Jackson vs. ATL: 78 combined yards, 2 TD
LeVeon Bell vs. BAL: 136 combined yards, 1 TD
Jamaal Charles vs. DEN: 120 combined yards, 1 TD
QB: Andrew Luck
RB: Jamaal Charles, LeVeon Bell, Fred Jackson, Bernard Pierce, Khiry Robinson, Ahmad Bradshaw
WR: Alshon Jeffery, Cordarrelle Patterson, Brandin Cooks, Terrance Williams, Steve Smith, Jarrett Boykin

Same here. Thanks Guster for hosting and the poker coaching - and thanks again to Patriot John for that applewood smoked pork butt.
We didn't discover electricity but I did some intensive lab tests with a bottle of Stoli.

Despite an Exciting Set of WRs, Binky Should Have Autodrafted Draft Summary
For some the 11th overall pick is a challenge, for others its a blessing, but for Binky it looks to be a curse and an early indicator of the season ahead. Most teams in the league will pick up an easy win against Binky, resulting in their projected 3-11-0 (1,657) record and 11th-place finish in FBG of Cincinnati League. They stocked up on pass catchers right out of the gate using their top three selections to snag WRs Dez Bryant (11th overall), Brandon Marshall (14th), and Vincent Jackson (35th). Binky will rely heavily on this group, as they are the best group of WRs in the league.
Your welcome.

Draft Summary
In correlation with this draft, Tomato Pie has decided to open a nice little side business that teaches inferior opponents how to draft like a boss. After Tomato Pie hopped off the bus they used to take the rest of these kids to school, they built a roster that's projected to finish first in FBG of Cincinnati League with a record of 10-4-0 (1,714 points). They didn't target any one position early, selecting QB Peyton Manning (8th overall), RB Ryan Mathews (32nd), WR Julio Jones (17th), and TE Jordan Cameron (41st) within the first five rounds. They have the highest-scoring QB duo in the league, as they added Manning and Tony Romo.
Nice draft. If there were a Fantasy Football Hall Of Fame, you should nominate yourself. Wait, there is? And you can??

the dudes who got to pick divisions should be last in waivers IMO, huge advantage there.
That was a touch difficult to watch. They should all 3 be in the same division with me.

Yes. I think the waivers will run tomorrow though, followed by FA until wk1, followed by normal WW process.
As for the order just for tomorrow, it looks like reverse order of you joining. Which is neat
After week 1 though, reverse order of standings.

Odin and I are both 5-0. Trogg is 4-1 and might be better than both of us (at least me)

Should I even bother to start a kicker against shook? I kind of want to hang on to Vinatieri. And yes I have no idea how to spell his name.
