Okay, looks like there's enough interest from the ancient ones to keep the Keeper League alive.
MURP decided to go and get a life, so he asked me to babysit the league this year. Dio will be taking over MURP's team this season.
Based on the final standings last year, here is the draft order for this year;
1. STACKTOWN STALWARTS-- Troy
2. MIGHTY MIDGETS- Mikey
3. C_BUSBUSTER BEATERS-- Chuck
4. TIGHT BALLS- Zanshin
5. Dio's Ragged Company-- Dio
6. T-HAWK'S REVENGE-- Tomahawk
7- ASTROGLIDE-- RJS
8. SWEET SASSY MO-LASSY-- Sarge
And confirmed in this year, we have:
Zanshin
Sarge
Dio
Mikey
Chuck
RJS
Tomahawk
I'll reach out to the other guys to see if they're in. If I don't hear from them in the next week or so, I'll start doling out their spots. FF gets first crack at an orphaned team.

How many are we keeping?
As usual, we'll be keeping:
1 QB
2 RB
2 WR
1 TE/DEF/K
1 Rookie (from last year)
Please start to post your keepers. You can adjust this, as needed, until a week prior to the draft (TBD).
Okay, as for the draft.... How do you guys want to draft this year? On the board, as usual? Live draft? I'm open to suggestions.
Live draft is best.
Who shall I cut?? Hmmm...
So, I'll take Troy's team if it's available.
Also, I can host an actual live draft on my ready-conference call-in number.
I'd rather do it on the board but I don't really care. Also, I don't have any rookies on my roster. How about if I just get to take Tomlinson from Chuck instead. It's only fair.
Name change to: Dio's Ragged Company
I'll keep:
1 QB- Peyton Manning
2 RB- Edgerrin James, Larry Johnson
2 WR- Terrell Owens, Larry Fitzgerald,
1 TE/DEF/K- Alge Crumpler
1 Rookie - Reggie Brown

I'll keep:
1 QB - Matt Hasselbeck
2 RB - Julius Jones, Corey Dillon
2 WR - Tory "Big Game" Holt, Hines Ward
1 TE/DEF/K - L.J. Smith

(None) Can I take a rookie that wasn't on anyone's roster?
farg no you can't take a rookie that isn't on anybody elses roster. You should have thought about that toward the end of the season.
So I go into the draft with one less player on my roster? That doesn't make a bit of sense.
I don't know what to tell you other than you should have picked up a rookie you like(d) at the end of last season, assuming you realized this is a Keeper League.
Your final roster, after the draft and subsequent waiver period, will have the same number of players as everybody else's (unless you're an idiot).
I had Braylon Edwards on my team for most of the season. But due to his injuries and the general suckitude of my (inherited) squad he got dropped.
Whatever, I'm offering up my 4th round pick for a 5th and 7th. Who wants some?!
I'll need all the higher picks I can get, if I end up being in this league.
Busterbeaters -
QB - Donovan McNabb
RB - Rudi Johnson, Ladainian Tomlinson
WR - Joey Galloway, Santana Moss
TE- Heath Miller
R- Brandon Jacobs
RJS...you'll get a supplemental pick at the end of the draft to fill that spot.

Set up the league on Yahoo.

Week 9 is a guaranteed loss due to byes, I guess (this is a H2H league, right?).
That's the way to be optimistic.
And, yeah, it's head to head.
He's not planning on drafting any other players, so yeah..week 9 is a loss.
Quote from: Diomedes on July 06, 2006, 04:01:26 PM

I'll draft other players, but it would be a hell of an upset.
To circumvent any questions, my team's name is Killer Krauts.
I'll choose an apropos team name once I'm certain I get the team.
I have a current offer to rjs to trade my 6th and 7th round picks or my 5th and 8th round picks for his 4th rounder. It's my counter-offer from his previous offer of his 4th for my 5th and 7th.
I am mulling over Fred's offer, but if anyone is interested in my 4th for a 5th and 7th, I'm still game.
That would be a sweet deal for Sarge or T-Hawk.
We didn't really talk about pre-draft trades. To nip any problems in the bud, pre-draft trades involving players are prohibited. Any trades involving draft picks have to be voted on by the league.
Here's my roster:
QB
Carson Palmer
Mike Vick
Charlie Frye
WR
Chris Chambers
Brandon Lloyd
Keenan McCardell
Donte Stallworth
Brandon Stokley
Javon Walker
RB
W. McGahee
M. Anderson
K. Barlow
Willie Parker
Deuce McAllister
TE
J. Shockey
R. McMichael

And my Keepers are:

BTW, you should take rjs' offer - since his 4th is near the beginning of the round and your 5th and 7th are near the end of the respective rounds.

rjs, I went into last season without a rookie from the previous year as well. Of course, that didn't stop me from beating your nancy ass in the championship game.
As for the draft........a live draft is going to work best for me (nights or weekends) because I can no longer access the board from work. Stupid guvment censorship. >:(

Who are the two fargtards? Sarge & ?
Looks like Sarge and Mikey.
I'd love to register. All I need is some registration info.
Well, I guess you better read this thread then.
Got it. I was expecting it to come in the form of a pm. My bad.
Your bad indeed.
That's enough out of you hippy.
So, let's see what Mikey's excuse will be.
Where is it...what page?
I can't find the league info....grrrr.....
Jackass.
Moron
Find it yet?
But ofcourse....although I had to get another yahoo name since apparently there is a limit on fantasy teams....
How many are you in?
5 now....I signed up in some crappy league cuz i was bored and wanted to do a draft, the CCFL NFC, a league with my buddies, a league for my work, and this one...
yahoo only let's you have 4 and i tried deleting the bs team but i couldn't....

Yeah, it's all mine, man. Maybe you can have it back next year after I un-suck it for you. :yay
When are we drafting?
Also, I am considering FF's counter-offer to my initial trade offer. He had offered me a 5th and an 8th for my 4th rounder.
If anyone is interested in giving me a 5th and a 7th I'll take it. Assuming FF doesn't take his offer off the table I'll be willing to listen to trade offers right up until my pick in the 4th round.
Good for you.

The danger with waiting until your pick is that if there's no one on the board at that time I rate much highly than anyone else, I won't take it. The deal is on the table until before the draft starts. After that, I'm not promising anything.
Quote from: Zanshin on July 26, 2006, 02:03:42 PM

Sounds good. Wednesday nights are probably the best for me during the week.
FF brings up a good point. I'm accepting the trade pending FF's final approval.
Okay. I know that some vacation schedules could get in the way the further we get into August. So, how about we get this thing out of the way with a live draft next week, using either FF's conference bridge or a real-time draft thread on the board.
How many people could make next Wednesday at 8pm EST? One week from today.
I could make it next week but its really early. Injuries are going to end up farging someone over with these super-early drafts...

Yeah, but it's a keeper league...so, chances are you're pre-screwed. The best players are already on the rosters...theoretically.
Trade summary:
RJS246 trades the 2nd pick in the 4th round (26th overall)
to
FF for the 1st pick in the 5th round (33rd overal) and the 8th pick in the 8th round (64th overall)

There's nothing "above" thanks to the new 5-post-a-page formatting here on :CF.
I assume you're talking about both approving the draft time (August 2 at 8pm ET) and my trade with rjs. You might want to send a PM to the 5 guys who haven't responded yet, because it can be tough to catch up on threads with all the pages.
Then again, I might not want to do that...and just sort of hope they're paying some semblance of attention.
Actually, screw it. The Keeper League draft is next Wednesday at 8pm. I'll post additional details as they become available. Try your best to be there, or send me an easy to follow list.
There that should help. No reason this needs to be democratic.

Spoken like a veteran commish.
Regarding the trade, sounds good to me.
Once you confirm that you're able to make the live draft, PM me, and I'll send you my conference call # and password.
Yes, everyone has to PM me separately or you won't get the info.
Didn't Zanshin jsut say that we're doing it on the board?

I ran the CFFFL draft on the board with MURP last year and it went smooth as a baby's ass. And we've only got 8 people in this league AND we already have half of our teams (via keepers). We should be able to plow through this puppy.
I have no preference. If it's on the board, I'll be here. If it's via conference call, I'll dial in.
I do not veto the proposed trade.
I'm down with drafting next Wednesday at 7:00 PM CST.
Quote from: Tomahawk on July 26, 2006, 07:57:57 PM
I do not veto the proposed trade.
What are you, a fargin' lawyer?
I was thinking that doing the live draft on the board might be easiest, or a combo with the board and the call. I like the board idea because there's a written record of the proceedings. But it would still be a live draft. Say 1:30 or so per pick. Miss that and the pick gets bumped to the end of the draft and we move to next in line.
Sounds good to me...I like the live draft on the board also so there's a record and it makes it easier to track who was picked.
I think we should have 10 hour time limits and elaborate list requirements.
Did NoneBetta sell you his draft strategy?
Yeah, we met up at the local Child Molestors Anonymous meeting. He's my sponsor.
We should do a combo board and phone. Phone is better for trash talking.
It needs to occur to you that maybe some of us have no earthly interest in hearing your voice.

Get out of our thread, NFC trash. I'll sic a mod on you!!
Um dude, I'm in this league. This is the keeper league. Not the AFC. Illiterate son of a bitch.
And funny that you should mention sicking a mod on me, since that's what you did last year when I mocked you mercilessly for your sloppy AFC draft. The Mods will rescue you from mean old rjs246.
Oh. Ha. I been drinking.

With the likes of

Chuggie, and all the baby-sitting that thing took, I simply couldn't take your crap. The "I'll sic the mods on you" was a jab at myself in reference to just that. You didn't get it, obviously.
Oh I got it, I just thought I'd take the opportunity to mock you in front of an audience.
Good on you for having a sense of humor about yourself though. This place could use more of that.

Being present on the board in mandatory. Phone is encouraged, but optional.
So I reiterate... if you want the farging conference #, PM me.
No.
No shtein, rjs. It's bad enough I read what you fargtards type - hearing you actually speak would induce suicidal tendencies.
Quote from: Tomahawk on July 27, 2006, 10:33:44 AM

Nevermind, I do want that conference number.
Oh snap.
Oops - I meant homicidal.
Yet another trade proposed to rjs:
Anquan Boldin
for
Randy Moss
He said he's mulling it over.
Quote from: Zanshin on July 06, 2006, 12:36:32 PM
RJS...you'll get a supplemental pick at the end of the draft to fill that spot.
I'll now be a player short, but I think it best to make me fill the bench from the waiver wire... and do the same to anyone else who has GM'd themself short a couple of players.
I agree. I picked up an extra pick from FF in the trade so no need for a supplemental pick for me...
Is there an ambitious soul out there who isn't swamped with work who wants to put together a preliminary list of the players already taken?

All the players except the ones on my team ARE broken down by position and alphabetically. You can go ahead and merge my players into the list if you really want it that bad.
P.S. The more I think about doing a live draft on this board, with 5 posts per page, the more my eyes bleed. Doesn't everybody have AIM and we can just do a "chat room" there?
P.P.S. I totally think rjs is totally going to accept my trade offer.
It's going to be on the board.
If you want to bullshtein via IM, that's okay...but the picks will be in a thread I create here.
Can we at least make a rule that only you (commish) and the person on the clock can post in the thread during the draft and if people want to talk trash, they join the conference #? It will get very hard to follow otherwise.
Waah.

The only way you get to be this bitchy is if you paid for the league. Fargin' shut up.
All I'm saying is you can't have a "clock" when you're basing the draft on a piece-of-crap server that likes to go up and down on whims unless you are actually going to use a conference # or an alternate method of online chat to back up the main method of drafting.
Here's the deal, and it's final. We're doing the draft on the board. We'll have two threads, one for offical business and the other for bullshtein.
Also, FF will send each member of the league the conference number and password. Anyone who want's to join the call is welcome to....just for shteins and giggles. HOWEVER, if, for any reason, the CF site craps out...you're obligated to join the call to finish the draft, or we just move on with the people on the call.

Good call.
That's why they pay me the big buck.
I sent out PM's to mostly everyone. If I missed anyone, they'll have to PM Zanshin or me for it, because they suck.
Dude there are only 8 of us. You only had to PM 7 people. If you forgot anyone you should probably just die.

Zanshin

Dio

So, I guess I got everyone.
Just die anyway.

there are two reasons why this isn't even close to funny.
1) by the 200th time, it stopped being mildly amusing
2) its obvious that you maticulously typed that, and probrably even deleted and edited it. judging by how far apart the keys are on the keyboard.
Not that anyone's counting or anything.

That was the point, so the fact that you noticed that re-energizes me to try it again.
Having read over this entire thread and based on the commentary within I can see I'll have no problem defending my title over you idiots. Happy Days are here again.
We should just do a live draft through yahoo. We could pick the players we designated as keepers with our first few picks.

Simple, but that made me laugh.
Me too. Ass.
:yay
So um...yeah, who's going to set up the initial 'draft' thread that has the players that are "keepers" and who are off the board before the draft even starts?
So, um...yeah...I'm going to set that thread up tomorrow for the draft, and you can find the players off the board in this thread...if, you know, you actually look.
If you draft someone already drafted, you get a player assigned to you by Zanshin instead.

I'm supposed to be getting ready for the draft tomorrow. Instead, I'm drinking and making witty remarks on the internet.

Technically, I'm on the clock. I'm ready to pick whenever, but Mikey would have all day to pick, then.
So, I'll wait until 8pm.
P.S. I am looking to make some deals today before the draft. I'm willing to talk about dealing Stephen Jackson, Steve Smith, Anquan Boldin. I like my players but would like some better flexibility on my bye weeks.
If not, oh well. I'm not just going to give players away.
I mentioned earlier that trades involving players weren't being entertained prior to the draft ;-)
Okay, a couple of things. I'm sure you've seen the official draft thread. If not, please go take a quick look. I know there were a couple of pre-draft trades-- please let me know where that affects the draft order so I can adjust it appropriately.
Also, I need a volunteer to keep up with the "Players Taken" list during the course of the draft. I'm going to be updating the Draft Results. If you can maintain the list, please cut-and-paste the "Players Taken" section of the thread and post it under your name so you can edit it. I'll then delete my original entry.
Thanks!

Yes, but you did edit that recently.
I made up my list on Thursday of unavailable players, and Deuce was still your choice at that time.
Also, there should be 8 rounds in the draft, not 7.
Edit: Nevermind...FF said he'll update the Players Taken.

I will draft for you if you like. Jabar Gaffney and Reno Mahe can't wait to suit up for Sweet Sassy Mo Lassy.
I'll send in a list then.

Heading into Kansas?
That's not the plan but you just never know. :-D :-D :-D
Ass.
So, basically, your team has zero chance of repeating. How does that make you feel?
The players I kept are the players I started pretty much all year last year. I'll be fine. But thank you for your concern.
If I were you, I'd be concerned with the injury that took Chad Johnson out of training camp today.
I'm bored lets get this shtein rolling early.

Of course I know it's not through Yahoo! Dick.
If Dio was tossing some sarcasm out there then I've clearly come to this battle unarmed... that probably bodes well for the rest of you re: this draft...

You wanted Dom Davis so bad, it hurts! Don't even lie!
In other news, you can dial in to my conference line at any time to hear the fantastic hold music.
I was going to call in but I'm in the basement cuz it's so damn hot and I dont get reception down here. And it's a running back, but it's not double D
Since the draft hasn't started yet, I decided I'm going to change my keepers.

Of course it's not him. I already picked him.
It wasn't going to be him even if he was there....
Lies.
So make the pick....I'm waiting :-D
Let's get it on.
Mikey makes the first massive mistake of the 2006 draft.
Haha...naw...just securing a rookie keeper at RB...it was either him or Addai....
Bush ain't gonna make you happy this year, or ever.
So what's the hold-up?
where's chuck dammit?
He and FF are having phone sex on the conference call.
Again?
Is there a time limit on picks? If it was posted, I didn't see it.
The time limit is whenever Zanshin feels like it. So just make your picks.

It's something like a minute and a half. I'm not gonna get all pissed if it takes anyone a bit longer.
I am. And you guys don't want to see me when I'm pissed.
Come on nerds, get your nerd sheets out and make your picks already.
Sarge, get your head out of your ass and pick.
Did Sarge send a list?
You guys are all terrible at this. Picking good players I mean.
Tomahawk makes the second big mistake.
I'm already happy with my team.
Dio might make a mistake if he doesn't pick soon.
Also the stringent time limit scares the bejebus out of me since I have zero prep.
And wonderful. Thank you for being unprepared.
Pipe down, princess. It's not costing anybody anymore time than could be reasonably expected.
Read, moron. I'm the guy who said he wouldn't get all upset if people ran over a bit. I'm thanking you for picking your defense so early. Wonderful tactic, that.
Yeah, you'll think that when the Eagles' D scores more TDs than Addai and Gore combined.
Those guys are my second string bro. You SEEN my RBs? Suck em big balls bro.
Did anyone actually call in? Romes.
Regardless, the point is I'm an idiot. But what's more relevant is rjs just proved he is truly a taterskins Lover.
And WHO is going to throw to Coles?
Why did I forget about Thomas Jones? Oh yeah, the aformentioned idiocy. I like the pick, chuck.
Coles will throw to himself and run an endless string of end-arounds. JUST YOU WAIT!

Sadly, Mikey, Baskett isn't in the DB.
Sarge...looks like you're short a player.
Edit: Nevermind. You left out Jamal Lewis.
I've entered the results and published the league. Just a heads up.
I thought I was a player short when I posted that but I was ready to crash as soon as I got back last night. Thanks for catching that.
Damnit.......does that mean I just get dibbs on him when he is added or...?
You can either get dibbs on him when he gets added, or you can add another player now....but not both.
Quote from: Zanshin on August 04, 2006, 05:22:01 PM
You can either get dibbs on him when he gets added, or you can add another player now....but not both.
Hmmm... I wonder which of those is the better decision...
I win.
Right now I'll just keep the rights to Baskett...
Good call.
I went with two RBs in our keeper draft: Joseph Addai and Frank Gore. Y'all laughed then, and you may laugh last, but for the time being, I'm smiling.
I liked Addai as a rookie pick in a keeper who might get some hefty playing time. Since then, Mungro has blown out his knee, so Addai will see more touches even if he doesn't win the starting role from Rhodes, which he might yet do...
I took Gore because he looked good at times last year, he's young, and Barlow hardly had a lock on the starting role at draft time. Now that Barlow was dumped to the Jets, Gore will be the season long starter, barring injury.
LJ
Edge
Gore
Addai
Not a bad group at RB in a keeper league.
It's 8 teams. Everyone's team is "not bad".
Yeah well mine got better over the last few days, and yours didn't. So suck it, Mr. Smug.
Mine has nowhere to go but up - the one benefit of taking over a last place team.
Cedric Benson and Jake Delhomme didn't make my week 1 roster. Get 'em while they're hot.
I have a trade offer for the league.
I'll give up Trent Green for a 7th Round pick in next year's draft. that is incredibly accurate. HA!
^^^blatant attempt to get something for Green before he drops him for Delhomme^^^
I hate you.
Steve Smith's hamstring is now someone else's problem.
The inclusion of Reggie Brown for Donte' Stallworth was a genius move! GENIUS!
RJS-- excellent use of negative points. And it's quite an accomplishment to have half of your points come from your defense. Well done, sir.
Kicking Sassy's ass is a blast.
Scoring more points than the rest of the league in week one...also fun!
rjs, why did you drop Coles?
Coles scores positive points. RJS wants none of that nonsense.
I took this piece of crap team from last year, drafted Domanick Davis 1st overall in the draft, and still won easily.
Go me.
Eli tried his damnedest to save my keeper team this week, but 61 needs only 6 points or so from Fred Taylor to win.
For the second week in a row, I've won both of my H2H leauges. In my money league and in the keeper. 4-0 ain't bad. Also, I'm doing nicely in my points league, and I even managed 13 correct picks this week in the pick 'em, so I'm now showing a respectable score there...
Conclusion: I rule.
Quote from: Diomedes on September 18, 2006, 09:01:46 AM

I'm impressed with your correct San Fran upset pick.
I also have 13 correct so far.
Alex Smith likes Antonio Bryant and everyone likes Frank Gore. I picked the latter in every fantasy league, and now I'm looking smurt for it.

Yep, you're dead.
I know. I also have Taylor on the bench in another league. Fate sealed.
Basically, worst-case scenario for me with my two H2H leagues that aren't already a lost cause is that JAX is able to run all over Pittsburgh, and they are forced to go pass-wacky to try to come back... so Roethlisberger gets a ton of yards but maybe only one TD. In my money league, I have a nice lead, but he has Big Ben and the Jax D.
I have some outstanding RBs and some terrible everything else.
Anyone up for a trade? I have 4 starting RBs and a backup and all of them are putting up decent - very good numbers.
I'll give you T.O. for Warrick Dunn.
I'll punchasize your face. For free.
Suit yourself loser.
The Cardinals v. Rams matchup will probably determine the outcome of my matchup this weekend.
Astroglide just added Kurt Warner to start for him, and I've got Larry Fitzgerald starting. In all likelihood, they'll cancel each other out. I'm also starting Edge, and Wilkins.
Kurt Warner was a great spot-starter for me. I think Vick is a better backup long-term to Eli for me.
Warner just hooked up for a TD with...Fitzgerald. Keep it up Warner.
He also lost a key fumble, and my team didn't need him this week. All hail Westbrook.
All this talk doesnt matter because I'm going to start to dominate the league...

Coles leads the league in receptions and he's 3 yards behind Marvin Harrison for most yards. rjs cut him September 1st. Ha.

How did this shteinbox of a team make the championship game last season?
Oh right, my ridiculous GM'ing skills.
Double Ha!
And I don't care if my team is 0-3 right now. [Cowboys Fan]My team's got rings. How many rings you got?[/Cowboys Fan]
I'm gonna go throw up now.
Well, farg you very much, Westbrook.
If you were smurt, you'd have Buck to sub in for at least a shadow of a chance. Counting on Westbrook to start is teh stoopid.
Good point. I could have at least had him in WR/RB. That would have been smart. I eat ass. A lot of ass.
This kind of thing is exactly why it's important to have the backup. It's nice for when you know well beforehand that a guy is gonna be out, but you have other options (trade, waiver wire) when you have notice. When the prior notice is measured in minutes rather than days, waivers and trades are already on hold for the week, so you need to have a body to throw into the lineup.
In my money league, I've got Tiki and Buck. Another dude has Westbrook and Jacobs. I just got him on the phone, broke the news, and seeded ground for a Jacobs/Westbrook trade. He'll bite, I'll have gained the better back, but we'll both be in better positions than we are now.
Yeah, if this were a money league, I would have been a little more careful. I'd still lose, though.

This part goes without saying.
Well, this team was the bottom-feeder of the league last year, so I've done OK. But yeah.
The "I inherited a lousy team" refrain is getting old. It's easy for me to say that though...MURP set me up nice. Even so, I've improved the team. I r0XoR
My team's gone to complete shyte this year. I inherited it like 3 years ago I think and improved it each year, culminating with my domination of rjs in the championship game last year. This year I have yet to win a game. I think it's a curse. A curse that curses greatness.
Happened to me last year. Won the championship, then the wheels came off ;-).
Randy Moss and Shaun Alexander.
Stop. Your. Bitching.
Undefeated through five.

You and me both. Except I'm the exact opposite.
My team is destined for greatness. I scored the 2nd lowest and still won ;D
Sassy, are you really going into this week without a QB? For farg sake man...
In the Astroglide v. Killer Krauts mactchup, I'm intrigued by each team's selection of a swing player. Both went with WRs who should be good, but have sucked donkey balls so far this year: Randy Moss for rjs and Hines Ward for 61. Neither team had a better option due to byes, unless you count Marion Barber III as a better option than Ward. I'm interested to see if either player makes a contribution. If I had to choose which one, I'd bet that Ward has the better chance of helping the cause.

Starting Ward was a stroke of genius on my part as he scored
.20 more than Barber and almost
-2 times as many points Astroglide's starting QB.
My team put together a nice couple of wins against two of the best teams in the league the last couple of weeks.
Looks like I may eek out my first win of the season. I'm actually a little pissed. I was looking forward to setting a :CF record for futility. Oh well, I should still get the first pick in the draft next year anyways. So I got that going for me. Except for the fact that all the good players are already taken.
I doubt you can make a worse first overall pick than I did this year.
I must begrudgingly relinquish ownership of my team.
Why on Earth would you have to do that? Can't afford the ante?
Well, to be honest-- we didn't post our rosters at the end of the year and I can no longer access it. So we might all be in screwedsville.

Hahaha. Oops.
I say we start a new keeper league. I had relinquished my team back to troy, but I'll take Homohawk's spot.
So, we have 8:
Dio
Zanshin
rjs
mikey
Sarge
troy
me
chuck, or MURP? I forget.
Let's go to 10 or 12 teams for the new keeper league. The 8 team league's a crapshoot anyway. Plus, it'll be fun to re-draft and start fresh.
Easy to say when your team sucked.
All the same, IN.
Murp was the commish; for personal reasons he asked me to do it last year. He's welcome to having it back, if he's up to it. If not, I'll do it again.
My vote would be to expand it to 10 teams. I like 12-team leagues, but that gets tougher to maintain consistently from year-to-year here.
i'd be in if you started fresh

Ha! I took the last place team and made it to the championship game. Since I'm a true Eagles fan, I obviously have no idea what it takes to WIN the championship, but I got in there and competed.
I can't wait to draft Kevin Curtis in the first round.

I moved for work and don't plan on paying for internet connectivity.

That's an easy fix dook. Check and see if your neighbor has a wireless router and then run your wireless card (if you have one. if not, get one) off of their router.
My sister lives in this quaint little apt complex in Frederick, MD and she hasn't paid for teh internets since she got there (almost 2 years) because her neighor has a wireless network set up so my sister just taps into that with her card. And when I went up there over x-mas, I ran my laptop off of it too.
Free intrawebs rule.
Oh, and I'm also not opposed to starting a new league so long as I am able to keep the draft position that I worked so hard to get. Keeper League champ one year, worst record in the league the following.
That only works if the neighbor is operating an unsecured wireless network within range.

No. If we start over, draft position is random. You'll get nothing and like it.
"If" we start over? We don't really have a choice. Other than not playing.

Sir! Yes Sir!
So are we doing a keeper league this year or what?
If someone starts it I'm happy to continue with the keeper league. I don't even remember who else was in it.
I gave up my spot and don't want it back.
I won last year so I'm happy to go down as the last winner of the CF keeper league
Ah fargit. I'll start it if last year's members want to keep it going. Just PM me.
I sent out the invites. FF says he doesn't want in, so if anyone wants it its theirs otherwise farg you all.
Troy and Chuck have also been more or less MIA. If I don't hear from these clowns we could have spots open. Or we could just scrap the league. Or I could run a two-man league against Tomahawk and we could send each other secret messages and play hide the potato. Either way I'm good.
