NFC- CFFFL discussions

[MURP]

this thread is limited to posters from the CFFFL NFC only who are talking about the league, any other outside nonsense will be deleted so keep the crap to another thread.  thanks

This will be the NFC discussion area for whatever we need to talk about.   Dio will start a discussion thread for the AFC.   Appologies to anyone who wanted to join but didnt get in.  Just not enough spaces to get anymore people in this year.  There is always next year, and there are plenty more contests to join for the season, so stay tuned.

The first order of business is the draft order.   Draft order will be determined this way.  I have a list of countries listed below.  Each country has a corresponding draft slot attached to it.   I have sent the country/draft slot list to someone on the board who is not participating in fantasy football.    Each of you needs to select a country.  Whichever country you select will have a draft slot and that will be your draft position.   Each country can only be selected once so first come first serve.   I will take whichever country is not picked so I have no say in which draft slot I get.  After everyone makes a pick, the poster whom I sent the list will post the results.   


We also need to determine how our draft will work.  Years past we have done it on the board.  It takes quite  awhile to do (over a week), but it is fun to some degree.   This year I am seriously leaning towards a live draft on yahoo.  I will set a date and you need to show up and draft, or rank your players and have yahoo select for you.    I want to hear ideas about what kind of draft you want.  If you guys want a board draft I need some serious help this year.   I need people in the NFC who will help out and keep track of things.

ok, so pick your country and lets hear and opinions/concerns about whatever.

1. Iran

2.  I like the draft on the board because it leads to good discussion.  However, I understand it is a pain in the ass to commish and won't object to a yahoo live draft.  Want to let you know that I have Guard duty on August 6-7, so those would not be good dates for me.  I think we have a pretty good group in the NFC and don't think we would have a problem with a board draft.  Let me know how I can help.  I know some people want to wait for training camp, but is it any different for a NFL GM?  If we start the draft early, maybe we could allow people whose players are injured in camp, to pick-up their backups before the start of the season if they have not already been selected.  For example, you have Buckhalter but, as usual, he blows out a knee in camp.  Someone will already have picked Westbrook but you have the opportunity to pick up Moats before the start of the season, if no one else has selected him.  Just a thought so we can get this thing on the road.

1. Russia 

2. I like doing the draft either way. I don't remember last year being much of a problem for us, but I do for the other conference. I prefer the board draft for the great, funny conversations it brings, so put me down for that.

3. Team name: Dark Angels

[Zanshin]

1. Mexico.  Now let me dig my toes into the sand, grab some tunes and relax by the waves with an ice-cold Bohemia before I kick your asses.

2. I'd be down for a live draft-- but I think the people who couldn't make it would be at a pretty serious disadvantage because of the way the yahoo rankings work.  Maybe we could float a few dates to see how many people could actually make it?  I'm cool either way, though.

Team name:  Tight Balls.

[Zanshin]

Can we also list our team names in our replies?  Sometimes it's tough to put a team with the poster here....

[Geowhizzer]

With the fourth selection of the International Lottery, the Hurricane Dodgers select

North Korea


As for the draft, I'm OK either way.

[Tomahawk]

Columbia

I don't know my team name. I think it is currently Blah.

I prefer drafting through the board than a live draft.

[rjs246]

1. Rwanda, bitches.

2. Since I am clearly on the board a lot and enjoy the occasional shtein talking I would prefer to do it on here, but if there are sucker bitches who are going to slow shtein down, than I'll do the live draft.

3. Mud Butt... will almost certainly be changing.

1.  YugoSlavia - Had to think hard about this one and ask myself "what would Schiavo do" since I'm Schiavo's Battle Cry.  And since when the battle cry is heard, there is slavia that runs down the face and chin.

2.  Either doing the draft on here or a live one works - just let me know the night if it's live.  I'm guessing that we have to do it in the evening since that's when everyone is usually availible or can be availible.  Let's get this puppy started.

[/b]That's some excellent use of the bold feature.

Jesus, you screwed it up so badly that I can't even properly make fun of it... quite a feat.

1. pakistan

2. i am going to be on my honeymoon for a lot of august...so i vote for the yahoo thing. but if it's on here, i'll send some kind of random list to whomever to make my picks.

3. Ralph Wiggum's Boobs (aka, the CF Seahawks for the conference switch)

[mussa]

Iraq

I don't care how we draft, just let us all know the date if we go live draft, some might be on vacation.

Team:  RedBeards

[MURP]

Since Troy is nowhere to be found JeffreyPA is taking the last spot in the NFC.   Welcome Jeffrey. 

[MURP]

ok, so phreak and Jeffrey need to pick a country then get on to the draft.   Looks like the NFC voted for a board draft.   Thats fine, but I need atleast 1 person to volunteer to be on here a lot and actually post the draft stuff, keep track of who was drafted etc along with me.    This is why:   If I posted all of it nobody can go in and edit the post to keep it updated.   If someone else (mikey last year) posts it, he can I can go in and edit the thread to keep it updated.  Makes it much smoother.   Also, if you are not going to be around for a certain day, OR EVEN THINK YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE AROUND, you must IM me a list of whom you want.   

The draft will start in the next couple days, so be on the lookout. 

[Zanshin]

I'd go a step further and say that you or whatever powers that be should have a list from EVERYONE in case something unexpected comes up.  If there's a car accident and you can't get on the board for six hours, get well soon...but let's keep the draft moving.  It can't hurt to provide a few names every day for the duration of this thing.
