As little as possible... We try to keep flow going, but understand that there will be times when someone just is not available... such as overnite here in the States. Early rounds we're more patiently impatient... . But as the rounds go by, and the picks become less critical, we will get antsy after a couple hours. I will send PMs (when I am awake and online) to at least the next three who will be picking. In our baseball parlance this is: At Bat... On Deck... and... In The Hole. If you see one of your teams coming up and know you will not be online to make the pick, you can send three (or so) alternative picks in order of preference to your Commissioner (me) and I'll make the pick for you.

In a PM reply One Post is in and has the Rams-Pats combo...

Assuming I can drum up enough folk to fill out the GM spots.... it looks to me like Saturday, March 16 would be a good day to kick this off. FA is over. Initial wave of trades will be done. What say y'all?

Damn... my name looks good on trophies...

Thanks darren for keeping this rolling while I was out of pocket... last minute trip last week... all week. Can you please copy/paste the latest list into your OP? Thanks in advance. This weekend I'll PM last year's participants that have yet to re-up...

Plus, Nero, it actually can help to have Euro time zone folk in the mix.

Here's updated list with: second team of each pair underlined, and Pats/Rams order reversed. 1. CARDINALS...... Flyin J 2. 49ERS ............... Flyin J 3. JETS ................ Darren 4. RAIDERS ........... Darren 5. BUCCS 6. GIANTS 7. JAGUARS 8. LIONS 9. BILLS .................. Texas Ag 10. BRONCOS .......... Texas Ag 11. BENGALS ........... stillmotion 12. PACKERS ........... stillmotion 13. DOLPHINS 14. FALCONS 15. REDSKINS........... GUMBY73 16. PANTHERS......... GUMBY73 17. BROWNS ............ tia 18. VIKINGS ............. tia 19. TITANS 20.

He has participated in the past...

First, yes, tia has the Browns-Vikes at my invite. Second... Sorry Gip, consecutive picks only. So your choices are Titans-Steelers or Seahawks-Ravens. CARDINALS...... Flyin J 49ERS ............... Flyin J JETS ................ Darren RAIDERS ........... Darren BUCCS GIANTS JAGUARS LIONS BILLS .................. Texas Ag BRONCOS .......... Texas Ag BENGALS ........... stillmotion PACKERS ........... stillmotion DOLPHINS FALCONS REDSKINS........... GUMBY73 PANTHERS......... GUMBY73 BROWNS VIKINGS TITANS STEELERS SEAHAWKS RAVENS TEXANS ........ Tour COWBOYS .... Tour ====> (RAIDERS ..... Darren) EAGLES COLTS BEARS =============> (RAIDERS .... Darren) CHARGERS CHIEFS SAINTS =============> (PACKERS .. stillmotion) PATRIOTS RAMS 

So let it be written... so let it be done. Historically we've not done trades... we've pnly reflected any swaps made prior to the start of a round by the real teams... but if the group wants to do trades from the time of all teams being assigned to a week before the start of our draft, then I'd be fine with that. still, we give out pairs that follow each other at least in Round 1. Speeds things up when folks have consecutive picks. So either Rams-Pats or Bengals-Pack are your choices if you want to net at least one of your preferred teams.

Plus AZ has so many needs they just may deal the first overall...

Thanks... now where is my $50-mil????

Hue must have lost the Electoral College... Good stuff Dutch... thanks for doing this.

Assuming I don't have a time conflict, then I'll run the draft. While I'll stick with the twin Texas teams, I will reserve the right to assign the Browns-Vikings combo to a Board Member... I already have someone in mind.

Is that a first?

I'll take the Texas teams... Modified the list per request I made earlier. CARDINALS 49ERS JETS ................ Darren RAIDERS ........... Darren BUCCS GIANTS JAGUARS LIONS BILLS BRONCOS BENGALS PACKERS DOLPHINS FALCONS REDSKINS GUMBY73 PANTHERS GUMBY73 BROWNS VIKINGS TITANS STEELERS SEAHAWKS RAVENS TEXANS ........ Tour COWBOYS .... Tour ====> (RAIDERS ..... Darren) EAGLES COLTS BEARS ====> (RAIDERS .... Darren) CHARGERS CHIEFS PACKERS PATRIOTS RAMS 

Horseshoes, hand-grenades and Dutch's 18 Q's...

Hey darren... for sign up purposes how 'bout editing your OP: number the picks Label #24 "Cowboys" Label #28 "Bears" Can put "Raiders" in parentheses next to the picks that original owners traded away.

Reminder to pick teams that at least start off back to back to minimize waits for folks offline...

Seven fewer yards than Flying J, but double FJ's number of TDs... and Flugs gets the nod??? RECOUNT!!!!

Ah... but if we ratio up to a full 16 games we see: 1019 yards 13 TDs I accept your apology... 😎

Could do a Browns' QB look... TT: 473 yards with 2 touchdowns, 2 interceptions. BM: 3725 yards, with 27 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Total: 4193 yd 29 TD 16 INT Me: TT- 1020, 5, 2 + BM- 2974, 28, 15 = 3994, 33, 17 ... I'd probably just win again, tho... Don't sell yourself short... us only scoring 275 was pretty "dumb"...

Hey! I won something! Simply did not see Connors coming... or going...

I seem to remember there being more than two questions...
