Got a tip for us?

I am Greece, so that could be an issue too. If its anytime before 1am my time (7 hours ahead of the EST), I dont have any issues.
Pretty cool.

The league is set everyone with a total of 12 teams. I still need an email from a few of you with best times for the live draft. Right now I'm looking at next Tues, Wed, or Thurs as possibilities.
Allright everyone, last time I checked there were still three people who had not yet joined the league (answered their invite). If for some reason you have not received your invitation then please let me know. I resent invites last night. I've also sent out an email about the live draft. Right now we are targeting this Wednesday at 8:00 PM US Central time. That means it's after 5:00 on the west coast and not too late for the East Coast. I'm not sure if we have any international players. I need everyone to send me an email or post here to let me know if this works. Obviously, we are not going to find a perfect time that works for everyone, but we'll do our best to accommodate the majority of players. I'm getting really excited as we get closer to the season. This should be a lot of fun.
Oh yeah, I also went to the Cowboys vs. Titans preseason game last Friday. It was the first game in the new stadium. All I can say is WOW! That place is amazing.
And just in case you were wondering, I'm from Nashville originally, so the Titans are my #1 team.
Talk to everyone soon.

I haven't actually sent out the draft email just yet. I wanted to give everyone today to respond. Time is 8pm US Central so I believe that's 9pm Eastern.
Okay. Draft email is out. It's Wednesday August 26th at 8:45 US Central time. I hope this strikes a balance for everyone. We still have one person yet to sign in to the league. Yep, I'm talking about you rhett7660. Please respond to the invite email and if you haven't then let me know ASAP and we'll figure out what went wrong. See everyone soon.
Saying right now I won't be able to do this draft live so my team will sucks probably to the benefit of you others.
Sorry J do you have a friend or someone who could draft for you until you get out of Cali traffic? I was in a league a couple of years ago where a guy totally forgot about the draft and he was out on the lake drunk with no internet access. He called his brother at the last minute who signed on for him to do his draft. The brother made great picks and the guy actually won the entire league.
Draft is tonight!
Just a reminder to everyone that the draft is tonight. 8:45 PM CST. I've heard from a few of you, but I hope everyone else remembers.
To those of you who expressed interest in joining the league, but didn't hear from me. I'm sorry, we capped the teams at 12. I think there's only two of you that have inquired after that point. If you guys can rally some others maybe we could get enough up to have a second league of 8 or more teams.

Nice drafting all, it was good to get through a 12 team draft within an hour (or so). Here's hoping the Brady-Moss connection pays off this season...
Let the Season Begin
The draft is done and I think everyone did pretty well. It did go a lot faster then I expected. 12 teams, I think 9 of us where there live and we were done in under an hour and a half. Good work people. So, let the trash talking commence and let's get ready for some serious fun.

I responded and thankfully awarded the first pick!!!! Teehee....
Don't know what happened with the invite thou. That is weird. But it was all worked out in the end!
I have a million RBs to trade for a decent (above 180 point) WR.
Check out my team for trade proposals.
Check out my team for trade proposals.
I need a WR, over 170.
I got a kicker that I can let go..
God, I'm happy with all of my team, except this extra kicker.
I also have T.J. Duckett as a RB if anybody wants to trade.

Schedule Set
Hey all,
I've updated the weekly schedule so it's finalized and set where everyone will play each division opponent twice and everyone else in the league once. This Thursday is the first game so be sure to have your line up set before then.

So the week's first game locks the full roster? Or does each players game lock him in?
Also, still have the extra 1/4backs that I am willing to trade.
Each player is locked in at 5min before kickoff of their game. So, if you have any Titans or Steelers on your roster and you want to play them then make sure they are in your starting line up before game time tonight. It's going to be a fun season and tonight should be a great game. I can't wait to get home from work.
