Greg has been getting us the Bellagio suite since we started these leagues in 2012 and it's a perfect atmosphere to hang out, watch the game and draft. Tom & Darik handled the cash auctions and tricky league setup flawlessly, as always. I know I'm not the only one that can't miss Vegas because of these leagues.
Weekly payouts (1-17) will be record highs with $1000 for the 14tm (Kickoff Gridiron XI) and $930 for the 12tm (Post-Game Gridion VI).
My 14 teamer looks OK. I felt better about it before I realized A Robinson had switched positions from WR to DR (decoy receiver). But looking over the rosters, it seems everyone has weak spots so maybe I can be competitive anyway. The 14 team defending champ Ramon Valentin was back to confuse Tom with his Spanish pronunciations.
My 12 teamer looks better; I paid up for McCaffrey and post-game-40pt Josh Allen. Off to a good start anyway. I won the 12 last year ahead of Michael Cole and Chris Eibl who finished 2/3 and 3/2 in the two contests, they both drafted better than me (my one good/one bad draft) in spite of missing the glory of a league title. Across the two leagues, a total of 16 of 26 teams cashed weekly wins.
Anyone else want to comment on how your team is looking post-draft? I'll post weekly winners here too.
