I thought my photo pretty much summed up your post. If it is not your idea, you cry like a little baby.bidding points for draft slots was NOT my idea but i support that. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT AND YOU SOUND MUCH MORE INTELLIGENT.

what i don't support is shitt. call em like i see em. random, kds, 3rd round wrap-around all suck. they don't do anything to address the fundamental problem of allocating draft slots.

Question: If it sucks that much, why do you play?i do wonder that sometimes.

maybe i won't play anymore.

maybe i'll get together with some of the brightest minds in the fantasy industry and start a new national contest. one that allows people to pay for draft slots using their own quantified amounts. you know the FREE MARKET. and one that ELIMINATES all of the headaches of H2H scheduling and leagues.

maybe i'll shut up and continue to play games where a select few have a "house" advantage.

Great idea. Small market.

Over/under is three leagues and incredible sums lost trying to market it. JMO. Good Luck.

GG, much better. Thanks

I speak for most and for a variety of reasons when I say that I hope you continue to play in the NFFC even if the BBDS idea is not implemented.

I would support your idea and believe that it does address the issue but I do not think the masses are quite ready for it.

I also believe that you can win from any spot if you get lucky, have no injuries and guess correctly as to who will and will not perform in that season. It is just that simple.

I would think that someone of your skill level would be able to overcome a "lessor" draft slot each year?

i don't want anyone having an advantage over me based on draft slot allocation. if they want the top pick, they got to pay for it.

It's very possible.

The industry was ready for a wcoff. Not 100% sure it's ready for something this advanced on a grand scale.

Agree 100% Rob! I lead in points in 4 NFFC leagues and drafted from 3,3,9, and 14. A solid player can win from ANYWHERE if they get the right breaks.

YES the #3 teams have been healthy, and YES they both have LT.

A top pick makes an average owner.. good, and good owner...GREAT!

Jules is a PERFECT example! She was already a GREAT owner before this year, but give her a top 2 (give her credit for not going Alexander!) now she is OFF THE CHARTS!

I'm amazed by black holes in space, and the string theory.

...

I would think that someone of your skill level would be able to overcome a "lessor" draft slot each year? I agree on both accounts ... but why would you want to have the extra hurdle or need the extra advantage? Why does GG need to justify an even playing field when he walks into the draft?
