Wanyne, please thank Bob for me for stepping in at the last minute. Thanks to you too for giving him up. Also, again thanks to Marc for facilitating. Everything went pretty smooth once we got going.

I've been off of work for a few weeks, so it was no big deal...The main thing in my intentions were to keep the auctions alive. There is no event more fun, in my opinion. If fantasyauctioneer.com put some effort into making their software a little user friendly, this aspect of fantasy games would go through the roof...

I love this DC auction format. It's great having every player available and then not having to manage the team throughout the year. Thanks again Marc for running the auction! You did great!

Wayne nice job Wayne, that's a good looking team

It honestly looks like you've got to make a decision. Do you want a monster WR core, or RB depth...Any QB over $20 is going to put you in a bit of a hole too.

Wayne, it did seem like you handled your money well. You have a well balanced team, and I remember you having around $100 when everyone else had $40 or so...Good job. Sometimes you miss all of the talent that way, but your patience paid off.

I was sick seeing the QB's go for peanuts after the top 3.

Wayne has a terrific DC team. Nice job fellow Colts fan!

Yea, me too Russ....I think it was Brady/Manning/Romo/Brees that went for big bucks.

Wayne has a terrific DC team. Nice job fellow Colts fan! Thanks guys - I honestly felt as good about this auction as any league I've ever done. It was a little tough in the Bob and I had the same thoughts going into the draft and we weren't sure it would work with 2 teams trying the same approach but it went okay. I had the numbers next to me as to what the top WR (and every other position) went for last year all the way down to where they started going for $2 apiece. The money was coming out much faster than last year so there had to be bargains later in the draft. I would have been right in there bidding also had the prices not been so high early on.

I couldn't believe how much the defenses were going for. Even the kickers brought a lot of $$$ last night.
