3INT -

The team next to me (Incredible Hulking Us) actually drafted a great team and were stricken with the injury bug. Plus those 2 guys were really nice....they helped me read the players off the draft board since I suffer from Myopia (medical term for near-sighted) and I refuse to wear glasses!

I think the next thread should be about Lamont Jordan !!! He is gonna catch LT2 in Fantasy points !!! woooo hooo

BTW- we are from the Gordon Gekko 2004 school of drafting! LOL (ie: Grab a pass catching RB as your 2nd pick like Lamont, grab W. Dunn as your 4th round pick and 3rd RB, grab a serviceable QB later on in draft Brees , and lastly....grab Steve Smith and pray he stay healthy !)

Thanx Gordy...hehee

P.S. Our Muhsin Muhammed is Plaxico

Thanks for providing a venue where we can excorcise our freedom of speech rights, although you must've done something really wrong to be stuck in the middle of so many egos and so much testoserone!

In the end this will help refine the best game in the industry.

Seriously, this is a good group of independant thinkers who will be around when this thing is running by itself. You may have to view it from a "special home" as you twirl your thumbs and stare blankly out the window though.

OK I'm done here - unless someone pisses me off of course. Dealing with you guys has reinvigorated me, not aged me. Trust me, I think we've all dealt with issues as commissioners of our local leagues that were tough and some owners didn't like the way we had to make a rule. But you listen to their thoughts, weigh everything before making a decision and then do what's right for the league. Reading the posts here is MUCH easier than taking 11 phone calls from league owners like I used to do with my local league before I started this.

I honestly think we have a solid Message Board and I don't agree with Nag when he says this is so different from other fantasy football Message Boards. In fact, the other contest had a much more contentious Message Board 2-3 years ago. I assume that he's saying the common link is GG, but so be it. He's ours now and we're happy to be stuck with him!

The banter can be a little too lively at times, but honestly I think it's great and the egos on these boards are manageable. Nobody has crossed over the line yet.

Once I get that Batman hotline, then I think you guys will drive me over the edge. But for now, I'll happily read the forums just like you do, Jeff.

They were very nice guys. I have to crack on them a bit because they got so fired up about the compliment to their team.

Saw them in Vegas as well.

Part of the reason for wanting even 7 points is I have lost Walker(now Ferguson). And it hurts my point total. Tough guy to replace, and the Hulks team is reachable at this point. But I need them all.

GL the rest of the way.

Thanks, 3INTBOY, because for all of the hassle you're getting now, you will be getting the props for improving the game later, that is, if STATS can get it done that way. I think the only rap you got from me on this issue was on the timing. I'm still not happy with it because if STATS blows up the game this week playing with the software, Greg's going to have a bigger problem.

It's not a good idea to make software changes like this when the game is live. Especially this one, where there are many variables with the flex position. This is not as simple as adding a field for names and draft slot info.

I believe blind bidding would have prevented this problem.

Lou,

That is a tough break. I had no idea about the flex lock myself so I see where you are coming from.

You got a solid team and will be in this thing to the end. You have dealt with the injuries very well and I know that can be frustrating when you lose points ie yesterday.

Hulk and Fisher are damn good. Both teams are deep as hell for a 14 team squad. I tip my hat to both for a great draft and good work on the wire.

They are both reachable Lou. Lets make a run at them. I know I will be next week when I take on Fisher...and Im trying to tonight is Justin Griffith can create a miracle. (Hulk I don't think I'd be too worried about me getting 12.8 from that guy.)

Just my two cents. Man I sound like a Hallmark Card!

"Snake": Hi big boy, Snake thinks that you are handsome."

Gay Bar Patron named Bruce: "Hi Snake...tell me your lineup....I love a guy who is open to BBDS."

"Snake": Snake says hi. Snake would love to do a BBDS on you."

Bruce: Snake, tell me more about BBDS

"Snake": Snake is looking to do a serpentine draft around your member using a random system

Bruce: Ohhhh gahhhh
