Free Agent Bidding Is Available

Okay, guys, a quick update. All FAAB moves should be processed in the next 10-15 minutes, so look for the winning bids here. I'm not sure if we'll be showing the runner-up bids or not, but let me know what you'd like to see and we'll hook up with STATS on that and get it right.

Yes, we apologize for having the FAAB deadline extended past what we had said. STATS admits that internally their clock was set 10 minutes after we had requested. Going forward you can trust that it will be EXACTLY at 4 p.m. EST each Friday. All moves made before FAAB was locked today are being accounted for.

Sorry for the confusion, but it's time for the winning bids to be announced. Good luck everyone.

Thanks.

I agree with Gordon 100%. If I were [certain unnamed message board poster], I'd agree 110%.

What you'll see today is the winning bids for each league and it will be part of Transaction History, I believe. I did not request to have STATS display every bid on every player in every league until now, but they say that is something they can provide us going forward. It probably won't happen today and I apologize, but I think in the next week or so we'll have the capability and you guys will be able to do your homework by watching other leagues and all of the bids.

Sorry for the delay, but it's my fault for not requesting that earlier. But I trust STATS will get that done soon enough.

Guy at #4 took Alexander so I had to take Deuce. Then I took Henry,Kevin Jones,Gonzalez, etc. Lost week 1

You do realize that my team in the invitational was picked 100% by the computer right? My internet died in my hotel room and i wasn't going to spend .69/minute to draft from the business center. Anybody that loses to that putrid team should hang their head in shame...

Greg, I'm all for seeing the other bids when the results are posted, but.......................

the rules say....
"No team will be informed of any other team's free agent bids."
