2006 NFFC_Improvements

wow! post has only been up a day, and already 1 person will NOT join the NFFC because of how the first place league money is awarded. Another owner is really debating whether to join simply because of this. It sounds like he'd be "all-in" if there was a league champ game or series.

i haven't seen anyone say they'd get out of the NFFC if there was a league champ game or series.

interesting. how quickly things change mr.lumpy? trust in gekko.

That being said, unless I had the #1 pick this year (where I could take LT), I would PREFER a late round pick because at least I know I can nab 2 quality RB's, whereas the people drafting 1st-4th for example really can't say the same thing. that's EXACTLY why blind bidding on draft slots is a good thing. you can put in a high bid for #1 draft slot. if you don't get it, you would get whatever is left (presumably a low-end draft slot). this should make you very happy. you get the draft slot you want, and you still have ALL of your FA dollars left. thanks for proving my point.

It's amazing how at times you make so much sense, and then in the very next paragraph you show everyone that some of your thoughts come straight out of your behind. thanks.

And since you have a team of researchers working for you, find out how many people in the NFFC top 10 overall had a top 3 pick. Since no one in the top 10 overall had Holmes, I doubt anyone in the top 10 had a top 3 pick. thanks.

Thank you for making me smile. I needed a chuckle. When you mentioned embarrassment, I thought of you sitting in a Barnes and Nobles at your book signing waiting for somebody to come buy your book, and of course, nobody coming. Hey, at least if you get a book printed, they will be a great gift for the holidays.

If 1 out of the top ten overall in the NFFC 2004 had a top 3 pick, it only proves that the draft pick number is no where near as important as the pick itself. You're swinging in the air right now Mr. Gekko, and I'm sorry to say, not landing anything.
