I guess I overspent on Fitz ($45) that first week!

AJ - $40, Calvin - $37, $White - $34

I thought my bid of 8 on Bush was safe and didn't get a chance to come back and check until now.

I think he ends up somewhere else and is a steal for $9.

I'm not no were close to you guys when it comes to Auction. But I thought based on this group
Bush=12 or more.
Rodgers=33 or more
Manning=33 or more
White=about right
Johnson=about right

I think in person that would of happen. Cavalier King Charles has to be a good poker player. Those three bids made some scratching there heads and others bidding more than they wanted too.

Again this League is Great and I need to learn how to play.

Sorry for throwing in my thoughts,

John

I like the commentary.

WRsand QBs are garnishing lots of love and cash early on.

Some of the bids are making me feel better about spending 35 for Brady and 55 for AP.

I should have gone ten for Bush. I was prepared to and just let him go. I am trying to learn patience.

Marshall scares me now because he will miss some time. How much will determine if the 29 was too high. If he misses four games the 29 will pay off. If he misses more time, then it is a sliding margin.

That is what is fun about doing this league. It is kind of like trying to predict the derby winner right now.

Does Bush get moved to a team with a need and there are several of them? I would love to see him go to the Cardinals. He could make them a Dynasty for a few years. Hightower is not going to cut it.

Roddy White really impressed me last year and was the one I should have bid on from this group.

Who is going to try and outbid me for the Browns D?

That was a close one last night. When I put a bid on AJ, Calvin, Roddy and SJax, I wasnt thinking that I could get stuck with all of them. I wasn't sure if I would be able to log on at the deadline, so wanted to give myself a shot to get one, maybe two of them. Turned out ok, but I was sweating it when there was silence on bids until right near the deadline.
