Mr. Bob Squad,

Spoken like a true member of the "Let's drive up the prices of defenses since I already have mine club." Based on the money left in this auction I don't believe we will be seing defenses going at $5 plus the rest of the.

Wayne Well, if that is true then I should have let you take Minnesota for $8. I have no "feel" for the prices in this type of auction and especially at this early part of the year.

Rob - have 3 defenses from the same division won't hurt you. The NFL hasn't had teams bye from the same division for several years now.

Wayne Dear "I don't have a defense yet Club" Member,

I don't want to drive the prices up. I just want to make sure that they don't go for $2 or $3 after a couple of teams paid $20 for three.

I may end up with 5 D's but I'll have a blast watching you pay $7 for Detroit because you weren't willing to pay $5 earlier.

Bob...with a max bid as low as yours and no Wr's or TE maybe you'd be better suited trying to fill in your own team rather than following your DST fetish.

That of course is assuming you hope to compete. :eek:

I lied. I want every D to go for $10. That being said, I won't bid over $4. So I won't be driving anything up.

I have my entire team budgeted and I know two things about it.
(1) You will hate my team
(2) There will be a bet between us

[/QUOTE]Round 1 - Route C picks Zach Miller to outscore Jeremy Shockey in '08 - Bob Squad loses

Round 2 - Double or nothing - Total points in this league. You in?

BTW, I don't appreciate you speaking publicly about the size of my max bid.
