As the person in the room with our "Gamers," I am well aware of their complaints, but I can tell you that the draft room is doing what the draft room is supposed to be doing. I stopped reading here. Geoff your saying it's the Players fault?

Thanks,

John

TK, are you serious? If someone had mentioned me in a post, but DID NOT use my name, and then you came on and used my name, I would be pretty unhappy. I do not think that is fair.

Greg's phone call did a world of good and that is all erased by your post.

I can't speak for Glenn as to a conversation you and he may or may not have had. And at no time was your name mentioned.

The sentence I posted above is pretty clear. It didn't say someone was asked to post something they didn't believe.

So, now we all know you talked to Glenn (we did not know that last night)...nice. Good work here, Jules. I'm fuming.

Greg and Tom, I need at least a day to sort through things. Please don't contact me.

For the record, I have no problem with going back only 10 picks. 14 is ideal, but not a biggie IMO. True. I think most sites do list the previous picks in the Chat and we do have a button where you can just show the Chat if you want. So it's fine either way Billy. 10 or 14 is better than what we have now: NONE.

the problems were all evident within the first 5 minutes as Popcorn stated. I was given player I did not draft in the second round and later was auto-picked when i was NOT on auto. I don't need to go in again.

A Draft grid-great!

Find out why the wrong players are being selected-great!

Use the space above where the team names are for something useful-Great!

I'd be happy

[/QUOTE]I apologize Glenn, I was frustrated and shouldn't have brought it up.

However, I don't think it warranted Tom throwing your name or his reaction.

[/QUOTE]Got it. Let's stop with the infighting. Nobody asked anyone to not say anything bad about us; we asked everyone to stay positive until they saw the functionality of the draft room and then to let the site speak for itself. We would never ask folks NOT to speak the truth.

Glenn knows technology as well as anyone in the industry. He's a techno-geek. We value his opinions. And the best part is that he's ALWAYS honest. So speak your mind and if we failed last night say so.

I'm calling the Gamers, but Glenn you call me. I won't bother you on this subject. We're working to get this right and that's the main focus. Nobody is pointing fingers; you guys are just being totally honest, which is what we need.

Now, back to that ad....
