[/QUOTE]It's always good to discuss the merits of a new idea. If we formed two Ultimate Leagues, maybe one group of owners would be adamant about being in the draft slot bidding league, right? Maybe some would even prefer a 12-team Ultimate League over a 14-teamer. Right now we have four interested owners in a second Ultimate League, so anything is possible over these last 2+ weeks.

[/QUOTE]Wow!! I can't even get you to think about offering two different auction leagues in baseball(1000 inning min and 1/3 inning min). I think for $5000 the players decide on the bidding for the draft spots. They are ponying up the dough!!

Greg, not sure if it was mentioned...Is Meat gonna be physically present at the draft this year? You mention he will be here on NY on the 4th of Sept.

If so...maybe he can do a live acoustic set before the Sept 3rd draft...play the entire Bat Out of Hell album with just a Ovation acoustic guitar and a NFFC collectors edition pick!

Note that Meat is not planning any performances in College Place, Washington. I'm sure it's a beautiful place and all, but...

Walla...do not be so bitter! We all know you are not only the President of the Judy Garland fan club, but you have all of Cher's compilations on LP (since you never seen a CD player up in the sticks) and that you have a deep affinity for Oscar Wilde's work.

Please let Billy Waz out of your captivity...I have this burning image in my head that he is in your basement right now..and you are dressed like the Gimp from Pulp Fiction

Walla did put a smiley face at the end of his post... which if you read it as a humorous jab type post really makes you guys sound like nasty New Yorkers...

LOL - which is what he jokingly was trying to point out and you guys jumped on him for... while denying it's true.

Classic twister

D I thought my post was kinda sorta nice. I could have made some "Deliverance" jokes or some such, but I even managed to get a compliment in.

So I were to take Michigan's ridiculous tourism slogan ("Say Yes! to Michigan") and change it something like "Say F**K OFF! to all the Michigan Scumbags" and put a smiley face on the end, would that be okay?
