Ironically, I agree entirely with you guys in that my last post isn't as good as just letting people bid from their initial 1000 dollar allotment. I only recommended it in response to Greg Ambrosius being afraid of the "crazy owners" who'd bid like crazy on draft slots. Hey, I agree, let those crazy people do their bidding. -z- AFRAID? Diesel, set up that cage match and put me in with Z-Men. I've met him and I know I can body slam him in less than a minute!

G-Man isn't afraid of anything Z-Men (what are there more than one of you?), so bring it on!

Yeah, there's crazy bidders everywhere. Imagine the off-season message board banter about how much No. 1 is going to go for. That could create a life of its own. Maybe the newbies we're forgetting about are the hundreds of players who already are in high-stakes leagues who want more say in their draft spot. Who's to say they wouldn't be the newbies?

I'm not in favor of anything, other than the cage match with Z-Men! Carry on with the discussion.

I've long wondered about the Z-Men/plural thing myself. What the dealio?

I have no problem talking with a few stewards in my Union about getting some space in the Javitz Convention Center for this event. It may take some favors, but I think I can make it work. Do you guys want the steel cage match or do you want to go UFC style?

P.S...The Z-"Men" topic would be interesting to find out about, but what I really want to know is, What the hell is --K 3 A B L-- ?

My bad Greg "the body slammer" Ambrosius. I should have said "shy away" not afraid. Now I must do what I can to prevent you from body slamming me. Now I'm the one who's afraid!!! -z-
