Week 6 Top 30

JP -- Why have you consistently referred to Gordon as "Gordan". Other than Mr. Giricek, don't know if I've ever heard of someone named "Gordan".

Gordan can't possible be over 25. Anyone who passed through puberty by the 80s would have stopped thinking that the Gordon Gekko character in Wall Street was "cool" about 15 years ago.

Gekko is older than 25 and younger than 40.

I've met him - he's not female and he's not a bad guy.

i kind of like the idea of having each team get a lottery pick DRAWN. and then, each team picks their draft position from that spot. again, there is luck involved. but it is way less random. you could get the last pick and still ends up with the #1 draft position depending on where people pick.

i just think taking away some of the randomness to where we draft from might appeal to some possible new players in this high stakes league... even though it has been proven people can win from any draft position.

You boys are amazing with this thread. Instead of reading the newspaper at night, I just grab an MGD and go straight to this thread. Keep it up.

I'll chime in a few times here as there's lots to digest. First of all, CC, you are in two Las Vegas leagues with Gordon, so you know he's not a woman. Maybe his partner is, but I'll let that one go for now! :D I think that damn John Deere shirt threw everyone off on Draft Day.

I will also go on record as stating that Dyv is not a woman, either. Short and sweet, but not a woman! :D I bumped into him once and he wasn't bumpy in all the right spots.

I want to declare the side bet by Jersey Paul and Liquid Empire null and void. You MUST go with the pink dress bet before the muzzle bet. I value everyone's opinions here on the boards and as much as I'd like to have some of you guys silenced, I think the daily banter is good for the league, good for your health and good for the rest of the group. I refuse to have one of you silenced over a weekly bet.

You can go forward with the bet if you'd like, but I'd be disappointed to not hear from one of you on these boards for the next 10 weeks, especially since you may actually have some good thoughts or ideas to present to the group.

The High Exalted Commissioner has spoken: It's now a contest for the pink dress to wear on Draft Day 2005! :D

[QUOTE]This has been a long discussion and I did not read through all the posts so this may have been covered extensively, but I will tell you that a strange rule like draft position bidding will most certainly intimidate and discourage many owners from joining. League setup, rules and scoring system are very important and should appeal to everyone, not just to the seasoned onwers or to the newbies. While I like GG's idea and it defintely has a place in fantasy football, I do not think that place is the NFFC in 2005. Nag has been around the fantasy block before and I value his opinion. I think we all agree that the goal is to continue to build the NFFC and we need to do everything possible to keep our current players for 2005 and then more than double the number of new entries next year. I believe we can get there, but I also believe that making the draft selection process more fairer has merit. So I will balance both in the future, with the goal of growing the NFFC being my primary goal.

You guys are partners with me in the NFFC because all of you agreed to the new prize structure this year after I had promised more. I want to deliver what we promise in 2005 and thus I need everyone's help in making the NFFC grow next year. Setting the right rules and draft procedures is critical in making that happen.
