JG, I hear Tom Brady has a broken arm and will never play again.

Wait, no, that was just a dream.

In other news, since quitting my job. I won't be working during the draft!

12 Team Custom League. 2 QB starters, 3 WR, 3 RB, 1 TE, 1 TE/WR, 3 WR/RB starters. Scoring is a bit different, points per reception, passing attempt (BS!) and whatnot.

I have Chris Perry (because it's a deep fucking league and I kept up with the training camp news) and I have been offered a trade.

Chris Perry for Santana Moss.

This is only a good trade if Perry is a bust and/or gets injured and Moss stays healthy. Perry could end up scoring twice what Moss does if he stays healthy and scores some TD's and catches a lot of passes. My problem is Perry has never finished a full season AND has only scored 2 touchdowns in his career. So that vs Rudi Johnson's '05 and '06 productivity.

Thoughts?

Just as a last check - draft is Monday @ 5 PM EST, correct?

No, It's actually 6PM EST.

ehhh.... isn't it 6 PM EST?

^ This.

IS THERE AN ECHO IN HERE!?!

You must have made a quick edit. Or my eyes are playing tricks on me. I'm pretty sure I saw 7 PM. Oh well.

Don't say echo, it's bad form.

And yes, it said 7...but I thought Longneck was just trying to trick me so I'd autodraft a shitty team with 5 QB's and 4 defenses.

Longneck, don't worry, my team is shitty with a live draft. You don't have to try and fool me.

I need every edge I can get! I finished 13th! last year. Did well with Addai and Harrison in the lineup until Harrison got injured and Addai's performance went downhill. Started off 4-2 and finished with 7 straight losses! I've never seen a team tank so horribly.

Do we really have to wait until 5:30 to find out the draft order?

I just want to make sure I show up on time.

Wait...the stupid email Yahoo sent me said it starts @ 6 PM EDT, but I'm EST. EDT is -4 GMT, EST is -5, so I'm guessing I need to show up at 5 EST, right?

6pm ET, how's that?

Just look at the league's home page:

The leagues home page gives me the time in PDT...:(

I'm sure you can figure it out.

Chris Perry (Cin - RB)
Michael Bush (Oak - RB)
for
Santana Moss (Was - WR)
Dominic Rhodes (Ind - RB)

Rhodes should get me 600-700 points, Moss about 1000 in this crazy league. Perry might be goof for 1700 on his own, but he might get injured like he has every single season thus far as well.

I should probably start doing a little research.

Your confidence is overwhelming...

This isn't good... I clicked on "test system" for the hell of it since I never had a problem before -- and it's not letting me connect to the server!

Whew... second time it worked.

About 30 minutes, guys!

DRAFT ORDER: DB, DMC, FC, GO, LN, JG, KL, DJ, BB, TU, DD, JL, BL, YO

(Damn, this could take hours!)

Yeah, I clicked on "Live Draft Already In Progress" only to learn we still have 20 minutes left...

Well, it's not 6pm yet, is it?

I'm always near the end in draft orders. I've never been at the top.

I guess I better head over there and stop fucking around. I'm going in with zero prep this year.

Where you are in the draft order, you have PLENTY of time!

Me too. Which one of us is going to get laughed at when we draft an out-for-the-season player?

1 hr 39 mins... thought it'd be worse...

Does anybody have any early honest opinions on which teams look good to begin the season?
