I don't think anyone in the NFL wants him

 

[Macland]

The Seattle Seahawks took him for a year.

They're pretty desperate. While his stats were impressive over the course of his career, his short arena record doesn't show much.

 

[Macland]

Yeah, I'm not drafting him lol.

NFL and Arena are two completely different games. I followed (broadcasted) the Desperados from 2003-2006 and saw player try both leagues and do really well in one, but fail completely in the other.

You have a point, but with the lack of any impressive figures with his last year or two in the NFL, its hard to say what he'll be like. He could be like Randy Moss or end up like Plexxico Burres.

 

[NMTerras]

T.O. couldn't have tried any less hard playing for his indoor team. I saw one game, he half-assed it. He also got head-shotted over the boards, which I enjoyed thoroughly...

 

[drbandkgb]

Who do I pay...

 

[NMTerras]

me, eventually. Mac, for now...

Ok, let's get a draft order down before crunch time. If there are no objections to the random number generated order we can get that facilitated tonight and get an order put together.

 

[NMTerras]

Alright, I'm going to do this double-blind, where I get info from two different people and put it together for the actual order. I can't tell you what I will be asking, as it could affect the info I am given. I will explain what I did after I get the info. I will do it through PMs, and will be copying other league members on the PMs so they see what is going on. We are in no hurry, many leagues establish their order at the draft. We will have ours done in the next week or so.

 

[Macland]

Awesome. I want an idea of if I'm going to be at the beginning or end so I'll know if I want to have a bunch of people I want to take in "pairs"

 

[NMTerras]

Mac's like a kid in a candy store right now...

 

[Macland]

You know it. I jacked a full page article out of the news paper dedicated to fantasy football just so I could use it as a cheat sheet at the draft.

 

[TheFauxFox]

This is one of the few times of the year I like having DirectTV with NFL Network.

 

[Macland]

I'm bummed because I'll likely be limited to what comes on the networks.

 

[drbandkgb]

The draft should have a list too right?

 

[Macland]

The draft should have a list too right?

Yeah, there should be a full list that you can separate by position and ranking, but to me it's a bunch of names for the most part. This article puts some words to the stats.

 

[Macland]

Ok I've got money from three people and only idratherbe sent his correctly. Brandon and Cameron incurred fees of 59 cents each. I don't think it's a major problem but everybody else make sure and send your money as a personal gift, correct me if I'm wrong. Let's try and have everyone paid up by the end of the month so were not scrambling in September.

oh crap sorry man I didn't realize

No big. I'm sure whoever wins isn't going to complain about being every so slightly shorted.

 

[Roadwarrior]

Haha, awesome. My write checks the mail and I'll probably forget to explain it to her, she'll be confused for a minute.

 

[NMTerras]

I'll pay you when I'm good and ready!
jk. sorta.

Or for services rendered! :dirty:

 

[Macland]

Soooo Jason Witten being hurt kinda sucks :rawr:

 

[Muadeeb]

Meant to warn y'all about that yesterday...

 

[idratherbe]

ESPN Fantasy draft picks is on right now

 

[Macland]

Little bit of Bengals/Falcons action going on tonight.

You know Dave's loving it.

 

[Macland]

They've got a decent rookie qb.

 

[NMTerras]

Any injuries to Cowboys or Broncos will have zero effect on my draft strategy. Except for Peyton Manning, i plan on drafting him before Cameron can.

 

[NMTerras]

Muadeeb - would you mind helping us with the draft order? Please post in this thread the numbers 1 through 10 in random order. However you want to generate the order is up to you, but preferably randomly. I have enlisted the aid of another league member to verify ahead of time how I plan to apply those numbers. Ready? GO!

 

[Muadeeb]

6
10
7
1
8
4
3
9
2
5

 

[NMTerras]

OK - so we have a draft order, and it is:
1. The Boston Teabaggers
2. Jim Beamers
3. Homeskick Bronco
4. Huskies
5. Mac Kings
6. Wonderbolts
7. EZ Brees-y Beautiful
8. Xterrible
9. Bengal Dave
10. Multiple Scoregasms.

How did we arrive at this, you ask? As I PM'd Mac, I asked Muadeeb for random numbers, and applied them top to bottom to the teams listed on our league website:

Wonderbolts
Multiple Scoregasms
EZ Brees-y Beautiful
The Boston Teabagger
Xterrible
Huskies
Homesick Bronco
Bengal Dave
Jim Beamers
Mac Kings


And there we go! Looks like I can't keep Manning out of Cameron's clutches. Damn.

Anyway, I will re-configure the divisions to odds and evens (draft order)

Also, I'm not sure of which XNrs belong to which team names - I know who Dave, Mac, Idratherbe, Cameron belong to, but unsure of others? If you like, post up with your team name so we know to whom smack should be directed!

Oh, and thanks a lot, Muadeeb. 8th pick. tpppppphhh!
Remember folks, draft is online, through the league website, Tuesday evening Sept. 4.
Huck it! Chuck it! Football!
