EDIT: Never mind. Looks like we have enough for 12 with Pokerface and Aronis joining!

[Bert]

oh gods what is happening

[Bert]

It's looking like Monday the 25th @8 EST will be the best time for the most people. Other options are 3 EST on the 23rd or 24th, or 8 EST the 28th.

The current time listed in the league (3) is "Draft Time: Sun Aug 24 8:15pm CDT [ Add to My Calendar ]." Is that the tentative time?

That's perfect for me. The ones I can't make are the ones at 8 PM EST...the 3 EST ones are great too.

[Bert]

All of your RB are belong to me..

I do have to love that Locke Lamora somehow ended up with four QBs

Hi guys, I kinda set up my pre-draft rankings on Yahoo for my two drafts outside auction this morning... I'm going to be an autopicker, except with set pre-draft rankings...

Any tips on what to do to avoid not filling in all my positions and not drafting too many QB's? I'm thinking maybe I should remove all my QB's from the list outside the top few such as Rodgers/Manning/Brees, then Brady/Cam, etc.

not sure, never done this before. Worst nightmare is seeing 6 QB's on my roster or something whack. Or all WR's.

[Bert]

LAMORA!!! I am willing to attend any metaphorical party/wedding of yours!

[Bert]

there is no rivalry to speak of hehe

since your team's facing Wk 1's lowest scorer and is gon give my team an old fashioned whuppin'!

I would put the team owners in parentheses next to the team names, but I don't know which team belongs to which.

EDIT: Just put the ones I know, if someone could quote and fill them in, that would be swell!

EDIT2: Done!

[Bert]

Yay, thanks!

[Bert]

Yeah getting burned twice by Charles hurt, as said before im almost 70 points below projected so far

Had Donnell though so this week may be first time I come anywhere near potential.

Hi I'm a fellow Charles owner and am in the same predicament - lowest scorer, bottom of standings.

I hope you win this week! We'll both be starting Charles and hoping he plays/stays in the game.

I don't have a Donnell, but I finally remembered to sit Torrey Smith this week.

What the BertBert1-323-30[/table]

I mean, I guess it's not a surprise that League 3 is more spread out, but yikes. What the Bert, Bert?

I'm working on making some moves now that Week 5 is approaching! I'll get on the board eventually (I hope.)

[Bert]

I would tune in to hear Locke's analysis everyweek.

[Bert]

Hi L3 peoples! This is your resident 3-7 team letting you know that I will welcome trade offers before the 11/14 trade deadline (just noticed it's tomorrow - guessing the end of tomorrow)!

Not sure which players in my lineup anyone might remotely be interested in acquiring: <Brady/Jeffery/Martavis Bryant/Wayne/J. Charles/Morris/Torrey/Dwayne Allen>. Oh wait, there's more! Mark Sanchez (half-joking).

[Bert]

I saw both too in baseball this year.

L3 resets weekly to inverse order of standings. I've put in 1 or 2 waiver claims every week so far, and because I'm 4-7 most of the claims have been processed.

[Bert]

I would tune in to hear Locke's analysis everyweek.

[Bert]

I think if you want to have head-to-head matchups that actually mean something, you have to accept that there are going to be luck-based fluctuations in results that don't always reflect the overall quality of teams in terms of scoring at the end of the season. I expect if we went all the way to the other end of the extreme and just did an EPE league then most people would not like it as much (but perhaps some would prefer that). Somewhere along that spectrum are approaches like the EPE wildcard, which can balance out bad luck effectively but still only for one person, and once you introduce the mechanism you have to ask why you're only taking it so far. I see it like a lot of games or competitions that involves an element of luck, like a dice roll or cards: the better players will have better results over a long period of time, but within any individual season there's the potential for much bigger fluctuations.

Agree!!

[Bert]

How are those in all the league playoffs faring so far?

[Bert]

L3 Playoffs Update!

reinoe (4) is down 76.50-101.50 vs. Wraith (1). Reinoe has Cutler remaining and needs him to score more than 25 points, as Wraith's players have all played.

Flameaxe (2) is up 94.58-57.90 vs. gamsimbre (3). Flameaxe's team is done playing, so gamsimbre is down 36.68 points with Kenny Stills remaining for Monday.

[Bert]

Well this isn't good.

Cutler has only scored 25+ three times so far, though!

[Bert]

The weather forecast for tonight does not look good
