Advanced League Live Draft - Sun Oct. 22 at 9:00pm EST

Re: Advanced League Live Draft

Same deal as the other league. Weekday night after 8 works best for me, or Sat the 28th.

Re: Advanced League Live Draft

I'd really like to participate, and I really can't until 9:00 pm EST (got to put the small children in bed). Any day except for Sunday the 29th works for me.

Re: Advanced League Live Draft

Anyday and time works for me except Oct 21st.

Re: Advanced League Live Draft

I will be away from my computer on 10/21, 10/27 and 10/28, but any other times are fine.

Re: Advanced League Live Draft

No, but I can see Darko going no later than round 2 or 3.

Re: Advanced League Live Draft

Hey, if someone in Novices is crazy enough to draft him there, I'm going on record right now as saying it should bear NO reflection whatsoever on our league as a whole.

You guys all know how Jay and 16 are. They would draft Darko #1 in fantasy hockey if they were able. . We are like the U.S.A. We take the sick, the delusional, and the DHOF's.

Hell.. we even take cross dressers. Linwood signed up last week.

Re: Advanced League Live Draft

If Darko is still available in the 2nd round over at Novice league, I will definitely take him. I know I can get Jay and 16 in a bidding war for his "potential" services, and walk away with 3 or 4 great players.

If he is gone, I will look for Delfino. See above.

Re: Advanced League Live Draft

I'm not saying he should go that high, but I can see it happening. OK, maybe not 2nd round, but 3rd-5th. It all depends on how fast C's go. There aren't many great ones out there and he also plays PF which puts him ahead of several guys that are only C eligible, IMO.

Wow, this is the first time I looked at the rankings. Ben is only eligible at C right now. That's surprising. There are actually several surprises on that list, as far as ranking, now that I look at it.

Hmmm....

Re: Advanced League Live Draft

In the Advanced League I would think that Darko would probably come off the board in the 4th or 5th round. Big Men that can block shots and shoot a decent % come at a premium.

Re: Advanced League Live Draft

Yeah. I think that's a reasonable gamble. He could pay huge dividends. I just wouldn't chance it earlier than that.

Honestly, I think he'll go first round in our league. I'll be shocked if he isn't gone by the second round. Why not? Those guys love him and fantasy leagues are about having fun.

Re: Advanced League Live Draft

We aren't about having fun in the advanced league. See last seasons lack of smack talk and total concentration. We are about crushing people, specially Canadians. It should be fun maybe the guys who were in novice last year and moved up can get us going verbally.

Re: Advanced League Live Draft

We all have our own definitions of fun.

For example:

Slippy defines fun as: drafting guys like Okafor in the first round and begging fellow Gm's to take him off of his hands.

Linwood defines fun as: Watching the injury list day and night wondering when a member of his squad might become available to actually play. Also dropping players and watching them become stars overnight.

Roscoe defines fun as: building a competitive squad, only to trade a stud for Ron Artest. While the trade is in Yahoo limbo, Artest loses his mind and Micro's squad starts thinking about next year.

Webz defines fun as: dominating the league all season only to have the bridesmaid steal the glory in the last week, and spending all offseason sending nasty emails to the Yahoo executives about their playoff system.

Babbs defines fun as: Drafting a team. Setting the lineup in the first week. Then watching how his original roster and original lineup fare for the remainder of the year. Not very well, thank you very much.

Pastor defines fun as: wheeling and dealing every day. This guy should sell used cars. Once the Better Business Bureau gets involved...well, I guess you would be surprised at the things that come out of a "Pastors" mouth.

Darth defines fun as: Making fun of fellow GM's and taking home the SHIP Baby. It's all about the SHIP! Darth is gonna repeat in novices next year while doing a little community service for Roscoe to make up for past transgressions. Then next year I'll show you so called experts what it's all about.

Hey Roscoe, will I get another banner?
