We do not. What day/times work best for everyone. To me I prefer weekday nights after 830. What are you guys thinking?

I can't see it as Vesey salary won't be substantial so it shouldn't be based on cap implications. No idea though. I was surprised when he wasn't signed before July 1st. Especially considering the comparables. But whatever. Then July ends, now we're nearing the middle of August. The strange thing is there are so many comparables out there that are all similar numbers so I would love to know which side is looking for either longer or shorter term deal.

August 9th now.....what are we around 6 weeks from training camp?

:blink: Man, I'm a pretty big time optimist but that's even too far out there for me.

Politically I don't think I should be laughing but that was really funny.

They seem interesting but think we will just stick to the tried and true live draft....I'm not even sure how an online auction would work.

Just a thought here, and it's outside the box, so if nobody likes it then no problem. What if (starting next years draft) the team that wins the championship gets to choose which position they want to start in the draft the next year? The runner up would get second choice etc., all the way down to the team that comes in last getting whichever of the 12 spots in the draft is left? It would be the reverse tanking type of thing that hockey has. This may encourage people to still make lineup changes etc. late in the season even if they're out of the playoffs. It's not a huge incentive as it would still be a snake draft format but would probably give the slightest of advantages. Thoughts?

I'm torn on the keeper. I actually probably wouldn't mind it but there were a couple people who were dead set against it during the discussion last offseason.

That doesn't sound good. Wonder what the reasoning is. Hopefully nothing injury related.

League rules have now been changed to 6 point TD for QB. We can vote on having a one player keeper league. I vote no on that. This!

4 points per TD pass.

That's fair but my point still holds true that I have an easier ability to identifying mid round QB then identifying midround RB :P As I said, I'll go with majority. Our league will have some pretty high scoring games being PPR and if we move to 6 point QB TD's.

See I'm the opposite. I've drafted QB early once or twice and am always disappointed. I feel like I'm ALWAYS scrambling for RB's when I do that. If I go get my stud RB and WR in first couple of rounds (usually 2 high end RB if I can) then I feel confident. I agree with you that it is somewhat difficult to gauge the 8th best running back. But it's way harder to gauge the 14th best running back which is likely who you will be selecting as your RB2. There are always QB's late that are serviceable for you in a 4TD QB league IMO. I do usually play in 10 team leagues so in a 12 team you are looking at lower end starters if you wait until the very end to pick them. But in my 10 team last year I got Brady late in one league. I just find I can evaluate QB that can work for me easier then evaluating late round running backs and constantly scouring the waiver wire for them. Just a different philosophy which makes this game fun.

Fair enough. Not to give away my secrets but I thought I always could gain a competitive advantage by waiting to draft a QB. I would borderline laugh at anyone taking Rogers in the first round etc. as it was wayyy too early for a QB. Now these ppl will be rewarded.....

Wow, I'm surprised I'm in the minority but I'm not going to be a Putin about this. 3 more votes and the change will be made.

Ok that's fair. Vote starts now. Everyone gets one vote and we will go with the majority. Tie will go with what was run last year (4 point QB TD). I'll start the vote with no to the change.

Sorry to hear. Appreciate the heads up though. Neo, your first on the wait list, I presume you still want in? I'll PM you the details.

Ya I think we may stick to the same rules as last time based on what I'm seeing. Just waiting on Qwk.

Awesome. Just waiting to hear back on Whisky Bottle, Qwk and JJFiveOh.

I'd have to vote no to 2 qb, 6 td or defensive players. But I don't want to be authoritative so if a great majority want any then I can make the change. But I suspect we will get most of the same people joining as last year and it was voted down last offseason. Full of excuses today aren't you TBG :nana:

I'll have to add you to the wait list.

HAHHAHAHAHA. Nope, it's Sabrespace FF League's Official position. This is much better then the NHL lottery, we eliminate tanking completely! Welcome aboard guys. Once August hits, we can begin looking up days for late August/early September that work for the draft.

Welcome back everyone!! Yes I know it's only July 18th and the NFL season doesn't start for another 52 days........ However, just want to throw out there that I will be running the 3rd Annual Sabrespace Fantasy Football League again this year. 15' Winner - JuJu Fish 14' Winner - TrueBlue If you were in the league last year you are automatically in again this season if you want to continue. Please confirm with me if you want in again over the next couple of weeks. Extended from last year Neo and Deluca are the first two on the wait list if anyone wants to drop out. I want everyone to stay but please only join again if you are willing to run your team all season and not just draft and forget about it. The great thing about this league is how difficult it is due to how active and competitive everyone is. Also, I feel like the rule change to PPR last year went well. However, I'm open to suggested changes if anyone wants to throw anything out there. If I remember correctly, 6 point TD, 2 QB and Keeper were all voted down last year. Anyways, just wanted to Welcome everyone back and hope for another fun season full of bragging rights. I have to do better then the past two years don't I?!

Camping this weekend then a big BBQ for my son's first birthday sunday evening. Going to be good times.

Anyone else getting a touch concerned with the delay? This is our franchise defenseman. What could possibly be the hold up? There are several comparable guys whom have already signed long term deals. Is he waiting on Lindholm?
