We can reset keepers after July 1st for a week...

then there usually is a 2 week period to swing some more deals...

rosters must be set by July 31...supplementals and free players are released then...followed by the supplemental draft (this year will be a big one)

Then we have our rookie draft (no date set yet)

The real draft is the Sunday before week 1...

I've got all the rules and shit...and I'll e-mail those...or post them here...

[ALinChainz]

I may have to do simultanous drafts.

he he he ... football needs to get here ...

[POJO_Risin]

LMFAO AL...This draft is for a league that I've been in for years now with buds from home...not the league here at the site...

[ALinChainz]

LOL

Either way man, I walk around ready to draft ...

Minutes notice, boom.

[POJO_Risin]

That's good to know...

I don't suppose you'd have interest in a pay league...would you?...

[ALinChainz]

Just disolved my pay league, 12 years. Got some choices and am doing numerous teams on the net, including the kickoff of our site's dynasty leagues, so I think I will be all set.

Thanks for the invite though.

I figure if you play enough teams, everytime there is a "game break" during the one you're watching, it has to be someone doing something for you somewhere.

Did that make sense?

[POJO_Risin]

How many dynasty leagues do you have going over there...I may be interested if you have an opening...

[POJO_Risin]

Our keeper league is having issues this year as of right now...

it's been a group of my friends for the past 7 years...and we've had a trickle down drop out...12 team league...and we're sitting at 6 teams right now...

not sure what in the hell we're going to do..

[ALinChainz]

Two 12 team leagues. I'll look into it, there maybe one.

Sucks when the pay league at home fizzles. Been playing with the same core of guys for years, but it seems to get uglier each year with the bitchin' and fighting over how many keepers, rules, etc. Figured better to keep my friends than avoiding them.

I turn the ringer off at my house right at 1:00 game time anyway but these guys were getting to be a fucking pain.

[POJO_Risin]

This league was flat out fantastic from the start...12 teams the entire time...and over the 7 years it's been official...meaning a pay league...there have only been 18 owners in the league (one being my brother in law covering for me last year). All were either hometown boys...or frat brothers from college...and it was a completely amicable from the start...

As we enter the marriage and baby game...people got talking and dropped out because of all the time it takes...I should probably follow their lead...but WTF...this is part of my relax time...I Love this shit...

Whatever...let me know about the dynasty league...if you have a spot...cool...let me know...

[ALinChainz]

I will. My brother says it's probably a near certainty to have at least one opening due to all the time between the end and start of the season, 2 - 12 team leagues so bound to be a spot.

[POJO_Risin]

Cool...like I said...just let me know...

[POJO_Risin]

We're up to 7 teams right now Troy...

if we get to 10...we're good to go...

less...we're going to disband...

If it's only 10...we're going to cut the fee a bit as well...

Where the fuck are you...

[Troy]

I'm right here.

[POJO_Risin]

LMFAO...

well...that's the deal...we set a date for August 1st...talked to my buddy Matt (new commish) on the phone yesterday afternoon...I got a good friend into the league on Monday...

up to 7...

a couple of the dropouts may be dropping back in...

[POJO_Risin]

Troy...if our league disbands...I saw we shop our wares for a keeper at ESPN or Sportsline (Full Blitz)...I think Teams are like $250 or so...

something to think about...

[POJO_Risin]

We'll open up a Yahoo account we can both access...to open the team up...so we both can maneuvre...

[Troy]

The money's already been spent so I'm open to other options if this one doesn't work out. I hope it does though...

[POJO_Risin]

Like I said...I still have your checks...haven't put them anywhere 'cept my desk...

[Troy]

What... you didn't use them to buy a new deluxe potty trainer?

[POJO_Risin]

LMFAO...yeah...one that's built into the couch...so I don't have to leave the room while watching TV...

no bro...not going to deposit them until I know what the deal is with our league...or if we choose to go another route...
