  1. I noticed this last year as well: ESPNs player rankings, and projected points do not line up. For example, Kirk Cousins projected points for the season are higher than 7 other QBs ranked above him. There are many other examples of this in their rankings. What am I missing?
  2. We've been doing a live auction for 15 years. Of all my leagues, the auction is by far the most fun and "prestigious". We rent the conference room at nearby hotel, bring wings, beer, and snacks. It takes us about 4 hours to complete. The process gets slower and the trash talk grows wilder as the beer coolers get lighter. My sister is the sales manager at the hotel, so the room is practically free. They provide tables and chairs which we arrange in a square circle. They also and provide paper plates, utensils, etc. There is a huge TV that we can hook a laptop to. The conference room has a small kitchenette which is awesome. Its very simple. Here is the explanation from our commish: We have a $100 cap (cost to you is $20). We also have a $20 free agent limit Basically the auction starts by someone throwing out a player and a price (“Tony Romo, $1”) we then go around the room and you have 2 choices 1) raise the bid by a minimum of $1 to whatever you want in $1 increments or 2) Pass. Once you pass on a player you are out and cannot bid on that player again. This continues until there is only one bidder left and he gets the player. Then the process repeats until we’re done. You must have enough $ left to bid on enough players for your team. We have software that will display your max bid. Once the season starts you can bid on free agents online using ESPN with a minimum $1 bid. Bidding on ESPN is set up at $100 so you need to multiply by 4 (free agent #1, $6 is $1.50 in real money). We play 14 weeks and the top 4 teams make the playoffs. Playoffs games are 2 weeks total combined. Auction League Fees: $33 per team = $330 total $18 goes to each playoff spot ($18 x 4 = $72) $10/week goes to the high scorer ($10 x 12 weeks = $120) $108 goes to the League Winner $30 goes toward trophies and the NEW plaque Transaction fees (from the weekly free agent auction) go to the League High Scorer ---- What I don't know is how the teams are loaded into ESPN after the fact. And the bolded part above is important. You must keep enough in the bank to finish out the draft. If there are 4 rounds left, you must have at least $4 left. One of our egg heads wrote some software that keeps everyone's talley.
  3. Nucking futz. Looks fun but I ain't got that kinda ballz.
  4. That's a pretty hostile rebuttel for an honest and heartfelt suggestion. Do your thing, bro.
  5. LOL! Slow down and let Mama relive some scenery. I went to visit my Granny (89) a few weeks ago. All the other family was great to see, but the time with Granny, and her memories were the best part, and the reason for the trip to begin with.
  6. Hold her and love her. Jim doesn't need any advice there. My advice: Take her for a drive.
  7. Read the title of the thread, bro.
  8. Hold up. Did you just put Ferrari an DeLorean in the same class?
  9. I never once considered Chef Jim an architect. Nor an engineer. But I bet he makes a mean taco!

  11. No shiz! Intense! Is that Felton? Reports earlier said he was murdering the sled. Epiphany! One of my FF names shall be Felton Kissed. Hope he makes the team!
  12. It really is cool to hear player after player recognizing, and embracing the Buffalo fan's patience, passion and desire for a another great team. I think that truly means something to a lot of these guys. I don't follow other teams - maybe players on other teams say the same thing, but our current team is filled with passionate players that want to bring a championship to the city of Buffalo, for the fans. Pretty cool.
