I have been in a keeper league for 4 years now. We just recently changed our keeper rules. Our league isnt aution based so I cant give you any advice on that. We set up our keeper system as follows: Two (minimum) to Four (maximum) Keepers per year One Franchise Player- You can keep this guy for as long as you want One Regular Player- You can keep him for 2 years then he goes back into the draft pool Two Optional Keepers- You dont have to use these slots. You cant use these players as keepers in consecutive years I am not a big fan of the optional keepers but this was a compromise between people that wanted more keepers versus less keepers. It makes for a confusing first couple rounds of the draft until everyone has the same amount of players. I finished in last place last year and finished fourth this year in a ten team league. Our structure helps it so the most talented guys will get recycled sometimes. If you trade a keeper then you have to designate which spot he will fill. Some people give their keepers right away but I like to wait until about a week before the draft. I would like to do some offseason trading of keepers but usually that doesnt happen. The commish of my league puts together a excel spreadsheet of the keepers, draft order etc. just prior to the draft so no one is confused on who is taken and who is not. But you always have a few morons who dont look at the list and try to select keepers. I hope this helps you out.

Put the Coy Wire jersey down. Put it down. It should be a very exciting game. I am glad that I have tickets to see it in person. Who knew when I got the tickets at the beginning of the season that the game would have some meaning. Spending X-mas eve with Big Tom at the Ralph. It doesnt get any better than that. Tell the family I said Merry Christmas.

I always check this to see who the announcers for the game are going to be. I see we have the numero uno squad.

The show is ok. The first episode had some holes in it. They recover an on-sides kick then have a long run but the winning TD was tossed from their 30 or so. Just stuff like that. I wouldnt compare it to the book. The book was amazing. The movie ruined that enough. I would compare it to Varsity Blues more than anything. It is a good show though.

I think everyone knew it was going to be a bad game (the commentary and fox) when they had a grphic and pitts saying how DJ was the second year coach for the bills. Then later in the game they were doing a piece on all the Ohio St players in the game and they said ashton youboty was a buckeye from 2000 - 2003. But Fox only gets 2 Bills games a year so i dont think they really care.

i think the bills media bandwagon is taking customers

snickerdoodles are my favorite cookie

I seem to have the same problem. People are afraid of the high rise bridge and go 35 over it causing a massive backup. I hate Virginia drivers.

thanks ... this beats drunken updates from my dad 52 yr old men should not be doing jaegerbombs

Don't forget at 7 pm they have No Huddle on the NFL network. They do live look ins at games. I am sure they will show some of the Bills game.

I would lean more towards the fact that Leak isnt a good fit in Urban's offense. Leak isnt built for it. If he struggles early this year, it wouldnt surprise me if Tebow comes in. The Gators have Percy Harvin at wide receiver this year. I saw him play last year in high school. He had some off field issues but he is nasty. His high school ran a spread type offense and he dominated. I think he will help Leak out a lot. But I think Urban is building for the next couple years when he gets his own recruits in that fit his system on offense. Hey Ramius ... Any word on McDaniel down at FSU? He played with Harvin and orginally committed to Florida but changed to FSU, which I think was the right move. I cant wait for college ball to start.

Sec 314 Row L I get out of work at 4 and will arrive at the RBC Center at 7 barring any major setbacks. Its gonna be a long Friday ... hopefully a Sabres win makes it feel better though.

The South doesnt believe in recycling so there is no deposit on pop and beer. Although if they drove the empties to Michigan ....

I got 4 tickets Sec 309 Row M for Game 1

I got 4 tickets for game 1 ... Sec 309 Row M

Kids ruin everything

Even worse news for England and Mr. Rooney. Looks like there is multiple breaks. Link

I have the same problem when I watch games with my roommates. I just like to sit and enjoy the game in peace and silence. I usually go to my room at watch games there.

Somewhere, Tom Donahoe gently weeps

A good example is Len Pasquerelli's column today. He praises Pittsburgh for trading up for Holmes and possibly giving up too much for someone they covet but bangs on Buffalo for takin Whitner as the "reach" of the draft. Bills are bad for taking someone they covet instead of trading down and risk losing him while Pittsburgh is good for giving up too much for someone they wanted. Gotta love the talking heads.

I think it is safe to say that the Bills front office is focusing on smart, high character guys and intelligent guys. I question some of these moves but now that I sit back and look at it, this reminds me of something the Patriots would do. They draft based on need and for the most part get intelligent players. I think that because it was the Bills making these moves, the talking heads are going to flame them. Mort absolutely HATES the Bills. Whenever he talks about the Bills I just hit mute. I like how Mel defended the Whitner pick and made Mort look like an angry guy trying to defend his boy TD.

My roommate went to Ohio State ... I am now wearing a Ohio State Bills visor ... instead of LA lets move to Columbus

Thanks ... are they streaming anything on the internet?

If Matt Millen wanted to draft him, you do the direct opposite. Matt Millen is a horrible GM. He will probably turn out ok but at the #8 spot?

I have just drank some DRANO .... this is unbilleivable
