Now that the league is full let's decide some things around the draft.
First and foremost i'm scrapping the idea of an Auction Draft and we'll be doing a Snake Draft. I've been convinced this is best. Watch shortly for draft order to be set.
Next, when do we want the draft, keeping in mind we have players from across the US and Canada and players in Australia. Currently the draft is 9:00 PM Central USA time on Friday October 2nd, which is Saturday morning for our Aussie friends. Does that day and time work for all?
I'm also considering moving it up a weekend to September 25th/26th. Let me know your thoughts!

I'm game for that date. I'm really looking forward to knowing the draft order.

That's the only date I can't do (weekend of the 18th) because I'll be camping in the bush with no reception... Can we make it either the one before or the one after? Time wise that is perfect, just not that particular weekend.

Right now I would be a no go on the 18th and 19th as well (although i may be able to move my plans on the 18th). Let's just plan on the 25th then. To me next weekend is too early as I want to prepare myself for this thing for a bit.
I'm going to let Yahoo set the draft order here shortly....the suspense.....

The 18th and 19th does not work for me. I am okay with the weekend after or the one after that though. I prefer the latter of the 2 dates personally.

There is literally nothing more important to me than the dynasty draft right now (sounds pathetic, I know, but it's only a slight exaggeration) and I can make a 9:00 Friday night start anytime between now and the regular season. If it needs to be Oct 2 to accommodate Reavers and other schedules, I'm cool with that. Even the 9th would make sense so we can see a couple preseason games and still have a month to make trades before the season starts. But I'll make sure I'm available whenever.

I quit playing fantasy football because 1) it was a distraction from basketball, and 2) I disliked the fact I would occasionally cheer for the Packers' opponents who were on my fantasy rosters. It's so nice to be able to focus 100% of my attention on fantasy b-ball and the Pack.

I'm down to just one ffootball league and I stay in it because it's a league of people that I work with that is such easy money because they are complete morons when it comes to ffootball. My love of all things NFL is dying a slow and painful death. I miss the days of Brett Favre and Reggie White. I miss the days of Fritz Shurmur and the 2 gap defense. Football has been dumbed down to the point of being dumb. Packer games have gotten boring, we are so conservative I pay more attention to my phone than the game and crap like the NFC title game makes me chuckle. Sigh. I am so pumped for the Bucks this year I can't even remember the last time I was this excited for the team. It started when Herb sold the team and has just gotten stronger with each move they've made, from Coach Kidd, to Jabari, to MCW, to Greg Monroe, to the new Arena...PUMPED!

I couldn't agree more - I haven't been this excited about the Bucks since the Glenn/Ray/Sam days. Lasry and Edens know how to run an operation, and it seems Hammond is effective if you don't micro-manage him. It feels like he's now reproducing the Detroit blueprint in Milwaukee - a deep team of guys without an obvious superstar. On any given night, any one of eight players might carry your team, and one of your guys having an off night doesn't doom you to a loss because another guy will probably pick you up. Kidd's a good coach and he's got a group of team-first guys who are all in the early stages of their careers.
