    i dunno but i think there should be some stipulation.....if a guy goes without being bidded on for 24 hours.....then if someone bids it ha to be by atleast 250k.......if its within 5 hours......500k.....and if its within an hour of being won than it should be 1 million.

    its just kinda ridiculous all these players are literally minutes away from being signed 2 days into it.....and 5 minutes before you welcome them to your team someone bids on them at 100k......its so ****ing depressing. i understand the rules are 48 hours and thats it. but lets think about this as "real life scenario"

    chad pennington is a free agent. panthers offer him 2.5million......a day passes no one calls him. 45 hours go bye....no one calls him.....the panthers are like...."hey man...come be our starter, mentor matt moore for a year" and hes like "cool ok" then some other team gets out-bidded for another quarterback they liked better than pennington.....so they say.."oh ****....we'll settle for pennington....." then they call chad and they're like "hey man....the panthers have wanted you for days, your plan B for us.....and we'll offer you 100k more deal?"

    that isnt how it goes. i dunno it just leaves a bad taste in the mouths of the people it happens too. if i was the only one id shut up. but i think there may be another way we could go about it. till then, i understand the rules in place.....so thats fine. but if it can be improved, why not?

    i would be cool with that but it sounds like it could be a little complicated. I think the last minute bidders are just inviting it to be done back on themselves. They will laugh it off and say they dont care but, ya alright sure. Just go get your own STREET JUSTICE.

    Fin-O just did the same to me. 20 minutes left and a minimum 300k contract and he decides then to make a bid on him.

    In five years in this league, this has never happened to me.

    Seriously...WTF is with every Defensive back I target? Why does everybody have to engage me in a bidding war on EVERY guy I target?

    Now I am doing the same crap with Ryan Clark.

    sorry...but it is time to get petty. :shifty:

    I might drag out this bidding war till the draft.

    I got an idea for next time and this has been discussed before... how about silent bids. I mean instead of public bidding, teams have to submit their bid via email to an independent collector of bids. He then takes all the bids and finds the highest one and the FA goes to that team. We could stagger the players. This would take forever but it would be interesting. You take the top rated player at each position and they all get bid on over a course of say three days, again closed bidding, nobody sees what the other teams are bidding. Winners are then announced. Then you take the next highest rated player at each position... so on and so forth. This way, all the losing teams get an opportunity to bid on the next best player at that position. I think this could be exciting as hell. And I have already offered to be the independent collector next year since i have no affiliations with any of you. In fact you all hate me, and I hate you all... :shifty: plus, I'll give you guys a break since I kick your asses every year.

    how about ebay type bidding with a timelimit....highest bid at end of time limit gets player? put players in different groups with more time for bigger name types.....slightly less time for medium guys. and smaller time limit for special team like guys. i dunno just an idea

    Then people will ***** when someone bids on Chad Pennington... has him locked for $2.5M for three days and when there's thirty seconds left... someone places a $3.0M bid on him and wins.....

    I think there's flaws with any system... and people will ***** when they get hosed... not much more to it than that.

    thats how we did it the first year this thing was ran. and trust me, people do NOT want that system. you could think you placed a bid with 3 seconds left, then somebody else bids with .2423232 seconds left. the way it was, was somethin like 3 positions or so a week. the first couple days there wouldnt be much action, but the final 5 minutes is when it exploded. youre gonna get screwed either way.
