I'd love to do this over this weekend. Is that cool for the majority of people? try to get this next season started and finished by time madden '11 comes out

sunday?

Time to bust out a new signature. Saved it as the wrong type so harder to go back and change it around because I wasn't done, but for now I will use this until I tinker with a different one or unless I change my mind about QB.

Quick count it looks my team progressed 78 points overall. My RBs and WRs were both big winners again this year with progression. My 5 starting WR went up 20 points combined and even my old fifth string I cut went up 6. Has changed my draft plans some and may add some players to the trading block, still kind of looking over everything. I love progression though, like a kid in a candy store.

Oh, not sure anyone is interested but during the bye week I averaged up some numbers; I'm a stat guy.

2010 Regular Season Game Averages

Points For: 40
Total Yards For: 345
Passing Yards For: 182
Rushing Yards For: 163

Points Against: 14

hopefully others can agree to this

I can do Sat 12th....but busy Sunday then leaving that night...wont be back till 17th, can also do 18th or 19th but then leaving 20th, then not back till 26th which would work, and then 27th and back for while.

I am all for starting up the next season, but dont want to rush this and make it a mess either...if we are in the league we are in the league so Madden 11 doesnt really change getting it right.

I could also probably do something Saturday night. I forgot I switched shifts and work in the morning.

Sunday is fine by me.

I think Sunday works for me too. Need to know what time by tomorrow though.

I can do either day. Would prefer Saturday, but am flexible.

Sunday evening is best for me.

As far as I'm aware I should be ok for Saturday and Sunday if it's chosen for one of those days.

Well... I don;t pick til the third now.

Gotta say though, whoever ends up with Deon Grimes is gonna be one happy mofo judging by those ratings.

My other early faves: Reggie Kenton

And if I hadn't gotten Ed Reed and Jon Beason, I'd have targeted FS Tai-ler Bernard at 11 and MLB Marquise Kassem at 31. Let's see if I woulda gotten them. lol.

It's fun NOT having to worry about the draft!!!! I can pretty much tell y'all what my strategy was. :)

I can make Saturday after 4pm est and any time Sunday

ok so it looks like the majority can do sunday evening. lets make that happen!

we'll make it a time set in stone soon. so everyone.....our 2nd annual nfl draft is set for sunday evening/night :woot:

ok and im thinking about doing the draft on the ps3 (from what i have seen online, you can set the timer from there)

the only bad thing is there is no chat room.

so we can chat on the ea site chat room, and run the draft via ps3. cool? if not, maybe people can make picks from ea site if I (commish) is starting draft from ps3? we shall see

I have Grimes in an offline franchise. He never progresses, but he's great.

Best part about Grimes? His college!

Hewitt actually becomes the best player in the draft topping out at like 94 or 96

Crud, well, it has to be very early EST Sunday Evening (6pm-8pm-ish) otherwise Browns will have to exit the league (cause Auto picks will kill me)....and Sunday is still stretching it....this sucks with all the moves made we are rushing a Draft night.

Why not Sat 12th???, Why not Friday the 18th, or Sat 19th (gone 20th)??? Once I get back on 25th, I will be back for most of July (June just is crazy, for now at least).

P.S. for any NEW owner, etc....please reach out to Mor911 (send him PM, etc) and get your contact info posted in the League CONTACT sticky thread, asap, etc.

K let's shoot for next weekend the 18th. How's that look for everyone?

I can do next Sat or Sun, the 19th or 20th, but on Friday the 18th I don't get home until 10:30pm EST.

Sick, this is gonna be a tricky one. You may wanna give priority to ppl who either have other pols picks or have to tell other people who to take at those picks since both parties really do need to be involved live. People with only their own picks could, technically, just set up their draft board before the draft and still get who they wanted if they couldn't attend.

Actually, I can do the Sunday the 20th ONLY if we did it before 4:30pm EST.

I have work stuff tjat my boss told us about months ago and can't get out of without him getti pissed.

Unfortunately, I fly out to Seattle/Alaska early EST on 20th...then I am not back till late on 25th...but then free for any day or night all through late July.

I know its hard to coordinate...but are we even sure that all Owners are even aware of trying to schedule this draft night??? Do we have a MASS DISTRIBUTION approach to contact and get acknowledgment?

Obviously, based on trades, the Browns need the CARDINALS, SEAHAWKS, CHIEFS, and FALCONS to be online for those traded picks.

Just wondering how many of the 19 OWNERS have we heard from? all, or close to all??
