1 QB and 1 DEF will change before the draft if it stays at its current size. Waiver wise... I don't care either way. I get annoyed by them but it is a nice way to level the field for people that can't get instant internet access.

Which would you prefer?

I'll probably change up setting tomorrow morning.
I would prefer waivers because those in school and work can't access that fast and it makes it level overall with so few teams but I'm going join in right now

Word. I got screwed on that so much in my other league last year. I'll add it.

If we get more than 6 I'll probably go with standard positions unless you guys have some input.

We're at 6. I made a few changes. Added 2 QB/2 DEF. I was tempted to do 1 DEF and 1 Defender but then that makes the draft that much more difficult and you have to carry more people on the team. Bench goes to like... 12 or more.

2 day waiver. Priority goes in order of current standings. Lowest gets highest priority. I don't like having it in draft order because someone could draft low and have a couple hot weeks and be in first place then start landing killer waiver snags and be hard to catch. Look over the points and let me know what you guys think.

make sure you review points as I did put some points in there for receptions, completions and kick returns. So that can change the importance of some folks. Might be worth drafting a higher end 2 receiver that returns over a lower end 1 that doesn't.

looks good to me and are you going add negative points for pick 6's and i have my other league waiver order on a continual rolling list so if you are 1 week 1 you are 8 week 2 so you aren't rewarded by sucking.

Interesting idea.

I'll probably add negatives in a few places. Just not sure how much and where yet. I'll get them in there pre-draft.

That was a fun draft. 6 teams is gonna be CRAZY. LOL>

I can't believe I forgot to snag a 3rd QB. LOLS!!!!! I'm hosed at QB. Might kill me.


On a side note... you guys see this crap from T.O.
Terrell Owens is in tears over some financial issues - Shutdown Corner - NFL Blog - Yahoo! Sports

It's tough to feel bad for these guys but they're kind of screwed from the get go. These guys grow up with dreams of bentleys and fat houses in every city. They get money tossed at them and all their "homies" jump on board and take hand outs. Then you have financial advisors, agents, etc literally stealing money from your pockets (ask hammer). You think oh I will never run out of money and buy all this **** and then when things slow down or you get hurt or just get old you realize that stuff adds up and you grow broke quick. If I had to guess I'd bet that more than half of these "rich" athletes end up broke or working for a living like everyone else. Probably more.

You look at guys like T.O. or Tiki and what not and they're like... oh damn I'm broke. All I have to say is... you ****ing moron. Go sell some of those damn houses and invest that money for your future and the future of your kids.


Then you read about people like Harold Minor.... anyone... anyone? Remember that dude... friggin baby jordan. Guy cashed in on flashy dunks and then wander around as a bench player for a few years in the NBA. Made less in his career and the T.O. makes in a year and the dude is still living off of it. Or Weaver on the Angels. The dude turned down the opportunity to make STUPID money in NY or Boston or what not to stay in his home area and play for the team he loves and be close to his loved ones. His response... I have made enough money to pay for me and several generations of my family. If I run out of money I'm a moron.

Dead ****ing right. That's the right way to do things. You should be able to live off the interest of that money and live FAT.

Another good example... Keanu Reeves and that dude that played for the Giants... CB. White dude. Crazy fast. Retired too early imho. Dude didn't even have a TV in is house. Crazy simple life style.
