I'll have her sign up tomorrow.  I just don't want to deprive a true NFL fan of a chance to participate is all.

Will no one seriously take the damn plaque?  LOL

I really hope we'll do it Thursday or Friday evening. I'm traveling so if it's Wednesday I'll have to auto draft.

There's probably a better thread for that. Wink This one's for fantasy football. I myself have started losing interest in watching football over the last 2-3 years, but I still love the idea of fantasy football, and will continue to play.

I used the post options and asked to have your comment removed. So if anyone is a fascists it is me, but your comment was as unnecessary as your current one.

Draft should be at an earliest after the 3rd week of preseason. (I prefer after the fourth but it's a tight window that way especially with the holiday weekend...so slightly earlier is acceptable.) As for times of day, either early afternoon (12-2ish) or late at night (9:30 or later) is preferred for me.

If we're at 12 teams, my wife said she'd be happy to join "my team" as assistant coach (meaning she gets to pick a few players during the draft).  Tongue

No problem, have her sign up and why not get the other member to sign up as well. And agreed about draft time, definetly sometime after the 23rd would be preferable.

If there is one problem I would have about people who join the league that do not regularly frequent the archives is that if they were to perhaps win, that is one more year of me holding on to the plaque (as I think someone not into the archives/prog would not want the plaque). Also, I like the camaraderie we've developed here and I enjoy playing with roughly the same group of people every year, and people outside the archives (not necessarily talking about Mrs.Brown) have little chance or playing again next year. I was actually hoping to discuss turning this into a dynasty league (where you get to keep a player or two from your roster year to year to year)  but I would only want to implement this when there everyone playing is at least a year deep into the league.


She went from uninterested "okay I'll do it" to "okay this is fun" in relatively short time.  I ran a mock draft with her.  She is interested.  Smile

If you need one more person, I am fairly confident I can get you one (and someone who is on ProgArchives, no less). 

As for dates, anytime but this Sunday afternoon EST or the work week that follows will be good for me.

The last two years we've had almost 100% turnout, grant it it was only an 8 and 10 person league, but the month is hallway through so let's get it hashed out.


She is a member here.  I provided a link to her account.  If you weren't keen on having her, you could have said so, and that would have been that.
