Meet the Press has been staple in our house for as long as I can remember. We enjoyed Russert's work so much, and he clearly did too. Sad day. Rest in peace.

Some super delegates hold elected positions (democratic congresspersons, democratic governors, any living former democratic presidents, vice presidents, speakers of the house, and senate majority leaders) and some are just party officials and other members of the democratic national convention. ... and yes, I agree it's another good reason to vote her out.

These guys are doing a good job of tracking the super delegates. They include lists of the super delegates that have endorsed a candidate already and those that have yet to choose a side. If the race stays as close as it is at this point, the super delegates will play a big role. FWIW, the super delegates can vote for whichever candidate they want when the time comes, even if they happen to represent a portion of the population that doesn't support their choice. Case in point: the Democratic congresswoman that represents our district (Lynn Woolsey, ugh) pledged her support for Hillary in late December and our district as a whole went 50.9% to 41.7% in Obama's favor yesterday.

The division tiebreaker process goes like this: overall record (tied at 4-12) 1. head to head (tied at 1-1) 2. division record (tied at 2-4) 3. common games (OAK 2-12, KCC 3-11) 4. conference record 5. strength of victory etc..

Jason, A league of mine made the conversion to a limited keeper format a few years back. We set it up as an optional thing, teams could keep up to 3 players, but the trade-off is that each player that is kept replaces a draft pick ... keep one player and he is penciled in for your first pick, keep two and they become your first two selections, etc. Players are only eligible to be kept in the first three rounds of the draft and once a player has been kept he has to return to the draft pool for the following season. It's worked well for us and makes for a few tough/interesting decisions each year. If yours is going to be a mandatory keeper thing, the draft stuff won't matter unless you decide to include that 3 or 4 player option you mentioned. In that case, you might consider making it so the teams that are keeping a 4th player are skipped in the first round of your draft. As for the off-season trading stuff, we allow it, but not much usually happens until the draft comes into view. You should put some thought into when the keepers would have to be announced - that will play a big role in the trading ... will the keepers be announced on draft day? a week before the draft? at some random point in the off-season? next week? before your draft order is determined or after? It's really a league preference thing. Good luck with it all.

Hugh, I can't imagine the pain they are going through right now, what an absolutely horrible thing. My thoughts are with them.

I clicked on some of the "FantasyPlayers.com" partner sites in their "fantasy players network" (at the top of the page here) and got the same message on all of the sites.

Who: turnit643 What: Chiropractor with some time spent in sports psych, former HS football and hockey coach. Married and expecting our first little one any day now. When: Born during an 8-0 opening day loss for the A's, but I've never held that against them, they went on to win 100 games for me that year. Where: Started in Santa Rosa, CA, got away multiple times, now back again for good. Why: Insomnia mainly. Fantasy Bio: Played in and commished many leagues over the years (more years and leagues than I care to admit), tried many formats, still the best is a long time local redraft filled with friends. I've recently whittled down to two football leagues and one baseball league - which is a blast ... a runs-created format that ruined 5X5 for me forever. Stopped in for a peek at the Huddle here and there for years, jumped in with both feet this year thanks to an invite from Beaumont in the Home Field Advantage BOTH league. It's been a fun glimpse into the family you've all got going over here.
