Bear with me while I sort my way through all the emails, posts and PMs concerning keepers, trades and so on. I also need to do some work to justify my employer letting me keep coming here.
Thanks
What is your estimate of when this will be complete?

About an hour if I'm lucky.
I can work through them if you want to forward them to me.

Will be done soon. There's been an email snafu with one of them.

I have not received keepers from two of our owners. Here's what I intend to do. I will nominate their keepers for them if I have not received them by 12:00 Central today. At least two keepers are patently obvious in each of the two teams, so it won't be difficult for me to do. Where there is no third keeper, I'll nominate only two.
I could simply declare "no keepers" but I feel that would potentially ruin the good spirit we have in this league. However, I want to be as fair as I can to everyone so this is the limit I am extending.
I notice some of you are posting your own, which is fine, but I do have a post with all keepers ready to go at noon.
Hopefully, you'll all think this is a reasonable direction to take.

I think that's all that can be done and I don't think it's very fair to put you in that situation.
Thanks for your hard work!

Are you kidding? Have you seen how I do in this league? Penalty? They'd be better off if I said no keepers.

Name names!!! They must be properly lambasted!!!
I stressed out and rushed like he|| to get to my office after a train delay to get my keepers in @ 8:58 am while blowing off co-workers, clients, and a partner.
somehow, and i do not know how, i got the keepers in.
I'm a putz at texting, although I tried to send gil a text to hopefully communicate w/ the league, but I failed miserably on that front.

Keepers are posted and pinned.
I will try to get them placed in the draft spots later.
if it helps, i dropped my nonkeepers in mfl
What's the point of naming keepers if they aren't turned in by the deadline?
OR....extend the deadline.
I guess you had to make a decision.

I have to go draft in my local (actually the MN BOTH league UFF-DA) so I'll be out for a while. I hope tonight to load up the keepers into the draft positions.

It was me for one. I apologize as there is no excuse. However, in my defense I am triple hatted this week and next as squadron commander, deputy and operations officer. Add to that I've had 13-16 hour days all week (with no access to Huddle or MFL) and it makes it real hard to make this work.

A simple "My dog ate my keeper list" would have worked. Really.
Seriously, though. Keep up the great work. And happy to get any part of you that we can.

I started entering the keepers for the League. Got a problem w/ dug's & MIT's keepers though. the keeper thread shows keepers on both of these teams that don't have corresponding draft picks avail. are these teams using draft picks from earlier rounds or is there an error???

i need to use my 4th pick to keep Baber (a 5th round keeper) since we cannot trade picks any longer.
