To avoid this issue again, is this the correct order of picks 11 and 12?

Good point. This could determine which of you two get Favre. unsure.gif

Not yet.

Looks like it needs to be fixed. I won't draft when it's my turn until it's resolved.

At this rate that will be sometime around week 4
Pope Flick
Hey guys - sorry about that. I thought the order issue had been resolved.


Timer is set at 4 hours, which is what we've always used.

I do apologize for any snafu here. My dad's visiting and lenghty online access was tricky this past weekend. If you've seen me here, it was probably on my phone, which doesn't do MFL very well.

The draft is broke - it won't let me select.

I am choosing NYG Defense. Give me a sec to figure this out (yet again).

I got it to work.

It was looking for personal draft list instead of alphabetical list. Then said timer expired. Then it made the next 2 pics then I was able to make a replacement pick of them in place of "none".
Pope Flick
OK - timer appears to be working, savage is on the clock, my pick is in the books.

Thanks - MFL has told me there's a 15-20 minutes processing time when the clock expires before it moves on. That was the snag, so it should work as designed for the moment.

Now, I have to get Goop caught up because he got called for jury duty today. doh.gif
CaP'N GRuNGe
Some potential at WR here. I was thinking of Chaz too Savage and Meachem was also on my list given the NO high powered offense. In the end I went with Chris Henry because Benson needed some Bengal company. unsure.gif
Pope Flick
Also, the ftaman/bj order is fixed through round 15 so that's good to go as well.


I'm glad this is bascially the last screwy draft I've had to run. It's like a broken clock for 4 years.
Pope Flick
OK - and goop is getting home in about an hour, so he's electing to use his clock instead of figuring it out via texting...

I pretty much was hoping one of the three would fall to me. Chaz might not do anything for me this season, but hopefully next year he can become a producer.

Just this morning: gaddis correctly points out the timer isn't working. My pick is up, so I turn the clock on and BAM it expires on me and my pick gets skipped.

I've had this guy on my roster(s) off and on for a while now. I know Coles is there, but that guy really disappointed my last year. I know Henry has been a tool off the field, but he's got talent and he's only like 26 IIRC.

Just made my pick. TJ Duckett. Thanks for waiting guys. Made $17 from Jury Duty today.

Thought I had Julius Jones at the top, but I'm not particularly broken-hearted to miss out on him - Seattle's run game looks like a cast of thousands; I don't know that Mora is the type to hitch himself to one hoss and ride, so it has the stank of RBBC.

I had the SDC and NYG D on my short list and was hoping one or the other would slide, but I'm pretty happy with the Pats. Hartley is a dome kicker for a prolific offense, what ain't to like there?

Without looking at my preselects, I'm not seeing much worth wringing hands over going in the draft right now. I don't think there's much worth wringing hands over OUT there.

Well there is this...

Saints placekicker Hartley suspended 4 games

The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that Saints PK Garrett Hartley will be suspended four games to start the 2009 season.
No reason is given, but it's possible the issue has contributed to Hartley's struggles in training camp. Kicking is obviously very mental. It also explains the signing of John Carney. If Carney kicks well in the first four weeks, however, the Saints may just cut ties with Hartley after he comes off the suspended list. Hartley was 13-of-13 on field goals in eight games last year.

Ouch.

As long as Cribs gets to play the Lions for 16 games, he'll do great.

Getting an "invalid roster" alert.

My pick is K Faulk, NE.
Dr. Love
My pick is Chris Brown, RB, HOU.

I had him preselected with several others. I don't know why the pick wasn't made.

Shouldn't the rosters be set for 22?

Pope changed the PW for commish, so I can't get in. sad.gif

We're good to go, and I shot the revised password to robn.

Hey look! It's another older, broken down RB to go with my collection of WRs! Caddy should be a nice replacement for Jamal Lewis. Two yards and a cloud of dust.

Damn it Savage. I had Hurd at the top of my list this round. And that's only because I forgot to put him on a few rounds ago. One of my Dallas homers indicated to me that he is playing better than Austin and may land the number 3 spot ahead of him.

Wanna trade for Samkon Gado unsure.gif

I may have a number of players on the trading block after the draft... I sure wouldn't be upset seeing an offer for Hurd. shades.gif

I'll be looking for TE's or non-Gado-like RB's. smile.gif

I'm a bit surprised MoMo lasted as long as he did. I kept forgetting to draft him.
