The account is active (as in, not deactivated) and therefore should be accessible. PM me if you want to sort this out.

I'm boycotting due to the egregious oversight of no CFL fantasty league. :noway:

;)

Almanzo and I are in this year again. That draft date should work for us.

It makes me genuinely happy to see everyone back for another year. :inlove: Such an awesome tradition. I look forward to it each year.

Now that we have 8 confirmed, any additional players must come in pairs. We'll remain open for any newbies to join until the draft.

Catspaw, that means you'll also have to recruit Shadowpaw once you decide to get over yourself and play American fantasy football with us. :x

Sure, if his team (or who I assume his team is...) beats my team, then I'll switch over the to the inferior American product. Four downs? Lame!

(I really only watch my closest local CFL team, the Grey Cup, and the Super Bowl when it comes to football - and even then I ignore all the stuff I don't understand.) O:)

Haha. :) Considering how much the offense is preferred in today's NFL, I wouldn't be shocked if one day we started allowing more than four downs!

I literally don't pay attention to Football at all, I just do this because it's funny.
Also, A.E., I confirmed, just putting it out there.

Oops, I just fixed the first post to note that we're all confirmed. Thanks.

I'm wondering if we should actually delay the draft a little longer?
(Sorry for not mentioning this sooner, I've been away.)

The 22nd is in line with what we usually tend to do, but the last couple years have made me think it may be time to change up our approach. The reason we traditionally have held our draft so early (compared to when most fantasy leagues tend to do it) was to allow a good amount of time for post-draft roster analysis and making player trades pre-kickoff. That hasn't been a thing that happens anymore as of recent.

What has happened though is a seemingly drastic increase of last minute major injuries to high profile players. I think these days it would be most prudent to draft pretty close to season start, maybe one week in advance?

Based on the lack of responses in support of delay, let's keep the draft as scheduled. The draft will be held tonight at 9:00 PM EST.

bookworm, next year, let's plan to pick a draft date closer to the start of the regular season. I like the idea.
