"The White Shadow"

Better than NFL.com's site/app. I had to quit one of the leagues I was in because I hated the interface that much.

Oh my god, drafting on NFL.com is a nightmare. A whole bunch of the most vital information (your queue, the draft history, team rosters, and the chat) are all in four tiny boxes stacked on top of each other that you have to keep re-adjusting between constantly to see. And then there's a whole bunch of unused room on the bottom and in other various places and some of the graphics are pointlessly gigantic which could have easily been re-arranged to make one of those four vital boxes be placed somewhere else, like across the bottom or something. It's terrible.

You would think with the billions of dollars the NFL has, they'd actually try their own site versus other sites to see what works and what doesn't. Last year, trying to do anything with their app was a huge exercise in futility. It wouldn't connect, or it would connect and time out, or just a bunch of other crap. NFL.com fantasy football just stinks. Their postseason game isn't as bad, but their main FF? Yuck.

I refused to postpone my "real people" draft in favor of you guys.

Also, I know one of you volunteered to be co-commish. If you still want the job, speak up.

Hey Chickns - congrats, you now have co-commish powers.

As Overlord, I may call on you to handle league business poo poo when I cannot. For example - I'll be out of the country for 2 weekends in September, both of which I'll be on planes. You will have to handle any league bullshit that might (but probably won't) pop up.

For the most part, I just need someone that can handle poo poo if I somehow disappear (or am away) for a while.

I'll still handle the league operations stuff because I gotta PROTECT THE SHIELD.

My laptop's battery died last night and now I have to keep it plugged in or it automatically shuts down, but I'll still be here tomorrow night.

Two seasons ago my house's wifi network died and I had to draft from a McDonald's, and last season nothing bad happened at all but I forgot about the draft altogether. I'm considering not showing up to next season's draft whatsoever.

Wasianchickn, I have to admit, I'm confused too, and as new non-Marino-tainted commish, I'm seeking your wise advice. I got an email in my email because I have email that gets delivered to me. Sometimes more than one a day, which is a marvel of modern technology because the post office guy only comes once a day and he keeps my magazines I swear I have proof. Anyway, in the this "Gmail" (which is what I call my emails because they come from a Googles), it looks like ESPN sent me a personal reminder. Which is nice becuase I can't remember everything or look on a web page that would tell me correct information, so I'm glad for my ESPN secret buddy who sends me stuff. I took a picture of it for you.



So it says that I have a Fantasy draft for tomorrow. Which is confusing because I thought it was for today. If you don't see that in the emails, I put a nice red arrow for you. However, I thought I might have misread that so I kept reading. If you will look at the yellow scissors (or you can kind of look at it sideways and it looks like those magnetic ribbions I keep buying for my car. I don't know why I buy them but I have over 78 of them on my car now because they kind of look cool and I"M sure it makes my car go fast. Anyway, around those yellow ribbons, it says something about ET time. I like ET, and I thought itw as the best ATari game ever. But what time does ET mean? Is it his planetary time? How does my super secret ESPN buddy know what time it is on ET's planet? Also, look at the little cute paw prints. They remind me of my dog, who passed away because she was old. She didn't have blue feet, no, but she used to go on walks with me. Anyway those paw prints say August 25, which is today if my big calendar isn't lieing to me. BUT IT DOESN'T SAY THE YEAR. What do I do? I don't know.

So in order to ask for your help, I added various pictures also so it would catch your attention. I meant to put serious serious football business things here. I put a ring for Dan Marino because he is a sad sad man who punches helpless dolphins. I Know because I saw it on the internet and it's the truth on the internet, my friend Roy said so. Then I saw some cute cats, and I figured that everyone loves cats even though I am a dog Person I watch funny cat videos on the compooter.

Just checked, and we beat our previous record of 4 no-shows. If you count the late guys as attendees, we had ONE no-show, which is simply astounding.

Understood. I saw the iOS app, and can see how it'd be hard.

And yeah, I'll set the schedule sometime this week.

True, but iOS is notoriously finnicky and doesn't work on any two machines the same way. You know, because Apple is invincible and all.

I like this post. Because it mocks Apple for being deficient, then tries so hard to put down Android in order to feel superior.

BTW, I'll ask Les to deliver your Cane's some time this week. I expect those 20 points to be used however I need them to be used.
