My team sucked last year and I vowed not to play again this year but gently caress it, I'm in.

We should probably try to nail down a draft day sooner than later - any days that don't work for people next week?

So far it's looking like Monday or Wednesday, 6pm PST would work for several people. Speak up if these times/days won't work for anyone.

Let's go with 8/24. I have a meeting that usually runs late on 8/26 so the 24th works best for me, and seems to work for everyone else as well.

Not sure how we want to decide the draft order this time around, any suggestions?

Catfish - I've never done a 16-person draft but I imagine it'll take a few hours. As long as you're there for the first half you should probably be good. I don't know, seems like most leagues I get into end up getting won by auto-drafters anyway.

To keep things active, I propose the winner of the "losers bracket" in the playoffs also receive 1 case of beer! yay/nay?

I believe that's how it worked last year.

TubeStank - shipping will depend on where you are and where you're shipping to, and how much you're shipping, should range from $10-30.

I can do Wednesday as well.

If he wasn't good enough for the Eagles, he shouldn't have been good enough for your team imo

Yea, see why I wanted AS-J's points. Was sweating Hyde's night!

Almost had a chance there if Teddy could have thrown a garbage time TD to one of my two Minn WRs but he decided to suck instead.

Holy poo poo I got a win! And a decisive win at that!

Whoever dropped Tyrod Taylor so I could claim him off of waivers earlier in the season: THANK YOU!

Yeah, thank you for not making me feel too torn up about sitting Blount. I seem to be off to a very familiar start this year.

The joy of a 16-team league: put in five waiver claims and got one, and for that I went from 12th to 13th in waiver order.

Well that's never happened to me before - I was picking up a player off FA just now and when I hit confirm it gave an error saying another roster was invalid. Went back and saw Roethlislager had picked the guy up, must have beat me by seconds.

I'm 1-4 now. At this point there's no point in continuing to pay attention to this right? Is there any incentive to keep playing?

I've gotten into the playoffs with five losses before but it's a long shot. There's always the losers' bracket though!

I felt pretty good coming into last night down 30ish with Dalton, Hopkins and Eifert, but wow, what a terrible MNF game (minus Hopkins' catch) all around.

Yeah, I was looking through the scores and couldn't believe you only won by .1 - better hope for no stat corrections!

I trade with dphi a few times a year so it would be awesome if we didn't get matched up. Though it would be sweet schaudenfreude to have him send me a box after beating him twice :boom:

Yeah, I deserve that.

16 teams is rough if luck's not on your side (or if Luck is on your side), especially when you lose your first four draft picks to injury.

Jota I'm sending you a case of natty lite. Kidding, but are there any styles you despise?

E:pm me your address please

Also I've never shipped beer. Is it fine to just buy one of those foam shippers, put it in a box with some packing material and usps it?

Most people will tell you to use FedEx or UPS but I do know people who use USPS. The foam shippers should come with a box it fits in tightly, just use newspaper in each bottle slot to keep them from moving around.

Just a heads up, weather right now kinda sucks in the midwest. Here in IN we've had some terribly cold temps (like -20 degree wind chill), so definitely try and monitor weather conditions to where you're sending your box. You don't want that box to freeze!

I'd advise getting together with whoever you're sending a box to to see what their weather is like. Better to be a little later on shipping than to get a porch bomb that blows up, well, on your porch.

Your week old IPAs will have to be two week old IPAs :(
