That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it

And you may be in the lead now, but I'm making a move.

Yeah, going big on the Cowboys doesn't seem like as good a move anymore.

With Ryan, Lewis, Edelmann and Gostkowski in the Super Bowl, I think I've got a decent shot at this!

I made a very critical error in not just taking Ryan with the second pick. I assumed he would fall to my third spot on the swing. Had I done that and just grabbed whichever of Freeman/Coleman were at three, I win this.

I didn't have any faith in the falcons (or any NFC team) so I chose players from teams that I knew would play at least 2 games, like Pittsburgh and Houston. And now I'm in 5th place.

I feel like I lucked into Matt Ryan. I didn't really intend to take any falcons, just to try and focus on Steelers and Pats, but you gotta have a QB from somewhere.

You did luck into him! My goal was to have him and Tom Brady and then I decided to get cute! :argh:

That NE comeback cost me $250. This has been a very frustrating season for me.

How are we doing payouts?

El Caganer this is the awkward part where you tell us your PayPal email address unless you want to give me your address and I ship you 2,000 pennies

I do have a huge jar of change that I've been wondering lately what to do with. May as well add to it.

My paypal is the address I posted at the league site.. juddmail AT gmail

If anybody needs to snailmail, let me know and I'll get you the address

Thanks for jumping in this, guys, what better welcome to the site. Gonna keep an eye out for any baseball openings

So with this wrapped up, I wondered if we could do a quick post mortem. Mostly just two thoughts, since I was considering doing this with some friends next year. What'd y'all think of the format? Is this something better suited to a different draft type?

I wonder a bit about snake draft, mostly because Spoeank seemed to get the short end of the stick. Granted, it's a lot easier to snake slow than get a bunch of people together for an auction or something. Any thoughts?

Think about the "steroid shot" rule, mentioned in the first post, it can be a fun twist and tends to keep more people in it. I know it's gimmicky but I think a playoff league is pretty gimmicky in the first place

I played another game where points are multiplied each round of the playoffs. If you had a Patriot or Falcon, their points were 4x in the Super Bowl.

I know that's how the NFL Playoff Challenge does it, but I don't really like that scheme. It makes winning even more about guessing the two teams that are going to be in the Super Bowl. Obviously even in our format that's a piece of it, but it's plausible that players who score well in a couple games could be more valuable even if they end up getting knocked out.

The steroid shot thing is interesting, though. Would you be required to use it each week?

Yeah every week you have to select a player, as long as you have one left. K, DEF, whoever. A guy can only be roided one time. Win, his score doubles.. Lose, his score is halved. Adjustments made manually at MFL
