Voltaire 4,965 Posted May 24, 2018 The NFL changed it's policy on kneeling today and so I've decided to come back. I was surprised, it was easier than I thought to tune out and stay away but I'll miss FF and I have no reason to give it up anymore. This kind of a compromise is OK. Out of sight/out of mind. It's not what I would have wanted but it's acceptable enough. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=476933 Also, now that he's gotten his life in order and his head on straight, TBBOM has agreed to return to the league and take over Gary's team so we're full again. For those that don't know/remember, TBBOM is the former owner of the team now known as Dr. Strangelove. I'm way behind on the offseason happenings. All the old threads have fallen off the page. They're still here, You can change the settings to view them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,965 Posted May 24, 2018 Oh good grief. Five teams never cleaned out IR and cut down their roster to 22 at the end of the season. IR isn't a place to stash people for the offseason. Normally I harrass and post many warnings about IR cutdowns, but this year, no. Decisions will have to be made how to handle this. Grrr. I hate making decisions.

worm 36 Posted May 24, 2018 Welcome back! Just to clarify, by "we're full" does that mean staying at 14 teams? As for the IR violations, I think given the uncertainty up until now, penalties might be hard to justify. What if now that the league is reactivated we gave those teams a timeline (i.e. a week) to clean up their rosters? If they don't meet that deadline, then some sort of penalty can be enforced.

Voltaire 4,965 Posted May 25, 2018 Who has the first pick ? The new owner of Gary's team: TBBOM I'm not sure the draft order other than I know I'm fifth. I'll start changing the movies around each week as per weekly high score and being more involved again. Offseason has been kind to me. QBs, RBs, and WRs are generally in better situations than last year. The only clear drop at this point is Kevin White and even he may stick if the lightbulb turns on and he looks healthy.

Voltaire 4,965 Posted May 29, 2018 No work has been done on the draft order. I was relying on 90sbaby to do that because I'm not sure exactly how the postseason was handled. Unfortunately, he's been offline for the last few days. I notices that somehow, I was assigned, played in (and won) a playoff game on autopilot which should have never happened. I'd rather he do it since he knows what happened. Me on the other hand, if I do it, I'll have to figure stuff out Sherlock Holmes style. Ah, fock it. My class this evening has been moved to tomorrow. Maybe I'll go take a look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltaire 4,965 Posted May 29, 2018 OK from what I can surmise the draft order is as such That schedule looks right for the first round playoffs but gets embarassingly ugly for the semifinals and championship round. Fricking shameful. Now, If I'm wrong, tell me... Draft Order 1) Cannibal Holocaust 2) Reefer Madness 3) Top Gun 4) Hot Dog The Movie 5) Maltese Falcons 6) Twin Peaks 7) Boondock Saints 8) Dr. Strangelove ------- Then the wildcard playoffs TommyBoy 6 < Firefly 3 Clerks 5 < Deep Throat 4 9) Tommy Boy 10) Clerks ------- Semifinal and this was brutal both games decided by a point or less... Victor Victoria 1> Deep Throat 4 Firefly 3 > Pulp Fiction 2 11) Deep Throat 12) Pulp Fiction ----- Championship Firefly 3 > Victor Victoria 1 13) Victor Victoria 14) Firefly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'm right but I'd like somebody to confirm my postings here and I'll go ahead and set up the 2018 draft order. It's still fugly at the moment, don't worry about it, I've done nothing other than post this stuff here for you all to double check. When I do change it, give it a look over.

Ive never been this underprepared for a redraft since my first year of FF. well when you left we had a plan to keep the league going. More like 90's really waqnted to keep it going and I offered to help where I could but told him I didn't have time to commish another league. when he went awol for a few months or however long it was I didn't want the league falling on me so I assumed it was dead. glad to hear it's alive and well.

Voltaire 4,965 Posted July 29, 2018 I'm on vacation and things won't be rolling for a few, as we will, as usual, draft late in the process. My head isn't screwed on tightly just yet to o anything but that will come. I think though, now would be a good time to make a roll call to make sure everybody is here come mid August.

OldMaid 2,108 Posted August 2, 2018 Im in this year, but its going to be my last. Im not loving the dynasty format. Probably because I dont really pay attention to football during the off season and this needs more of my attention than Im willing to give. If you find a replacement before next year, Id be willing to step down early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,965 Posted August 2, 2018 I've set up the draft dates and the draft order and cut three players from Firefly's roster. You'll want to get your cuts in by the 22nd. You can watch the first two weeks of preseason and make up your mind. However many players you want to cut, that's how many you can draft. Then, we'll watch week three of the preseason and after the last game ends on the 26th, we can start the draft. We'll also need to look around to make sure all fourteen people are accounted for.
