SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Lets keep commentary out of the bidding threads unless it's attached to a bid.

I'll start off... Vandy being nominated by the Swords... :homer

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

When was this decided as the start date? I know we talked about the 16th but I don't remember ever seeing anything official. Can someone point me in the right direction here?

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Well, we didn't hold a vote, but everyone who commented indicated the 16th would be good, including yourself I believe.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

I am fine with the date. I guess my concern is that it was never officially declared so I would not have known about it if RandiLover had not sent me an e-mail.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Does no harm to send out a general email notice making sure everyone knows.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

good point

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

wow...the rookie jonathan goddard bid on early in UFA. surprising move and will probably sell at the minimum.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

I am just realizing how long this will take. Good thing we started in May, August will seemingly be just enough time at this rate.

It's like a dream come true, football all summer.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

hear, hear :toast:

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Y, I had to look him up... a 6th rd pick... interesting Matt (his bid)... not sure where you're going with that as he's not Taxi eligible.

Re: RB Ladainian Tomlinson, SD
 

:yikes :Popcorn

Problem is... it doesn't make much sense over here. Forgive me for trying to have a little fun... oops :Sorry :YesMaster :threadsuc :idiot :Penalty ;)

Re: RB Ladainian Tomlinson, SD
 

FYI, I split this out of the LT thread, we need to keep only bids in the threads, as it's the easiest way to keep track of the clock on the last bid.

All commentary should be posted in this thread.

F'n :noob ;)

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

I think it would be interesting if randilover won all 10 auctions that he is currently high on. Haven't done the math, but if he isnt over the cap with his bids, he is dang close.

Brings back memories of the CDL initial draft and some guys getting screwed.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Or, he could be pulling a "skippy" and just trying to jack up all the bids...

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

I've been tracking it, and it'd be well under. It's a lot, but not of high salarys. Plus, this early, none of the bids will be the last.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Stop spreading these lies Rami! :Bla

BTW - after talking with preds, he was the one that was bidding up players and got stuck with a bunch of overpriced guys in CDL

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Yup, but I traded my way out of 2 of the high bids, and went 15-0 that year before choking in the bowl... it CAN work as a stratagy! ;)

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Well, if someone wins a large number of bids on these first players, good luck trading out of them.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

CDL was a different setup that year, 1st off, all the guys 'cept me and 1 or 2 others were new to auctions that year. Plus, after the initial auction, CDL lifted it's cap so you could be over the cap all summer. Made it a lot easier to overpay and shuffle around.

In SAC'D, you always have to stay under the cap and cannot exceed it for more than 24 hours without severe penalties, that changes things dramatically.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Not that expect to receive any, but what do you term "severe penalties."

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

We send some "friends" to your house to make you an offer that you can't refuse.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Read the rules, specifically section 7F

:newbie ;)

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

who? Luca Brasi? He's sleeping with the fishes...

Re: RB Ladainian Tomlinson, SD
 

Yah, lost in context here.....I take it is was in reference to my bid?
:huh :newhere :dammit :rockon

Re: RB Ladainian Tomlinson, SD
 

Brett made a comment in the LT thread on being shocked at the bidding. We cannot have commentary on the bids in the threads themselves as it messes up tracking when the bids expire, so I split his comment out and moved it over here with a :newbie reprimand. ;)

Re: RB Ladainian Tomlinson, SD
 

Yah, you already said that. :idiot

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

in regards to the Jamal Lewis thread...
so, Mike, how do you really feel?

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

:D

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

So now that :burt is bidding in the Jamal Lewis thread, does that mean that keepers is the "winner" :cough: of the LT sweepstakes.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Friggin Keepers has messed up my bidding on Jamal now... g, thx, next thing ya know and Jamal will be crossing 3g as a result of this. :wallbang

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Now, if I can just drive Jamal over 4000, I can move onto the next victim.....:bling :Owned

Thanks for the backup Burt. So, I made a little mistake... Forgive me for trying to have a little fun.. :nutkick I wasn't thinking about the time stamp and clock. WTF The bidding was about to top 4k and I thought I would make a comical statement about it. :idiot I am sure my bid or lack there of... would have :skull the whole thread. Sorry King Mike.:Bowtoking
LOL j/k ;)

Late,
:valencia

Re: RB Ladainian Tomlinson, SD
 

lol, not bad Brett,

perhaps we need to calm you down some though... maybe chill and smoke some, ahem you know :smoke... ;)

Re: RB Ladainian Tomlinson, SD
 

:hitit :grouphug :toast: :drinktoge :smooch

Re: LT Sweepstakes
 

:burt is back into the LT sweepstakes :duel

I may be blinking here, need to give it some thought

Re: LT Sweepstakes
 

:burt never left, he was just playin ya ;)

So who blinks 1st? 5200 is some major :bling

Re: LT Sweepstakes
 

Is the Alexander bid a :burt smokescreen? Heh....:bling

Re: LT Sweepstakes
 

LOL We will see

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Gunslingers strategy appears to be to grab undrafted rooks for dirt cheap early on.

Still scratching my head over the Goddard bid. Then he hit me with the Babineaux one. At least Bab's was a 2nd rd pick (vs. the 6th that Goddard was), but still, he's an inside DL buried on the Falcons depth chart at the moment.

An interesting strategy Matt, I for one will let you have these stiffs. You may throw 10 out there and hit on 1, but in the meantime your Active Roster will be tied up with a bunch of bums, as none of these guys are Taxi or Practice Squad eligible (since they weren't drafted by you or another team in SAC'D).

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Hey, stop trying to talk him out of it. I think it's a great strategy.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

That's just wrong that McNabb is going for more than Peyton right now.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Philly :homer's

ROFLMAO

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Man, how'd that happen.


Hm, Skips got that tricky bid in on him too.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

It is but that is what happens when two people like the same guy. With Cpep likely falling out of the top echelon, these two guys are the easily the top 2 so doesn't seem unreasonable.

:dammit I am getting out bid on McNabb and LT

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Yep, so you can just leave LT for me now....:bling

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Actually the surprising part was that Manning was going untouched. He was still a steal at that 12:01am price.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Things are back in order with Manning going for more than Donovan ... I wanted to make one last bid on McNabb but didn't think it was right that he was going for more than Manning.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

I think I am out of the LT sweepstakes. Something in the range of 5000 was my threshold, wonder if I started with a price between 4500 & 5000 if everyone would have been so shocked I would have got him there.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

You were one of those guys on the steps Manning was high fiving in that commercial, weren't yah?!!:wave

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

:woowoo, LT stays out of the Tillman Division!

;)

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Quit trying to taunt him back into the game...:idiot

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Me? Taunt? :Shrug

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Only start worrying if someone makes a higher bid on Alexander ... there is no way I want to get both of them at 4000 & 5000.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Looks like you might win the McNabb one. Geez. He's one of the top 3, but getting out at this point might be really nice...

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

This is more than I would like to spend on McNabb and I thought long and hard about bidding this high. But there are few sure things in FF, just think McNabb is one of them (LT too).

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

:Posturing WhileHopingRandiTakesTheBaitAndTakesHim OffTheHook :fishing

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

LOL I wouldn't have bid this high if didn't want him as know it is around his max price. Same for LT.

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Some of you are nuts...but then again you might be geniuses. I can't wait to see what kind of prices the second round of nominations bring. I may need to make some drastic changes to my estimated spending formulae if current trends continue to progress status in quo, just to capture a big-time stud to lead the way for the Disciples of the 36 Chambers.

:swords

Re: SAC'D Vet Auction Commentary
 

Actually, there was a part of me that is glad to get out of it. I was thinking you'd top out before me, but I have mixed feelings about it. Mcnabb is one of the best (and was before TO came along), he is consistently good. What ever he gets he is worth.
