I'll just waste my work hours doing that.

The 23 hour deal is the worst part of this draft. The strategy has been discussed ad nauseum, so I will leave it at that.

I also second Burt on the signatures. You lose what is being said in that train that follows every comment.

well enjoy it. i probably would've gone up to about 1700 but a week-long vacation in the mountains with no computer access and no cell phone reception prevented me from doing so. i'm just happy my lil' cuz was able to do a little of my dirty work last week. he said you guys stuck him with urlacher (bears fan)...he said he was trying to drive up the price but i'm pleased to see that urlacher will be the core of The Disciples of the 36 Chambers defense for many years to come.

i'm back in action boys...just give me a little time to get caught up and i'll put up an idp and iop for auction

Wow, didn't expect to get both Edge and Deuce but I will take them as RBs are going for big bucks. One way to look at it as I got the two of them for only 1100 more than what LT went for on his own and 2600 more than what McGahee went for :bling

There are a lot of teams out there without any RBs, who are they waiting on?

I liked your pull on Edge & Deuce... all thing considered, in this marketplace you got a great combo.

Well for bumping Rudi I hope you get stuck with him andTiki to go along with McGahee! (3700+2400+2550=CAP HELL!)

No upps from me.

Actually Tiki is only 2500. My hopes are to land 1 of them, I just couldn't let Rudi sell at such a relatively cheap price in this market.

If I land both, no problem. Ill only carry 3 RB's and cut back even further on D. I have a plan in place should that occur, and it's not THAT far off from my earlier budget.

Go ahead, stick em both on me!

Nice pick up Gates by :skippy ... last year he was a top 10 WR let alone TE and he went for much less than top 10 WRs are going to go for in this auction.

No way

reds will get both Rudi and Tiki as so many people need RBs ... a few guys are going to be fighting it out for JJ, Tatum and Jackson.

Domanick Davis is out there as well, as is Corey Dillon, but after that the RB pickings are pretty slim. Letting Gates sell was not easy for me, I love him as a player, however, I just had my neck out too far on other bids this morning to keep him in play.

Do I have it right that :swords and :valencia have each only spent just over 2K?

Can't wait to see who they are saving their $$$ for.

They have not been around too much lately, which I think is what kept them down. Have we heard from Valencia, did he return "our" calls?

The Immortal Ramirez · June 1st, 2005, 12:58 PM

so, if I read Preds comments correctly - he's a :homer for :Bills, :Ravens & :Buccaneer. Have I missed anyone? For some reason

ackers also sticks in my mind...

Valencia has not been online in a week. What should we do?

Start nominating players already on his team?

ummm....that would be 1 player.

The problem is that he is mainly hurting his team. He is not getting any players on his team and if we have to find a replacement his replacement will be hurting trying to field a decent team.

n'yet, just seem to be watching a lot of Ravens games the last couple years, and like quite a few of their felons, particularly on D ;)

I've tried contacting Brett at home and on his cell for the past couple days. If I don't hear from him by tommorrow, I'll call a friend of his out in CA and see if somethings up.

Yeah, I'm all for getting an edge over another, but at some point you still want it to be competitive. Hopefully we'll find out what's up by tomorrow.

OK, I spoke with Brent (Brett's good buddy out in CA), he told me he's pretty certain (like 95%) that Brett was out of town for 1-2 weeks. Not sure when he left, or when he'll be back, or if it was planned, but that's the latest info I got.

Sounds like he's ok though, which was a bigger concern IMO.

:rant pissed I just lost out on Rudi, but I can't afford to go higher than 2700. Had I known the bump was coming in the last 90mins I'd have kept Tiki in play.

:rant

:ohshit, I'm actually pissed... :dammit!

Eh? The LT deal maybe, but that was more for kicks that morning, and cause I KNEW Burt would pay more.

Rudi was at a legit sale point, being overpaid as the 11th best back despite being a 15-20 range producer.

Had I known randi was still targeting Rudi I woulda switched focus to Tiki instead of letting him sell... that's what I'm pissed about, but I'll get over it, he did what's best for his team... I can still :rant about it though!
