Well this is my first time but I learned a trick. You nominate household names, that aren't really worth it when it comes down to efficiency. So you get people to end up paying #1 money for a 3rd tier player. I nominated Reggie Bush, Randy Moss, Daren Mcfadden. Some poor soul ended up paying 125 for McFadden LOLS!
I nominate Brent

is that like top 3 money? lol. whats your cap at?

Cap is at $200. It evens out if you splurge right away, because if some idiot thought Rogers or Brady were worth $100, they can lose out on a good deal later. For example some guys went into a bidding war for Peyton right away. He was supposed to fetch an average of $42, but these morons wanted to secure a QB and ended up bidding up to $90. So once Matt Forte came around as a bargain of $15 instead of the $40 he was easily going to fetch, they had spent all their money. So now their roster is made up of the Cleveland Browns filling in spots hehe.

Top 3 money is around $70

Why the Hell do people start their Faantasy Drafts over a month before the season starts?

because they're gluten for punishment when their first 4 rounds tear acls and have to waiver wire to the extreme.

edit; random thought on why not to do early. i found in my several years of doing them that the earlier you did them the more the likely the league would be a dead zone of no one updating their roster on a weekly basis

Never has been an issue in the history of Cloudy's league, which has run for 4 years now. He have a decent group of NFL-GAFfers (and two non-ones).

Reason I joined one so early is because I never heard from asking in the thread about any spots available on Gaf. So I went with another as a backup.

This Kluwe Q&A on deadspin is pretty interesting/amusing at times. He candidly talks about Goodell, pooping during games, Mankato, punting dogs, Matt Dodge, a hypothetical Bob Costas vs Goodell fight, CFA, gays in the NFL, Jared Allen etc etc etc.

Worth the time it takes to go through.

And looking at answers like this:

chris. What are your real thoughts on the Wii U? please don't use dude bro fanboy reasons.

It's garbage. Nintendo needs to get their heads out of their ass and stop relying on Mario and Link to sell games, and actually put out some decent hardware

He should really return to GAF. Too bad snes is banned.

I just read some bad news about Robert Meachem hurting his knee. He's not on the Saints anymore but I hope he's ok. Dude is a baller.
 
The French are a lot of things, but they're not fast. Jesus, I grew a beard whilst standing in line for check-in.

And my flight is delayed...FUCKING A!!!!!

Training camp hype time.

Travis Benjamin is sounding more and more impressive every single day. Just read in the off time they had before training camp he was training with Andre Johnson and a few other NFL WRs in Miami. He said the experience really helped him learn a thing or two about making it in the NFL.

/overhyping

Also looks like the Browns offense has finally started to catch up to the D and have been gradually getting to respectable levels.
 
After waiting in line for more than an hour in 110 degrees, fucking Frenchie tried to put me all the way in the back of the plane, while I already booked a seat at home, for which I also payed extra. I told him to go eat a bag of dicks and give the seat I reserved. His mom must have dropped him on his head one to many times.

And then I tried to buy a fucking magazine, to find out that the store sells at a 10 bucks minimum, now I have 5 packs of gum.

We take our time to do things well. Otherwise, beard is cool.

Ross Tucker ‏@RossTuckerNFL
Big Ben HAS to lead the NFL in publicly bringing up & talking about his injuries

Jim Trotter ‏@SI_JimTrotter
Does any elite player publicly disclose his injuries more readily than Ben Roethlisberger? #NFL

heh

Does ESPN know there are other teams in the NFL besides the Jets? They're doing extended live coverage of Jets training camp for the second day in a row.

Rhetorical question, we all know the answer is no.

So has Ben created this whole "tough QB" facade? Was he really ever hurt? WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE!?!?

Well, it seems to work, at least with people like bionic.

Ben constantly whines about injuries and is seen as the toughest QB in the leage, while Brady plays through injuries like 3 cracked ribs and whatever and is a "bitch".

Brady is a bitch b/c he whines to the officials whenever he falls down looking for a roughing the passer call. I've never seen an NFL player flag-beg like Tommy. I'm a fan, but it is a negative trait of his

Hernandez is unstoppable! Hightower will have an immediate impact! Dowling is not njured (yet)! Cunningham is a beast! Brady and Lloyd will be the new dream connection! GRONK GRONK GRONK!

Being hyped is easy.

I'm excited about the Wrs we added, Gordan being the main one. It's sounding like Jordan Cameron is coming along also this is good to here, Watson is about one concussion away from his career ending in all honesty.
