For what it's worth, I've tried to get in the last couple of seasons and have been one of the 2-3 left out each time. I did manage to make it in half-way through season 9 for someone that flaked. And I was the 1st non-returning player to post in this thread.

Hmmm....maybe it sounds like I'm begging a little, but you've gotta give me something for my persistence...right?

EDIT: I don't have any money to give!!! My wife and 1 yr old son get all of it :(

Yeah, I think so. I think I originally forgot him from the list because he hadn't posted here as much but he's got a spot if he wants it. That'd leave one spot for Birdman/Trasher, or whoever pays us the most money.

sable, what's to dislike?
Hey, I'm here! I sent FMT a PM just yesterday with the 5 teams. :(

I'll also support Birdman. He's helped me in the Rookies league and is always active and on. Also, he (and myself BTW) were in Season 9 for what it's worth.

I'm not sure when FMT will be back so send me a PM, Airbrian, and if you and CJ have no conflicts we can get the picks done now, order be damned.

I also think Birdman should get the spot (unofficially). I wish we had two free spots...but Birdman proved himself in the rookie league and has been waiting a longer time to get in. That's just my take on it. I'm sure we'll need a replacement and that could be Trasher.

3-Man tourney with the winner taking on DCX. The 2 invites will depend on wins, loses, and votes. Odd man out will have first crack at fill in.

Sorry maybe i'm confused but your first sentence is throwing me off. Is airbrian guaranteed one of the last two spots? I didnt see his name on the draft list thats why I ask. I just was under the impression it was three people fighting for the last two spots (airbrian, birdman, and trasher) and lj and cj left to pick in the draft.

Well, Airbrian filled in for Zep the last 4 or 5 games. Think the 1st fill in was LJ, then Chris. That order, then the last spot is a battle?

Yeah isn't it obvious that LJ wants the Bills? I guess we need it to be official..not like the league's going to start today, right? If he does take the Bills, it'll be smooth sailing

You two should just play for the last spot.

That's what we did to see who made it into last season.

Yeah, and I was left out of that playoff even though I posted interest before at least 2 of the players that were included. Even after the season started, I posted interest (before LJ) in taking over the Bills after their owner flaked, but he got that team because he is really a Bills fan (which I don't mind BTW). I just figured I'd be next in line to take over a team. Then ChrisJames and AirBrian were contacted directly to take over for the next two owners that got booted/flaked, so I had no shot at those teams.

WTF do I have to do to get into a GAF league!

You've got my vote!

FMT....let's get this settled so we can get this show on the road. I think we should at least get the schedule up and the preseason games unlocked so everyone can begin messing around with their teams!!!

I think we should wait a couple of weeks as originally planned, no reason to rush into the next season (and I'm playing COD4 and Mass Effect, ladies!)

Yeah yeah yeah....and we have Mario, Rock Band, and Uncharted coming out to round out the AAA titles this month that will be keeping everyone busy.

I just think it would be cool to get through the second season during the actual football season!

It looks like the two power conferences are the NFC South and AFC South.

The South will rise!!!

I'd say the AFC East is better than the AFC South--three guys in that division could make the playoffs. Livewire has LJ and Wellie to deal with, are there any images of Tom Brady crying out in the Internets ether.

NFC West had three playoff teams in it last season!

I wanted the Falcons!!!!

*looks at divisions*

No wait, FMT's right. I wanted the Raiders.


I feel kinda square now, though....

Bills-Patriots AFC Championship. Mark it down!

Hmm would I be wrong in saying that DCX and the BROWNS are the favorites in the AFC north?

I wonder if I shouldn't have scrimmaged him! I might have tipped my hand!

Frank the Tank is going to steamroll this division! After all, I can't pass all the time and risk messing up King Alex's pretty hands!
 
Hmmm...interesting picks and divisions....I definitely like how the top tier players aren't all concentrated on one side of the conference anymore. The road to the playoffs looks alot easier this time around. Hopefully a 12-4 record this time around will actually amount to something other that three straight playoff road games!

Yeah, the wild card should be wide open for you.

...he's not in the NFC North...and neither are you or the Browns...
 
i say again friends: if you have any desire to see any stats left take a look at them within the next couple hours.

the schedule is ready and i need to get to work on entering it because it is time consuming.

i will also be "advancing" to the new season complete with basic MVP awards and so on. GAF awards will follow in the coming week.

p.s. airbrian if you want tips i can teach you how to get to the superbowl with the 49ers. but i can't teach you how to win it :(

Yeah, save the stats FMT, though I already did. There's an option to save stats as CVT files, basically excel files.

I think the AFC North has some potential. Some Madden Oldies and some 2-3 season players.

Anyone want to scrimmage?
 

Lonestar

Actually, I should be automatically given the Chiefs instead, as the AFC West is literally every one of my rivals from years and recent past. Rorschach, True, and DAAAAAAMMITTT :lol :lol

Preseason or regular season?

I don't see the need for more than maybe (at most) a 1 game preseason. Except for one person, we're all returning players. In the past the preseason served as a way for people to get used to the league and entering stats more than anything IMO. If you want to play practice games with your new team, just go on AIM and find someone. That's just my take..I'll
pretend to
agree with whatever FMT decides.

I'm already signed in to the league (since I filled in season 9), so you can assign the Dolphins to me:D ......or am I gonna have to go through a play-in?
