I IMed Az Greg a while back and told him to post in the thread and he didn't respond..plus he hasn't played a game in ages. People filled in for him in the league. Even if he does somehow return, I don't think he should pick above anyone on this short list, and early in the year he said that if he did return he'd just want the Packers again.

Ok.. Here is the order for non playoff teams. I assume playoff teams will draft after.

1. Livewire - Patriots
2. Truelize - Chargers
3. Striker - Jaguars
4. Fifty - (Waiting for the playoffs to continue...)
5. Bluemax - (On Deck..)
6. Matrix - 5-11 (2 division wins,)
7. Coldblooded 5-11 (3 division wins)
8 Denog 5-11 (3 division wins)
9. Daw 7-9 (2 division wins)
10. DCX 7-9 (3 division wins)
11. Malley 8-8 (2 division wins)
12. dammittmatt 8-8 (3 division wins)
13. Chris James 8-8 (4 division wins)
14. Gunstar - 9-7 (1 division win!)
15. Sableholic - 9-7 (2 division wins)
16. Slo - 9-7 (3 division wins)
17. Konex - 9-7 (5 division wins!)
18. Big Zep

This is just a rough list because I don't know who's returning for sure. If someone above you quits, you'd get bumped up. Check the original post for the official list of teams taken.

I was wrong last time and I'm sure I'll be wrong again, but shouldn't LJ be before daw? Just looking at the playoff standings and the bills are lower then the ravens and the browns. Not trying to be a pain just checking.

We're using division wins to settle the 3+ way tiebreakers. Anyway, most of LJ's losses weren't his own, so really he's lucky to be picking this high, unlike a certain AirBrian.

I'm updating my post above with the first two picks, and FMT will do the same with the original. It's up to Striker now...and then it'll come to me. 2/3 of striker's picks aren't in the playoffs, but 2/2 of mine are so it'll likely be a wait for my pick to be confirmed.

Wow, I didn't realize one of the teams you wanted are the Bears!

AirBrian is going to be mad! :D

Even if the Bears are available, I'm pretty sure I'll pass on them. I get way too emotionally attached when playing with them. It's really not good for my health! Plus, no one kicks to Hester anymore in the Rookies league. Where's your sense of adventure!

LJ doesn't need to be any higher, given how he played with the Bills, so shut up! ;)

Regarding the now ages-old question of cheese, I think it's important to call your opponent out somewhere... if someone has a problem with how I play, I want to know about it (the PA annihilation of Roethlisberger this year, for example)... the few times I've had concerns, I've posted them in the thread, but in this new league, it's mostly been questions about rules rather than a feeling I'd been cheesed.

Speaking of which, I think it's absolutely retarded that you can't see the substitutions that the other guy is doing while the game is paused. In at least one online game I've played someone paused right before a 4th quarter kickoff,obviously trying to substitute and hide where their blue chip returner is going to line up on kickoffs. I waited until he was done and checked his KOR depth chart, but it wasn't updated and I ended up kicking to his stud. Kinda dumb.

Question about substitutions. Bills use an H-Back instead of a traditional Full Back, so I only have one player labeled as a FB. Bills are starting Schouman as an H-Back right now but he's labeled as a TE, however he's second on the depth chart as a FB. Can I start him as an FB, or is that against the rules? He basically plays FB right now, EA just has him listed as TE.

Everybody's running to the AFC. Junior Varsity confirmed.

Sounds legit to me. Jimmy Kleinsasser is an H-Back, and I started him at full back some games and TE others, depending on the opponent.

I lined Gates up at WR, I don't see why this would be a problem.

Colts don't really run I, so for the most part neither did I, Utecht was listed as a FB, but he's their back-up TE, so I subbed him into that slot at the beginning of games

Aren't they reserved for Super Bowl runner up?

Nah I think they are reserved for some newcomer since they go to the bottom of the list.

Good to hear!

FMT,

Trasher is a TJ and a good guy to play with. I fully support him coming on board.

I guess that answers my question....new guys (like myself) will pick after the playoff teams. That sucks, but I guess I'll have to deal with it.

I'm picking Jacksonville Jaguars.

Et tu, Striker.

If I win with the Giants I am keeping them now.

Also, I thought "newcomers" got to the bottom of the list? Why is Airbrian picking so high? Are we giving him dispensation because he, LJ, and ChrisJames filled in for us?

Seconding Wellie's question, fill-ins should get shuffled (sorry LJ :( ) to the bottom, but ahead of new joinees (and Dolphins coaches).
