Where do you guys typically go for fantasy insight. Like rankings and analysis and stuff?

My main stops for fantasy intel include... FantasyPros.com (for consensus player rankings), Rotoworld.com (for breaking news), Footballguys.com (for their discussion forums) and, prior to the draft itself, FantasyFootballCalculator.com (for their ADP tracking).

I've also gotten into the habit of signing up for the RotoPass.com membership package annually as it bundles premium access at multiple sites together for one affordable rate.

Those resources along with the league site itself. Gotta know what players NFL.com is too high and too low on before we draft.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

When is draft?

[rando14]

Can anyone do this saturday or sunday

 

[Bread]

Can anyone do this saturday or sunday

sunday would be best for me, only time i could do saturday would be after dutchy's bed time

 

[Sanjuro]

I prefer Saturday. I have game tickets on Sunday.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Sunday would work better for me personally as well. So the 6th.

Got a new job and probably have to work Saturday.

Sunday works fine with me. Have another draft that day at 8:30pm Eastern / 5:30pm Pacific but so long as this draft doesn't conflict with that one, I'm good.

Congrats on the new job, btw!

 

[rando14]

Sanjuro when is your game on Sunday? If everyone wants sunday maybe we can arrange it to work better for you

 

[Sanjuro]

1:30, but it's likely I'm going to be somewhere that night prior for the am.

Everyone already agreed ON Saturday, so I just figured it was a done deal.

 

[ActStriker]

I thought we agreed on saturday

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

I would prefer Saturday because Sunday is the day of our Lord.

 

[rando14]

I could do Saturday too, either one is fine for me

 

[Greg]

i d c my bff dutch

 

[UberTag]

So as best as I can tell on the draft front everyone originally settled on drafting Saturday... but then rando14 opened the question up for debate again, Bread was the first to chime in with a "Sunday would be better because I can only draft after Dutch goes to bed" and then the Commish (who originally said Saturday was cool) said that Sunday would now be better for him because of his new job.

Does that about summarize everything? Because I'm seeing a lot of "we all agreed" resistance to drafting on Sunday... and, to be fair, the draft window was tentatively locked in a week ago for Saturday morning.

Yeah, I kinda hoped we could change it because I want to be there when we draft !

But if everybody agrees on saturday, then I'll do it on auto-draft.

The first overall pick is decided on either way.

 

[Bread]

you guys won't even let the commish draft

poor dutchy

I thought we agreed on saturday

some of us weren't even aware this thread existed when you were deciding this!

 

[UberTag]

you guys won't even let the commish draft

poor dutchy

I would love to see the Commish get to live draft with the rest of us. He shouldn't have to be stuck with Gronk and a bunch of auto-drafted scrubs that ESPN picks out for him.

 

[rando14]

Dutch was like the only guy who was actually shirtless on camera for the draft last year, he gained a lot of respect from me for doing that!!

I vote he should be able to draft live *signs treaty

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

Any draft date/time that prevents these shirtlessnanigans, I'm ok with.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

So what we doing?

Sunday has my vote, but I'd understand if Saterday is the preferred day.

Is there any window on Saturday where you would be able to draft? That new job of yours isn't one of those 24-hour shift slave labor dealies, is it?
The natives will likely get quite restless if you try to work in a Sunday draft slot so close to the weekend.
Ideally there's a time slot on Saturday that would work out for both you and Bread.

 

[ActStriker]

If we really had to, I could do Sunday, because I'm not sure what I'm doing on Sunday yet (but there will be something)

But I planned on it being on Saturday.

 

[rando14]

*removes pants

 

[Greg]

fuck it, I'm in too!

 

[Sanjuro]

So...let's draft now?

...or never?

...or Saturday?

...or my birthday?

...or next season?

 

[UberTag]

So what's the plan if we don't hear back from Dutch by tomorrow?
We just start drafting in the thread and give him Gronk #1?

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Sunday has my preference. Around 2 PM eastern or something. But I need to know if you guys can do it or not.

 

[BlackGhost]

I can do that. I'm relatively free this weekend

 

[UberTag]

That slot works for me.

 

[Sanjuro]

I cannot.

 

[UberTag]

I cannot.

Is there an alternative timeslot on Sunday that works for you?

Question for everybody... is there an alternative day that would also work fine for draft purposes (i.e. Labor Day)?

 

[Sanjuro]

I really have no idea. It's possible I can late, but we are probably talking closer to 9PM or later. Even that I'm not positive on.

Labor Day could work too, but I don't know about the Euro

 

[rando14]

I could do Labor Day too

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

I am free Saturday and Sunday for draft fun. Saturday is better.

 

[rando14]

Seems like everyone is free on Saturday except for Dutch.....

 

[Greg]

Dutch is commish
Saturday is Tom Brady

we know how this ends

 

[rando14]

I'm going to play The final countdown while I slowly strip my shirt off before the draft

 

[Bread]

I'm going to play The final countdown while I slowly strip my shirt off before the draft

you'll do this on the google hangout right?

 

[Sanjuro]

[Dutch Gronk]

I'm good with Monday too

 

[Wes]

I'm traveling on Sunday but should be able to get a net connection from 9pm (4pm EST).

Monday I should be ok from 2pm EST. Work is a bit hectic this week so I can't say for sure.
