OK, now that you're done ripping on the team and its former owner, do you have anything positive to say? |

Lighten up Jamie, he was just playing around. Geez, I know Jimmyc was your friend, but we wouldn't even be looking for a new if he was not such a deadbeat participant.

I think my question is valid. This thread is giving him a chance to introduce himself and show us what he brings to the table, and he used his first post to rip the team, and yes, my friend. So far I'm not impressed.

Jamo,... this is what's got you all bent out of shape...

Come on! Is there even any "trash talk" there? He's just putting in context what is surely going to be a restoration effort.
Look, Jimmy went out the wrong way, Jamie. Steelkings was only refering to what Jimmy himself boldly wrote. The fact that steelkings could refer to that quote means that he took the time to sift through the stuff and find it, which impresses me a little bit. Jimmy made himself a target. If he did not go out the way he did and make such a (needlessly) bold claim in the process, steelkings wouldn't have had anything to refer to. That's the bottom line.
Moving right along,...
Travis Cooper, gridiron_legends, sent me a very sincere thank you message for the invite we extended to him, but has pulled himself from the running based on concerns about how much he'd be able to commit given his schedule over the next year. So, we are officially down to four candidates...

Great follow-up post, sk!

(Rather meaningless point of clarification (to the task at hand),...) Not really, sk,... he, for all intents and purposes, unfortunately burnt his bridge with me.
In any event,... moving right along... to stuff that matters in the here and now... This is not about what Jimmy did then. It's about what our candidates do and don't do now.
...
Quote:| I probably could research this stuff if need be. |

Most of what you ask here, sk, would be difficult to research, if even possible, so I'll lend you a hand...
Quote:
It will be sometime within a week or so of the draft, perhaps (but not likely) not until the day of if we decide to fall in suit with the "mother league" this year.
Quote:
It's conducted here on the GBRFL2 board over the period of about (ideally no more than) a week or so.
Quote:
Still TBA... It'll be sometime between late July and late August. Flexibility is definitely a boon here.
Quote:| Do you load the draft like the NBA? |
|
I'm not exactly sure what that means... The bottom five teams are in the lottery. I or some other "mother league" representative (I think it was DirkDiggler last year) will do the drawing. The 10th place team (the available one) gets 5 cards in the hat; 9th - 4; 8th - 3; 7th - 2; 6th - 1, and the top five teams then simply pick in reverse order of finish.
Quote:| It would go a long way in helping heal this team if it had one of the first 2 picks. |
|
As per the above. It's not guaranteed, but VERY likely. Do remember, though, that every team has 12 (tradable) protection spots, so 120 players will be protected. The draft is, by and large, a rookie draft. There won't be all too many high, high quality veterans available.
Quote:| Is it a snake draft? it would also help if it wasn't. |
|
The good news,... it isn't. It's the same order every round, i.e., if you get the first pick, you have the first pick in every round, i.e. picks 1, 11, 21, 31, etc., etc.
Great questions, sk!

I do want to announce that I received a very gracious e-mail from Kevin Anderson, Oakland4life. He commits heavily to the leagues he's in, which means he would have been a great owner in the GBRFL2, but he is already in two, both of which are very important to him. I can empathize. That's enough (if you really care). In that light, I am happy he has decided to graciously step aside. He did indicate what an honor it was to even be considered, and I surely appreciate that. ... Three now remain in the running.

Okay, we are officially down to two candidates, the two who have posted. I received a nice e-mail from Rick, rickgpin, thanking us for the opportunity but indicating that it would probably be better that he step aside. I truly appreciate his gratitude, and while it's a bummer that he's decided to take his hat out of the ring, I appreciate his forthrightness in doing so.
So,... sk, MC,... it's going to be one of you!!!  "Ding! Ding!"

Nice, MC...
...
Okay... I've got a two-part question for yous, sk, MC. Part one now... Part two later... The question for now is...
Assuming you guys are playing in other leagues, perhaps "hometown" leagues, where will this one rank in importance for you?
