I get that you'd obviously rather live draft, but if it comes to being in the league or not being in the league, you would still get to manage the hand that you were dealt, and you still get the fun of the camaraderie of it all. It's not like we are playing for a big entry fee! If we were, then I'd totally get it, you'd need to draft your own team, as opposed to wanting to.
I should mention that this has happened to me once in my life, in over 20 years of mostly fantasy football and baseball, one time I simply could not do a draft live, I couldn't get out of it and the time had been set and couldn't be moved, so I had to let the computer do the autodraft for me. It was a small entry fee so I didn't really care. The team I got didn't suck, actually, though obviously certain repetitive picks get made that you would never make. I think that was a baseball roto league and I think I ended up in 2nd or 3rd that year (I know I didn't win). |

We are watching it where I am as well, but that'll be later on in the week after it passes through Florida. Sending positive vibes your way that you dodge it all together! |

woke up this morning, and now it has slowed down and projected to make landfall as a major storm (Cat. 3) basically right at the time of the draft a little south of me. Keeps me on the clean side of the storm, but likely in the strongest quadrant. It is crazy how these storms are zero sum....one mans luck sucks for another....I am hoping it comes in more to the South (sorry South Florida). A few days ago, PR and DR was supposed to get hit which likely would have significantly broke up the storm, but it turned and stayed out over water which was good for them, bad for Florida. |

if I can't draft, you guys are free to donate my entry fee to another person if you can grab someone that late. I should have a solid idea when we learn the draft order. |

Thanks for the #1 pick! |

I have completely revamped my front office and am even doing mock drafts this year. I laugh at the thought that I could be controlled by dealing me the awful 6th pick.
Who is finishing 2nd this year? _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

I got the fifth pick last night in a draft and wasn't too happy about it, I must say. Perhaps #6 will suit you better than #5 suited me last night. |

I just glanced at top player rankings about 15 minutes ago for the 1st time this year. My system is up here (I am pointing to my head).....
