Welcome, friend. Look out everyone, we've got a hall-of-fame owner joining our ranks. Of course, he jumped into my conference and slid in right in front of me in the draft... :) Good to see you Smirt! Good luck to you. Watch out for Atlanta and Miami, the MFN 2 juggernauts (and of course there's LAA in the AFC West) and many other classy and competent owners.

Smirt shocked the league front offices by selecting a 54 default rated QB at #23 overall. But, look closer... he's now a WR and I wouldn't doubt he ends up in the top 10 for receiving yards/TDs in the coming season. There's a method to his madness, but dang it, I can't figure it out.

Happy draft day, all!

Speed kills and Smirt takes that to the extreme.

Ready for the challenge Smirt!

Thank you, Eli. If the player hits with the volatility he's a dominant RB #1. If he doesn't hit and goes sideways he's a back end CB #4/CB #5. I needed speed on the field. A 70 speed something or other wasn't going to help me with this team. Next pick I'll open up to all considerations. Can't have ya'll honed in on me!

I know you're up to the challenge, Wart. Much better attitude than peeps 'banishing me to ****.' Heh.

One question: Punt Blocking?

Gentleman's Agreement league wide to not do it or is it open season?

With a more put together team my selection would have been: Jimmie Cassidy - WR.

WR only, no ball carry - rushing and you take the fumble risk as a strict receiver only running routes.

Never really been discussed here. But no one has taken advantage of anyone else that I am aware of. Given this is a public league, which is a starting point for new owners, I think it would be best to keep all the excessive cheats out of the league to help owners learn and enjoy the game without getting driven away out of frustration.

Yeah, punt blocks ****. I'll make the punt return screen a 100% pass blocking/protection one with 0% pressure.

All the things discussed this is the one and only true game decider/ruin aspect to be deployed. It lives in its own world outside anything else within the confines of a singular game and if you're hit with it - 90% chance you lose the game.
