  1. Man Achilles injuries are the worst. Hope it's not that Ekeler.
  2. Thanks @NoName, heading there in a few weeks with some friends. I have heard Uber is not reliable. Do you have any recs on a ride share or driving service? The place we are staying is about ten minutes outside of town.
  3. You're right. Weird. I guess we have 13 teams and you own two of them. Congrats! Not too worried about people paying, it will happen.
  4. We have 5 unpaid, I just sent a reminder out. @Zepol87 giving it another week before I come calling for Hurts
  5. Puppy genes never leaving, apparently. This is how we walk. PXL_20250905_221557023.mp4
  6. Watched the last 20 minutes of Catfish again. Not spoilering the first part but I will the second. Sophie's mom is a MILF
  7. I still can't get over the fact that someone, multiple people maybe even, got paid to come up with the idea for an ad campaign where someone really REALLY wants to buy their insurance but they can't because they're not a veteran. And that that someone should be Rob Gronkowski.
  8. Ok onto the next thing. Has anybody done non continuous FAB on ESPN before? In my CBS auction league, non rostered players lock as soon as their games start. Bids are processed on Wednesday night/Thursday early AM, and free agent adds are open first come, first serve as soon as those bids are processed and free agents are awarded to the high bidders. That was my intent here. I did some googling and I think it's pretty similar here, but it doesn't let me select a day, only a waiver period (currently set to one day). I am reading that the waiver period applies not only after the last game of the week, but also after the draft and to any player who is dropped. So from what I can tell, free agent bids should process tonight and then free agents will be first come first serve provided their game hasn't already started. Then, players will be locked and the bid process would run again on Wednesday (no idea what time). I'm reading that if I set the waiver period to 2 days, bids would process on Thursday instead of Wednesday. Anyone know for sure? Any opinions on Wednesday vs Thursday? I'm definitely going to leave it to one day for at least the next couple days so people can do open adds and drops for Week 1 after the bids (maybe) run tonight. But I could change it on Sunday or Monday to 2 days if Thursday is a better day.
  9. Did an email go out? I figured I would get one, as well, but I didn't.
  10. I got league safe figured out and sent out the invites. I think. Check emails. If not here is the link. I paid with venmo and there was a $4.60 convenience fee fyi. https://www.leaguesafe.com/join/4363278

  12. Thanks all, smooth draft. I'm going to try to get the league safe thing going (there's no fee) and I'll get those out in the next day or two. Happy we could make this come together.
  13. Yeah I hate this, last thing I wanted because of optics. I'm in another league with a buddy where the commissioner has given himself the #1 pick 3 years in a row (without a recording of drawing the order). I told my buddy I've been playing FF for 25 years and never once gotten the top overall pick. Now I'm the commissioner with a bunch of randoms who don't know me, and of course I get it. I think pick 4/5 is the sweet spot, but I will be taking Chase at 1.1.
  14. 12. Quantum Leap 11. Tiki Time 10. Derka gandorf Devin's team 9. IT's buddy Cheers Beers 8. El guapo 7. Tokamak 6. Ryan and Jason 5. Jack Straw 4. Harold 3. Zepol 2. IT Horn 1. Baboon 🙄 PXL_20250903_211307131.mp4
  15. Y'all she gave me the first pick. If you feel this is shady I can redo it. Promise this was the first draw. I don't even want the first pick. Video uploading...
  16. You are right and considering that person is going to be me, I think I will look into league safe tonight. I am getting pulled into a 5:30 ET meeting. I'm picking my daughter up at 5 from cheer and I will have her draw the draft order and I'll post it after my call. All teams have accepted invites.
  17. Since we have 12, I think pot should be $800, $300 and money back for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. We good with that? Do you guys want to do League Safe or is everyone comfortable with settling up after the season?
  18. Invites are out. Need to accept before the draft. Only non standard things here (ESPN PPR) are I elected to use FAAB instead of open waivers. Budget is 100, minimum bid is 0. Waiver period is 1 day. And we have the 2 flex starters, 6 deep bench, 1 IR, no positional limits on how you fill out your roster.
  19. Neph says he is in and is cool paying the full fee himself. We got 12! Going to set up the league now.
  20. Here is a link with breakdowns of the ESPN scoring, non ppr and ppr. https://support.espn.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003914032-Scoring-Formats .
  21. When you go to set the league up, the very first thing you have to set is the number of teams. I'm still hoping we can get a 12th. But we will use ESPN standard scoring for a ppr league. I believe it's 6 point TDs, 4 pt passing TDs etc.
  22. Alright, things looking good. We are confirmed at 10, @elguapo is in if necessary at 11, and I already have a message out to my nephew about 12. I'll follow the same timeline unless I get a confirmation from my nephew or someone on surly that they will take team #12. If or when that happens I'll set the league up as and get invites out as an as I can.
  23. Ok, here is my plan. Still hoping of course I can get a reply from Jack and get his and his buddy's info. Either way, hope 1 is to get one more from the board to join and then we have 10 including @elguapo whether we hear from Jack or not. If that doesn't happen by late morning-ish, I think I can talk my nephew into taking a spot if I help fund his team (I would not collude, I ain't about that). OR @Derka @henrygandorf any interest in splitting up and each taking a team? If not to both of those, I'll see if I can farm someone off of the rivals MSU board. In a perfect world we get Jack and his buddy in, plus elguapo and another via one of the methods above. Either way by tomorrow, let's say 6 pm ET/5 CT, I'm going to set the league up and send out invites. I want to give as much time as possible to get other owners in. I will also draw teams from a hat for draft order, nod to Mama Derka. I would absolutely love for her to do it if we knew who the teams were lol. I will have my daughter do it, I'll record it and post it here and I think ESPN also will send an email out. She's 12 so don't get excited. The draft will be at 10:30 ET tomorrow night. Feel free to ask anyone you think might or might not be interested for this last spot to even us out.
