of course snoop might be alittle late thanks to another live in person auction he's doing. said he might need to pull off at a mcdonalds with WiFi to do it. Still have time to push it back 15 minutes,

MRT144 · August 20, 2012, 21:45

you guys want a teamspeak or mumble?

And how does one access this mythical auction site?

I tested my system. I found the mock drafts. I see the Countdown in Draft Central.
But I don't see anything that says "go to draft room" or "begin drafting" or... whatever.

Someone who has done this before, please help. 43 minutes to go.

Kthx.

Jaguar · August 20, 2012, 21:49

I think it will go live a little bit later.

You speak truth.

Sparrowhawk · August 20, 2012, 22:31

is it wrong that if Yahoo had the option to allow interested observers to watch the auction that I would? or does it just show I have no life?

MRT144 · August 21, 2012, 01:03

dude, this was the most ridiculous auction ever.

Guynemer · August 21, 2012, 01:08

It was fan ****ing tastic.

I have the best team. I shant hear otherwise.

Sparrowhawk · August 21, 2012, 01:09

Guynemer · August 21, 2012, 01:10

Oh, I'll get results. You rest assured.

MRT144 · August 21, 2012, 01:15

MRT144 · August 21, 2012, 01:55

Here's a game we can play: name the player on his team who can average 4.0 yards per carry this year.

Sparrowhawk · August 21, 2012, 02:05

If you make it a publicly viewable league (or cut and paste the results if possible) we could all give an opinion

I wouldn't have gone higher on Forte. Maybe a dollar but not in the 50s. I'm happy with getting him where I did, though; he was by a significant margin the best player available at that point, and it was between you and me with nobody else to truly spend the money on. Of course I wish I'd gotten him cheaper, but $47 is fine for me I think at that point in the game. The one thing I really wish is that I'd been slightly more patient on Calvin Johnson; I wasn't going into the 60s for him, but if I'd waited another round or two to nominate him I might've gotten him for the price I was willing to pay.
