Poly IDP 2012 Draft Thread: No one can replace Ed Hochuli

[Al B. Sure!]

Why does everyone want the random handcuff? Am I missing something here? I don't have Bush graded very highly in terms of opportunity...

Michael Bush is an RB1 in a perpetual backup role. Forte isn't exactly injury-prone but when you look at injury-prone or questionable starters elsewhere, their backups are no where near as talented or proven as Bush.

What other RBs are out there?

[Koyaanisqatsi]

actually... my list had Michael Bush RB CHI

can I trade him for Fletch?

eh, handcuff

There's still time if you have another replacement.

[Jaguar]

I do have some specific answers to that question, but it would be poor form to share them.

[-Jrabbit]

Hey Ben, please take to heart your own advice to Sparrowhawk. This thread was here for weeks, there were rules discussions, and never once did you bring this up.

Tell me, do you read the instructions on your shampoo bottle before every shower? Because that's about as complex as this is.

Go to Yahoo, list All Defensive Players. Sort by Total Points.
The highest available guy on that list is the BAPAY, unless the team doesn't have room for him as a starter. If not, continue down the list.

Lather.
Rinse.
Repeat.

As others have noted, we've been through it before; it's been explained. Any halfway intelligent human would simply learn from his mistakes and start doing it right. You seem incapable of this. It seems clear that you are determined to screw up BAPAYs repeatedly just to assert your writing nazism. It's either small minded and spiteful, or perhaps OCD. If the latter, I hope you're seeing a professional about it.

Your insistence on making this an issue (whether by being repeatedly idiotic or by deliberately manufacturing errors), is making the draft less enjoyable for a significant number of managers.

I know that, right now as you read this, you have an overwhelming impulse to post another variation of "but my way is better!" I believe I speak for most others hear when I say: Do us all a favor and resist that impulse.

I come to IDP draft for the lulz and it provides every year

[Ben Kenobi]

Christ, ownership issues.

[Berzerker]

There's still time if you have another replacement.

thx, but its a good bapay

and i feel bad about actually deserving one

[-Jrabbit]

Christ, ownership issues.

Nope, it's Koyaa's league and what he says goes. But I call them like I see them.

Lord's name in vain much?

[Ben Kenobi]

and i feel bad about actually deserving one

Why on earth would you? You left a list, all your players got picked. Happens.

[MRT144]

Navorro Bowman is the best name ever

[Ben Kenobi]

But I call them like I see them.

Yes, JR.

I've been planning this from day one. I orchestrated your removal as IDP commissioner. I am systematically removing all traces of everything you ever contributed from this league just so that I can say that I can.

It's the most important thing in my life to ensure that yes, in fact, that all of Apolyton knows that I am the better writer, and that I will write better than you could ever hope to accomplish.

Yes, JR. I'm such a brilliant individual and I'm glad you noticed that I'm the head of the anti-JR conspiracy here.

No, it wasn't just a honest mistake. No, it wasn't just the fact that yes, I sometimes do make mistakes and that I'm blind and I make habitual ones. No, I don't sometimes get frustrated when I screw up and get annoyed at things that I don't understand correctly, and no, I don't have the impulse to fix things that I see as wrong, when I see them rather than plan ahead of time and do them in a more constructive fashion.

Congratulations JR. Yes, you've seen me as I truly am, in a way that nobody else here ever will or since. I commend you for your perspicacity.

I released my entire draft board to some of the more active players + snoopy. It's just fluff picks from here on; Moore was the last pick I wanted to keep under wraps. It should now be easy to update my picks while I am not online.

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Can we please get back to what the best pick of the entire draft is? Is it my seventh round pick, or my eleventh? I liked that argument much better.

(of course, this will only make the inevitable collapse all the more tragic.)

[Ben Kenobi]

Jag should have my draft board as well. Thanks Jag!
