Fellas,
It seems that we may be close to having an NFL season! I am knocking on wood as we speak! With the season coming, regardless of the labor situation, we need to have a draft.
I will be making the annual draft pick video very soon! I realize that the mock drafts are live and some owners want to know their draft position so they can make strategic plans.
A date for the draft is going to be decided very soon. I need to talk to our out of Michigan owners to make sure everyone will be available at a date chosen.
I have discussed the draft format issue with many owners. Of course, best case scenario would be to have all of us in a room with beer and strippers, but I don't think that we are going to pull that off. I think the most effective and league friendly way to handle the draft is to have the mothership at ESPN handle the draft and we can just sign in and draft. There will be a live taunting mechanism there, plus any additional taunting that we can bring in using Skype or other avenues.
We need a new team owner! The people who have shown interest have flaked out. I am glad because we don't want flakes...we are flaky enough as we stand. If you have any suggestions of new owners please contact your friendly neighborhood commish and I will run it in front of the owners. Please choose people who can take a fucking joke and who will be willing to put the time in...other than that, I will trust your discretion.
Commish de la Xplodey
ps. I am becoming enamored with Google Plus. If any of you would like an invitation to see what a real social network looks like, hit me...I have some available. I can see a day when we run all of our league through it, no need for a blog. Facebook, Twitter and Skype all put together in one place. Check it out if you would like. Hit me back if you are interested.
