Goat Keepers:
Jerry Jeudy
Puka Nacua
I’ll just be keeping Drake Maye in R12. Akers looks like he’s going to be on the roster bubble.
Pretty sure we went to straight up reverse finishing order and dropped the “consolation bowl winner gets top pick” rule, so draft order would be:
Hermits
Scotty ShadowFax
Frosty’s Post Mahomes
Omnipotents
Spiritus Mundane
Baltimore Weirdos
Carcosa Yellow Kings
Chicago Cardinals
Moridwon (Hamlet)
Big Mack Attack
Fourth & Nineteen
Disgruntled Goats
Nine Inch Neils
Exploding Pancakes
As far as I’m aware, we do still have the rule where the consolation round winner gets the #1 pick…
Keepers:
Malik Nabers
Rashee Rice
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Oops. In that case, picks 1-4 are Chicago Cardinals, Carcosa Yellow Kings, Baltimore Weirdos and Spiritus Mundi. Hermits becomes picks 5 and so on down to Omni at 8.
So I’ve had no luck getting a response from the offline owner or from @The_Mad_Hermit.
I can try to raise interest in the other two fantasy threads, I guess? I would strongly prefer not to go down to 12 owners…
I would try posting an invitation to the other fantasy threads as well as the pick em thread. Give a little sales pitch on the league. If you can’t get 2 SDMBers in the first pass, open it up to off-board friends who may be interested in playing.
As someone who has run various leagues over the years, the SDMB is pretty tapped out in fantasy interest and the board size has been declining, so it’s getting tougher and tougher, though I think we can probably pull 2 people out of somewhere. I could make the recruitment post in the other threads if you’d like.
I’ll keep Worthy and Bowers.
Any word on the last 2 slots?
Sorry, hadn’t really done much about it. I just reached out to Dave again asking for him to get his offline friend on line. I can’t get any response from @The_Mad_Hermit.
I’ll post in some of the other threads in a bit.
Will get a full of keepers out in the next hour or two, as well as setting the draft order.
Missing keepers from @dalej42 and @Omniscient
Draft order:
Chicago Cardinals
Hermits
Scotty ShadowFax
Frosty’s Post Mahomes
Omnipotents
Spiritus Mundane
Baltimore Weirdos
Carcosa Yellow Kings
Big Mack Attack
Moridwon
Fourth & Nineteen
Disgruntled Goats
Nine Inch Neils
Exploding Pancakes
This is based on the winner of the consolation bracket getting pick #1, and the rest in reverse order of record.
Keepers coming a little later when I’m in front of a computer.
Keeping Issac Guerendo, Chase Brown and Sam LaPorta.
So we’re down to one missing owner. No response from Hermits, and no response to my posts asking for interest.
Anyone got a friend who’s available tonight who might be interested? I’m checking with my nephew to see if he’s available. Or I can open it up on Yahoo…
Keepers:
Ladd McConkey
Bucky Irving
Looks like we’ve got a replacement for Hermits (my nephew).
He’s younger than this league, if you want to really feel old.
Does that mean wecan’t swear?
Just a reminder, an owner should have the choice of keepers from whatever team he’s replacing.
