> [@EllisDee](#): > > Too public here; many people’s team names are their real last names. I’ll post the ones I know in the yahoo league forum. I think I have it mostly sorted out but I’m trying to determine which team Esoteric Enigma is and which team Least Original User Name Ever was or is. Also I’m not sure if Jules Andre is signed up or not (this thread indicates he was) and if so what his team name is. Either way I need everyone to sound off in the Yahoo thread (and here if the Dope cooperates) ASAP. ---

I don’t know if I’ll be able to make the draft, but I’m in. Hell, can I do the draft by email or something? If I muddle the situation, feel free to boot me, by the way. Eh. It’s probably best if I sit this one out, really. ---

I was the one who got left out. My team name is Quentin’s JAMmers and my user name is EsotericEnigma. Feel free to boot me / replace me as needed. Hopefully I can get a spot next year when I’m not in the middle of an emergency move. ---

OK, who was team Homer in the Mock Draft then? ---

Hopefully I can get a spot next year when I’m not in the middle of an emergency move. If we can’t figure out who Team Homer was in the Mock draft are you willing to stick around and play the team he drafted? ---

This won’t happen until I get home (around 6 ET). Hm. I suppose I can do that. As minority partner in Hungry Hungry Oprahs (yes, that’s the team’s new name) I demand that chicken wings will be brought in on a near-continual basis! I kid. Mostly. But yeah, if you want to open it up, I’m down for that. ---

Sorry for all the confusion. It looks like everything is mostly sorted out. The actual process of manually assigning the players is fairly smooth. I won’t have interweb again till later, so hopefully we’ll have everything running smoothly by then. ---
