tsk tsk, you're missing the power I wield over my Bay Area friend at the moment... he needs to decide on LT before I do on Shuan, thus he could get stuck with both huge contracts, or saddled with neither!

Honestly, at 2900, I think I'll be hanging on to Mr. TD (at that number kinda crazy not to),

[Nittany Dodgers]

Honestly, schmonestly. You'll not fooling us, you know.

You think I'm kidding? $2900 fror a top 2 RB is a bargain IMO... I also prefer 3 top RB's. Gore and a healthy Shaun... with a lower salaried MJD backing them up, I'll take that!

[Preds]

Unfortunately, I miss out on the selling drama for my boy Shaun tonight.

I'm heading out for the night. Gotta pickup the wife and kids and head down to the arena for Game 1 of the 2007 NHL Playoffs Eastern Conference Sem-Finals!

GO SABRES!

I'm not saying anything you've said specifically is garbage, just that you can't really expect us to believe anything you say when you go 50/50 truth/garbage.

Bottom line, is that it doesn't matter because I dont have the money to bid up any of these guys so it doesn't matter at this point what is truth and what is fiction.

Agreed, however would you expect anything less from anyone here? This is the time of year to keep everyone guessing!

I'm just being more open about it this year to have some fun and liven things up.

But you do more BS'ing during this time of year than anyone else. I bet you are a very good Hold Em player....always talking, no one really knowing when you are BS'ing or not....although, not having met you personally, I think you would have a hard time hiding your emotions...bad tell...

:Bla :BS :huh :liar :Stupid :YesMaster :idiot :tool

Keep 'em guessing Mike... I wish I had enough $$$ to bid Alex up, but I still have other worries.. I love the smack though.

Have fun at the game tonight Mike... Go Sabres..
Late.

[Amish]

Time to make the plunge and get into the action!

The Rakes!

[Preds]

Sabres 5 Rangers 2.

Sabres Lead the series 1-0! WOOT!

And my boy Shaun sells at a bargain price, 500 less then last year. Mmm, it's been a good day.

[Flaxwless]

What crap.... I thought someone would bid on SA... I mean 2900... nto even a pitty 50 cb bump!

I hate you all.

[The Knights of Ni]

I would have bumped Alexander but I had the bid on LT.

Alexander sold too cheap, I expected him to go for about 3200, which would have led to me parting ways. At 2900, I have to seriously consider keeping him.

[Popes]

I'm not in a position to bid on any RBs at this point, so nothing I could do - I thought he should probably go for more than that, too. That, and I'm still smarting from my school league last year (serpentine draft) where I had the #1 pick and took Alexander instead of LT :idiot

[Preds]

Well, Gates is finally in a price range he deserves to be in. Sorry for the late bid Smitty, but as you know, I've been debating this bid for the last 24 hours, and finally bit the bullet.

Through clenched teeth...........No problem Mike

.. THAT'S why I PM'd you earlier. I wanted to avoid pissing you off!

[smsmith40]

Don't worry Mike, I can handle it.

Do you mean this year as compared to previous seasons, or just based on your most recent 20cb bump?

I still think he went too cheap last year... Smitty had him in the 1500's, which is where he belongs IMO. My 20cb bump is only because I want him, not because I think it put him at his value. I'm hoping Smitty's tapped out on his max already, and for Jake to decline.

[smsmith40]

We'll see how I feel. I'll be in the check out queue at Heathrow at deadline time, you never know what kind of reckless mood I'll be in.

OK. I can agree with that. I just initially read it as Gates was undervalued at 1515, but your 20cbs put him right where he belonged. I just wanted to make sure I had that wrong.

[Nittany Dodgers]

OK, too much checking the board and not enough action. Everytime I come here, there are 2-3 people here as well and NOTHINGS GOING ON!

[Popes]

There's no action because the people at the front of the "match/decline" domino chain won't make a decision! We now have a giant chain going where all the most active bidders have money locked up and can't do anything else until they know what happens with the person in front of them. As I see it, we're all waiting on the Insects and maybe Opihi.

Once the Insects decide on LT, Preds can decide on Alexander, maybe giving them enough info to make a Harrison decision. However, Preds probably won't make a Harrison decision until they see what happens with Holt. I can't do anything until I see what happens with Harrison. Opihi may well be waiting to see what happens with Stallworth tonight to make a Holt decision.

The ball is also in Opihi's court because he can start the WR chain falling in his preferred direction. If he keeps Holt, Preds probably keep Harrison, and probably I keep Stallworth tonight. If Opihi lets Holt go, Pred probably let Harrison go, and I probably let Stallworth go. A word of warning to Opihi: your power to move things the way you want ends at 12:10am (Eastern) tonight! I'm not sitting around for 72 hours once my guy is up. I plan to make a decision on Stallworth right when he ends, pushing the dominoes in MY preferred direction ;)

Insects and Opihi, let's git r done! This 72 hour thing is driving me nuts.

:taz <-- me checking the website every 15 minutes and finding no action

[Popes]

BTW, I saw that our Gopher boy Vanek ROCKED THE HOUSE for Buffalo last night. Minnesota says "You're welcome".

[Flaxwless]

Ha well that's what you bastards get by sticking me with Shuan Alexander!

Yup, we LOVE Tommy here. My 11yo is getting his 2nd jersey (a white buffaslug (as we so affectionately call the POS new logo) jersey) lettered with Vanek (his other is a vintage "Afinogenov" jersey).
