    How's September 2nd sound for Draft date?   

     

    Tagging everyone here cause Idk who will be in.  No response from onebad150, he's not been on site for almost a year. If I can't get confirmation from him either through here or the direct email, then crazycolt will have his spot. Lucky last logged in on the 15th. 

     

    Did anyone have any changes they wanted to put up for vote?

    There was also a rumor started by a disreputable former Colts blogger back in 2018. He claimed before the draft that Manning would be joining the team as President of Football Ops (or some similar title), Ballard would report to him, it was basically a done deal, and would be announced some time after the draft. None of that proved to be true.

     

    I think there was a lot of Manning/Colts stuff being made up back then. Even Manning/Broncos stuff. There was a rumor a while back that Manning was buying a minority stake in the Broncos as well. But every time anyone asks Manning whether he wants to join a team in an official capacity, he shrugs it off. So I think some of this stuff is just being imagined by curious people on the Internet.

    This is probably it.  Like I mentioned,  I never saw if any of it was true, just remember a comment about it. 

  3. This brings to mind when supposedly manning wanted to be a part owner in order to join the management shortly after retiring.  Now I never really saw how true this was, but the Irsays said no and supposedly their counter offer was essentially insulting. 

     

    So maybe there is some behind the scenes issues.

    We finally have a 1st round rookie QB again…that’s enough for me for right now lol

    Ya, but that doesn't really mean anything. Round doesn't equate to success. 

     

    I'm just concerned we get a guy who's started only one season and had a losing record, and he decides to ever the draft because??? Because the market is good so it's smart for him knowing teams are desperate right now? If it was a stacked draft, I doubt this kid enters.  Good for him timing the market, but I don't think he's experienced enough and ready.

  5. So tricky situation right now because if the Bengals/Bills game.  I am screenshotting the current scores and will look at calculating the stats for the remainder games that had players that were supposed to play in that game. Once it is played. 

     

    In think ESPN is saying since it won't play this week,  that the season is over.

    Whew,  talk about falling off at the end...

     

    But now that we're at the end of the season, I want to thank everyone for participating.  It's been fun for me, and I appreciate the discussions we had here.  

     

    You guys and the competitiveness of this league has always made it the best I've been in. 

     

    As always,  I want to see if there are any rules changes that we want to look in to for next year.  I believe there was a mention of doing half-point PPR over full,  so that is something I will take a vote on for next year.  

     

    Any ideas for anything else; keeper? Super-flex? Anything at all?

     

    Lastly I want to give a special thanks to @Btown_Colt for his participation all these years.  You will be missed.

    I'm assuming you lost this week? I won, but lost Taylor for the year (most likely), so I'll be at a major disadvantage this week.

    Oh i lost alright, to my wife lol.

     

    She snuck in and then i had a cruddy game. Herbet did nothing, TE did nothing, Olave did nothing, and she had lawrence throw 4 TDs in the last 5 minutes of the game, at least if felt like it. 

     

    So lucky, and now i wont here the end of it.

     

    I knew I needed that bye, and I was so close to having it, thanks a lot James Conner. 

  8. @Lucky Colts Fan @Btown_Colt @Jared Cisneros @w87r @WarGhost21 @onebad150 @buccolts

    That's the end of the regular season and some seed changes right at the end.  

    Perceived Perception was close to dropping to third, but James Connor blew up that last game to put him over the top, while Scranton Stranglers jumped over Screaming Eagles who lost what was projected a significant win. 

     

    It's Yoshi vs Trueblood and Pierce-ing vs Stranglers for next week. This should be good. 

     

    Hope everyone's team stays healthy through the championship and good luck. 

     

    Additionally thinking ahead for next year.  What changes do you want to implement?

    Half-point PPR maybe? Any other ideas?

    I saw the proposal and raised an eyebrow at the players involved, but figured both parties were acting in their own interest.

    Now, knowing the parties involved, I probably would have vetoed it, but it's done, and no money involved, so I'll be more attentive next time.

     

    To the format? Yahoo, ESPN, NFL in that order.

    THAT having no working experience with any other formats.

     

     

    Okay, if I include @Lucky Colts Fan and @Btown_Colt soft veto's, that gives 5.  I will work to change the rosters back this week and figure out something better. 

     

    Which looking at the tool and the process. This is going to be a one by one drop and add process.  So you might see a lot of activity.

    Just now became aware of it, but I don’t like the trade.

     

    And I’m sorry I haven’t stayed up to date on everything in this league, but this is my only league that is through ESPN… not a fan of their app or site, just not as user-friendly as my other leagues on the NFL app and site.

    I actually had a league through the NFL App, and I couldnt stand it.  Its been a few years, so maybe they got better, but wasn't a fan.

    No problem, and I wasn’t necessarily saying I think it should be vetoed.
     

    There is a process already in place for this and it passed. 

     

    The only reason I responded, is because it was brought here & I was tagged in the post. I was simply trying to convey why others take issue with the trade. 
     

    I understand she “could” use them, or they might not have a good match up and sit the bench…AE is a set and forget RB.

     

    Her RB position took a major hit for no reason, you just needed a TE right? Yet Her TE position also took a hit. So where did she benefit from this trade, like at all? Because she got a WR she didn’t need? 
     

    Doesn’t pass the smell test man, that’s all I’m saying.

     

    That's fair. The only thing I can say is because I have been burnt in the past when considering SoS, I weigh that probably more heavily than most others.  

     

    I know you're not veto'ing it and there's a process, but many people don't pay attention to it,  and it was over Thanksgiving.  Which I didn't think about,  so I'm doing the vote again for fairness and will respect the vote of the league. 

     

    I do truly feel bad that others consider this 'shady.' So I want to make sure to do it right. I do think that if this was anyone else the trade went through with, it wouldn't be a much of an issue and nor would we be considering a re-vote. But because of the perception of the people involved,  I know it is more scrutinized.  And it's fair to do so.

  12. From Team Hulce:

     

    I don’t think the trade is very egregious but it’s not close I’m terms of value. You get the best player overall, you upgrade at te, the only thing she gets out of it is and extra wr who isn’t necessarily an upgrade, just another body.

     

    I think people would be less mad at walker. And I know you use sos but I can promise 90 percent of the league isn’t looking at that they are just looking at the players.

    Come on man. There is a reason you’ve been trying to trade the players you traded, and there is a reason no one else did…except your wife. This isn’t the first time it’s happened either.

     

    I’ve already decided I wasn’t playing this league next year, prior to this, so it’s whatever to me. 
     

    But we’ve been through this before…adding a bunch of players she can’t utilize on a weekly basis, just to make the trade seem fair, doesn’t make it fair.

    Ok. 

     

    That's 3. I made trades before and notified and you guys didn't have an issue prior.  When I did make trades,  it did not work out in my favor any ways, and the numbers showed it because of the scores. That was another trade where I considered  SoS.

     

    Both pierce and olave can be used on a weekly basis,  as I have been.  

     

    I only offered one other person a trade and that was @w87rand he let it die instead of denying or countering.

     

    I appreciate your input.

    I'll veto it. That's a pretty lopsided trade IMO.

    Fair enough, that's 2.

     

    Just for conversation then,  under what valuation do you determine it one-sided and what would make it less lopsided? 

     

    I'll like to take into account projected points and look at remaining strength of schedule. I use trade analyzers. Imo she did downgrade in RB, but gave her a decent back with a decent SoS and gave her the second best WR on her team that has a top 5 SoS for the remainder of the season.  

  15. @w87r

     

    I tried trading with you before I submitted a trade with her.  

     

    I could not find another team with a TE that I wanted and I could provide a fair mix trade in return.  There was no place for me to improve other than you or her.  

     

    All trade analyzers that I looked said it was an even trade or more on her side.  Take into account the fact that ekeler has the league worst remaining strength of schedule,  there's no guarantee he will perform as he has been.  

     

    Everyone had a chance to vote.  There are 8 other members in the league who could have voted with you and didn't.  

     

    If you think 5 is too much to veto a trade,  we can change that next year. I'm sorry you feel the way you do.
