BLU-RAY

OK, so, of: GrozengBlu RayBronnJaceJaxomTywinManholeScuba SteveRaceLord Dracarys The folks who are bolded have said that they are in. That leaves: @Jaxom 1974, @Lionel Messi 42, @Scuba Steve... and Manhole E. Jax, Race, Steve, if you're in, sound off! Manhole - I rarely come on the board these days, so not 100% up to date, but I thought I saw some mention in one of the other threads that he was banned? I believe he's still playing FF in some of the board leagues that WJ is running. Anyone (@Jace, Basilissa) have thoughts on how to handle that? If we end up having any gaps, I'd propose we offer @Analu a team - that's Mahaka of old, and I saw in the main thread he was looking for one; I know he played in a previous iteration of this thing. But let's give Jax/Race/Steve some time, and figure out what's up with Manhole.

@grozeng Do you need help running this one this year? Idk if I will have time in-season, but let me know if you need anything in the lead up.

I'm in on this one.

Unclear, work is downtown Palo Alto, so deciding between the Peninsula and living near the Caltrain in SF

I'm the only other idiot who's still awake when these #PAC12AfterDark games are on, so I'm the only other guy who's heard of half the Bears BTW, speaking of which - Bronner, you still in SF these days? I'm moving back to the Bay next weekend.

Gonna have Henderson be a 1year deal, since I'll have to drop him for a D or Kicker. Everything else is as I stated upthread.

Anyone want to trade for a QB in this league? I have several, and would like to make a 2-for-1 trade or two so I can go get a DST and kicker.

I was not and they did not - I was trying at ~noon EST yesterday to pick them up, but it would only let me submit a Waiver bid to be processed today (Monday, Sept 11). ...still gonna beat you, though :-P

Incoming Contracts: Michael Crabtree - 8 (1 years)Larry Fitzgerald - 8 (2 years)DeSean Jackson - 7 (2 years)Josh Doctson - 5 (2 years)Jared Goff - 4 (3 years)Terrance West - 3 (2 years)Ty Montgomery - 1 (2 years)Trevor Simien - 1 (3 years) New Contracts: Julio Jones - 39 (2 years) Ben Roethlisberger - 17 (1 year) Mike Glennon - 1 (1 year) Curtis Samuel - 5 (3 years) Andrew Luck - 23 (3 years) OJ Howard - 4 (3 years) Ted Ginn Jr - 2 (1 year) Marlon Mack - 7 (2 years) Carlos Henderson - 2 (1 year) Mike Williams - 2 (4 years) Wendell Smallwood - 3 (2 years) Marshawn Lynch - 18 (1 year) Mitchell Trubisky - 10 (3 years) Deonta Foreman - 3 (3 years) If we were to have an IR slot, I'd take Carlos Henderson at 4 years and stick him there, but I gotta add a defense and a kicker... ETA - as mentioned above, if FAs are closed right now (which, it's not letting me pick up a K, only make a waiver bid for tomorrow), I want Henderson at 4 years for $2 and I guess I just punt week 1

Why are FAs not available in this league? I thought you could always add/drop players until KO Sunday? ETA - if we can't add players, I'm gonna be running no K or DST week 1, I guess, and I want to change Carlos Henderson from 1 year to 4 years, as the only reason he's 1 year is to drop him for a K or DST this week.

I'm pro adding IR slots, but against making changes post-draft, so agree w/ Bronn. Though it'd help me a lot if we added one this year :-P

Explain what an IR spot does? Sorry.

Oh, btw, are we counting week 1? If so, do Pats/Chiefs just not count, or do we count points earned tonight?

No, years are once you get the player. You bid on them in straight dollars, and once it's over, say you have Brandon Marshall for $7, you can have him at that price for 1, 2, 3, or 4 years. Hypothetically. IDK if someone already has Brandon Marshall, or what he'd go for.

I think we're gonna cut: Randall Cobb - 23 (1 year) Arian Foster - 15 (1 year) Sterling Shepard - 8 (1 year) Robert Griffin III - 8 (2 years) Should be a penalty of 8 + 5 + 3 + 3 = 19, with 3 of it carrying to next year. So, we get: Dollars spent - $64 ($37 on salary + $8 preexisting penalty + $19 new penalty) Penalty - $27 total (24 - 1 years; 3 - 2 years) Available budget - $136 Roster Spots Remaining - 14 Michael Crabtree - 8 (1 years) Larry Fitzgerald - 8 (2 years) DeSean Jackson - 7 (2 years) Josh Doctson - 5 (2 years) Jared Goff - 4 (3 years) Terrance West - 3 (2 years) Ty Montgomery - 1 (2 years) Trevor Simien - 1 (3 years) Dropped Players: Justin Hunter - 5 (1 years) Andre Williams - 4 (1 years) Justin Forsett - 5 (1 year) Teddy Bridgewater - 9 (1 year) Randall Cobb - 23 (1 years) Arian Foster - 15 (1 years) Sterling Shepard - 8 ( 1 year) Robert Griffin III - 8 (2 years)

I'll make whatever, would rather not do Saturday night. Gotta figure out who to cut/keep now.

Can we still trade in this league? I assume we can...

My new contracts: Jared Goff - $4 (4 years) Randall Cobb - $23 (2 years) Robert Griffin III - $8 (3 years) Terrance West - $3 (3 years) DeSean Jackson - $7 (3 years) Houston DST - $2 (1 year) Larry Fitzgerald - $8 (3 years) Christine Michael - $13 (1 year) Sterling Shepard - $8 (2 years) Justin Forsett - $5 (2 years) Dan Bailey - $2 (1 year) Trevor Siemian - $1 (4 years) Josh Doctson - $5 (3 years)

Manziel could still hypothetically return, so I would assume he's a penalty. Plus, he's Manziel, there should be a penalty just for that.

Drop: Teddy Bridgewater - 9 (2 years) EJ Manuel - 7 (1 years) Johnny Manziel - 3 (1 years) Davante Adams - 18 (1 years) That should be an additional penalty of $12, meaning a total penalty of $18 in addition to $85 spent on actual players; leaving me with $97 to spend to fill 10 slots. ETA: Given that this is Friday, I think I'll be drafting from my phone for at least part of it, which could be interesting...

I am OK with that. Dates that work for me for a draft: Today (Monday), Aug 29 Tuesday, Aug 30 Wednesday, Aug 31 (need to know soon) Sunday, Sept 4 Monday, Sept 5 Tuesday, Sept 6 Wednesday, Sept 7 If the draft is Thursday and someone can talk me through how to do two Yahoo drafts simultaneously on the same account, I can do it. If it's Friday, I can try and do it from my phone maybe. Saturday is shot. Wednesday I should be traveling, but I can plan around the draft if it happens.

Was mostly just happy we got the Rat King story. This ep was fine, mostly I find that I'm still interested to see what they do with the show next season, which is where you're supposed to be, so... good job. Honestly, you couldn't really have a full-on release in one episode after the Red Wedding. So I was fine with this ep.
