Where's my invite @Jaime L? Scared? 

:P

You know, you're right. I coulda sworn you were in this league. Let me call my personal assistant, Shirley, and make sure we didn't make some kind of mistake.

"Hey Shirley, what about Tywin...shouldn't he have received an invite? ...Wait, Shirley, I can't hear you over the laughter. Take a few deep breaths. Here, get yourself a glass of water and start over. ...Ok, you say there was no mistake? That he's never won a board league? That even @Manhole Eunuchsbane looks to be closer to admittance? Ok....ok....no, Shirley, no need for that. no seriously that's overkill...no I got it. Ok, thanks Shirley. Buh-bye"

Ok, hey man, sorry. She says you barely missed the cut this year, couldn't possibly have been a closer call, but that we totally expect to see you here in 2018. Do us proud, Tywin!

Maybe @Tywin et al. wins a board league for a berth into the Experts League this year. .. you could even say he Tywinned his way into the league while some poor schmuck* gets Jaxomed out.

*Going to be me now that I've made the joke.

I'm pretty sure it'll be me after offending the Karma Gods by making fun of someone seeking entry into Experts. I just can't resist giving Tywin a hard time. It gives me life.

But I do like the notion of "Ty-winning" one's way into this league. I may start to use that.

Hahahaha. Legit fist pounding the desk levels of laughter. 

That said, man did I have the worst luck ever last year. I didn't expect to actually live up to the 13-0 billing, but I couldn't have foreseen half my team going done by week 5, and the other half that didn't had terrible years. Oh well, that's what I get for thinking I could win the league with Dalton and Palmer as my QBs 1 and 2. 

Sigh. It's all @Manhole Eunuchsbane's fault. Thanks for starting that early run on QBs. Jerk...

Lol, I like it.

And never forget, Jaxomed has a second meaning now. @Jaxom 1974 done Jaxomed the world.

Still waiting on @grozeng and @Mya Stone - right?

Can we set a draft date -- at least tentatively so that we don't get screwed with an early draft or a crap time? Maybe throw in for Sunday 9/3 or Saturday 9/4 and then adjust from there?

Hey you're in good company. The Bengals have spent the last 15 years thinking the same thing.

That's Shirley for you. Just know I respect you highly, Manhole. 

But to answer your question, I'll respect you a scootch more if you make Experts.

Saturday generally comes before Sunday so not sure those dates are possible. :P 

But I like where your head is at. Sunday 9/3 and Monday 9/4 would be good by me. Do either work for other people? 

If not, how is Tuesday 9/5 or Wednesday 9/6 shaping up? Nice to have the Experts draft last, I think.

Multitasking. Bah.

Agree with the rest.
