<p>OK, I don't promise to know what I'm doing, but I have set up a league on ESPN. PM me your preferred email address so I can send you an invite. Expect that settings will be fluid for a while. I have tentatively set a draft date of Aug. 25th (3rd week of preseason).</p><p> </p><p>

There is nothing preventing you from playing in both the Yahoo and ESPN league.</p>

<p>Ok, I should have invited everyone who PM'd me unless I sent you a PM back. There's still some room if people want to join up.</p><p> </p><p>

Draft date is till very much up in the air. I'll try to set it to accommodate the greatest number of people. Rules are also up for discussion.</p>

I'd like to thank wallbanger for the invite, looks like it will be fun <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Right now the ESPN league is sitting at 10, which is a good number, actually. If there's still interest I'm happy to issue a couple of more invitations. Beyond 12 it gets a little dicey, particularly for keeper leagues; the player pool isn't deep enough in many ways to support it.

Okies.

 

Also...this leagues is the 25? I may have to duck out early. My pay league is the same day at Famous Dave's and I love me some good cooked food from there. :p

 

Date is negotiable at this point, just want it to be during the preseason so everyone has more data to make draft decisions from.

 

Wow, Dave's has gotten out that far? Agree that they're great barbecue (though living in Kansas City that statement can endanger my life if said in the wrong company!)

 

If you ever come out this direction there are three joints you MUST eat at if you love barbecue:

 

Oklahoma Joe's

Jack Stack

Arthur Bryant's

 

Some would add Gates' to this list, and at one time they were the undisputed king of 'cue here, but they've gone downhill a bit in my opinion.

 

There's also a handful of places that if you are a true fan are also worth going to:

 

Papa Bob's (this is the home of the Ultimate Destroyer as featured on Man vs. Food)

 

BB's Lawnside BBQ (live blues concerts nightly)

 

Smokin' Guns BBQ (one that not everyone knows about but is as good as any in KC)

Dave's hasn't been out here long, I think 2 years or so.

 

I'm going to Mass in Sept, maybe a trip out that way next year would be good. You guys get a lot of snow? I LOOOOOOOOVE BBQ, spicy, sweet, and honey!

 

We don't have many *good* aces here. I don't care for the big chains. I don't mind stuff like Red Robin, but they just....don't seem to care about their customers. I'd love to find a hole in the wall and get some good grub and a nice drink and not spend $30 and feel cheated.

Snow depends on the year. Of course growing up in South Dakota and Minnesota my definition of "snow" is different than many of my neighbors. :p

 

We'll get 2-3 solid winter storms a year and a few light snows, but most of the winter the ground is not white.

We're only a few days away from the draft (Saturday) and I see that we only have 8-teams this year. Is that what we're going for? I know in years past we've had around 16 or so.

 

With the draft on Saturday, I won't be able to be there live and will most likely have to set my ranking. Sunday, I would have availability but we'll be moving on Sat!

I'm shocked the draft is THIS early.....

 

I won't be able to be there SAt either. My brother has an all day softball tournament and can't take his baby out in the heat so I'll have him from 8am till possibly 8pm

That is not the day of the draft. I meant to choose an arbitrary weekend day near the end of August as a placeholder, and I chose July accidentally.

 

The league isn't even at intended capacity yet... Hell, not everyone who asked to be invited has joined yet... :p

 

I'm not going to set the draft day until I figure out a day that will be best for the greatest number of people.

I never received an invite... just popped back in to see if you guys are still doing this. Or if I got dropped or, whatever.

 

I can't speak for mjd, but I don't think I ever received a PM from you with your email to be able to send you an invite. You're certainly welcome in my league if you want to participate.

I also didn't get a PM from you. Send me your email address and I can send you an invite.

Is the league looking to be 12 or 16 this year?

 

It'd be great to see an active turnout this year (throughout the duration of the year). We've had some people excited in the past, sign up a team, only to then neglect it and ultimately hinder it all.

 

All in all, I'm really looking forward to this year!
