Labor Day at 7 pm or later is ok with me
Neanderthal at Aug 22, 2023 11:34 AM -
That works for me as well
Columbus Panhandles at Aug 22, 2023 8:31 AM -
Labor Day 7pm PT works for me

7pm pt
COLTS at Aug 20, 2023 12:05 AM -
It looks like I’m the only one with a conflict on Labor Day. I’m able to move some things around and can either draft early in the day or 7PM-ish PT.
Please respond and tell me if you are available early (between noon-4PT) and/or 7PT.
Sin Fransicko Forty Nightmares at Aug 19, 2023 11:18 PM -
That is why extended drafts/auctions are the ONLY way to go.
COLTS at Aug 16, 2023 10:08 PM -
That calendar for the draft is looking like a hot mess
Teenage Mutant Njigba Turtles at Aug 16, 2023 8:58 PM -
Although I said I will be away from Aug 19-26 I can access a computer during that period so I am now available 5 nights Aug 20- 24 in the evening from 8 pm on , eastern daylight time. Does that help?
Neanderthal at Aug 16, 2023 12:48 PM -
I am available any night after August 27
Neanderthal at Aug 15, 2023 3:56 PM -
With 5 people having filled out the sheet, I don’t see any potential dates that work at this point. At least one person has every possible date blocked out.

Click the link (or copy and paste from my post). If you’re still having issues I can DM you the link as well.
Sin Fransicko Forty Nightmares at Aug 15, 2023 3:32 PM -
How do I access Google documents doc
Neanderthal at Aug 14, 2023 6:43 PM -
Sorry, it’s good to go now.
Sin Fransicko Forty Nightmares at Aug 14, 2023 11:49 AM -
We need access to edit the Sheet, it's View only currently
Columbus Panhandles at Aug 14, 2023 11:37 AM -
Hey everyone, sorry for the delay in getting this availability calendar out. Between Neanderthal being gone for a week and folks like Panhandles and myself being somewhat unavailable Labor Day weekend, lets get this sheet filled out ASAP: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wxCCosT5IX4Ln1OpYhJsYcU3aWQSznRIicGyGBAwAS8/edit?usp=sharing
Sin Fransicko Forty Nightmares at Aug 14, 2023 11:35 AM -
I sent a message to the commish, he hasn't logged in for nearly 2 weeks, hoping he responds so we can get the draft scheduled
Columbus Panhandles at Aug 14, 2023 8:58 AM -
That is Labor Day weekend and I will be in the Adirondacks without internet
Columbus Panhandles at Aug 12, 2023 2:39 PM -
i am away Aug 19-26 and have a draft on 27th but am available after that. The weekend of Sept 1-3 might be best
Neanderthal at Aug 12, 2023 2:26 PM -
Can we start working on a draft date? My calendar is filling up quickly with other drafts!
Columbus Panhandles at Aug 8, 2023 3:08 PM -
I'm against the arbitration for new teams after the cutoff- every year we have 1-2 teams not do arbitration in other baseball and football leagues so it's commonplace. We're (maybe?) a week away from the keeper deadline and making adjustments, regardless of how small/incremental, this late in the process seems unfair. My roster only has players I intend on keeping, those arbitration dollars allocated now are for sure staying on my roster. Doing it at the arbitration deadline, those dollars might have gone to a player I planned on cutting.
Teenage Mutant Njigba Turtles at Jul 21, 2023 12:10 PM -
what is the decision on arbitration? I don't think that I have done it either. what is real keeper deadline? rules say Aug 1st. home page says Sept 11th which can't be right.
COLTS at Jul 20, 2023 11:29 PM -
If anyone under budget is looking to make a move, I'm entertaining offers on pretty much any of my high priced guys.
Sin Fransicko Forty Nightmares at Jul 20, 2023 4:38 PM -
Commish—In response to your comment, the way I’ve seen it done in the past is the new owner posts his allocations into this message board for all to see, and then the Commish goes in and reallocates players’ salaries accordingly. I actually had to do this in another league I Commish earlier this off-season. A little tedious but not terrible.
In response to the other comment—I’ll just throw out that while yes there are some competitive balance issues with the timing, there’s an even worse competitive balance issue with some teams not doing arbitration at all. And whereas that issue cannot be remedied any other way, there are ways to remedy your concerns. I’ve seen leagues in the past make rules like you cannot allocate to any players that have been traded in the off-season, or the new owner can only allocate $6/team instead of $8 (which kind of simulates what you are talking about as far as wasted allocations).
Do these two rules sound like they might address those concerns? Definitely don’t want to push through something the rest of the league isn’t comfortable with.
SundayInTheParkwithJeffGeorge at Jun 15, 2023 10:43 AM -
I’m new to the league as well and I don’t really care that much so I’ll go with whatever everyone else wants to do. But one issue worth pointing out is that normally arbitration happens before anyone has made any cuts from their end of season rosters, which is helpful from the perspective of any owner absorbing arbitration dollars. Often another owner will allocate some arbitration dollars to one of your players who you think is a cut, which is a benefit to you because (1) you get fewer dollars allocated to players you would actually like to keep and (2) you have a lead on a potential trade opportunity that might give you something of value for a guy you’d cut anyway. So making cuts before arbitration dollars are allocated is a disadvantage, and some owners have already made cuts in this league (in the expectation that no more arbitration dollars would be allocated) while others have not. I am not one of those owners who would potentially be disadvantaged here, I’m just not sure it’s great precedent to do this post the arb deadline. Happy to go with the majority though.
Bring Your Playbook at Jun 14, 2023 9:30 PM -
I’m not opposed. I’ve just never done it as a commissioner before.
Sin Fransicko Forty Nightmares at Jun 14, 2023 7:59 PM -
I'm good with it
Stoolblasters at Jun 14, 2023 4:08 PM -
Hey there everyone. I claimed the team but am not necessarily committed yet. I see that the previous owner did not participate in arbitration. I wanted to reach out and see if I could participate in arbitration now at this late date? I know it’s late, but we still have over a month before cuts. When I’ve taken over teams in the past, I’ve usually been able to complete arbitration without any issues, so I just wanted to see everyone’s thoughts on the issue. Thanks.

Welcome to our new team Playbook
Neanderthal at Mar 18, 2023 10:31 PM -
Welcome to the league Playbook!
Sin Fransicko Forty Nightmares at Mar 18, 2023 1:50 PM -
Hi all - I picked up the team formerly known as No Punt Intended. Looking forward to competing this season.
Bring Your Playbook at Mar 18, 2023 10:01 AM -
Hey everyone, I hope the off-season is going well! Just a reminder that arbitration is open and must be completed by 3/31. Don’t forget you need to assign at least $1 per team or none of your activity will count.
Sin Fransicko Forty Nightmares at Mar 9, 2023 9:49 AM -
I mentioned this previously - but just confirming that I won't be returning for 2023 season either. Thanks all
Bring Your Playbook at Feb 28, 2023 2:13 PM -
Welcome!
Sin Fransicko Forty Nightmares at Feb 24, 2023 3:38 PM -
Hello all- I've taken over Newman and am looking forward to joining the league
Teenage Mutant Njigba Turtles at Feb 24, 2023 10:09 AM -
Me neither
SundayInTheParkwithJeffGeorge at Feb 12, 2023 11:17 AM -
I will not be back for the 2023 season
Teenage Mutant Njigba Turtles at Feb 12, 2023 10:55 AM -
Hi all,
As a Bills fan - this week has been difficult for sure. My current thoughts are as far from Fantasy Football as they've ever been, and while it seems as though the Ottoneu leadership has a plan forward I wanted to make it known that I have no interest in debating the outcome of the championship regardless of the result of the Bills/Bengals game and I'm happy to concede to Stoolblasters although any other outcome was highly unlikely as it is.
It has been an excellent season and I've enjoyed building this discarded franchise back up, but in light of the events on Monday night I'm stepping away from Fantasy Football for a while. It hit a little too close to home and made me question the ways I express my fandom and engage with the NFL. I say all of this now so that you can get an owner in place prior to any offseason transactions and so that this league can move on as quickly as possible.
Thanks for understanding - and I hope you'll join me in sending thoughts/prayers to all those directly and indirectly affected and especially to Damar Hamlin for continued progress towards a full recovery.
Best,
Jack - No Punt Intended
Bring Your Playbook at Jan 5, 2023 2:49 PM -
Hated seeing you lose Taylor before our heated rematch Round Mound - it ain’t over just yet, but valiant effort either way. Jefferson/Saquan trade the rare case of trades working out for both sides? The trade could carry me to the finals, but I’ll be regretting it in the offseason for sure!
Bring Your Playbook at Dec 25, 2022 11:11 AM -
Sheesh No Punt Intended…stop, stop, I’m already dead.
Sin Fransicko Forty Nightmares at Dec 24, 2022 7:20 PM -
Looking to make win-now moves, I have lots of young players I would be willing to move
Columbus Panhandles at Nov 22, 2022 1:30 PM -
Date and time good for Neanderthal
Neanderthal at Aug 13, 2022 12:19 PM -

Alpha’s team has been abandoned and we have a new owner. The new owner will get one round of penalty free cuts to get them under the cap.
