Correction: 8:30 eastern, 5:30 pacific
Gently's Agency at Aug 26, 2017 2:25 PM -
Reminder: draft today at 5:30 eastern time
Gently's Agency at Aug 26, 2017 2:03 PM -
I talked to him about that, and he's happy with his team as it is.
Gently's Agency at Aug 26, 2017 2:03 PM -
st.louis pats has only $4 left an 7 positions to fill. is paying AP $65 and Gronk $184. Is that on purpose or maybe not looking at the roster anymore?

Black Swans's trade block has been updated!
ChicagoButkus at Aug 23, 2017 3:10 PM -
Our league is back to full strength. Our draft is set for this coming Saturday, 5:30 pm PT, 8:30 pm ET. There are a few teams that don't need to draft, so I'll start the draft on time even if there are some missing owners.

Paid, thanks
Gravyboat Surprise at Aug 18, 2017 10:13 PM -
I set up the LeagueSafe account today. You should get an email from them to pay in your $20 for our winners' pool.
Gently's Agency at Aug 18, 2017 8:25 PM -
Welcome KFN! Because we have new owners, we are allowing pre-draft no-penalty cuts. Message me who you want to cut and I'll take care of it.
Gently's Agency at Aug 17, 2017 10:13 AM -
Hi all, I am excited to join the league this year. I am willing to do the side pool for payouts. I was just wondering how cuts for my team should be handled before the draft?
Mr. Meeseeks at Aug 17, 2017 9:13 AM -
Welcome to the league Papifantasy!
You asked "I have a couple of questions like there is a letter Q or PUP in red beside some of my players, what does it mean?"
I'm posting the answer here in case others are wondering. My understanding is those designations are hold-overs from the end of last year and won't be updated until the NFL starts reporting officially again before week 1. That's how it is working on other sites also.
Gently's Agency at Aug 16, 2017 7:22 PM -
Repeat/reminder: I bumped the draft back 2 weeks to Saturday, August 26 at 5:30 pacific, 8:30 pm eastern. We need to get out act together with all owners. I know that most of them will renew, but we might need to put one or two teams back on open status and get new owners. If anyone has a proposed new owner, let me know.
Thanks.
Gently's Agency at Aug 12, 2017 6:56 PM -
reminder: draft is this Saturday at 5:30 pm pacific, 8:30 pm eastern - the draft page is available now, and I asked Niv to fix the "waiting ..." message
Gently's Agency at Aug 10, 2017 6:43 PM -
regular cuts (1/2 salary penalty) will be available after the draft - I see that we have a few other teams that will need to do that
If others consent, I'm happy to open up the no-penalty cut window now to all teams. That might help us have a more interesting draft, and we are such a young league that I fear some of our owners are not aware of the deadlines for such things. Let me know.
Gently's Agency at Aug 7, 2017 8:51 PM -
Vincent Price - because you did not own your team in the period when no-penalty cuts were available, I will remove players from your team now to keep it fair. Just let me know who to remove from your roster before Saturday.
Gently's Agency at Aug 7, 2017 8:47 PM -
Fine with the draft time and the donation!
Shep at Aug 7, 2017 8:44 PM -
Saturday night August 12th is fine.
Tough Customers at Aug 7, 2017 8:41 PM -
In the past we have made optional contributions to a winners' pool with LeagueSafe, and there seems to be no objection to doing it that way again this year. Unless anyone objects, I will set it up again the same way as before: $20 contribution, 3 winners, 60/30/10 splits.
Gently's Agency at Aug 7, 2017 8:01 PM -
So far we have a draft scheduled for Saturday, August 12 at 8:15 pm eastern (5:15 pm pacific) (moved later at the request of Black Swans). Please speak up now if you cannot draft then. Thanks!
Gently's Agency at Aug 7, 2017 8:00 PM -
I'm a sportswriter who is free most of the time so I can make almost any draft time. Very flexible on the pool as well how has it been done in the past?
Tough Customers at Jul 27, 2017 9:50 AM -
Saturday afternoons are basically impossible for me. If it's a weekend, would an evening be possible?--like after 8pm eastern? Weekday afternoons would also work for me. No strong opinions on the winner's pool--the way we've done it the last few years has worked well, I think.
ChicagoButkus at Jul 27, 2017 8:48 AM -
Just to get started scheduling it, I propose a draft on Saturday, August 12 at 4:00 pm eastern (1:00 pm pacific). Please post if you can't do it then.
When you post about the draft, please also describe your preference for how we set up the winners' pool. Last year we did it on an optional basis with payments into a LeagueSafe account. Most people contributed, and I think it worked out just fine. Suggest an amount.
Thanks.
Gently's Agency at Jul 26, 2017 2:05 PM -
Welcome Vincent Price FC and thanks for taking over that team. We are back to full strength and to set up the coming year. We need to (1) schedule our draft, and (2) vote on how to set up a winners' pool.
Gently's Agency at Jul 26, 2017 1:57 PM -
Hey everyone, I just claimed the team Wilfork for food (to be renamed) and I am looking forward to joining a good league! Am I welcomed to join in the merriment here?
Tough Customers at Jul 25, 2017 5:44 PM -
Does anyone have strong opinions about how to do the winners' pool this year?
Gently's Agency at Jun 23, 2017 2:58 PM -
Welcome to the league Little Red Fournette. We are fairly low key, and each year we start with a discussion about how to do the winnings pool (we haven't decided that yet for the upcoming year), but we keep the amount low. Also, we don't have our draft scheduled yet.
Gently's Agency at Jun 23, 2017 2:57 PM -
Hey all, just claimed the team Gary Barnidge (to be renamed) and excited to see what my $5 Fournette can do this year! Will make cuts/trade offers soon.
Shep at Jun 23, 2017 12:15 AM -
Reminder: arbitration runs until February 28. It only takes a couple minutes.
Gently's Agency at Feb 17, 2017 4:13 PM -
Thank you.
Mr. Meeseeks at Feb 15, 2017 6:36 PM -
Oh wow......that was pretty damn easy. I was clicking the team url's below overview LOL. Ooops.
Mr. Meeseeks at Feb 15, 2017 6:36 PM -
The box that says "overview" can be changed to select a specific team, and then you can pick the amounts for players and hit save.
Gently's Agency at Feb 15, 2017 6:30 PM -
Hey guys. I am new to arbitration but I think I get it for the most part except I do not see where you make the offers? I see the arbitration link above but when I click it I see the teams but no where do I see where I submit the offers.
Mr. Meeseeks at Feb 15, 2017 6:25 PM -
Arbitration starts 2/15. Here are the rules:
Arbitration starts on February 15 and lasts until March 1
Arbitration allows teams to add dollars to players on other teams in their league
Every team has a $60 allocation budget to utilize as they see fit
Every team must give every other team in their league at least $1 and no more than $8 in additional salary
No player can be allocated more than $4 of additional salary by another team ($44 league max)
Gently's Agency at Feb 9, 2017 12:00 PM -
Welcome Sirrus Ballers. Last year was our first, and (after the normal ottoneu membership fee) we contributed optionally to a LeagueSafe account, with only those who paid in to the pot having possible winnings. Most contributed and it worked well. However, this is a good time of year to reopen the discussion of ways to do it. Thoughts?
Gently's Agency at Feb 4, 2017 11:51 PM -
Hey guys. I just took over A LARGE PILE and changed the team name to Sirrus Ballers. I am confused about the league fee, there is no league fee ?
Mr. Meeseeks at Feb 4, 2017 9:08 PM -
We have lost our owner for the team "A Large Pile." We have time, but if anyone knows of a new potential owner, please let me know.
Gently's Agency at Jan 1, 2017 2:40 PM -
LeagueSafe payouts have been processed for Destiny's Beaver (first place), Same Ole Sorry Ass Rams (second place), and Black Swans (third place). Congratulations to all three, and thanks for a competitive year.
Gently's Agency at Jan 1, 2017 2:39 PM -
Congrats to Champ Beaver! Great season, buddy! You built a monster team and it looks like you are going to be a contender for a long time! Happy New Year, everyone & thanks for running a great league, Gently's.
Mr. Meeseeks at Dec 29, 2016 1:15 PM -
Congratulations Destiny's beaver. You had an awesome team. It was a fun season. Looking forward to next year.
Gravyboat Surprise at Dec 27, 2016 5:31 PM -
Congratulations to our league champion Destiny's Beaver. I'll process the LeagueSafe awards to our top three in a few days when I'm back at my desk.
Gently's Agency at Dec 27, 2016 1:23 PM -
All four of our finalists contributed to the pot.
Gently's Agency at Dec 20, 2016 2:58 PM -
Now that we are entering the final playoff week, here is an update on possibly payouts for winners. The following teams contributed: The Same Ole Sorry Ass LA Rams, ClevelandSucks, The Bacon and the Sparrows, Gary Barnidge, Black Swans, Destiny's Beaver (paid twice), and Gently's Agency. Each contribution was $20, though Destiny's Beaver will start with a payout of $20 due to the double payment. That leaves the total winners' pot at $140. We will have 3 winners, with a 60/30/10 split. The winner of the championship game will get $84, the loser of the championship game will get $42, and the winner of the consolation game will get $14. Let me know if you see any mistakes here.
Gently's Agency at Dec 20, 2016 2:50 PM -
There is hope for us yet. 55 year old gets into DI game as a RB. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2016/11/19/joe-thomas-55-years-old-south-carolina-state/94128238/

Indeed, it takes some getting used to. Looks like you set lineups from the main team page now.
