Celticsblog fantasy bball keeper league (Draft Thread)

[Roy Hobbs]

Uh, how many picks are you making Larry? I've seen three in the last few minutes (Terry, Wally, now Corey). I have half a mind to enforce your second pick.

Champkind still can pick at anytime. Iron Lion is officially on the clock.

Wally should probably stick, since it was up on the board long enough to trigger the "edited by" feature.  The post was edited four minutes after making it; that's a bit too long, in my opinion. 

Hobbs there is no way it took 4 minutes between pick times!!! I changed that pick immediately. Terry was obviously a mistake because he was drafted earlier. C'mon with the sarcasm. I made my final selection and it is Corey Brewer. Anyone that has an issue with that is probably just mad because they were targeting him themselves. I changed that immediately. There wasn't even another post in between my switch!! Stop it Roy

I'm not trying to give you a hard time, man.  Your original pick was at 4:03 (the CB server is off by an hour); the edit came at 4:07.  That's four minutes.  I noticed that you took Wally, who was an available player.

Again, I'm not really trying to get a "leg up" on you; my team absolutely sucks, and will for quite some time.  The problem is you made a selection, and then changed it.  That's not allowed in any fantasy league I've ever seen.

I'm tired of all the hate in this league. I made my pick and it is Brewer. I have been on this site everyday since I was "kicked out" the first time...which I might add was bogus as well. You guys are unbelievable. Stop making trouble were there is none. This petty stuff has caused numerous teams to quit this league and is taking all of the joy out of the league. I could see if someone else had made a pick based on my quick switch but that is not the case. I really feel like your upset because Brewer was an awesome pick. Not cool.

Look, there is no reason to be childish.

Did you or did you not pick Wally before Brewer?  Why should you be allowed to change your pick?  Lucky and the rest of the board members deserve an explanation, rather than "I changed it quickly".

To be fair how many fantasy leagues are done on a blog? If this was done on yahoo my pick would have been locked. I think it's unfair that you are throwing that 4 minute window out there Roy. I completley feel as though you are misleading the public and using your moderator ability to flex your muscles. I stand by my pick and am 100% sure that it didn't take me 4 minutes to modify my MISTAKE

We would have had such a good league if we just did a Yahoo! draft.  People are getting basically autodrafted teams anyway.  If we ever do this again, let's just go with a live online draft.

that's right.  I said it.

G$!!!!

For goodness sakes, my "moderator ability" to "flex [my] muscles"?  I'm not misleading anything.  It's there, plain as day:  4:03 and 4:07.  I don't care what the rest of the league does; I'm giving my opinion, as one of the other league members.  Lucky17 has the final call on this, not me, and I'm sure he won't be persuaded by any "moderator muscle".

How am I being childish? Because I don't agree with the great Roy Hobbs? I'm really upset that your doing this Roy. I made my pick and it's Brewer. I made a mistake....I corrected it immediately. Another pick wasn't made before my correction. Why are you stressing this so much? Did you really want Brewer that badly. If that's the case just take him dude. It's not that serious to me. Whatever. I think this would have been much better if we had just done the online yahoo draft. This league is confusing and screwed up, it's starting to be more of a pain then a fun hobby.

I think you're backpedalling a bit here, Larry, since you know Brewer is a superior pick than Wally, even though you selected Wally and don't want to be 'stuck' with him when Brewer was still on the board.

Personally, I don't care. If you believe you're entitled to a do-over, fine, I'm not going to fight over this. But don't say anyone's hating on you. [And it's plain for everyone to see that your original post was edited 4 minutes after first posting, although it was evidently edited more than once during that span.]

Does anyone have any serious problem with Larry getting a mulligan? I'm not going to the mat with him on this. I'd like to move on, and I'm sorry I brought it to people's attention.

Lucky17 thank you for your vote but I am not backpeddling. What's right is right. I know I changed that immediately. I didn't even mean to post Wally in the first place. I tried to deleted it and it sent. We all know how screwed up the posting sytem can be at times on this site. As soon as I saw it went through I modified it to reflect my actual pick. AGAIN... Once I realized Brewer was still there I tried to back space and delete Wally but hit the wrong button and submitted the pick. My only option to fix my mistake was to modify my post. Don't rake me over coals for it. Roy....I can't beleive you are keeping this alive. WOW

Like I said, Lucky is the commissioner, and he is allowing your pick.  I would suggest you cool your attitude, however; the rules about respect on this blog extend well beyond this thread.  While I appreciate "how screwed up the posting system" on here is, I'm pretty sure it did not automatically write in Wally's name and submit the pick.  However, the decision has been made.  I hope the pick works out for you, and I hope you feel good about getting two bites at the apple.  I wish we all had that opportunity.

[yall hate]

who's on the clock?  or where are we at?

We are late I think  is Lucky

So you think you can just throw out the cool out your attitude thing and that's it? C'mon buddy. I think you should relax a little. I think you "authority is starting to go to your head a little". I didn't disrespect you at all. If you feel challenging your opinion is disrespectful then maybe this isn't the blog for me. Your the man right? Do what makes you feel good dude. I'm not stressing it.

it's 4pm i think this pick belongs to me now
