OSFL 2008 Draft Discussion

Welcome to the 6th round everybody!

That number seems to double every time you bring it up. I completed the trade before I was even on the clock, but it was contingent on a certain player still being on the board so I needed to wait for the other owner to return so it could be finalized. I was on the clock for four hours before the trade could be finalized. I tried to trade down again when I missed out on my top choice and couldn't get it done. That took three hours. If there's some alternate form of mathematics where this time - and you agreed most of it wasn't anybody's fault - adds up to almost 12 hours, please let me know because this subject intrigues me.

My second round pick was made almost right away. I was fully expecting to be home in time to make my 3rd round pick, but ended up going to the Phillies game on almost no notice. That's completely my fault, but as it stands, I was on the clock for under two hours. I made my 4th round pick the next day in under an hour, and my picks today in a few minutes.

So I apologize sincerely for the combined six hours I held you guys up this week, at least half of which I spent trying to work out a trade, which is less than several people have spent making just one pick. I guess that makes me the Satan of the OSFL. Get ready for the Devil Bobblehead giveaways at Showboats home games this season!

I would let it go but I hate when people lie. You were on the clock in the First round around 10:30am (forum time seems different then actual time but we will use that) The pick wasnt traded until 3:43 am. Thats 5 hours and you didnt update us that you were going to make a trade until 2 hrs into that. Next day your new #1 pick comes up at 3:22 pm and it was made until 7:40. That equals 4 more hours. Thats 9 hrs total on the first round pick. More than twice as long as anyone else took in that round.

Then in the thrid round we waited over 3 hrs for your picks because you went to the phillies game. Thats how I get 12 hrs total but whatever. My frustration (and maybe others) with you is you apparently have a busy schedule and you have the utility but you refused to use it for some strange reason. With the exception of Heel's mistake and round 1 and Kalispel's failure to pick in round 4, you have been the main one holding people up and you know. What sucks about it is you seemed to care less about holding up your fellow owners based on your refusal to use the utility.

But i'm done with it. It is what it is. Next year, we will have a shorter time limit and I will come down harder on owners who are inconsiderate. If people see me as an ashole because of it, so be it.

LITERALLY THE FIRST THING I DID AFTER MY MORNING PISS... and that's not good enough.

You are correct --- you should have picked BEFORE you pissed LOL

I gambled and won. ..so far, EVERYONE I've targeted has made it to the Rider's roster. . how in the hell has that happened?

The running back I just picked up in the fifth . . .my scouts have him as very underrated. . should be a good young spot situational substition type guy for my team. . .

I am new to this but, it seems like the draft is moving along fine. Actually OSFL has only been around for two seasons(correct me if I am wrong on that), so there should be issues every now and then. We just need to learn from them and move on. Aaron is on the right track we will make it better next time. My favorite dude named Bobby said it best: "don't worry.... be happy"
Sorry had that song stuck in my head all day... and you guys needed to share my pain: sing it you'll love it!
