QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Mar 16, 2010 -> 09:21 AM) sounds good. as for the draft order, are we doing reverse order of standings as it was listed on the league's message board? if so, it looks like that it has been reset back to "random" after the last team joined. just a heads up. Yeah, it's the only fair way. I'm gonna wait until I get everyone's keepers to set the draft order. It went back to random because we had our 12th guy join.

Who is your favorite fighter? BJ Penn or Rampage. What's your favorite fight? Either Fedor/Cro Cop from '05 or Griffin/Bonnar TUF Finale Do you remember the first fight you ever watched? If so, what was it? I remember seeing a bunch of the early UFC's when I was younger but nothing that ever kept my attention. Do you remember the fight that got you hooked? If so, what was it? Not sure if it was just one fight, I think I just ended up liking MMA as a whole once I started watching full events. If you could fight any one fighter for honor, who would it be? And how would you want that fight to go? Old school Wandy & if I'm going out I'm gonna go out with a bang. If you could fight and finish any one fighter, presumably out of dislike, who would it be and how would you end it? Lesnar. Head kick or just putting him to sleep. If you had the authority to book a 5-fight PPV card, and if you could book any fighter in the world regardless of promotional affiliation, what card would you make? Fedor/Brock, Machida/Shogun II, Anderson Silva/Jake Shields, GSP/Nick Diaz or Diaz/Paul Daley, Penn/Aoki. If you could make any one change to today's MMA - be it a rule change, time/rounds adjustment, ring/cage adjustment, judging/scoring change, or anything else - what would it be and why? I would make scoring changes, not sure how. But I would, maybe just get more competent judges...it seems that judges are totally against giving 10-10 rounds. Let's say you had a time machine. If you could go back in time and collect one legendary fighter who was then in his prime, and then bring that fighter back to today and have him face a current opponent, what fight would you make, and who would you pick to win? Which current fighter out there now do you think will be known as the best of this current era in 10 years time? IMHO, it could be Penn if he's able to move up to 170 & beat some names, it could be GSP if he's able to move up to 185 & do the same. Maybe Silva, maybe Fedor. Name an athlete from another major non-combat sport that you think could have been a top contender in MMA. Ray Lewis If given 12 months of training under a great coach of your choice, how many of Bobby Lashley's current opponents (some nobody, Bob Sapp, Jason Guida, Wes Sims... maybe there's someone else) do you think you would *not* be able to defeat? And keep in mind Jason Guida can't even cut weight without cramping up and quitting, so you might not even have to step into the cage for that one. I figure if I've got the right camp, I can beat all of them. Which fighter would you be most scared to face if you had to? Lesnar. I mean he does outweigh me by 120 lbs. Let's say you're in jail alone with some dude who thinks you're pretty. Which MMA fighter would you most like to have your back? - Edit: I mean like which fighter would you want protecting you. I'm not talking about being mounted here. Lesnar.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 16, 2010 -> 08:49 AM) Anyone have any projections of the top 10 guys for the draft? Including leaving-early speculation... If I had to guess, I'd say... John Wall Evan Turner Wesley Johnson Derrick Favors DeMarcus Cousins Greg Monroe Xavier Henry Pat Patterson Cole Aldrich Damion James I'm sure I'm missing a name or two though.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 16, 2010 -> 08:46 AM) Is that guy worth $10 mil? Where's Cubano when we need him?!?!?!

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Mar 15, 2010 -> 07:34 AM) when would you like to know for sure? I know the draft is Sunday. Right now, i'm leaning towards: Ryan Braun Chase Utley Zach Grienke Tommy Hansen Ryan Zimmerman But i'm still undecided on either Hansen or Kershaw, and potentially Holliday over Zimmerman. I'd like to know by Saturday so I can for sure set everything up without a hitch.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 14, 2010 -> 11:34 PM) I'm fairly chalk. Villanova Kentucky Kansas Syracuse Kentucky Kansas Kansas

I've gotta catch this, I'm also looking forward to the ones they're doing about Allen Iverson & Ricky Williams

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 13, 2010 -> 08:16 PM) What happened to Brady and Quinn? You know that's the same person right?

Let's just post our keepers in here. As for who has what team... J4L - Sonic22 MattZakrowski - SS Hitmen I believe joeynach is taking over lobo

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 02:25 PM) No problem. I compared emails/team names from last season to this season. Now, there are some damn good players on each of these teams. I think some of these names will entice teams to sign up team GREEDY: MCabrera, Kemp, JUpton SS Hitmen: Beckham, Howard, Lincecum Sonic: Pujols, Prince, Cliff Lee Lobo: Rollins, Verlander, Johan, Peavy here is a link to the full teams available. Can someone confirm that this is viewable? thanks Viewable, thanks sir. I'll start PM'ing people as to who got to me first.

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 08:15 AM) Well, i would prefer not to start from scratch. I have some really top talent i'd hate to lose Since it's a keeper league, we may run into this issue every year. There always seems to be teams that just lose interest and don't want to return the next season. What i suggest is that the first team to signs up chooses which of the available teams he'd like to make his team. Second team gets second choice, etc. It won't be too hard to get a list of the players from each team, and I can easily do it for you if you would like. If you don't mind, then sure.

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Mar 10, 2010 -> 10:49 PM) I would say put the players from the 4 teams into a pool and have the remaining 4 people who fill the spots draft from that pool for their keepers. Idk how you would go about arranging this though. We might be better off starting from scratch, idk. Starting from scratch would be fine with me...I say we take a league vote.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 10, 2010 -> 09:53 PM) Well, I'm trying to fill Soxtalk 3, but if there's anyone from Soxtalk 1 or 2 that wants to be in a keeper league as well, you could ask Jordan4Life who to recommend. I've gotten PM's from a few people, I was just gonna give it to those guys.

Off the top of my head my three choices would be. 1. Onyx - Slam 2. 50 Cent - In Da Club 3. Trick Daddy - Take It To Da House

As long as everyone that's signed up for the league is cool with it, I'm gonna go ahead and give up the 4 open spots. Only question, how should teams be assigned?

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Mar 10, 2010 -> 07:39 PM) I disagree. People are going to read that Styles v Hardy is the main event and that will make them tune in, regardless of who the winner is. That's the ROH model and it works for them. also..... not everyone reads the spoilers - there's a lot that don't. Well unless you're at the show you have no choice but to do it that way when watching ROH shows. It's usually like 3-4 weeks before it hits DVD.

QUOTE (SnB @ Mar 10, 2010 -> 09:12 AM) beef, sweet and hot, w/ fries. You really can't go wrong with this. I'm not a fan of peppers on mine but from what I hear it's still delicious either way.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Mar 9, 2010 -> 03:47 PM) What is the best baseball game for XBOX 360? Trick question?

I was working on a paper last night so I didn't get to catch anything. Sounds like I didn't miss much from either side though...

QUOTE (supernuke @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 03:37 PM) I see we are up to 8 now. I think SS Hitmen is actually Soxfest on the board. If that's the case, I'll PM & see what's up. If I don't hear back from everyone the missing parties by Wednesday, I think I'll give up the spots to who PM'd me about openings.

Greedy's out. Waiting to hear back from SS Hitmen & Kalapse.

Out of the names that I know it's Kalapse, Sonik22 & GREEDY. I'll PM those guys right now & if anyone could figure out who the other 3 are then that'll be just super as well.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 3, 2010 -> 12:09 PM) NXT is really good, IMO. I like the no name guys interacting with the established guys. Its giving them credibility and while not on Raw or SD, kinda of pushing the guys. The only gripe I have with the show is Michael Cole. Instead of being a heel announcer he just sounds like a whiny b****.

I usually go with Levi's. If Levi's is a brand you prefer, you should go to an actual Levi's store where they have virtually every cut & fit that they make & you'll be able to get help with a fit that works best for you.

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Mar 3, 2010 -> 09:10 AM) So where do we stand with the other 6 teams left to join? I was coming in to post this exact thing. I haven't heard from anyone other than everyone who's signed up for the league. I'm up for giving another week for guys to come back before we give the teams away.
