Add in Reggie White to make it a triple threat match. Maybe throw in Kevin Greene too and have a fatal four-way match.:D

Not a bad idea. Still, if I'm sending my franchise player in the ring, it's tag team or bust.

I kinda regret not picking Henry Jordan now.

Good luck defending Deacon Jones and Kevin Greene on the same side of the pass rush BTW.

The Guns of Hoculi will add to their run defence and select:

DT Albert Haynesworth

With our three skipped picks we will take a powerful back who was top-3 in rushing yards on three occasions, a receiver who is not only a five-time probowler but also was top-10 in receiving yards four times, and finally we select a ballhawk cornerback..who has led the league in interceptions and has finished top-5 three times.

RB: Jerome Bettis
WR: Irving Fryar
CB: Asante Samuel

49ers select another TE with a short career so far, but too impressive of a resume to pass up, Jason Witten.

No Green Bay!

Brrrrr Green Bay!

The Cowboys 8 hours have passed, so the Bills take with our final pick TE Wesley Walls.

Just an FYI:

JCD's computer went kaput on him so he's in the process of getting a new computer up and running in the next day or so. Once he's able to get that done, he'll be back and able to get his picks in.

419 - Dallas Cowboys select - Coach Bill Cowher

Super Bowl XL victory (2005)
2 AFC Championship victories (1995, 2005)
AP NFL Coach of the Year (1992)

149-90-1 (regular season record)
12-9 (playoff record)
161-99-1 (overall record)

So now that only skipped picks have to be made up, how are we doing playoffs?

I'm assuming 2 conferences of 7, home-field advantage gets bye into 2nd round?

I have two ideas, but I'm not really sure about them:

- #6 and #7 play before the playoffs, to determine the last seed.
- Make a conference with eight teams and the other with six.

Pardon my lack of experience, yet how will seeding be determined? Via a point system? I.E: each manager votes without voting for their own team..7 points for a first place vote, 6 for a second and so on?

I would assume LoveDaSlug's idea of 2 conference 7 team play with first place getting bye would be the best way in doing this.

You vote for the teams in the other conference only, I think.

And yeah, I miscalculated, his idea makes a lot of sense too.

Is JCD the last one left?

I'm sorta looking forward to the next step :D

The Browns have a missed pick as well.

After the conferences are determined, you vote for the order in each conference (the assumption being that you will rank your own team 1st of course). Usually one person from each conference is designated to collect the votes for the other. Then we have threads for each playoff matchup and everyone can discuss the matchups, the GMs can provide arguments why they would win in the head-to-head matchup, etc. Then again one person for each conference collects the votes and based on the vote does a AP-style write-up for how the game actually progressed (this is actually much more fun than it may seem, I did it last year), then repeat until the Super Bowl.

Sorry guys, had no idea.

I like the way that sounds, thanks for the heads up and looking forward to the results, will the write ups remain the same?

So, any idea on how the conferences will be made?

So, any idea on how the conferences will be made?

Random.org is a fair way to go.


List all the teams from 1-14.

Have random.org list 7 numbers - those 7 make up 1 conference - those left make up the other.

Hm, I like that idea, personally. I tried it and it gave me this:

Buffalo Bills
Guns of Hoculi
San Diego Chargers
Boston Patriots
Green Bay Packers
Baltimore Colts
Edmonton Eskimos

Dallas Cowboys
San Francisco 49ers
Cleveland Browns
Memphis Showboats
Philadelphia Eagles
Deadwood Gunslingers
Pittsburgh Maulers


Anyone ok with those conferences?

What if we went odds and evens?

The conferences look fine, really any random order will work.

I like the way that sounds, thanks for the heads up and looking forward to the results, will the write ups remain the same?

As long as people are willing to do a write up, sure. I don't know how much time I'll have so I may not be able to. But it was fun--if the vote seemed more one-sided, the margin of victory in the writeup would be larger. The writeups do take some time to do well, and of course that person would be responsible for collecting the votes.

I don't mind the above conferences, any random order will suit our purposes.

I wouldn't mind doing a writeup or two, depending how one will be down for example. Concept seems pretty cool, but Im smack dab in the middle of finals so I doubt I could tabulate votes for all the match ups.

*Bump*

I think it may be time to make a group consensus on this thing and have it move forward.

I'd hate to draft all of our players and then have this thing fall off by the way side.

I suggest doing report writeups until the finals...it's much quicker and still is a solid writeup. That's what im doing for the baseball ATD.

I wouldn't mind doing a couple write ups if needed. The one I did for the baseball one last year people enjoyed.

Let's just get this going. Let's be honest, we're not going to change our votes depending on who Pittsburgh picks in these last rounds.

Let's just get this going. Let's be honest, we're not going to change our votes depending on who Pittsburgh picks in these last rounds.

I agree.

First step, it would be beneficial to those managers who have not yet done so already, to post their rosters in the roster thread so we can accurately and effectively analyze line ups and match ups.

Buffalo Bills
Guns of Hoculi
San Diego Chargers
Boston Patriots
Green Bay Packers
Baltimore Colts
Edmonton Eskimos

Dallas Cowboys
San Francisco 49ers
Cleveland Browns
Memphis Showboats
Philadelphia Eagles
Deadwood Gunslingers
Pittsburgh Maulers

Since I really don't want this thing to die, send your rankings for each conference to me. Everyone please fill out your rosters on the roster page. Once I've got all the votes or I've got the majority by say Wednesday (except Pittsburgh's because he doesn't have CPU access and hasn't been on HF in a long time) I'll tally up the playoff positions to get this thing going. Here's the system I'll use.

1st place-7 points
2nd place-6 points
3rd place-5 points
4th place-4 points
5th place-3 points
6th place-2 points
7th place-1 point

First place in each conference gets a bye for the first week of the playoffs. Once this is done we'll move on from there.

He's had several posts over on the politics board lately:
http://hfboards.com/showpost.php?p=22509130&postcount=33
I have pm'd him about his involvement in this draft with no luck.

In regards to what you have proposed, I'm fine with it, I'm not sure how many others have been monitoring this thread anymore so I suggest extended the Wednesday deadline a few more days and I'll send out pm's to everyone to give them a heads up.

Yeah wednesday is too soon, I'd like for everyone, myself included, to take a good look at everyone's roster

My roster is updated.

Could someone just clarify what we are supposed to do from here on out.

I'm in all the way, just want to know how the next step goes.

Rank order each conference based on how the teams would fare in a "regular season" and PM them to Billy.

I'd suggest extending the deadline a hair just to make sure everyone has updated rosters posted and in case JCD can make his three picks (I definitely would want him to make them before the playoffs begin).

Friday deadline work? I've received no lists FYI. I'll send a PM to people who haven't posted in the last day or two.

I'll get to this sometime later tomorrow night when I have more time to evaluate all the rosters.

My rosters are up to date. I'll send my votes in tommorow however.

Roster's up, I'll do the rankings when I'm a little more aware of what I'm looking at.

Sorry guys, I'm having major internet issues due to getting hammered here with snow. I'll try and get to the rankings by tomorrow. Thanks!

Yeah, I think I'm pushed back to Friday. I'll be home all day Friday. I've been trying to do a bunch of other things tonight.

I've got two rankings so far, and mine makes 3. Let's try to get them in ASAP guys.

I'm waiting for Dallas, Philly and Cleveland to post their rosters and I'll finish up.

I'm waiting for Dallas, Philly and Cleveland to post their rosters and I'll finish up.

Philly and Dallas are up.

Cleveland and Pittsburgh are the only ones left. I went via the draft board to scout their teams.

I'll try to get my votes in by Friday but I've been busy with end of semester exams and papers and simply haven't had the time.

I will try to get to them tomorrow night or Saturday early, if that's alright.

I'll push it back to Sunday because I don't have very many votes

I'll push it back to Sunday because I don't have very many votes

At this point, its been quite awhile now, and I agree Sunday should be the last day to get them in.

Votes are sent. This was harder than I thought, just kept on second guessing myself. Lots of evenly matched teams.

If your team name is on the list, I haven't received your votes. If it's not, your votes have been received and recorded.

Edmonton Eskimos (have conf. 1, not 2)
San Francisco 49ers

There HAS to be better names for these conferences...

I suggest the Paul Tagliabue conference and the Pete Rozelle conference. Or perhaps the Howard Cosell conference and the Gus Johnson conference.

So throughout the entire draft I was tracking where each player was born and what college they attended. I was interested to see how it would all play out, so I'll be posting that shortly.

FYI: There will be three more added to these lists if JCD makes up his missed picks.

Also, please let me know if you see any of the schools I have listed twice, if there are any, so that I can combine their totals. My eyes aren't noticing anything after compiling the lists since it looks like one big blob right now.

Great job W.H.B, pretty neat to see how the distribution breaks down.

I'll get to my votes after the games today. I didn't forget.

I've tallied the votes and here are the standings:

Does number of 1st place votes sound like a fine tiebreaker?

Sounds good to me. Not too disappointed to be right in the middle.

First round playoff matchups:

Baltimore at San Diego
Guns of Hoculi at Green Bay
Boston at Edmonton

Pittsburgh at Memphis
Cleveland at San Francisco
Deadwood at Dallas

Please PM me your picks for each game, along with your MVP for the game.

Shouldn't we make separates threads for it?

Right now, we're leaving out the arguing part and I don't see the interest if we're going to do that.

I think we should make a separate thread for each match up and have each manager say their piece on how they plan on overcoming any perceived weaknesses and exploiting strengths.

Got both ends of the spectrum, very low and very high. This should be a good one to break down.

Wow, I thought my team was fairly balanced, but I must say I am surprised to get home field advantage in the AFC. There are a lot of really good teams in both conferences

I think we should make a separate thread for each match up and have each manager say their piece on how they plan on overcoming any perceived weaknesses and exploiting strengths.


This is how we did it last year. That's really the best part--having the GM's argue why they would win the H2H matchup, and neutral observers dissecting it, etc.

Each thread made for respective match ups, may not be as fancy of a set up like the baseball ATD but it'll have to suffice :p:.

Posted each lineup as they appear in the roster thread, bolded certain parts like offense, defense etc. for anyone who had added it for clarity sake.

Had to use some guessing to project the lineups for both Cleveland and Pittsburgh, yet I think it should be enough for everyone to have a handle on how each team looks.

What should be the deadline for each managers argument to be posted and the votes tabulated?

A reminder for everyone to get their write ups done as soon as possible and get their votes into BiLLY subsequently.

Any volunteers for first round write ups? I'd be interested on how each match up turns out and style that these write ups are done.

When are they due by? because I gotta fit that into my brain somehow.

I've got 7 sets of votes so far. Only one of the games is close (4-3). All the others have a majority winner. If one more person votes for the team with 4 we'll move on, if someone votes for the one with 3, we'll continue.

I'll have mine in tomorrow, got an exam that's been pre-occupying me.

Votes sent.

I was the second seed. Shouldn't I have home field?

Yes, you do have homefield.

Good. I don't want to play in that ****hole Candlestick even in pretend.

That was my bad, you do.

Please PM me your votes for winner and MVP. I'll try to send a PM reminder when I get a chance.

Are we going to get threads for them?

I've got 5 votes, a couple more would be nice. Both series are 3-2 right now.

So what's the word on this?

I guess we're in the Super Bowl bye week :sarcasm:

Perhaps the participants who didn't vote should be PMed again.

Ah, that's what I've been delaying for like two weeks.

COMPLETELY forgot about this. Damn, by bad guys. I'll try to get a writeup ready.
