• The point is we have a league, owners - it was just a thought given how much change has occurred. am

  Dying Quails on February 13, 2020 12:55 PM

• OK that looks like 5 votes for doing a slow draft via Couch Managers instead of a traditional Ottoneu style auction draft. If anyone is dead set against doing a slow draft, please post on the message board by midnight (EST) tonight (12/13). As long as no one objects, then I can set up the slow draft.

  AKA Big Papi on February 13, 2020 12:50 PM

• If we're starting fresh, what's the point?

  Gone with the Winn on February 13, 2020 12:49 PM

• I know this may not be well received, but with so much turnover, do we want to start fresh ? Just a thought. It feels like this is a whole new league now.

  Dying Quails on February 13, 2020 12:47 PM

• Never done a slow draft, I'm open to it and yes starting that the sooner would be better. Looks like someone just took over Tilting.

  Trash Can Drummers 🗑️🥁 on February 13, 2020 12:41 PM

• I vote for Couch Managers - the tension killed me lol. Let's do it then

  Dying Quails on February 13, 2020 12:41 PM

• If we do couch managers again, we can definitely start that at any time with no need for a poll.

  North Stars on February 13, 2020 12:39 PM

• I'm cool with both. I liked the couch managers too and just did completed one their Sunday.

  North Stars on February 13, 2020 12:38 PM

• I can do either style of draft but I would prefer the slow draft / couch managers too. That format was really fun and with keepers there will be fewer available players and won't take as long. Then we also don't have to worry about scheduling a draft with everyone's availability.

  Walker Off on February 13, 2020 12:37 PM

• I was hoping for a Couch Managers style draft as well. Seems like we are doing a "quick" few hour draft at this point.

  🍟 FryGuys 🍟 on February 13, 2020 12:33 PM

• To be clear, this poll is for when we launch the draft and use that same auction site to bid ? It takes a few days ?

  Dying Quails on February 13, 2020 12:31 PM

• I'm in a league with Musial and Johnny's Bananas, I've got no problem with any league they're in. Filling out the schedule now...

  Trash Can Drummers 🗑️🥁 on February 13, 2020 10:45 AM

• You put your team name in and fill out your row

  North Stars on February 13, 2020 10:31 AM

• OK OK, Kenny made a mistake with the polls. Let's use the one he just posted ( https://doodle.com/poll/4xdf8utf9fv5kanp ) to schedule the draft. I'll handle all of the other commish-related stuff going forward, so if anyone has thoughts or concerns DM me.

  AKA Big Papi on February 13, 2020 10:31 AM

• There are 3 entries, all from this league. Me, Fly, and Musial

  North Stars on February 13, 2020 10:31 AM

• So Mr. Smooth Operator, did you see that this doodle pole already has teams from another league listed there? Is it assumed we're supposed to edit and write over them?

  Trash Can Drummers 🗑️🥁 on February 13, 2020 10:27 AM

• https://doodle.com/poll/4xdf8utf9fv5kanp

  North Stars on February 13, 2020 10:25 AM

• Durrrr.... Here is our poll. https://doodle.com/poll/4xdf8utf9fv5kanp

  North Stars on February 13, 2020 10:24 AM

• Kenny, that poll you linked is for a different league and is already filled out by 11 teams.

  Fly the W on February 13, 2020 10:20 AM

• One more thing, I am handing over the Commish duties to The Musial Suspects, aka, Mr. Ottoneu. I will stay on as Co-Commish to help if needed, but he is now in charge. I have gotten a ton of messages from old and new owners and nobody wants the old ways to continue. With him, they will not. Let's have a great season and make this a great league.

  North Stars on February 13, 2020 10:05 AM

• Ok. No free cuts except for the current abandoned team.

  North Stars on February 13, 2020 9:56 AM

• Oh really? Well since there was dissent, I will retract that.

  North Stars on February 13, 2020 9:55 AM

• I tend to agree, as much as I would love to cut the $60 JDM I forgot to jettison, I don’t see why we need to make more cuts right now.

  AKA Big Papi on February 13, 2020 9:54 AM

• This is not a good idea and sets a bad precedent. The people who owned teams and have been in the league had their chance to do research and make cuts.

  Trash Can Drummers 🗑️🥁 on February 13, 2020 9:52 AM

• One more thing, since this has been a hectic offseason thus far and the fact there are so many new owners to this league and even Ottoneu, I am going to give everyone one last chance to make cuts penalty free. This will help those who kept players that are way too high or recently injuries. I will change the setting now and leave it open until Monday. Good luck.

  North Stars on February 13, 2020 9:46 AM

• Rest assured FLY THE W, this league will now run very smoothly. I am commish of 4 others leagues and they all run like a clock. If I stay commish, I am super active and on top of any issues very quickly. Also, for anyone on Slack, my username is @KP/Kenny Powers. I will create a league channel there. So, find me on Slack, and I will add you. Also, if you are not on slack, and want an invite, send me a message and I will get the league Admin to add you. He needs your email.

  North Stars on February 13, 2020 9:33 AM

• Kenny,there are already 11 teams signed up in that link and the only one I recognize is yours.

  Fly the W on February 13, 2020 9:31 AM

• Kenny, this pole is for another league.

  Trash Can Drummers 🗑️🥁 on February 13, 2020 9:31 AM

• This league is a circus. If the recent events are indicative of how this league operates I won't be around next year.

  Fly the W on February 13, 2020 9:28 AM

• Welcome Doorbot, good to see you're not sober, and glad to have you aboard! It's definitely going to be a long, chaotic draft.

  Trash Can Drummers 🗑️🥁 on February 13, 2020 9:21 AM

• Welcome to the league. Going to be a wild auction with so many big names available.

  North Stars on February 13, 2020 9:03 AM

• Hey everyone, took over Stone Cold Sober (definitely not applicable...). Looking forward to a busy auction, heh.

  Gone with the Winn on February 13, 2020 8:51 AM

• Fyi. I never sleep

  North Stars on February 12, 2020 11:49 PM

• I'm. 1 more to go guys. Then we can set a draft day

  North Stars on February 12, 2020 11:47 PM

• Oh very good. What his email. I'll message NIV

  North Stars on February 12, 2020 9:17 PM

• Spoke to tilting. He got booted but emailed the administrator. He's waiting to hear back from them now.

  Nappy Dugout on February 12, 2020 8:51 PM

• Still no word from the Commish. We are down to 10. Every left has paid, so we have that going for us. Im going to find a replacement for Stone Cold

  North Stars on February 12, 2020 8:16 PM

• Have you seen The Righteous Gemstones? It's his newest show on HBO. I highly recommend. I only became commish so the the league can continue to run smoothly. If Tilting does not return, I really hope someone else volunteers to be commish. I'm already commish of 4 leagues. The biggest problem is that if he doesn't hurry, anyone can claim his team, pay, and they will be locked in.

  North Stars on February 11, 2020 4:58 PM

• Yeah I totally understand. He's probably just super busy with work and family. We will hear from him shortly and I dont know about the other owner stone cold. Hope he didn't take his team name too literally. And yes eb and down one of the greatest gratuitously raunchy shows ever. And his personal best second only to the foot fist way, one of McBride's terrifically amateurish early work.

  Nappy Dugout on February 11, 2020 4:54 PM

• Btw. Love the reference to the real Kenny Powers

  North Stars on February 11, 2020 4:27 PM

• It looks like Stone Cold is gone, he didn't pay, make his cuts, or respond to my messages.

  North Stars on February 11, 2020 4:26 PM

• I hope he does come back. I don't want to run another league. I am just letting everyone know what we need to do before the draft and season can start

  North Stars on February 11, 2020 4:25 PM

• Hold on now Kenny. Keep your mullet curls tight and your jetski moored. I think Tilting was/is on vacation. I'm sure he's got things under wrap. It's only February 11. Pitchers and catchers are just now reporting.

  Nappy Dugout on February 11, 2020 4:12 PM

• Hey everyone. This league is a mess atm. I'm going to get it fixed. 3 teams didn't pay. I'm going to recruit if they don't pay. I'm thinking of offering everyone another chance for penalty free cuts based on some uncertainty. Idk. We can decide that when we know for sure who all the owners are. Last thing, we will need to set a draft date. This year we will have a normal draft, which takes 3 for 4 hours. I will send out a doodle poll when the league is full.

  North Stars on February 11, 2020 4:00 PM

• NIV is going to make me commish. Hopefully Tilting returns very soon

  North Stars on February 10, 2020 3:22 PM

• So we are now without a Commish ? For clarity, I guess - I am a guy, my team is named after my daughter :)

  Dying Quails on February 10, 2020 3:21 PM

• I work with the commish he is on vacation right now not sure if he is seeing this. When is the money do for everything?

  WrongSideOfThePlate on February 6, 2020 4:36 PM

• "I apologize for the spam, here's more spam" - KP

  Trash Can Drummers 🗑️🥁 on February 5, 2020 6:39 PM

• Haha Nappy. Love it. I'm in too many league now and became commish of two of them. Sorry for the spam

  North Stars on February 5, 2020 6:26 PM

• Oh yeah. Wrong league. Sorry
