What are you looking for?

I've got the personnel for both.


Friend me, I had to change PMs due to creepy messages.

I'd really like a 2nd tier WR or OLB/DE (someone who might avg 10+ sacks per year).

*Note: Megatron is the first tier*

Hmm, don't got none to spare, unfortunately.

Anyone interested in Steve Smith?

I still have Peterson on the block to. Nobody is interested in him at all?

Ok, I released all players from all teams that had a zero year contract. The original team no longer has any special rights to their zero year contract players. Those players are now available in FA for bidding.

There will be a few more players added to FA soon. These are the players that weren't on an NFL roster at the beginning of the season.

I also fixed the problem causing duplicate listings of players in FA.

is there anyway to see what players were dropped? I went through and released all my 0 year players until I was out and got down to 53 and now im below that on both my teams

Unfortunately that info didn't get saved, roster move logging is on the list, but not ready yet.. But I checked the subroutine first by printing out the players to be released along with their contract length. They were all zero year contracts.

I believe you, I don't see anyone missing off my roster so I don't know its probably right though.

What's your teams name?



Also, can we get the list of owners+teams updated in the OP? I never remember anyone's team.

If you go to the standings page it always has the current owner affiliations. A few of the Sandbox handles don't match the CP usernames, but for the most part you can figure them out.

Merci, mon ami!

Cdcox:

Will we have an opportunity to change our team's name? I think you mentioned awhile ago that you'd field all the requests for name changes at once just to make the process more efficient.

Yeah, we've got a bunch of requests. We'll do this before the season starts.

Let me know when.....I want to change my name as well. If I need to send a formal request....I will.

Pembroke Pines trimmed it's roster to 53 today. The following players were released:

QB Tyler Wilson
P Robert Malone
LB Justin Durant
TE Clay Harbor
WR Devier Posey
HB Darren McFadden
G Davin Joseph
WR Robert Meachem

Wow, McFadden? There's a guy who has not lived up to the hype.

His last college game was in the Cotton Bowl against Missouri. All the pregame hype was about the three headed Arkansas running attack with McFadden, Felix Jones, and Peyton Hillis. They combined for a mediocre 170 yards rushing and 1 TD. Meanwhile, Tony Temple, who had been pretty pedestrian during his 4 year career at Mizzou, exploded for Cotton Bowl records of 281 yards and 4 TDs.

He's actually only 26, but a guy who has averaged 3.3 YPC two years running is not in my best interests.

KC drops:

QB Brandon Weedon
QB Drew Stanton
RB Benny Cunningham
WR Lester Jean
LB Jamari Lattimore
LB Chris Carter
CB Darrin Walls
S Cooper Taylor



If we can't trade for a used Gatorade cooler we'll have to drop these OL with years left on their contracts'

Recent 2nd rd. pick OT Mike Adams. Lost his starting job mid-season & ended up a swing tackle still playing all but one game. He was also shot last year in June, should prolly try & keep him. :hmmm:
G/OT David Diehl
C Lemuel Jeanpierre

Available for trade:

Frank Gore
Either of my QBs
Any DL


What I need:
TE help
2nd level QB
WR help
LB Help


Thanks

How does Chase Daniel sound?

Anyone who wants a team name change, let me know. I'll compile them and we'll make the changes.

As a note, this will be the last time that free-range name changes will be allowed. We'll be uploading a database of several thousand team names, and after that people will have to select one of those. It's a pretty good selection, though.

Can it be whatever we want? I have no problem picking from a list if that's how you want to do it. I just don't want to be the Pomona Beach Pandas.

You should be the Pomona Beach Jaguars and we can call you the PBJ

Can we move to different cities? Provided they're in the same geographic region as our division?

Yep. Leagues 1 and 2 are open game since you're all Beta Testers. It would be nice if you would make it a name that is a) timeless and b) not crass so that we can freeze the names and keep our database consistent going forward. Imagine that you're dead (friction burns from a supermodel orgy - quite tragic) and the next owner coming in has to keep the game. Would he/she like it?

I can't imagine anyone not liking the name Pembroke Pines Patteeus, but just to account for people who like words they can look up in dictionaries, I'm willing to change my team name to the more generic, but equally alliterative Pembroke Pines Pelicans.

Phoenix Pirates then?

Can I be called St Louis Lunatics?

I'd like the Lexington Akitas to be switched to the Orlando Predators.

oh I definitely want the Colombia KC Hood Starz name changed. lol

So it would be acceptable for Oklahoma City Outlaws to move to Madison, WI? Or should I try to keep it localish?

If it's cool, the OKC Outlaws will now be the Madison Brewers

I'd like to relocate and rename as the Asgardian Ocelots.

Ooooh, Asgard? Classy.

(Putting green visor on, scribbling notes.)

Colombia KC Hood Starz to the Scranton Miners please

Pomona Beach Pandas to the Phoenix Pirates. Just in case you didn't see it above.

Good God....I've become cachiefsfan.

Gosder Cherilus (RT)

cdcox agreed to switch divisions with his LA Knights so I could move the KC Fubar to Vancouver, Wa. renaming them Vancouver Reign City please.

Okay, everyone. Feel free to make trades and do your scouting, but we're in standby mode at the moment. cdcox is busy at work and it'll be a bit before he can fire up the main thrusters and launch the season. Assume it'll be another month.

Is it time to dust this one off, too?

Definitely!

Shit, I was counting on not having to play this season since I basically blew up my team

Talib is officially on the trading block.

2013 schedules are up

It should be interesting since we've got a look into the future with this and last year's seasons already in the books..

I've got Tony Gonzalez on the trade block for anyone looking to win now.

Revised trade block:
Aqib Talib
Ron Parker
Wallace Gilberry
Letroy Guion
DeMarcus Ware

Okay, I think we're just about to break through our data problem. Stay tuned.

Logistically speaking, how are we going to make this work? Aren't we a couple seasons ahead of the Sandbox universe?

Motion to blow it up and start from scratch. Re-draft and all..

Hmm, interesting. I would consider it. But we'll have 2013 and 2014 seasons of simulations, so I think it would be fun to keep going with our teams, recognizing that we'll have the advantage of hindsight with those teams while still having to live with the mistakes of our original rosters.

I'm sure it'll be interesting either way.

Apparently the guy that originally drafted for my team had a family emergency or something and couldn't finish. I'm just trying to shed one of the worst rosters in the league.

Oh, that's right. You got a big rebuilding project.

I suspect we'll have some openings in the other league if you'd like to take a second team. I've really enjoyed having multiple teams, because it eases the pain of a loss if I can see something positive from at least one of the teams in a given week.

I'd be ok with starting from scratch, even though I have a pretty good team

AH, HELL NO.

A couple positions my team was deep so I just frickin' traded off some studs for draft picks.

My other team was in the middle of a rebuilding project. My fatties on this team were good @ either pass block or road grading so I planned on trying to use pass blockers for teams with weak secondaries and graders for teams that were weak against the run.



If we voted on starting over give us a pile of money to sign FA & restart right now. Not a lot of time to study...

And another May bump.
