So here are some observations from the 1st real football game of the season.

I tuned in a little late, but my my mark it only took about 10 minutes in to the 1st quarter before Chris Collingsworth reminded me what a tool he can be -

No disrespect meant to Raiders' fans, but -

There are TWO teams paying tonight.
Josh McDaniels is NOT Bill Belicheck.
While the Raiders are a decent team, but they ARE NOT the Brady-era Patriots.
It's only 6 days into training camp. Who cares if the Raiders look good (BTW - they're playing the 6-day-into-training-week Jags!

Aside - I am a late-to-the-party cord cutter. Why is it the commercials run fine, but the live stream freezes about every 10-20 seconds? Peacock app is just about unwatchable..

Oy!

Alright Teams.
Looks like we're # of keepers is staying put at 3. Time for our latest (and perhaps last) poll before draft. Should we carry 1 more RB on our rosters?  This will not increase roster size. It will just mean teams have the option of keeping 5 max vs. the current limit of 4.

 

Thanks!

I’d also prefer a slow draft starting the week before.

If we do a slow draft we should start a week earlier so we can make sure we finish it with plenty of time before the season starts. I’m good with doing a slow draft. It will avoid the hassle of getting people in the draft room on time.

Ken - If it comes down to it, we can do a slow draft, even though I know most would prefer live. We can start it on the 4th in the evening and hopefully have it done by the 6th.

Would require everyone's attention and cooperation.

DJ - What time works for you in the PM?

Do we need to consider a slow draft again? I have never been in one; so, I don't really have an opinion on them.

I’m no go Sunday morning but ok Sunday afternoon (West Coast time). Evening no go. Same with Friday.

I am unable to attend draft during day on 3rd or 4th of September but can in the evenings.  I'm EST so if that helps

Hey everyone, I was going to see if there was any way that we could change the time for the draft.  I will be traveling to Europe on the 3rd, and it is a 19-hour journey.  Is there any way that we can move the draft to either the previous day, Friday the 2nd, or Sunday the 4th? I land in Europe at 1 PM local time on the 4th, but they're 6 hours ahead, so I would be settled at ready on the 4th.
