2012 BBKL Waiver draft discussion

[kyuss]

I think 12am-6am EST should be a blackout period where the "8 hour time limit" does not apply.

maybe make it a 12hrs when it's overnight? or better, make it last till 11 a.m. whenever it starts after 11 p.m. (and earlier than 3 a.m.) ?

That works for me.

There can also be a n argument made for Matt's long and storied history of missed picks. In every draft ever.

I like the guy and all. But he sucks at drafting on time... Or ever.

[Shep]

I know right? It sucks that people have work and family that is much more important that a stupid fantasy league full of nerds like myself.

Shame on him..

Not everybody has BBKL is priority #1 in their lives, or feel the responsibility to check in every day especially when the only thing going on is a waiver draft that is worthless.

[Lee]

Pretty much.

It's so uncool to care

[Mike]

Just a heads up guys I'm going to work tomorrow day shift and won't be around to make my pick until the evening

Thanks cliff

i just have to LOL @ #1 priority. As if having any grasp of your personal schedule is a bad thing... BBKKL falls way way down the list, however is totally manageable & hopefully more of a fun escape for more taxing life 'jobs'. But hey, if anyone really is having trouble getting their commitments done in a day, by all means BBKL is one to skimp on.

seeing Mash and Cliff as the next two picks:

Fact is, not everybody has a smart phone nor the need to go on a computer every night. A father with kids and a wife is not going to go out of his way to be like "holy fuck, I have to make my waiver pick tonight" and be sure to check in. It's just how it is.

Look at Kyle (BOS), if he didn't have a job in which he could check BBKL frequently, he'd be on the site like once a week as his life at home is much more important than stopping in to check his PM's.

[Chuck Norris]

Anyone have Mash's new BBM? The one I have doesn't work anymore....

[Lee]

So with Mike making a selection for Matt, Cliff is on the clock until.. ?

[armandtanzarian]

I had to believe Babs would keep Brunner with Zetterberg considering what they did over in Switzerland...I'm just not a fan of putting Datsyuk and Zetterberg back together. Then again, they still hadn't addressed the issue of getting Pavel a playmate. I think Brunner can do will with the Wings because of the experience of playing with one of his future teammates during the lockout.

Sammy will be a nice surprise in Detroit this year.
