I must have a different view being commish, maybe someone else can tell you how to see them.

Can you guys not add or drop players from the website?

I would appreciate it if everyone who claimed someone who cleared move them to your roster and drop appropriate players by tonight.

Only from within the game as far as I can tell.

I can't figure out a way to see them on the website either.

Eman has used all his FA points for the season. I wonder if we can trade them? Like for players or draft picks?

Post by **ScoopBrady** » Mon Aug 31, 2009 7:04 pm

Man, you're not kidding, there are slim-pickens left. For those with depth on the right side of the offensive line I am open to trade talks for a RT or RG rated at least an 80 that is no older than 32.

It really sucks you can't view the free agents online.

No trading of FA points.

eman is in the situation that if he ha someone injured he will have to ride it out and not put them on IR as he has no points to claim anyone. If it becomes a roster situation where he can't play a game because he is missing a position he will get the lowest FA at that position.

That's ridiculous since as commish I can do it online and I can pretty much add players and drop them off of anyones roster.

Or surely he could trade that injured man to someone else for players or draft picks, and let the new team deal with the IR procedures. Why not?

So do I. Life may have been good to Joe Walsh so far, but he's not enough to make my receiving corp respectable.

I feel like Dan Snyder right now.

That's what I planned on doing - using up all the points to fill my roster now. Looking back I should have kept a point for a kicker - that's about the only position where I figure it could come back to haunt me. Otherwise I have decent depth throughout the roster.

Scoop, I'll see what I have at RG and RT for you. I picked up Donnie Edwards as insurance, but wouldnt mind having someone a little more talented at one of my linebacking positions.

Incredible, Donnie Edwards broke up an early Jake Delhome pass on 3rd down in my franchise game tonight. It was a key play. Although his physical skills have eroded, his 95 awareness is critical for this Philly defense.

Scoop, I dont have any backup lineman worth trading for.

Whatever...we're now deep enough in the WR scrap heap that I'm considering (gasp!) Marty Booker. But I think that I will just get by with what I have. I've given up.

Speaking of receivers, Marvin Harrison caught zero passes in the Jets opener. Good time playing with Brando as the Jets defeated the Texans 27-0.

Ouch, 27-0? I checked stats in your game (I'm trying to scout you guys since I havent played online much) and total yardage was basically even, but Brando had 4 turnovers. I guess it goes to show the importance of protecting the football.

That's because his Maserati does 185.

Thanks for checking, but fear not. I WON THE JOHN RUNYAN SWEEPSTAKES!!!

The best part is it only cost me 1 point.
