Ford City/Kittanning- absolutely.. great area and good people.
Smith- do we draft on line via Yahoo - do you remember the time limits etc? Are there trades during the draft?

Maxbcat, you will need to watch yourself...this is supposed to be a rookie league, but I see some familiar faces that will smack you around when your back is turned....I wasn't invited since I have graduated out of diapers, so I won't be around to protect you....Good Luck!

Alright! Now we have waiting list. As for the trade thing I was suggesting I really was kidding but ran it by the Commissioner to see what he would say. I asked as i didn't want no surprises. He will not allow any trades of any picks until 4th round of draft. He wants to keep the integrity of the league. Here is exact quote from email. "I usually allow teams to trade before the draft but I plan to limit your 1st season to picks after the first 4 rounds. This is because if you look at the other leagues, a few guys were able to grab 5 or 6 picks in the first two rounds. I would hate for one team to do the same in this first league and then ruin the league for the next few years." Before this goes through can we vote on it? I would like to ban any trades of sorts until after the draft. Then anything is game! What do you all think? I guess I should be careful about my emails or my deepest darkest secrets could end up getting shared on the boards. LOL I guess I used the word "plan" as in, I haven't decided yet. Ultimately, it's up to all of you, since this is 'your league'. So, feel free to discuss on the boards or email me your thoughts. As Commish, there are some things I won't budge on (usually to keep consistency between the three leagues for simplicity purposes) but this one doesn't matter to me. - Commish

My father always told me if you don't want other people to know what you said then you better not say it Kidding aside. What about what these kids put up on face book or You tube. Pictures, videos and things they say comes back and haunt them when they go for job interviews! I also suspect this could affect some of the prestigious colleges for acceptance. They don't realize once its out there everyone can see it!

You haven't lived until you've had a Ford City "hoagie". Great stuff. Draft is conducted online, yes. I believe the time limit is 1:30 per pick. Once Yahoo opens registration (Feb 10-ish I'm hearing) they should offer a Mock Draft feature, so you can check out the drafting interface, test out your strategies, and so forth. CBSSports.com has their mock drafting feature already up if you need a fix now. Trades during the draft? Man...that would be nuts ;D

Gentlemen, puts yours hands together for Mr. 50 Desert Eagle. He is our resident "Legend in His Own Mind". Damn good player though. Just ask him
