Grew up in Indiana and moved around Michigan/Kansas City etc... but have always been a big fan of Texas teams (mostly Cowboys and Astros) since the early 70's.

Glad to have another yank on the board after one of our own was tossed (he that must not be named in Arizona - just joking here not provoking.

Hey, I am putting together together a fantasy football (NFL) start-up league using the Ryder Cup theme (2 places for Americans left and 2 places for Euros left) - let me know if you are interested in something like that --- should be minimal time commitment since most of the work will be done by the commish - but a fun group of guys to draft with. FYI

Cheers.

Very cool! I always (very wrongly) assume that everyone is based in Europe when I know there's quite a few active Yanks on RAWK. Sometimes I think I just mix up usernames with who's based in the States and who's based elsewhere across the globe. Looking at your user profile it's now obvious to me you're here but I would have never been able to say that until about 30 minutes ago.

Yeah, more than happy to sign up for that fantasy football league. Haven't done much fantasy football for a while now but I'm certainly down to give it another shot and make a fool of myself.

I hadn't either until last year really -- was pulled into it reluctantly and then decided to put a hurt on the boys across the pond

I suspect you could the very same my friend. Sent you a couple of invites

No rush - as we still a few months, but we are building up a nice USA v Euro rivalry here.

Sheer great pick mate... The N Ireland and low caps part to Best make him really a top 5 pick (almost went for him).

Sheer Magnetism · « **Reply #123 on:** May 20, 2021, 01:50:09 am »

Sorry everyone, I was out tonight and didn't catch we were starting this soon!

El Lobo · « **Reply #124 on:** May 20, 2021, 09:14:28 am »

Bests a great pick for that cap category. Dont think anyone really needs to worry about nationalities though, you've got the obvious 8 or 9 with loads of options and then another 10 or so with plenty too

I am content. I just want more.

I just wanted to beat Trend to the title of the biggest draft loser but sadly rawk had other plans. Now I must break the record for the most draft wins. Who has that record LMM? Betty? Hazell?

It's definitely not me!

There was a period of time where Saint Kopite was either in finals or winning them. It's him.

El Lobo · « **Reply #127 on:** May 20, 2021, 11:27:17 am »

Saint Kopites wins are as valid as the ones Juve won during Calciopoli. He was the inventor of draft wives

I've PM'd Vish too so hopefully he'll be able to pick soon. He's in a different timezone, isn't he?

Lastrador · « **Reply #131 on:** May 20, 2021, 01:48:25 pm »

So, I know we said there was no timetable for the first pick but this is getting a bit ridiculous now.

At this rate, Alisson might have the 50 caps needed to make the cut!

We are gonna need someone "to concierge" for Vish here - so we can get moving while also respecting the time difference and his schedule.

This is the problem with the modern day 16 person draft - it takes forever to get everyone situated to the rhythm.

tubby · « **Reply #136 on:** May 20, 2021, 03:11:49 pm »

Ok I'll give Vish till 10am UK time tomorrow. If he's not turned up by then, we'll move forward and he can catch up.

Banning American residents would alleviate a lot of the issues.

Vish will probably post in the evening. Its' the early hours in India right now.

El Lobo · « **Reply #140 on:** May 20, 2021, 03:22:48 pm »

This is why the 8/8 format of drafts is becoming a lot more popular than the longer form of the game

The World Cup will start bout the time we get this done, perfect

Seriously though we should just skip Vishwa now

Samie · « **Reply #149 on:** May 20, 2021, 03:54:56 pm »

Not sure Vish needed all this research time for a Round 1 pick. I mean he could've just picked Bodo Illgner.

All for inclusion and patience, but we've been here before. But its up to Tubbs, he's the boss.

We could move Vish to the last pick of the round by executive decree - that way he can still pick his picks and give him more time to respond (he would only have 6 turns - 2 at a time instead of 11).

tubby · « **Reply #151 on:** May 20, 2021, 04:04:24 pm »

We waited long enough for the draft to start, what's another half a day?

Vish has till 10am UK time tomorrow and then we'll skip him and he can catch up.
