Got word from Ben (Steelz). He's at a baseball tourney today, but will make pick tonight.

Gonna hate myself for jumping into the New England RB room, but after watching Stevenson rampage through the Gators in their bowl game, I had to have him. I was glad you took him right in front of me because I feel the same way that you did. He's an unsexy, smart pick due to an extra nuts RB class but the NE backfield situation.

Joe is dealing with an unfortunate family situation and will make his pick when he can.

Matt (Woodlands Premier) reached out to me to alert me that he ducked up on the auto-select feature and did not mean to select whom he did. Since no other pick has been made I've reverted it back to his pick to allow him to correct the error. I told him that if another pick had happened he would be stuck with the selection.
Another reason that there is never any upside in auto-selecting imo.

Hey guys- sorry for the screw up- Thought I’d cleared the queue but apparently I didn’t. Appreciate the mulligan, Greeny and the other teams.
One thing is for sure: the updates and user friendly interface that MFL instituted over the last year, has really taken the experience up a notch!

If anyone is interested in moving up to 2.15, send me an offer or shoot me an email. I like picks. Cash works too, though.

Trading is never easy and I don't want to rant for the sake of ranting, but these trades have been questionable at best. If you don't have the time or energy to draft or make good calculated trades, you need to ask for help. Last year I got semi-daily responses when offering trades to Charles and eventually he fought back with better offers. These past two trades with Greeney to me at least are a sign of giving up.
Antonio Brown is 32 and at best the 4th option on his team - facing multiple litigations and one mistake from being out of the league and you give up a 1st/2nd/3rd along with a player for Brown and two nothing burgers.
Then you double down by taking on 3 more average guys for 3 more draft picks when you could have selected the exact same person Greeney did and upgrade your DE spot if that was what you were looking to do.
I have reached out to many teams and offered far better trades than these and have been laughed at. I feel like our trades last year were negotiated in good faith and both sides got what they wanted. There was a plan and Charles aimed for top end talent for his picks as did I in reverse.
We all know Greeney will send an avalanche of trades and he like any good negotiator starts at what is best for him and you work down. These feel like the top end of his range and were just accepted to get it over and done with.
Sorry for being that guy but it needs to be said.
I don't get it.

I'm looking forward to his inevitable "Sorry guys, I just don't have the time to invest in the league anymore" email

A couple years ago, someone traded away all their picks to Greeney for established players bc they didn’t want to take the time to make their own picks and wait for them to develop. It was reminiscent of the Saints trading all their picks to get Ricky Williams.

Wow I missed the Antonio Brown trade. That's outrageously bad.

Spoke to John (Longpoots), he left for family road trip last night shortly before going on the clock and is on the road a good chunk of today, but plans to look at it upon arrival tonight if he can't get a co-owmer to do it sooner.

Steelz relayed his his 2 selections to me and I picked on his behalf since he was not available.

The guys with the next 2 picks are currently on camping trip in a pretty remote area, but plan to pick by mid-day pending cell signal.
