Don't see how, do you? Things are looking worse and worse, and I find it hard to believe it's all about additional testing. I feel especially bad for bob554, who is new here. Trust me, this is not a bustling site, but usually far more active by now or how it's gonna be. Or leagues are always very active. Just don't know if most people think the season will go off without a hitch, even at this early stage. Yikes, less than 2 months away, not so early.

I was just thinking about this also Bev. The uncertainty (yes I looked that spelling up) is making the interest lacking. I hope if and when training camp starts I will get excited. Fantasy is going to be tough if players have to quarantine. Sad year for sure. Not ready to break out the backhoe yet though. I'll keep it in the barn for now.

The baseball season is due to start. I think that will be a big boom or bust for the football season.
Del Mar horse racing opened last week. Shut down already as fifteen jockeys tested positive.

Nice we we still have the backhoe smiley, some sort of consolation prize. I wrote to Fantasy Football Calculator, complaining that there were only 1 - 4 humans in their mock drafts (yes I did). lol But IDK if it's cuz they're setting them off too frequently (didn't have to look up spelling) or that no one cares or thinks it's gonna happen. I think football, by its very nature (a contact sport) is gonna be a tougher sell than baseball. Although Danny was just telling me about these new helmets with shields and breathing efficiency (didn't look that up either but spell check likes it) tweaks. The baseball season is due to start. I think that will be a big boom or bust for the football season. Del Mar horse racing opened last week. Shut down already as fifteen jockeys tested positive. You'd think that would be all of them, no? lol

72 players have already tested positive. Not sure we are going to be able to do this even if they try and play. Fantasy will be super tough with all the quarantines and stuff.

Anyone doing any mocks? Did one a month ago. Maybe I should in case there really is a season somehow. Man, my life would suck without this. It's barely tolerable at all being alone down here. Anyway, it's been near impossible for me to keep track of who wound up where this year, much less who each team drafted. At least a mock or two will keep me briefly occupied. No new TV either.

I haven't done any mocks yet. I have paid less attention than ever. I think fantasy football will be really tough. Lets say your QB tests positive and has to sit out a few weeks, you're screwed. I wish NFL.com had more proactive stuff for fantasy. We need a way to fill the void of players sitting out. Maybe a rule like if my QB has to sit I automatically get his back up without going thru the ww.

That is if they allow to put sick people on reserve.

Problem fixed Okay, will do that ASAP, but does that really solve any problems? There is always 1, maybe 2? 3? EDIT: Seems there are quite a few players backing out for the 2020 season, some big names like Dante Hightower (precious Pats).

If we are not moving forward with this league, let everyone know. It would be a waste to lose the work that was put into the past years as well as the online bonds that were made.....

The league is here to stay I imagine, whether or not this season goes forward. It looks like it will however. But if no football this year, we will all come back, God-willing, a year from now. And many of us, not all obviously, will be here every day or two or 3 or 4 or 7, just to see what's up and how we all are doing. It's been 10 years since the NFL forums, and if anyone knows anything about me personally, I don't like to lose people, each and every one of us are irreplaceable, at least in my life. So thanks again as always, for checking in. For those that haven't heard, sadly, Indydave will not be joining us this year. Doesn't mean he is leaving forever, but might be - sort of a political issue. Anyway, as of last night, and a phone meeting with Craig too, Eddie will be taking his spot.

Are we going to have a draft and keep players or have a re draft?

Are we going to have a draft and keep players or have a re draft? The graveyard hive is a keeper. If you are in that you keep three. I will bump the thread for you. haha. are you going senile?

Now now Craig, we are all getting a little senile - or maybe it's just me. hehe Yes, it's the same as the orig GY, keep 3, or CTM, except that was keep 4. There have been new rules. One I'm not fond of is making the keepers QB & RB round 6, WR 7, and TE & other 8 - especially in light of the fact that 1) we only keep 3, and 2) players lose their draft round value after they've been kept once. IOW, you draft a stud in round 12, keep him once, then he's untradable. TBH, I have no idea what draft round he'd default to. this is something we need to address.
