New League Rules for the 2006 season.

Well today was the 1st annual Playmakers NFL Draft Party and Owners Meeting. The NFL Draft was exciting to say the least. We had some much food and fun. Owners in attendance were: NY Knights, SUKMYDITKA, Cutthroat Pirates, Boston Beer Works, Detroit LS, Daddy Mo Bucs, Will Work For Points, and Superdestroyers.

Fantasy Football Issues discussed and changed: As you all know it takes 6 owners to change a rule.

1st Topic, (on the Blog Poll question) The division team names of Crimson and Titanium were voted on and kept. Voted on by 8 owners to keep same division names. It is unknown which owners voted since it was a poll question, there was 2 owners who did not vote.

2nd Topic, Division alignment will be based on the Draft position each year (odds/evens). This was done to change up the league from year to year. The odd numbers for 2006 of, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 will be in the titanium Division. The even numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 will be in the Crimson Division. The Superbowl Champ will always be in the same division as last season so he can defend his title and division.

This was voted on and passed 8-0. Owners for: 8=NY Knights, SUKMYDITKA, Cutthroat Pirates, Boston Beer Works, Detroit LS, Daddy Mo Bucs, Will Work For Points, and Superdestroyers.
Owners Against: 0

Ricky Williams DONE.

(Ricky doing what he does best.)
Dolphins' running back Ricky Williams has lost his appeal and will be suspended by the NFL for the entire 2006 season. Williams has now had four positive drug tests over the course of his professional career.

(He is no long the number 2 back also.)

Ronnie Brown shared the backfield with Williams last season, but when word leaked out his winter that Ricky had tested positive again, Brown's fantasy value began to rise. Now that the appeal has been denied and the suspension is official, Brown's value is surging even more. He will appear among the top 15 running backs on most cheat sheets this summer, even if the Dolphins acquire more running back depth in the draft. As for Ricky, you can stick a fork in whatever lingering value he had, as his playing days might be over even though he'll be eligible to return in 2007.

Crimson and Titanium Divisions are here to stay.

Its official the poll results are in. Six and only six owners voted unanimously to keep the division names of Crimson and Titanium.

I Look forward to seeing everyone next Saturday on 4/29. Remember to bring your covered dish and BYOB.

Happy Easter.

Happy Easter to the owners of the best fantasy football league and to good friends. See you all in a couple of weeks.

Blog Update

I have updated the blog. I created left and right sidebars, and the main section is our articles. On the Left sidebar will be the NFL links, and on the right sidebar will be league and fantasy links. The poll question will be on the left sidebar so that you all can see it.

I am thinking about simplifying the division names from Titanium/Crimson to something like
Black/Red, or Black/Blue, or Black/Purple, or Black/Gold. I can change the color of the Blog to match the division names this way. The new poll will be which colors you guys want as the Division names. If you don't like these colors leave a comment about the colors you might want and I will add it to the poll. If you guys like it the way it is (Titanium/Crimson) then we will keep it.

The other owner is Boston Beer Works, who I have talked with, and I know he is coming to the party and plans on joining the Blog. So someone else help me out and see if we can get these owners on here. I created this for us and to add depth to our league.

Fantasy Football Issues, that need to be discussed at the Owners meeting 4/29/2006:
These are topics brought up to me by other owners. We will open the floor for discussion about these topics then vote on it. Remember it takes 6 votes to change or implement a rule.

• Franchise player, vs two keeper league and how it affects the draft.
• Bonus Points for long touchdowns (passing, receiving, and rushing)
• increasing the add/drop fees to pay for the CBS sportsline site.
• Quarterback sacks are currently -1 point are we keeping it or doing away with.
• Set up a date for the Draft, so we don't do another weekday night time draft.

Any other topics I missed put in comments so we can read them and prepare for the meeting.
Thanks from the
Commish.
