It was. Started out with dog park at 230 am. Then 38 miles on the bike. Then a trip to the gym and grocery store before starting the draft at 10am. I'm a lunatic and refuse to grow up.

Looks like everyone has been recently engaged with the sitemails (checking them). Haven't seen cellkev in a handful of days though.

We voted the banned round in again, but it can be a bit anti-climactic on day 1. Food for thought going-forward. We will get caught up. Everyone can post before 10am tomorrow. If any not rec'd by that time, we use the highest first rounders from season 3 not banned yet (as we have in a couple instances before).

****Reworded the last sentence. Incorrectly said the bans vice first rounders to be used for missed ban picks. Will post examples in a forthcoming post prior to the start of Round 1. Season 3 First rounders will be used if we have bans to fill for Season 4******

My local dog park ain't open at 230am. Ditto for every other dog park I know. I guess I live in hicksville? Don't tell my dog there are parks open then... he will beg to go!

We have 4 that we can walk to within 10-15 mins. I do live in a never sleep community with great weather year-round. I'm a night owl and like to bike when there is less people out and the sun is down. Goal of 3000 miles by end of calendar yr. At 2463 now.

Reset on what is pending from today: .

6- riverratk- pending late ban pick
13-riverratk- pending late ban pick
14-tidealer- pending late ban pick
16- spaolo- pending late ban pick
19- tidealer- pending late ban pick
22- cellkev- pending late ban pick
23- jfg1997- pending late ban pick
24- coolmay_one- pending late ban pick

I sitemailed the first 6 at 9pm. Will follow up now and add the last 2 needed. I know a few of these folks wanted the double ban and I think tidealer is a West coaster, so today may have been a yawner of sorts. No pun intended!

I will ban WR Antonio Brown.

RB Barry Sanders

To fill any late ban picks by 10AM this morning, we will use the first rounders from season 3 not currently banned. This stays consistent with the last 2 drafts:

Season 2 example:

5- Petroff 730pm- RB Marshall Faulk- per proxy from season 1- highest 1st rounder not banned yet.

Season 3 example:

4- 666ace- 1962 Dallas Texans & 1963-72 Kansas City Chiefs OL (per proxy of highest season 2 first rounder not currently banned)

Will sitemail this to everyone now. Get your late ban posted before 10am or it will be filled per above.

On to the good stuff with Round 1 today!

Give me 10 mins and I’ll have round 1 open

Open for drafting! Cross-check the banned/drafted topic to ensure your pick is available.

1960-70 GB Packers OL

Pick #2: 1984-1994 Bears Defense

QB Justin Herbert

DEF
San Diego Chargers
1989-1999

The proxy bans certainly altered the way we will approach our first round picks in this draft! Small sample size if we were to remove the banned round. Impactful for sure. Herbert that early! Didn't expect that, but I understand kaniac's metrics there. Fun stuff.

I will be away from my laptop for a few hours this afternoon, so I will update with my phone as time permits. I haven't been able to sitemail with my phone since WIS had that hacker incident. So, please sitemail if you can to the next couple owners after you post your selection. I'll have all topics fully updated by late afternoon.
