Rachel Nichols sat down for a Q & A with the league creator:

Rachel: So what is a bubble for these Offensive lines and Defenses?

Faceless person with computer voice (FPWCV): The bubble allows you to select lets say the 1998 Broncos. You are allowed up-to 11 years around your dream year in mind. You could select 1995-2005 Broncos. You don't have to designate what year you will use. This gives you salary cap flexibility and you can block anyone from having those years. You also can claim less years if you chose such as the 2019-2025 Ravens.

Rachel: Novel concept.

FPWCV: Um, not really. You state specifically what it is.

Rachel: Does the bubble burst?

FPWCV: No, you could just think of it as a calligram. But it doesn't burst sweetie.

Rachel. Darn. But I like those telegrams that we used to see on Bonanza.

FPWCV: I like western style shows of that era. But that's a completely different thing, but an image I suppose.

Camera man: Someone is having a case of the Mondays.

Rachel: so when you ban a great Defense? do you just pick the years you want? Is it also 11 years?

FPWCV: Now, that is a good question. No, you must ban an Offensive Line or Defense only by decade, 10 years total. Otherwise no ban votes would match up with other owners. Say you want to ban the 50s Rams. You would submit 1950-59 Rams OL as your ban.

Rachel: We gotta wrap this up.

FPWCV: yes indeed.

We try. I mean they try. Here is the latest news from our freelance reporter Joey:



Joey Greco: Various owners were contacted for a LDL reboot. Some have resurfaced, others have not. We hope to bring the live draft spirit back to the game. We have private investigators out in the streets looking for clues. We have set up surveillance in every nook, cranny, and crevice of the WIS gaming world. I am determined to rekindle the love shared of LDL.

Naysayer riding by on his bike: Eat it Joey! Nice soul patch.

Joey: Why don't you stop and say it to my face?! Ya sissy!

Joey (returns to face the camera in a calm and soothing voice): Sorry folks. Never know what you might get 'round here.

Camera man: Would you like cut the segment and restart? We edit it out.

Joey: I'm vintage baby. None of me goes on the cutting room floor.

Camera man (speaking slowly and holding back a smile): Fair point Mr. Greco. You are the king of live.

Joey: I am. I put the Live in Live Draft League. We will keep an eye out for new and old owners to finalize the facts for our case. I am both dedicated to the faithful, and presented to the false-hearted to encourage their renewal of temperance and virtue.

Gomez (via Joey's ear piece): We have the van in position.

Joey: Alright patrons, we are now racing onsite to find a jubilant crowd in an uproar. People are yelling for player and unit bans! And their love lost to other owners with the same lover.

Rowdy woman: I want my roster to be mine Joey. Instead you got Gronk on TV lookin bored and surrounded by old dudes. You got my Aaron on Jeopardy reading answers to questions. Crazy Legs must have 20 legs for all I know, he is on 10 different open league teams at a time. Where does he have the time? Betrayin me like dat.

Joey: I understand. We will get you sorted out. All the support you need darlin. Live Draft. Bans. Exclusivity that you rightfully deserve.
