[quote:6e140113df="he's meat"]this is RUDE, especially when its the same guilty parties constantly. this is why I love/HATE live drafts. it's the absolute best and fairest way to create teams, and in many ways better than playing the season, because you make all the decisions, and can only be fouled up by the competiton or your own hasty or hesitant decisions. but it only takes one or two negligent owners to make 9 or 10 wait all day! blows. takes all the fun out of it. I'm around almost all day, and on a computer at work, so I could pick everything live, but if im away, I make sure I set plenty of proxies...what's the use? :roll:[/quote:6e140113df]
Come on Meat.. :? cut us NEGLIGENT owners some slack...You say in your message you are around all day and could do it live....That is great for you, but everyones situation is different...I have 18 employees that I constantly deal with all day long and do not have the luxury of getting on the computer much at work unless it is for a report of some kind or something dealing with work...I made 5 proxies...more than I really wanted to make as the draft changes from pick to pick...When it comes to me I have one left sitting there (Canseco) and nothing for the next until I have time to check in again...As a FILL-IN manager I am definately NOT negligent but am doing the best I can with my time alotted...If that is rude so be it...If you are so darn antsy to know your team right away, watch the boards and jump in leagues as the 12th owner in an auto draft and you'll get your team that nite...Otherwise, cut us a little slack and relax :wink:
