This is nothing against Smitty, I would have same comments regardless of who the manager was, but he has been up since Friday night 7pm, and your right he is normally not out of touch, but he was online yesterday afternoon.

How much time is needed? Your setting a precedence for the next manager to do the same thing and then what will happen, your going to give >3hr window to one manager but not another? I'm sorry but I think is wrong and goes against the rules that are currently in place. Why do we bother to have a rule but are not enforcing it? Its there to keep things moving along. Proxies are available to be used as well to keep things moving. Perhaps emails/texts would be useful to use to get a draft completed, especially for those who cannot be online as much as others.

And unbeknownest to you, I have sent e-mails and texts to which i have not received a response, which is why I want to wait , cause I think he may be having some personal issue.

And you are right, I WOULD do something similar for each of you in similar circumstances. What is your hurry? All I'm asking is to give him one more day, if he doesn't pick by then I'll move thing along.

This is nothing to do with anyone one person, we have a 3hr rule after 1st round, as do most leagues, and it should be enforced period. If it's not going to be enforced, then why have the rule? Luckily, Smitty has now picked.

I know the rules, I WROTE them. Sometimes, rules need exceptions, sorry that bothers you.

I KNOW the rules to, I READ them, and they were not followed. Why are exceptions needed, he was online yesterday and didn't pick, his 3hr window expired 10:09 am EDT, not tomorrow. I would have picked at 10:10 if I was up and pretty sure others would have as well, been done in our FA draft this year more than a few times. This should have been treated same way. During FA draft, you never once took this same action.

Again, I apologize. I know this is not the proper thread, but this seems to be where the discussion is. Thank you to Bill for the courtesy, but please, in the future, do not hesitate to skip me if it is warranted. I understand the rules and should be penalized if that be the case. I will say, that I do not recall being on yesterday at all, as I was not home. If you are looking at the browser for the discussion boards, I will say that I am always logged on, because I never log off. But, I certainly was not browsing the boards yesterday (unless it was in some drunken stupor, in which case, I am glad I did not make a pick).

Again, Dave, and whomever else was inconvenienced, I do take responsibility and apologize!

You are right, I didn't do it during the Free Agent however, I FREQUENTLY do not enforce the clock during prospect drafts in all my league (ask any who participate) as they have no bearing on getting teams loaded and the games rolling.

Again I'm sorry it offends you so strongly, I just think shit happens to people sometimes and thing can't be helped.

I've been playing a LONG time, and know some of you better than others, I know your draft habits, and know who does and who doesn't make their picks on time. I made an exception, ( that turns out didn't even matter) cause I know Brian (smitty) doesn't just disappear without good reason. I think life is more important than a game, and sometimes life gets in the way.

It's over I'm done talking about it.


Can we just get back to the draft?
