6. Koren Robinson
7. Trent Green
8. Shannon Sharpe
9. Tom Brady
10. Ashley Lelie
11. James Stewart
12. Jimmy Smith
13. Steelers D/ST
14. Brad Johnson
15. Quincy Morgan
16. Jeff Wilkins

Hopefully I'll kill everyone w/ this roster. Though it's such a small league most people have pretty good rosters as well. I'm light on QB's, but really good at everything else.

With that said, I don't know if I want to do any "throw some friends together leagues" any more. My friend Ben is the comissioner of the league, and he thinks he's going to win this year no prob. Of course the winner gets $$. Well in the 5th round he didn't pick in time and the computer auto-drafted for him. He was furious. He went off saying, forget it, I'm not playing this, I quit.

Of course, I rail into him about how I spent a lot of time doing research and he's just gonna up and quit because he didn't draft in time? That's the rules!! He also told us before the draft that we should pre-rank our players in case this thing came up! Then he told everyone not to draft the guy he really wanted, but someone did anyway, so he really got mad then. I couldn't believe he was being such a baby. We went back and forth, he couldn't believe I was so upset, I called him a few names. :)

Come to find out he thought the computer didn't draft *anyone* in the 5th round for him. So finally he figures it out and starts drafting again. Ugh. I can understand if you think the computer didn't give you a pick at all, but at least say so. All of us are like, what's going on, do we even have a league now? Until he finally figures it out.

It seems every time I do a live draft, something screwed up happens. Someone always doesn't show up, and someone always can't figure out the way the live draft app works and they get pissed and quit before the season even starts. Nothing is worse than playing w/ people who don't care. Where's the fun in that?

I shouldn't be surprised though, it's typical Ben. It's all about him, me, me me, "my god why don't people understand me?!?!" Blech. I think I'm sticking to my keeper league from now on.

UPDATE: Ben appologized by changing his name from the "Winning Griffins" to the "Whining Griffins". Well, at least he knows he's a whiney bitch. ;)
