Does Anyone want to do a Draft and Hold League?

[Patioboater]

5x5 draft-and-hold with weekly transactions is probably my preference. But, really, whatever works for everybody else is fine with me: 5x5, points, bizarro 9x9 combinations, 45-player active rosters with a 10-relief-pitcher requirement and six catchers, whatevs, as long as we do it in a reasonable slow-draft format like the one we just finished, so that I can pay attention to work when I need to and draft when I get a chance.

Whatever the format I will crush you all, see you driven before me, and hear the lamentations of your women.

(Or maybe I'll end up nailed to a tree in a desert, now that I think about what happens to Conan after he says that. In the year 2020 I shouldn't discount the downside scenario.)

What OT's best friend said, minus the "I will crush you" part.

He's not just my friend. HE'S MY BEST FRIEND!

I humbly suggest that, in a day or two, after we have all PMd circle, that (a) he start a new thread in the Unclassified Ads forum to fill out any unclaimed spots, and (b) he, or someone else, start a new league thread in the Straight Drafting forum so we have a place to post irrelevant observations, complaints, and discussions of whether "best friend" is a title or a tier.

Man, besides this one, I did two for Todd Zola and my H2H league drafted. So I've done four with three more to go. That may be enough for me.

But it was fun, and in fact, it was the most enjoyable draft I've ever had. So ask me in a few days!

You're gonna play, OT. You're gonna play, OT. ......................

I am in for whatever is decided..

In lieu of drafting yet another league, might I suggest we all fly over to jolly Ole' England and enter into this must-see, bucket list event:

We can all submit two names who we'd most like to give a "head start nudge" to, in order to let them get the lay of the land, so to speak. Thoughts?

I vote that we 'nudge' OT on the flight over

I'm no ratings expert, but I'd be amazed if tonight's NFL Round 1 doesn't get more eyeballs than Game 7 of the 2019 World Series.

I dont think it will go that high. But it could possibly be in the ballpark. 20 - 22 million?

2019 game 7 had 23+ million viewers

Last years day one of the draft did 11 million

15.6 Million across the 3 networks - ABC, ESPN, and NFL Network

up 37%

Last year 11.1 Million

Last night was a record by the way. So id say everyone is very happy

Previous highest 2014 draft - Manziel draft

I'm up for another draft - 5X5 works for me if Fantrax can only do points.

Lar',

Doesn't that figure include ESPN Desportes and any streaming platforms?

[circle360]

Yes it does Rich

Just like rounds 2 and 3 averaged 8.2 million viewers across ABC, ESPN, NFL NETWORK, ESPN Deportes, & Digital.

That's up 40% from 2019

I’m gonna pass on this one guys. Gonna take a rest & recharge my mind. Thanks again for the Fantrax league & good luck everyone. Stay safe!

Lineups lock five minutes before the start of the first game, right?
