Fantasy Football Keepers?

So I have a question for each of you in preparation for the Lodge Fantasy Football League draft that is scheduled for next Thursday, August 28th at 9PM PST. Should we introduce keepers into the league? I am for it, since I do believe these 10 teams are people that can be counted on (Yes, even you MCP) and it would add a cool element to draft strategy.

C-Town, John & The Dude still aren't in the league. If any of you talk to them. Please get them signed up before the draft next week. Thanks.

If we vote and decide to include that wrinkle -- Do we say a team can keep 2 players at the end of the year? If it's 2 keepers -- Do we say that you keep them in the round you drafted them (with 3 year contracts)? Or do we just say 2 keepers, no round forfeiting? Obviously there needs to be a vote and then ideas thrown around for it to work. But I love the idea of this working. Please comment and give your opinions.

Hey there,

Would you mind downloading that Cowboys Cheerleader pick instead of hotlinking to it?

Yeah Joe...Jeez, what a schmuck.

I'd feel bad except anyone who posts a picture of a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader obviously has a "Crack Whore" fetish.

As for the keeper leauge, I am on the fence. Its interesting however I like the New Fresh team each year. But since we are a smaller league lets give it a shot.

I say yes.

I'm in for a keeper league. I would like to keep it to only one player. I don't think it should count against your next years draft pick.

As For Mr. Lee... Well Said. Joe's been riding bandwidth way to long... This aggression will not stand.

Sorry, Lee. Changed. Bandwidth isn't the only thing I ride regularly though. [RIMSHOT!]

Train, you hear from Jimbo, Dude, or Shawn on this subject? Only 7 days until the draft.

I spoke with Jimbo last night. He's interested in a keeper league. Dude and Shawn were a no show last night.

Can I keep two players from my team last year?

....shiza....draft this Thursday night. I've gotta get my shit together man. I'll discuss with Jimbo and The Dude at bowling on Wednesday night....and I'll confirm with JV as well.

No, we would draft this year with 2 keepers in mind.

Please confirm with JV and let me know.

I'm down wit it...just as long as I don't have to pick them before the season...Lamont Jordan would still be on my squad if that were the case...

We would draft with keepers in mind... and before the draft next year, submit the 2 players we'd want to keep.

I also submit that draft order should be in reverse order of standings from the final standings from the year before. Anybody second that motion?

Hey guys...remember me? So I have to be a douche and miss the draft tonight...I didn't realize I was double booked and I can't miss my prior obligation. So we have 2 options:

1. Jordan can draft a team in my absence.
2. I skip this years draft.

Sorry to throw this out there at the last minute...It's uber-not cool, I realize.
