Jeff Ellm killed his friend in a drunk driving crash and blew his brains out with the gun in the boot of his car at the scene when he realised he had killed his friend.

drd23
do you want to PASS or MATCH on Alvin Kamara?

If you pass, you get Dagless pick 1.07, the $2m tag cost is removed from you cap, Kamara goes to Dagless for 3 yrs.

If you match, you keep Kamara, for 3 yrs, and the 50k winning bid replaces the tag cost on your cap.

 

[Dagless]

I get to pick Kamaras contract years, no?

 

[Exe Gesis]

I get to pick Kamaras contract years, no?

Yep, if Drd23 passes you can choose anywhere between 3-5 yrs. I just make it 3 default for all of them until someone asks for more.

Any 2nds out there?

Support ticket sent to MFL...expecting the usual "thanks for your suggestion, we will look into it for possible inclusion in the future" response which translates as..."not again! we will close this support ticket, never give feedback to you, and wont look into it for future inclusion, please stop bugging us with suggestions to improve our site, our product, just shut up and pay your league fees".

Auction Option

QUESTION:

Please create another option for Auction set up page... - "Winning auction bids charged as a Salary Adjustment" So current player salary would remain, and the winning bid would automatically be a salary adjustment. In our salary cap league we don't want auction bids to replace existing player salaries. We annually update and track salaries and treat auction costs for unrostered free agents like a signing bonus, manually entered as a salary adjustment. It's very time consuming though, having to change the salary back and add the adjustment hundreds of times during the days/weeks. It would be a godsend if that option were available as it would eradicate the entire manual process. Even added right now, as we are in the middle of a two month long auction.

I've got a couple that could be on the table

shiny_on_top you don't have a second round pick in order to bid on Chris Godwin (tagged for a 2nd).

Gonna have to delete the entire Godwin tally and re-bid it as $12m on powerhouse to where it was last at. I wont always know what the previous bid was, so if people can be mindful not to place bids on franchise tagged players if they don't have a corresponding pick.

Needs to be some sort of penalty for this shit. Now ive got to wait 3 days when it was down to 1 day. Having to wait longer so I cant allocate funds elsewhere.

message him GG, he said the tags weren't working for him the other day

Development and writing​

The film was based on an original script by Shane Black. He wrote the script after having taken a two-year break from writing, triggered in part by the end of a relationship. The Geffen Film Company outbid other companies, paying a record $1.75 million for the script, with over a $1 million guaranteed up front. Black later recalled:

I was busy mourning my life and, in many ways, the loss of my first real love. I didn’t feel much like doing anything except smoking cigarettes and reading paperbacks. All things come around. Time passed and eventually I sat down and transformed some of that bitterness into a character, the central focus of a private eye story which became The Last Boy Scout. Writing that script was a very cathartic experience, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I spent so much time alone working on that. Days which I wouldn’t speak. Three, four days where I maybe said a couple words. It was a wonderfully intense time where my focus was better than it’s ever been. And I was rewarded so handsomely ($1.75 million) for that script, it felt like a vindication and like I was back on track.

Roger Ebert, commenting on the script, said "The original screenplay for The Last Boy Scout set a record for its purchase price; that was probably because of the humor of the locker-room dialogue, since the plot itself could have been rewritten out of the Lethal Weapon movies by any film school grad."

Joel Silver was guaranteed $1 million to produce. Silver said in a Q&A for The Nice Guys (2016) that Shane Black's original title was Die Hard. Silver asked if he could take the title for a project he was working on at the time called Nothing Lasts Forever, which eventually became Die Hard (1988).[citation needed]

Shane Black and Tony Scott both said in later years how the original script was far better than the final film.

Bill Simmons and (from memory) Chris Ryan and Sean Hennessy did a Rewatchables on The Last Boy Scout a couple of months ago. Good podcast.

Looks like a heap of auctions have finished early and the highest bidders have won the auctions with 1 year deals

 

[Dagless]

Ya broke it GG

 

[Dagless]

Futakasi has like 16 mins left and no one going to bid on him so…

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Ya broke it GG

Shiny broke it actually

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Futakasi has like 16 mins left and no one going to bid on him so…

Now we can be miserable together, reset to 3 days. Yay.

 

[Dagless]

Ya broke it Shiny

 

[Dagless]

Now we can be miserable together.

Well there’s a tad difference between him and Godwin

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Rule proposal to stop this nonsense moving forward:

If a person resets an auction on someone because they dont check the FT list and their own picks, they are to give the person they reset the auction on the corresponding pick the following year.

It take 30 seconds to check. Its not hard.

If that wont make people check and be more careful nothing will.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

If nobody has bid on a FT player yet and you dont have the required pick youre just very lucky and get away with it. But if someone has, suffer the consequences for being lazy.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

I notice Curtis Samuel is missing , and he was bid on today before it all went today by shiny for 100k.

Might be some others missing perhaps? Try and remember your recent bids.

in order to fix everything, i had to re-add all the submitted bids that were 6+ hrs still left before the **** up.

but i allowed the bids to end that were under 2 hrs....carl lawson, fatawhatever (dagless), raekwon davis and marcus maye.....all of them had minutes left.

but all the rest before the **** up had 6+ hrs, so i removed them all from people's rosters, and re-submitted all the bids....35 of them.

in order to bring the timer back closest to where it was before, all i can do is change the timer to a TWO DAY timer now, and that will have to exist for the rest of the auction...or at least until this lot of current active bids are all won and none left.

so from now on...there's just a two day timer when a new bid is achieved.

i still have to go thru and resubmit the salaries and salary adjustments of the won players....and then make a last sweep to make sure i didnt make any errors or left someone out.
