If any of you guys want to chat, I'm on AIM. We could get a chat room going.

Expansion Draft

Will be Wednesday, what time are you guys free?
We're gonna do it over AIM, because it's MUCH easier. Also, anyone can come and chat.

Who's doing stats? I'm making an Excel document that has the names, and stat names?

Finally, Mike, can I have the rosters? Or should I wait till the Salaries, and the expansion draft?

Draft Results!

Can you all open that?
IMO
Best Draft: Memphis
Worst: Pearl City(Kevin, you're silly)


When are C of Red, and Throwback free for the Expansion Draft?

Draft Tonight?

Well I'm assuming we are still doing this tonight. I'm not positive what Mykl wanted for the times but this is what I was thinking.

8:30 eastern
7:30 central
6:30 mt. west

I think that's all the time zones we need to know. Um, can everybody comment to confirm they will be here. Also I need BJ, mburmy/boneheadz, and kevins IM, I know Mykl has Kevin and mburmys but I would like to know who everyone is that will be there.

I'm drafting for TC also Mykl, so that shoud take all the load he and C of Red put on you, off your shoulders.

Rookie WR/TE for Draft

Some good WRs in the Draft, Joey Galloway and Bobby Ingram have the potential to be a franchise player, especially Joey Galloway, at 90 overall I wouldn't be surprised to see him go in the Top 2. Amani Toomer and Ashley Lelie are also preety big NFL names, some college rookies like Texas' Quan Cosby, Duke's Eron Riley, and Notre Dame's David Grimes, who btw is the Player I used for my WR Action Template.
Tight Ends, big name in Bubba Franks, also 2 college stars for Alabama, Nick Walker and Travis McCall.

Alabama Gladiators present Summer Season Uniforms

Well the Gladiators made some tweaks to their uniforms for the 2009 Summer Season. They decided to ditch the Red Helmet/Red pants, they could be worn with another Red out game or maybe with the White jerseys. The Shoulders have numbers like the Red out/Playoff jerseys had, the Black helmets are worn with every set now, making a Black-Out Alternate Home, and the Away Alt. would be worn with white pants, which are a new addition as well.

Home Jersey

Away Uniform

Alternate Home Uniform (Black-Out)

Alternate Away Uniform

Seeing that we are most likely doing TAtC this year I went ahead and made mine, the Helmet is supposed to be a Gladiator Helmet, and mainly a large scale of the Logo, the Jerseys are modeled after Gladiator Armor, with a small number placed on the Chest, and the numbers on the back are larger scale on the Shoulder blades armor type area. I really didnt know what to do for the pants, since gladiators wore skirt looking things, so I just kept them silver. Oh and the Under Armor logo is the same color as the jersey but placed in the middle on the darker "fabric" of the jersey. So it would be visible.

TAtC Uniform

Draft Date set for May 28th or 29th

Okay most people said they can do it Thursday the 28th, the ones who cannot are Kevin, C of Red, and TC. Now that would be a good turnout, 7 out of 10 owners but we would of course like it better if everyone could join, C of Red said it would be better for him to draft on Friday the 29th.
Can everyone else do it next friday? Or is Thursday better. We need everyone to reply to this post, and if it turns out it is better for everyone to do it Thursday, TC and C of Red need to pick out someone they trust to draft for them and tell them what positions they would like, I can do this for either/or both of you if you'd like.

Championship logo concept

So since my first idea didn't turn out as good at I thought, I tried it again. I would've done the Badgers colours, but it didn't look good in this, so I changed it to a sand ish colour. I added some green just to make it pop.Based off...

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3051/2528696776_1fa9d371e8.jpg

C&C I feel this is heading in the right direction. What should I add in empty space?

Colour Options...

The first colours wern't doing it for me, so I made some options. I'll still add to the logo if you all like.

Leaf Suspended 5 games!

Breaking News Story on Espn.
Here is the link: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4196444

"CANYON, Texas -- Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf has been indicted by a Randall County grand jury on drug and burglary charges.

The indictment handed up Wednesday in Canyon charged the 33-year-old former San Diego Chargers quarterback and former West Texas A&M quarterbacks coach with one count of burglary to a habitation, seven counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud and one count of delivery of a simulated controlled substance."

Suspensions do come into play this season, and this look's like the Playoff MVP could be handed a suspesion, it is un-clear how many games yet, as we will moniter the situation some more. I will check out NFL cases like this and see how many games players in these situations get suspended.

A sad day for the Reigning Champs, and their Star Player. Leaf is an 86 overall which is the highest rating among all Active QBs in the league.

After Analyzing the situation Leaf will be handed a 5 game Suspension, he must serve this suspension for the first 5 games of the season next year. If Leaf is sentenced to jail time he will be suspended indefinately meaning he will not be allowed to play until his release and re-instatement. Kordell Stewart is the current backup for the Aces, he is a 79 rating.

Runnigbacks/Fullbacks available for Draft

Well here are the top rookie Runningbacks, topped off by Ed James, 88 overall and unless he goes #2, I could see him falling too early 2nd Round, very good Runningback Class, and most will be filling up the Free Agent pool. Some Notables coming out of College, Ian Johnson from Boise State, Brad Lester from Auburn, Kestahn Moore from Florida, Shun White from Navy, and Jesse Chatman from NC State.

HB
1. Edgerrin James/ 89
2. Deuce McAllister/ 83
3. Dominic Rhodes/ 83
4. Correl Buckhalter/ 82
5. Ahman Green/ 82

12. Kestahn Moore/ 78
13. Shun White/ 78
14. Chris Brown/ 78
15. Travis Minor/ 77
16. Jesse Chatman/ 77

There are some good Fullbacks coming into the Draft this year, and that's a position that is kind of weak in the MLF, but they don't play as big of a role as other players. Jorvorskie Lane is a guy you want for size, the Texas A&M star is
5'11 295, he's not fast but I guarntee he will be perfect for goal line situations, other notable College Rookies, Brannan Southerland from Georgia, and Jason Cook from Ole Miss.

I'll post the Wide Recievers and Tight Ends tommarow, I'm not going to keep posting the Current Roster Players because it takes too long, I have updated all the rosters, with ratings and stuff so if yall leave your e-mails I'll send you a Roster Folder, of course it will change after the Draft so I can send updated ones by then but yall need to know what you might want to do for the draft especially people who may not can make it.

Draft Date

Alright Beast said he could do it next tuesday or thursday, obviously if there is a better time for everyone else we should go with it, I dont think I can do it this Saturday, I have exams tommarow and thursday, My parents are having a yard sale friday and saturday morning so I'll prolly have to help with that. Sunday - Monday, I'm having family from out of town coming, we are supposed to have a big cookout and I'm having some friends over. So right now next Thursday would probably be the best time for me, or any day after that.

Everyone Needs to post a day and time they may be available next week, once we get a good idea of when everyone can do it we will set a date.

Now it may be were a couple people can not make it too the draft, but I would be happy to draft for you if you like, I promise I will take players you need and at the best caliber or if you rather someone else than you may ask them as well.

TAtC Week!

nlomm21 (11:20:48 PM): Or are we having another retro week? I could do the pols jerseys
Mtbuc (11:22:13 PM): ahah idk
nlomm21 (11:23:01 PM): OMG, even better, we should do a TATC week this year

So we're gonna have a week that we wear futuristic uniforms. We'll do this instead of retro week.

Mykl out.

Also draft this weekend. We need to do it soon. My draft wood from the NFL draft has worn off.

Fans

Should we recruit some board members to become fans of the league, and possible owners?

Salary Cap System

Okay so basically all I did was tweak Mykl's Salary System, for one thing we wont have limits on players, because this will work to where you if your team is loaded with a ton of 85+ guys, your salary will go over the limit. Now no team should be at the 180 limit right now, because all the teams are very average, but after the draft it will go up, I've tested this out on my roster, it is 151 right now, but also know I only have 48 players on my team at the moment and have 2 roster spots to fill.

As far as filling the roster goes, almost every team has 50 players, that is all that the Madden roster allows on a team, so if you have 50 players, and you draft 4 players in each round (I know not everyone has 4 picks but it is the primary example), to sign each player you would have to release 4 players, if you have 3 QBs and you draft one, you would have 4, you can only have 3 QBs so you must release 1 of those players.

Now if you have alot of points taken, you may not be able to sign every draft pick, the only teams I see that possibly happening too is mine or mykls at the moment.

Signing Free Agents will be a very simple system, each team may bid on a player, now say and 80 overall guy is a free agent, you must bid at least 4 points on him, that's the minimal, but you can bid more on them and that's how we figure out which team get's him. The player is taken by the highest bid after the free agent signing period ends unless someone puts a bid on a player and everyone else announces they dont want too bid on that player then he can sign after say 3 days or so.
Salary Cap system – Roster Max. 50 (180)
Overall..........................Points
90+....................................10
85-89..................................5
80-84.................................4
79-70..................................3
69-......................................1

Okay so I'll go through and figure out each team's salary, I'm sure there will be some questions, so just comment.

Draft

Saturday at 9 eastern time?

If that works, everyone must check into me with an aim account before then.

Edit by Big Mike:
We are going to have to wait till next weekend sometime, just tell any days you may be available

Happy Birthday!!!

To Kenan Thompson of Nickelodeon and SNL fame!!! He turns 31 today!!! It is also my second grade teacher Mrs. J's birthday!!! Happy birthday to her!!!

Oh, and I think it's Mykl's birthday. Happy birthday to him. =D

Travis Henry on the Block

The Tropics have placed Travis Henry on the trading block. The Trops are asking a good amount for him. Send a facebook message or a PM to sizemore to workout a deal.

Draft board/logo announced

So here's a big draft board for us to use to keep track of picks.
I kept Memphis with their first rounder since I think he should still get it after signing Harrell.

MLF CHampionship Game 2

What colours should I use for the logo?

Vikings, Wild, or T-Wolves.

Maybe Gophers?

Or should I just do a random one like the first game?(the LA Galaxy colours)

How's this?

Harrell Works out with Kings

So with he deal reached this week, Graham Harrell is the new starting quarter back for the Memphis Kings.
Here's a pic with fellow Memphis quarter back Dave Ragone at the King's last practice.

...
So, how'd I do for my first photoshopping?
