Hey, Jim! I forgot to tell you that my coach name is Armchair. Yeah, dumb name. I took a lot of grief for that name over in the college football game Gridiron Dynasty. At the time, I thought I'm not a real football coach, I'm an armchair coach, so the name seemed appropriate. Can't change it now.

Hi all. I’m Jim, a friend of Doug’s and I’m going to try this out. I’m claiming the Steelers. Still figuring out the draft functions but should have my team ready to go tomorrow.

Welcome JimMSU and the Pittsburgh Steelers!

We are full as of now! We just wait to see if the Giants are joining. If not, I have it covered with one of my teams. If we can get both teams submitted by tomorrow afternoon and work through any edits, I can realign the divisions before the 11pm WIS schedule run tomorrow night. Everything would be viewable by 1130pm Sunday with the schedule and you can see everyone's rosters.

Steelers already in the league! Sitemail sent on roster edits needed.

FYI- My primary team will be the Panthers. Switching that now.

I am pulling the Jets. I'll put them back should we not get the Giants. Only room for 1 NYC team! I know they both play their games and share a stadium in Jersey. My Jets prefer Shea in Queens anyways!

Cool history.
Welcome here.

Divisions finalized. Flipped the NFC East and NFC West teams from the original design. Made more sense. Goal is always to spread the 2 team owners out where they are not in same division in both conferences.

This is how it will look when the league launches late Sunday night-- today at approximately 1130pm ET.

AFC East
Dolphins-WhoCaresAnym
Giants or J-E-T-S.

*Kneecaps' Devourers (changed name ;)

If you require the actual city or team name in it I'll change it to: Lions Devouring Kneecaps
On 2nd thought, I changed it to that now.

Sorry, guys. My friend who wanted to claim the Giants is not going to make it in this season, but he says he is very interested and will join next season.

Awh shucks. :(

Thanks for the update Armchair.

For JimMSU, he has a few edits to make. Can you see if he checked his sitemail? He is new to WIS and might not have his personal email connected to sitemail just yet.

after those edits, we can get started today.,

sitemail sent on how to get back to the draft center for those edits

We are set and ready to go. Divisions updated and viewable. Schedule will be out at 1130pm ET tonight. And you can view all the rosters and set up your general team settings, depth chart, and offensive/defensive settings for each down/distance.

Thank you for making this happen!

Franchise Dreams II:

FINAL draft order to select your franchise for season 2. The tiebreakers (teams with same record at end of regular season) are awarded to the team with lowest offensive points per game in season 1.

I will update every couple days until game 16 is complete. We can start this drafting process upon completion of the regular season (off the clock). We will give you a maximum of 24 hours to make your selection based on the timestamp of the last selection. If you miss the window, we move to the next selection, but you can pick at anytime. After everyone gets 1 franchise selected, we will open it up to new owners and anyone wanting a 2nd franchise.

Any new owners wanting to get in can reserve a spot now. This guarantees you a franchise after these 17 selections are made.

The list order is subject to change after each game and will be final after game 16 is completed.

FINAL- You may select anytime after the owner before you makes their selection OR after the 24 hour window expires at 6 pm each day.

1-WhoCaresAnym- May select a franchise now.
2-JimMSU- next up at 6pm Wednesday
3-jfg1997
4-captainkhaki
5-winnerpeg
6-gyrene
7-Witeout43
8-zacttack
9-nato6869
10-tidealer
11-greenberet
12-coolmay_one
13-seay00
14-Armchair
15-PsychoWarper
16-milest
17-danpsull71

Unless 1 - 4 wants it I'll keep the Detroit Lions.
Will try a different strategy with them.
Baltimore Ravens are available.

We will give this until Friday at midnight for the top 10 to make their selections. The number 2 and 6 have already opted out. So just post what you want like winnerpeg. No order required.

And at 1201am Saturday, it’s open to the 11-17 and anyone wanting to get in. I was trying out a new idea. Worth a try.

I will post the league in the theme leagues listings Saturday and send you the league number.

NFL29170 is open to add your team for next season. I will update here on what teams are taken. So far, just the Lions are reserved.

If you are a potential new owner, feel free to grab a team now. You can post here to claim your franchise. Get in before the current playoff owners will at Saturday 1201 am ET. See the rules on page 1 of this forum for the roster distribution of your franchise-- The history for all 32 teams and the breakdown for the 23 roster spots. 70 mil cap. No clones. 1 franchise exclusive to you.

Detroit Lions- winnerpeg
