Yinz can count me in.  This year I won't let the damn machine pick my players.

Not committing, mind, but am interested in looking at how this thing works.  What's the address?

A couple comments/requests:

I'm about 90% sure I'll be on the road or away from a computer the afternoon of Sept. 3.  How tied are you to that date and time?

Only 1 IR slot?

I like the 3 individual defensive players.  Cool addition.

I like noon PST of any day between now and then.

Noon PST is fine w/ me.  But I (like all the rest of my fellow state employees) am being furloughed on 9/3, which is also the Friday before Labor Day.  So we're headed to STL a day earlier.

So in.

I'm not a fan of 2 DEF/2 QB in a league of 8-10 (if we get that many).  With 6 teams off in weeks 8 and 9, there's a good chance you can get stuck without two options.  Only 1 of those positions means everyone can carry two if they want, and have a choice to make every week.  RB is different because so many teams play two regularly, so it's possible to have enough options there.

I'm also concerned about having 9 positions to fill and only 6 bench spots.  I hesitate to increase the bench because it's better when more starters are either playing or available, so I'd lean towards reducing the number of positions (cutting TE, DL, LB, and/or DB).

How does the IR slot work?  And is it possible to change how the can't-cut list works?  I remember some people getting owned by that last time.

We've only got 4 players.  C'mon folks!  We need at least a couple more.

I'm in as the Habaneros.  I may edit that if something more awesome springs to mind.  I think the radchili password influenced my choice.
