I think they'd be great additions. Has to be a better way to reach them than tagging in a post though.

Ask via twitter for next mailbag?

I've heard showing up in ones bedroom unannounced is an effective method

Actually hiding under the sink is a much classier move

The corner of the shower with steam covered windows is the definition of classy

Ah yes, the European Technique is quite popular in some circles.

[PuRock]

Looks like you guys could use some help filling this thing out.  

Time has been tight, but I'll make time to play again. 

Now the part I hate, determing the all important team name.

I hope Downing and Mink play just for the hell of it.  That would be fun.

As in Garret and Ryan? I didn't even know they are on here.

Would any of you moderators or Ravens.com writers be interested in participating in the Draft a Franchise game? It is basically a snake-style draft where we build a NFL team.

I would love to...  but...  I am already in about 4 other fantasy leagues.  I have a hard time keeping up with what I've got now.  That being said, I may drop out of one to do it.  I've never done any of the games with you guys. I'll let you know in the next few days.

This isn't really fantasy football as we create a whole team compared to the typical fantasy set up. No scoring either (someone may rank the teams for fun though), but it definitely is a fun experience and you end up learning about player around the league too.

6 spots left everyone. We can do this

Interesting that in the DAF that was done in 2013, somebody selected Tyrain Mathieu in the later rounds.

Here's the kicker:

@ravensdan hated the pick.

Thank you, but no.  Just can't get into fantasy sports.  I'm the real deal all the way.

I did. I would say I was probably more wrong about Mathieu than any other prospect. He's been much better on and off the field than I thought he'd be. 

 

I think ink that's the year I rolled with Gino at center too. Oops. I know I had Calais Campbell!

Well that's just a given

I still remember my first year playing and I picked Ray Rice in the first round... Rough times

We still have a few spots left in this game if you would like to participate. It's a great way to pass the dead time in football and learn more about players around the league.

You are all pretty active members on the board so I was wondering if you would be interested in participating this, the Draft a Franchise game. Basically, it is a snake style draft where we build a NFL team.

If you are interested, the signup thread is here:

I think Crush just invited anyone who has ever had an account on this board....

I'd like to introduce @Mt. Crushmore, spam officer

[Mt. Crushmore]

I just want to get to 32 teams and get this started. Unfortunately, we may have to go without 32 

[ludy51]

I say we start on Sunday. With or without a full 32
