2008 Season - Week 10
Trading Day 2
Trading Day 2 will be before the week 11 fixtures this Sunday November 16th. We will trade at 4:30pm before the Sky doubleheader and this will set your line-up for the rest of the season. After then the only way you will get to change your team is if one of your players is placed on injured reserve. New available players are attached. The rules are the same as Trading Day 1: we’ll give up any players we wish in the order of lowest scoring owner to highest. Then the lowest owner will select 1 replacement player followed by second lowest and so on. Once the highest scorer has selected a replacement player we return to the lowest and so on until all rosters are full again. You may select players dropped by others but you must end trading with a legal squad (1 x Coach, 1 x Kicker, 1 x QB, 2 x RB, 3 x Receivers). If you cut a Franchise player you must still pay him until his contract is up. A coin toss will be used to decide who picks first between John and Chief. And so the Trading order will be:- 1 Ron, 2 Cheryl, 3 Marcus, 4 George, 5 Aaron, 6 and 7 John or Chief (coin flip), 8 Daz, 9 Mark H, 10 AP, 11 Mark B, 12 Johnny, 13 Dave G, 14 David S, 15 Andy H & 16 Wayne. If you intend to come to HQ please let me know as Hall of Famer Cheryl will be cooking. If you intend to trade but can’t get here let me know & we’ll work out the best way either by email or phone. If you don’t want to trade, don’t do anything. After Trading Day 2 if any player is placed on IR then they can be replaced on a BUMS roster by a free agent. Remember if it’s a franchise player you still have to pay him if you cut him.
New England v New York Jets
Week 11 starts with The Jets at The Pats on Thursday evening. As this is before Trading Day 2 if you cut a Jet or Patriot you’re replacement player will not start for you until week 12. If you sign a Jet or Patriot they will not join your team until week12 so the players you are cutting will remain on your roster for week 11.
Owners Hall of Fame
The rules are simple - each year one owner (past or present) will be honoured by the current owners. All you have to do is email me the name of the owner you wish to place in the Hall of Fame, Owners Wing. If you’re 1 of the 6 who haven’t voted please email me your vote by November 16th (this Sunday). REMEMBER YOU MAY NOT VOTE FOR YOURSELF. BUMS on Seats.
So we will be at HQ on Sunday evening for Trading Day 2 followed at 6pm by Chicago @ Green Bay followed by San Diego @ Pittsburgh with Denver @ Atlanta and Tennessee @ Jacksonville on the red button. It’s HQ again on Monday from 6:30pm for another key NFC East Sunday Night game as Romo returns for Dallas @ Washington.
