- Well, I know you didn't get that job offer from the Bills... -- nm - David Aug 28, 08:09 2
  - HA! -- nm - Diva Aug 28, 08:10 1

Aww look, the Cavemen are almost halfway done with their draft, how cute is that?? Keep it going, guys, you can do it!! -- nm - samara Aug 28, 07:48 33
- I'm not gonna get worked up about it, but this is definitely my last year in Cavemen. I'm sure someone else will love the 5 day draft. -- nm - Inigo Aug 28, 07:53 23
  - *shrug* last year the draft went quickly and we had no issues. This years several people had extenuating circumstances causing delays - decline Aug 28, 07:59 5
    - Last year was the outlier. This is the Caveman gold standard. If it's for you, great. But it's no longer my jam. -- nm* - Inigo Aug 28, 08:15
    - By Day 3, there should draft cards for everyone. Like...the excuse it was an uncertain start time has long passed. - Will Hunting Aug 28, 08:02

    - word. -- nm - groiny Aug 28, 08:00
  - I volunteered many years ago to move to Caveman. -- nm - amoxy Aug 28, 07:58
  - I mean, I am sure my bosses would not mind me whipping out my phone mid meeting to take a pick. -- nm - groiny Aug 28, 07:58 13
    - 24 people in 2 other leagues managed to draft in 40 hours. Some of those folks were working as well. Preparation isn’t hard. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 28, 08:33 1
      - and then again, some of them weren't -- nm - groiny Aug 28, 08:33
    - that's why you build a list. -- nm - Reagen Aug 28, 08:27 10
      - it is like a day between my picks, and I make my 2 picks in like 10 minutes. - groiny Aug 28, 08:31 1
        
        That’s great and all, but nonetheless... - Super Daddy Princess Aug 28, 08:48
      - I do not want to. - groiny Aug 28, 08:30 7
        
        I hate them to. Lists don't account for runs on positions. - Beaker Aug 28, 08:32
        
        then continue to enjoy being glared at for this. -- nm - Reagen Aug 28, 08:31 5
        
        frankly, I don't give a fuck. - groiny Aug 28, 08:32 4
        
        That's fine for you but less great for 11 other people. All Kim and I do with these leagues is think of others. We're only asking for the same. -- nm - David Aug 28, 08:36 3
        
        to be clear, are you singling me out for not drafting at 8:00 am this morning? - groiny Aug 28, 08:37 1
        
        See below. No one is singled out. We're having a neutral discussion about the social contract. -- nm - David Aug 28, 08:39
        
        (And I say that without any combativeness or irritation. It's just how the situation looks from the meta-perspective.) -- nm - David Aug 28, 08:37
  - this is half the fun of being a Caveman! -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 07:57
  - I am glad I moved on to Astronauts when I had the chance! -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 07:54
- If people in Cavemen could see the look in Kim's eyes right now, they'd legitimately wet themselves. -- nm - David Aug 28, 07:50 8
  - She's so mad that she wrote in all blue! -- nm - Inigo Aug 28, 08:20 2
    - I mean, if they're going to ignore the nice Kawai request from yesterday, it's time for blue. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 28, 08:24 1
      - I would have gone red. -- nm - Inigo Aug 28, 08:25
  - #notallcavemen -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Aug 28, 07:57 1
    - Believe me, Kim and I treasure those of you who are respectful of your fellow players. -- nm - David Aug 28, 07:57
  - Odds on SuperFeud completing their draft before Cavemen? -- nm - samara Aug 28, 07:55 1
    - This. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 08:17
  - Stop 🛑 the draft, then put all remains players on a 2 day waiver wait. Each Caveman team would have to put 50+waiver claims in. - Flavorize Aug 28, 07:55

- Don't jinx it -- nm - amoxy Aug 28, 07:30
- Strongbad, NWBR x 2, Strongbad, ML samara, me -- nm* - Beaker Aug 28, 07:29 1
  - NWBR is up -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Aug 28, 07:34
Fun fantasy football tidbit: In 2006, if you took away LT's rushing and receiving yards, he was still the RB10 for the year. -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 07:23 2
- 31 combined TDs—unreal -- nm - Flavorize Aug 28, 07:47 1
  - 33. He had 2 passing TDs -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 07:50

- Puff, puff, pass. -- nm - Baron Universe Aug 28, 07:21
Parliament has been prorogued -- nm - decline Aug 28, 07:15 3
- Which, to be clear, the Queen didn't really have the power to refuse to do. -- nm - Reagen Aug 28, 07:20 2
  - But it does mean we'll probably get a seventh season (or at least a special Christmas episode) of The Crown -- nm - Roger More Aug 28, 07:32 1
    - "All right, fucking fine..." -- nm - Helen Mirren Aug 28, 08:37
Groiny, if you don't pick you're getting assigned BPA within 30 minutes. - Dark Callisto Aug 28, 07:11 4
- picked. - groiny Aug 28, 07:46 3
  - Picking now, you’re back up in a minute -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Aug 28, 07:49
  - no worries brother. ZNU is up -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 07:48 1
    - also: you should of let Kim assign someone to you... - Beaker Aug 28, 07:49
All CNN has to do is be patient. Hurricane Dorian will be happening. -- nm - Qale Aug 28, 07:11 2

- Thanks for the assist! :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 28, 07:14 4
  - motherfucker I hate Yahoo. I can't get a draft list of who next is remaining on Yahoo. All it shows is last year's point totals -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 07:14 3
    - if I go by my sheet from espn he would get Michael Thomas from NO but can't tell from Yahoo what their rankings are - Beaker Aug 28, 07:16
    - I drafted for him. Baron is up. -- nm - ML Aug 28, 07:16 1
      - awesome, thanks -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 07:16
Groiny, me x2, groiny. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Aug 28, 07:10
Out of nowhere, Aladdin/Lion King video games re-releasing this fall. -- (link*) - Shaun Aug 28, 07:09 5
- The Lion King video game was way better than I expected. Enjoyable game. I never played Aladdin. -- nm - Krusty Aug 28, 07:13 3
  - If it's the Lion King for SNES< I thought that game was impossibly hard. -- nm - MDH Aug 28, 07:20 2
    - Yup, same game. It was surprisingly difficult for what people expected to be a more kid oriented game. -- nm* - Krusty Aug 28, 07:23 1
      - I vividly remember how difficult it was (for me as a kid) to get far at all in Lion King, Jurassic Park, and Super Gouls and Ghosts -- nm - MDH Aug 28, 07:32
- If it were Aladdin vs Lion King - then I'm in. Otherwise - I'm good. -- nm - Uncle Six Aug 28, 07:11
