    I sent griddles a whole list of suggestions myself and Paul thought up at the end of last year. We'll see what's feasible. But we take any suggestions under consideration with GIK having final say since he's running the league

    I'll still be kicking stuff in before I take my leave of absence.

    And yes, I already did the rosters.

    still the Dolphins, it's the only impartial thing to do. No fins fan gets their team.

    I've actually got my list down to about 4 teams. Although that will probably change depending on the cap changes and whether that just makes cap strapped teams a no go.

    Because I'm sick of people complaining about the team they get based on whatever merit, I'm going to do it this way.

    1. We will have a sign-up for the Miami Dolphins. Everyone who has already been a GM for the Dolphins on this site will be ineligible. These posters are schisno, Stitches, Paul 13, Fin-Omenal, GridIronKing34, sking29, and Silverphin (EDIT: and Vendigo too apparently). Once that list is finalized, we'll do a randomizer to determine the 2015 Dolphins GM.

    2. Once the Dolphins have been designated a particular GM, we will sign up for teams. However this isn't going to be like normal. You will just throw your name in the hat. You will not list what teams you want... nothing of the sort.

    3. I will put all 30 names in a randomizer and we will have a draft order. You will then draft what team you would like to be this year. Why not 31, you ask? Because I'll volunteer for the last pick.

    A schedule of events will be out in due time.

    Hope things are going better for you now, man.

    Right now I'm looking at having a week for teams to sign up for the Dolphins. This would be the time for me to recruit former GMs (guys that played last year) to get in to sign up while they can. Once the Dolphins GM has been decided, we will hopefully have 31 total GMs ready for the draft in less than a week. I fully expect that the team selection draft would take less than a week... so ideally this whole process takes two weeks. The whole process will likely start around the Conference Championship games and ideally we'll have all our teams handed out by the Super Bowl. From there we can do the coaching staff stuff after the Super Bowl and I'll hand out official rosters sometime after that... likely mid February. Obviously this is subject to change but this is my current line of thought.

    As far as dead money goes, it will be implemented this year. It will be fine-tuned to fit this site and its eagerness to trade however.

    Nope loophole. He picks up the Hamilton Tiger Cats and their $4.4 million payroll. Boom instant cap bonanza.

    Didn't say it had to be an "NFL" team ;p

    I like the draft idea though. Adds a little more excitement to it and people can't ***** about favoritism or how they should have had a team over someone else.

    Although those that choose to enter the Dolphins sweepstakes should end up with the 'playoff' bracket of drafting ;p

    what about taking it a step further? Instead of randomizing the people, what if we randomized the teams? This way people aren't picking based on good or bad relative luck in a random draft. Everyone chooses a number, and that number corresponds to a team which they don't know of offhand. This way it's a complete crap shoot and no one benefits or loses from a random sequential draw.

    I don't really see why we need to change the method of picking teams. A lot more people are going to quit when they grab a ****ty team they never wanted. Participation became an issue last year.

    Personally I don't mind the process. If you can say that, I'm fine with it (not that it matters, its your choice anyway).

    I like the draft order idea... everyone knows where they stand, if they are going to whine about not getting a good pick, then that's a tip off that they aren't needed here. BTW, GIK, if I don't get a good pick, I'm killing you... :shifty:

    I'm going to LOL when I pick the Saints and cut Jimmy Graham. :shifty:

    Yah it shouldn't be. I believe we only have one league running this year instead of 2. Should prevent burnout from the guys who were trying to run 2 last year and eliminate the splitting of people across 2 leagues.

    By the way we already have our first power GM team combo. FFG and vt dolfan are Co-GM'ing this year.
