K is for keeper. I'm thinking that it's going to be "keepers in round one." I don't know if VPI has looked into this more, but it's definitely a possibility that the keepers are going to be round 1, no matter which round you drafted them. I'm going to bed now, but google it and see if there's something else out there for sure. Will try to pick this up in the morning. **BRENT**

**Multiple posts merged, please read/heartily skim entire post for valid information regarding draft** emelius, I'm not sure how the keepers are going to work, but I'm working to figure that out now. I have set the Draft order. I used Random.org and put the team names and owners into the system. I had a biscuit today, so my ranking makes sense. 21 hours until draft time! List RandomizerThere were 10 items in your list. Here they are in random order: Gridiron Guerrillas, Frank DuTeam Chaos, Shelly HarveyPhasers on Kill, Tracy BlankenshipHook 'em Horns, Jeff KernohanPittsburgh d-_-b, Todd KammererIndianapolis Kölsch, Jeff DeArmittA.J. Green Eggs and Ham, Haj OkudaIstanbul Car Bombs, Tyler BeeboutBow Down, Raffy SorianoDammit Colin, Brent Lawson Keeper update: These teams do not have a keeper selected. Please select a keeper before 7pm Eastern tomorrow night (Tuesday, Sept 1st) Pittsburgh d-_-b Team Chaos Gridiron Guerrillas Indianopolis K(somethingorother) Phasers On Kill If you don't know how to choose, go to your ESPN team's page, and under the "My Team" tab, make sure you choose "Roster", look under your team's name and you should see "Select Keepers." Draft info: http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/resources/help/content?name=drafts-live-online I've done some research and it looks like ESPN uses rounds 1-5 for keepers, POSSIBLY going 1-10 instead of snaking. I'm not sure, since we're only doing 1 keeper per Grand Poobah VPI, if it will start round 2 with the list above, or snake and a reverse list. We should know by 7pm tomorrow (Eastern.) As Jeff will probably not be around, I will try to handle anything that comes up. From my research, it's POSSIBLE that if you choose to not have a keeper, you could use that first round as a typical first round, and make a pick. I'm not 100% on that, though. If you have any questions, please put them here and/or PM me. **BRENT**

Dusty, it's just a 10 episode (22 minutes each) season, so think of it as a long movie each day, give or take. But I get the warning. **BRENT**

I watched this entire show this weekend. It's fantastic. Season 2 comes out in a couple of weeks, and I can't wait. **BRENT**

Wishful thinking on my part. Hope to see you back next year. Also, I want to watch Old School now. **BRENT**

Sorry other Jeff, I think we're going to stick with this Tuesday unless a couple more people pipe up saying that doesn't work for them. I'm not sure if next Sunday is on the table, but I know some people mentioned weekdays were better for them. Thanks, Shelly. Bryan and Nate: Last call if you want to play this year and changed your mind. I plan on killing off those teams (so no keepers there) later today or tomorrow, to get us down to 10. **BRENT**

Hey guys, I'm helping out Jeff while he's keeping the world safe from the Princess of Instagram, or something like that. Let's set the draft for this Tuesday, Sept 1st at 8pm Eastern Time. Let me know if this is a problem for anyone. Tyler, you should have an email (through ESPN.) If you don't, PM me. As far as keepers go, we're doing one (1) keeper per team. I believe we usually do a snake draft, so we'll stick with that format this year. I'm thinking it's going to be 10 teams this year. Start researching, start your mock drafts, prep your auto-picks if you need to, but it's about time. G'luck! **BRENT**

Win!!! Let me know what you think, and feel free to send it to me for a OPO v OPT review! **BRENT**

So I found out this morning that one of my first friends ever passed away. I'm not sure what happened, but it's a bummer. I keep in touch with his brothers but he has had a lot of issues the past ten years or so, and we had lost touch. We wound up catching up just 2-3 weeks ago, and it was nice to hear from him. Alas. RIP, Joseph. **BRENT**

Sell/return Di2? Justin, I'd probably return it as well, even if I had to eat some of the shipping, then keep looking. **BRENT**

I can't do Thursdays until after 9 Eastern, and Tuesdays after 9:30 Eastern are bad, but even if I auto-pick and don't set my lineup, I'll still kick Bryan and Deepak's asses. **BRENT**

I had two whilst enjoying breakfast with a friend's mom and watching Fox News blame Obama and BENGHAZI!!!! for the worst fiscal collapse in 300 years. **BRENT**

How about this: you let me know when you want to put some $$$ in, and I'll skip the biscuit that day. **BRENT**

I'm not worried about my 401k, there's nothing I can do about it, and like was mentioned above, it'll bounce back before I need to cash out. I try to not worry (too much) about things I can't change these days. Plenty of things to be concerned about re: what I can do something about, such as "which whiskies shall I consume tonight?" **BRENT**

I'm not worried at all about mine. I'll probably die well before I can retire. Oh, just realized I think I had a biscuit on Friday. Oops. **BRENT**

I bought in Friday morning, I believe, sadly. But, it's grown on average 14% the past few years. Not going to be a huge deal, but yes, I would have done better buying today instead. **BRENT**

Thankfully we're not too terribly old and it should bounce back, but my 401k took a hit on the same day as my largest ever contribution was made to it :facepalm: **BRENT**

That's tough, Larry. Sorry to hear. I know they're tough with the Oxy these days, but could they not up it to at least 2x/day? You'd think there should be something to balance it. **BRENT**

http://www.theverge.com/2015/8/18/9168395/oneplus-2-smartphone-2015-android-review Just buy it. **BRENT**

Buy it, Gram. I'm sure you can move it if need be. **BRENT**

Hey Wayne, do you know where in TN? We just got a new Cuban place about a mile and a half from me and as he took me and a few others to a little Cuban diner no one would have known about otherwise, the last time I saw him I was thinking about doing that for dinner. It's also a rum bar, so I figure that may get a posthumous approval as well. **BRENT**

Dammit, Matt. **BRENT**

Heh. RPO was great. Armada was pretty good, about to read Snow crash for the third time, as that's the book this chick is finishing before she starts on the copy of Ender's Game I gave her last week. I'll then have my 8th or 9th go-round with Ender, perhaps doing the whole 13 books, or whatever it's up to now. **BRENT**

Zee menu at Brunch from a place called Root Brunswick stew with rabbit stock, pulled pork, and chicken. Fried green tomato BLT with the B on the side for me. Callebaut Chocolate Pancakes for me. Dark chocolate, nutmeg spiced batter, and maple pecan butter. Not pictured: 1$ mimosas. **BRENT**

I upgraded on the i7-4790/SSD/32GB RAM machine on day 1. Took hour 45. I upgraded on the i7-3537u/SSD/4GB ram. Took 28 minutes. Both came from Win 8.1 installs, and I'm not sure why the (much more powerful) desktop took longer (SSD in that one is slower, but it's still a current model SSD), but W10 has been great for me after a restart for the nVidia driver to realize what's up. I AM a bit frustrated by the fact that the guest account doesn't work in W10. I think they took it out in June or July. There's still a way to dig in and activate it, but it's really buggy. (I'd let someone use my comp, but I tend to always lock my machines when I walk away, out of habit.) **BRENT**
