1983 NFL Draft Chat Thread

Funny but true LOL. Hey, on that, we're talking 1980-81, not 1979-80, right?

Does it matter? They had to have played in 1980... Are there players im not thinking about who played during the 80-81 season who didnt play in 1980? Or players who played in 79-80 who didn't play in 1980?

Sounds good to me, just making sure because there were some flat out studs, Rick Barry, Clyde Frazier, Pistol Pete, who retired after 79-80. Just checking

I would rather be a judge then a drafter. Another judge could be is Mr. Statistics/ Jeffro?

 

[Ritzarmy]

3 judges.
1. 1 does statistics to judge a winner
2. 1 does pos vs pos to judge a winner
3. 1 does eye test, correct positions, etc

Thoughts?

I don't like it... I really don't think we are gonna get anyone to look up all the stats.

Good for Jeffro

Obviously not or you would have seen I said everyone in the league will vote and we will bring in 3 outside judges.

What the hell happened last night. I go to bed at 8 and I'm down 3 votes and I've already congratulated UK and I wake up and have 3 texts from Nos saying how I won because of his vote. Wow.

I did make a deal with UK before voting ended that we split the 1,000vcash because hell I didn't I was going to win so I rather get 500 then nothing so Nos can you PM Fordman and let him know of the 2 winners and how much each should get please? Thank you to everyone for participating in this draft I think we all had a a lot of fun. I can not wait till next week for the NBA draft. Thanks again everyone for being so active in drafting.

UK deleted his message, I wonder how much swearing was in it...

No swearing. Just said with 4 votes in the last hour from guys that never play, if we can't get a preset judge or panel, I'm out. We spend too much time on the drafts for hokie endings.

Fully agree with his statement and understand the frustration. UK had the better team and I award him the winner. I wish it showed who voted for what teams.

To be clear, I don't think for a second Ritz called anyone looking for votes. Ritz voted for me. But there were four votes in the last 45 minutes from guys that don't play, SteelerPride even posted to Ritz that he won it for him. He saw Terry Bradshaw, and that was it. I doubt he even glanced at the teams. I'm not bent about it, but it's gonna be hard to get guys to play if there's the appearance of BS. Need to go judges or panel IMO

Agreed! And im sorry this one went down like this but this may be just what we needed to finally get the panel and set the voting the way it should have been all along.
