Gotta give some shout-outs:
John F- good job, and congrats. You've got the best team going into next year (for as much as we know now), and a great start. Though, I'm going to decimate you next year, so enjoy it while you can.
Josh- though I view this as a dismal season for myself, I'm always content when the team named "I kick yo butt again" loses. :)
David- all I can say is read the book of Job over and over, that is my only consolation to you.
John H- you had the most wins this year.
Tony Sr.- I gotta eat my words here... great job finishing the season, and my SPR were wrong in judging your team... kudos.
Kyle- Never seen "homer" management work so well, though with the Bears D playing like it is, not that surprised I guess. I had a lot of fun watching the Junkyard Dogs being managed.
Tony Jr.- You interested in Finley at all? ;)
Dad- somehow you have a team of low expectations that always exceeds them, you're the dark horse that always finds a win against the odds, and it's been that way for two years. Now with the first 5 picks next year, I think you can build a playoff team.
Juan- when you fall off the horse, you wash your butt and get right back on... at least that's what I do. ;)
Joe- toughest spot going into next year, from no points this year, so you have a lot of ground to make up (not that I am much further ahead). All I can say is good luck, and I'm feeling it too, brutha.
Ben- I like you're management philosophy, your team for next year seems like another dark horse, and I'm excited. Thanks for coming in and immediately contributing to the league culture.
Myself- I deserve good things. I am entitled to my share of happiness. I refuse to beat myself up. I am attractive person. I am fun to be with... Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and, doggonit, people like me!


Regarding keepers, the deadline for confirming your keepers is one week prior to the 2011 draft (time/date TBD). When you feel like your ready, e-mail me your list (iampatokeefe@gmail.com) of up to 4 Offensive and 1 Defensive players you are keeping for next year. Once you let me know, I will post them in a list on the blog.

Regarding off-season transactions. I am compiling the list of everyone's final roster today. Anyone on your roster is eligible for trade to another team. However, there will be some rules for off-season moves:

1. All trades must be posted on the blog for at least three days for commenting and disagreement before I'll perform a trade on someone's roster.
2. Once the three days have past, if a majority of commissioners agree that the trade is in actuality meant to be a mutually beneficial trade involving real, bona fide keepers, then it will be passed. If the trade involves commissioners, other teams will be asked to evaluate the trade instead of the commissioners.

I think that covers it for now. I want to say THANK YOU to everyone in the league for keeping it fun, and for making it a great league. This is by far my favorite fantasy football league, and I hope it is for you too. Let me know if anyone has any questions.
