Things to think about while Dah Commish is stuck in his basement with a laptop and 10 Finks League bid sheets in his hand.
BIG MONEY: This year's top bids by position and think about the $35 spent by the Distillers on QB J. Allen BUF. At RB, $29.01 by Mafia on Taylor IND; At WR, $30.53 for Lamb DAL by the Jays and Gaga spent $15.25 on K Koo ATL.
DRAW! The one blind draw in the auction featured a battle between Brawlers and Mafia over RB E. Elliott DAL for a nickel. Brawlers won.
MATH SUCKS: I add up everyone's bid sheet, a time consuming process but necessary. The Eggers went over budget and it cost them a backup kicker. I had to cut several Ks to get the Eggers to $100 so their only pickup in that spot was local LT favorite J. Elliott PHI.
HECTIC BIDDING: The auction's most exciting bidding was a Butker battle for the KC kicker. The Brawlers winning bid was for $4.13. Quags bid $4.11.
COME ON! In the last bidding of the evening, the Jays picked up Dicker and Gay as kickers.
TOUGH LUCK: The Gaters have had tough luck before in previous auctions. This year the boys from Iowa City were outbid on all 12 of their selections at RB. The Gaters' top choice was B. Robinson ATL for a failed $12.80. Robinson went to the Jays for $27.89.
WHEELIN AND DEALIN: Did you hear that trades may begin as soon as you started reading this post? The first free-agent deadline is at 10 p.m. Sept. 11.
FIRST THURSDAY AND FIRST FRIDAY: Will you remember to send your BAL and KC starters to your opponent and Dah Commish by 7:20 p.m. Thursday kickoff Central time? Did you know that GB-PHI is playing in Brazil at 7:15 p.m. Friday?
