    A) Nerves of steel (Either you trust KP will make a good move, or you're comfortable not making one)

    B) Crapping your pants (Time is running out!!! Are you clicking the refresh button every minute?)

    C) Anxious, but not falling apart


    Which category are you in this morning? I'm definately in the "B". I don't like our chances of getting a FA this summer, and I'm not convinced the current roster makes the playoffs. It's not playoff or bust for me - it's not worth mortgaging our future, but something has GOT to be out there that we'd like, right?

    3.5 hours to go . . .

    "B".

    As the deadline has approached, the reported asking price for the RLEC seems to be getting higher... which raises the stakes in terms of a GREAT deal happening, or NO deal happening.

    *gulp*

    Exactly. It could get to paralysis by analysis as we approach 12:00. If we are so innundated with offers that we can't pull the trigger . . .

    I'd like to say "A", but unfortunately my actions mean "B". I even woke up at 3:30 from a trade dream, crawled out of bed, and checked the board for an update. :sigh:

    Anyhow, I'm going to the gym for an hour or so because I'm addicted to the refresh button. Cold turkey is the only way out for me right now.

    C...I was going to try to be asleep right now but one of the guys woke me up an hour and a half ago. Now I can't go back to sleep because I don't want to miss anything.

    I'm not expecting a trade, but at least the anticipation of yesterday was exciting.

    A chick called at 1:21 AM last night, awaking me from what had been a (surprisingly) deep slumber.

    I couldn't get back to sleep for a while... and it had nothing to do with the fact that a chick was calling me at 1:21 AM!

    My wife gave me the "where did you go" mumble as I returned to bed. "Took a leak, hun". Yeah right.

    A and B. I trust KP, even if they do nothing. However, I'm still hitting refresh every few seconds.

    Every 10 minutes there's a new wrinkle with draft picks, or Sessions, or Batum . . . being discussed.

    You poor thing! Maybe you should go on the Oprah Show and share all your emotional turmoil with the women. Be sure to bring Kleenex!
