it was fun for me when i picked up Hoyer and he performed so well then BOOM...he's hurt and out! (Not fun when a player gets hurt, maybe fun wasn't the right word.)

I just proposed a trade if Clod is interested.

Yeah, when a low expectation guy starts rocking it its pretty cool... until he gets hurt.

Trade accepted! Pleasure doing business with you. Sorry I've been on low-internet since we've been traveling, I have actually been making an effort to play for real this season. Thanks for the heads up about the IR designation, I didn't know what that meant. I'll try to remember to get my injured guy off my lineup once I'm allowed to touch it again.

Griff 10-14-2013 01:37 PM

Cools!

Ha Ha Ha.

I had to take a screen shot of this. Guru, you suck!

Attachment 45680

See, what's going to happen is the Dolphins defense is going to strip the quarterback of the ball on every single play and take it for a touchdown. And they are going to do that like 20 times during the game.

lumberjim 10-15-2013 09:21 AM

And 5 other teams are going to do even better!

What in de fuck is goin' on?

Undertoad 10-15-2013 11:39 AM

O how the mighty have fallen. My TE turned in the worst performance of the year and the Barking Toads lost to Troop, who had three players out!

lumberjim 10-15-2013 11:44 AM

The shockwaves of this are undoubtedly to blame for the guru's math errors.

They seem to have been corrected by now. .. but it made for a good indicator of how little heed we should pay to it.

glatt 10-17-2013 08:00 AM

Who is P-Zone817?

They have two holes in their team. Need to switch QBs at a minimum.

lumberjim 10-17-2013 09:57 PM

That's Carmen. I told him. Should be fixed now.

V, your team needs attention. Vick is not playing this week. Neither is that RB on the Giants.

infinite monkey 10-18-2013 10:20 AM

I keep tweaking my team: if the projections are close, Clod and I will be fighting quite the battle. It will be a matter of individuals performing slightly better or slightly worse than projected (barring, gawd forbid, injuries.)

This will be a fun sunday for me...a frantic refresh of the nfl site, and watching for my specific players' moves! Probably a bit of yelling at the TV. GAWD i love football!

Good luck, Clodfobble! :)

Should have kept my mouth shut. It's going to be a close game now.

Oh, wait. The Guru is messing up again.
Attachment 45714

43 points seems pretty optimistic when he averages 7.5 points per game and his peak was 10.

Plus he has that huge tumor on the side of his head.

Me too! I'm going to the Cowboys game. I met Amanda 2 years ago on October 30th at the Cowboys eagles game. This time I scored tickets in the ABC box though!

Pretty good anniversary date, huh?

glatt 10-18-2013 10:51 AM

That's cool, Jim!

infinite monkey 10-18-2013 01:01 PM

I am of the envy...and how cool you and Amanda can enjoy football together.

Can you believe i have never been to a pro football game? I've seen the crap out of the redlegs, and the redwings, and many various college football and basketball events...but never pro football. It's on my bucket list (doable since i did a lot of bucket list things when i was young and didn't need nor know about bucket lists! Surely I can get tix next year for a bengals game!)

This taken as the game wound down. We had a great day. Took the train and subway to the stadium. The red zone luxury suite was amazing. 20 people in there maybe. ...a fridge full of free beer, a pan full of sausage and peppers, a premium hoagie tray, a huge chicken ceasar salad, another pan of hot dogs, Chili, sauerkraut, cheese wiz, Potato salad, slaw, a fruit tray, chips and guacamole, cookies, brownies, et friggin cetera.

lumberjim 10-20-2013 08:33 PM

Oh. ...a private bathroom, 3 tvs, and one hell of a view.

Where's your Cowboy shirt?

Griff 10-21-2013 05:21 AM

I think he's smarter than that!

Goats vs Spaghetti Monsters is another fight to the death.

lumberjim 10-21-2013 09:12 AM

yeah, wow. his Tight end vs your kicker, DP and a 4 point lead.

I think you'll edge him out... but I will watch the game. Spencer will too.

meanwhile, Amanda has a 30 point lead on TROOP, who has Adrian Peterson yet to play. THAT should be another nail biter.

PZone needs nearly 60 points out of Eli Manning to catch up with glatt. it can be done... he's scored that many before (80 actually) but that was a shoot out against Dallas in week one. since then, he's looked like shit.

lumberjim 10-21-2013 09:16 AM

Big V, and blue curacao are clearly not paying attention to their teams. that kind of sucks. c'mon you guise. if you're not interested in playing, let me know and I will try to replace you.

glatt 10-21-2013 09:18 AM

I'm taking nothing for granted tonight. Manning can really do great things. He can also fizzle. We'll see.

It's just ironic that I benched RG3 after several weeks of slowly declining performance, and he played his best game all season.

Griff 10-22-2013 05:31 AM

Wow Spencer. Good one right down to the wire.

jimhelm 10-22-2013 07:32 AM

Omg, Josh Freeman was horrible. Really really bad. It was like the ball was full of helium.

infinite monkey 10-22-2013 09:20 AM

This week will suck, as Rivers is on bye and of course I'm playing Toad and his Manning. Bullies get lucky and get to play Toad and his Manning on Manning's bye week.

I've no doubt Toad can overcome the Bullsies, even without Manning. This week, I suspect my ass will be grass.

Undertoad 10-22-2013 09:39 AM

Don't assume!! I have many guys on Bye other than Manning and I'm having to rehaul the team due to too many of my non-QB players going into suck mode.

Griff 10-22-2013 09:02 PM

Yeah, I've got like 5 guys on byes this week. Every week is a crap shoot.

lumberjim 10-23-2013 11:58 AM

This is the part of the season that separates the people that watch Football from those that don't. Lots of injuries happening, bye weeks... people have to drop guys. For me, this is the most fun part. I love hunting for that guy that will step into a slot because the starter got nicked. I did it last week, when I got the WR, douglas, on the falcons because white and jones are both hurt.

I didn't start him though, because I'm a homer and I WANTED Austin to have a big game. .. and I WANTED to be there to see it. THAT'S motivated reasoning, tw. I got the win anyway because V is asleep at the wheel, but douglas scored 32.90 on my bench.

I got Cole Beasley to replace Austin. I see him becoming a Wes Welker type of slot receiver.

glatt 10-23-2013 12:02 PM

I gave up on a couple of my gimps getting better, and am happy with the guys I picked up as well. We'll see. The guru thinks Clodfobble is in great shape this week. But I think I have a chance.

Undertoad 10-25-2013 09:51 PM

The hated Guru has us separated by a point, Riverz Ratz. Let the games begin!!!

jimhelm 10-25-2013 10:42 PM

Hiyo!


Griff 10-27-2013 01:59 PM

Is Hammer and Tongs Biggie? Whoever it is left a bunch of injured and byes in the line-up. Some could be swapped by 4pm Eastern.

BigV 10-27-2013 05:24 PM

Yep, that's me. I've looked but still don't really know how to make changes, ND I know even less about what would be a good move. Like lj said not all of us watch football.

infinite monkey 10-28-2013 11:35 AM

Yeah, that sucked ass. I know I got my QB and a (probable, still) WR to go, but they ain't gonna net me 121.3 points.

UT is kickin' ass and takin' tickets.

Undertoad 10-28-2013 12:21 PM

Guru strikes again?

glatt 10-28-2013 12:26 PM

I was expecting RG3 to do more for me than 10 points. It's a rough game. I hope he comes back next week. Clodfobble should beat me easily, unless her QB gets injured as well.

glatt 10-29-2013 01:27 PM

I just got around to checking the how the game ended up. I can't believe it.

I squeaked by with a margin of victory of nine tenths of a point.

lumberjim 10-30-2013 09:12 PM

Oh! I get ute on Mannings bye week! And Murray is back in the line up against a weak vikings d. Ok. Ok.... Go bullies.

infinite monkey 11-03-2013 07:09 AM

Game to watch this week: The Bullies v The Toads! Good luck guys.

AMANDA: you have an IR and a bye. :)

glatt 11-03-2013 07:15 AM

Oh yeah. Football.

Kinda late to do anything, but maybe I should take a look.

*wanders off*

I keep reminding her. She is very busy doung college online. 3 courses this semester. I don't want to do it FOR her though, so.... I'll give her another nudge when she wakes up.

Griff 11-03-2013 08:20 AM

Yeah, turns out I have a hole in my lineup...

glatt 11-03-2013 02:01 PM

Hanging out in the hospital with FIL watching the Redskins game. It's really quiet here. Then RG3 just made a nice run, and there's hooting and hollering up and down the hallway. Guess we're not the only ones watching the game.

glatt 11-03-2013 04:28 PM

Would have been better if I left it alone. I benched RG3 for Flacco, and Flacco keeps getting sacked.

lumberjim 11-03-2013 05:00 PM

Boy, Foles is having a game. 5 touchdowns so far. Murray only got me 11.... and Chris Johnson went off. ... Of course he's on my bench. ... dammit.

Undertoad 11-03-2013 05:02 PM

good game going on, it will probably come down to whether GB wins on the ground or in the air

Griff 11-03-2013 07:08 PM

Wow. Capybaras are crushing Goats. Brutal.

Clodfobble 11-03-2013 09:49 PM

It's about time. Prior to this week I was on a 5-game losing streak...

Attachment 45945
My instincts tell me to play him next week because he just had a decent game, but I bet he flops in the other direction again. It's like trying to time the stock market, and selling when it crashes, and buying when it's performing well.

lumberjim 11-04-2013 10:33 AM

it's not just you, bro.

I REALLY thought Murray was the play this week...and Chris Johnson has done fuck all this season....so natch, murray = 11, CJ = 36 this week. And i can't afford to fuck about. Ute had a strong showing....and based on what goes down tonight ( we each have 2 guys to play) it might be to difference between a W and an L.

I NEED to stay ahead of the toads going into to playoffs. I can't handle him when he has Manning.

glatt 11-04-2013 10:41 AM

Yeah. I'm lucky I'm playing the tongs this week, and he's asleep at the wheel. I would have lost for sure otherwise.

Undertoad 11-04-2013 11:11 AM

I think you have this one James, like 80% chance... the X factor is that my Bears' WR Alshon Jeffrey always has the potential to be a beast. But GB is favored by 10 1/2 in a high-scoring game, that's the thing. Unless Rodgers gets banged up in the first half...

lumberjim 11-04-2013 11:26 AM

I spoke to bluecuracao via facebook over the weekend... she says she's been busy, but will try to get her act together.

lumberjim 11-04-2013 11:49 AM

I thought Amanda was going to catch Shaw last night... Andre Johnson was going crazy in the first half. He had 57 points in the first half...... AND THEN HIS HEAD COACH COLLAPSED ON THE SIDELINE!

she actually got within 5 points of Shaw before TY Hilton caught his OWN 3 touchdowns and put up 51 points for her....so now, the Chasers need 35 points out of Brandon Marshall to tie it. it could happen.
