Fantasy Football 2009

It's time to create the league, and start researching for the draft.


who's in this year?!

last year's champion was Pete....she beat sycamore. I think it was all because of how cool her helmet was.

The bullies WILL make the playoffs this year, dammit.

in

also In
TROOP !!
TROOP!!
TROOP!!!

I'm in. Not gonna be the dirty hippies again though...

I've re done the bullies' helmet for the new season....

can we move this over to yahoo so we can actually pick the players we get, otherwise, its kind of meaningless.
i mean if you're leaving the players you'll get, to chance....its not really your team.
half the fun of fantasy is the draft.

I'm in again. It was fun last year and actually caused me to watch a game on tv.

Can you explain it a little? I might like to play, but I don't want to commit if it takes a lot of time, being a slacker in my off-hours and all. Since I no longer really have a football team, I can see how it would make the season more exciting, and I love football just never really have anything to get into it about these days.

Takes about twenty minutes a week for basic participation, which is what I did.

If you want to get more into it than that, you can watch all the games and read all the news and make elaborate plans. You have your team, and the website tells you if any of your players are injured or are sitting out because they have no game scheduled that week. If that's the case for any player, you need to put a substitute in their place. As you follow the players' performances during the season, you may be unhappy with someone and want to trade him, so you look at the list of available players and make the trade. You should do that earlier in the week, because it takes a day or so to process it. You always want to have your full team ready to play once each weekend arrives.

It's hard to explain without the website to look at, but it's really pretty well organized and easy. All the information you need is right there.

OK, I'm in. Sounds like fun.

NFL dot com has a live draft option, whip.....but ...again.... theres no way we're all going to get logged in at a predetermined time and spend 4 hours doing a live draft. do that with your sports betting buddies. the automated draft works ok if you spend some time devising your strategy, and ranking the players you want.

I'm a fan of letting the computer pick them for you. You can get a decent team that way.

Pete and Griff are in.

I agree with Jim on draft style. You can strategize with NFLcom it is just a different kind of strategy and as glatt says you can let things slide and still get a decent squad.

ok, lets keep it at nfl.com, but at least make it a live draft.
whoever wants to be there can be there, whoever can't make it, can't.
for those who aren't there, it makes no difference as they'll draft just like they would if its not a live draft.

jim, are you in charge? if you are, i'm probably in. if not, i'm probably not. if this is going to get all out of hand with everyone beeping at you about "you should do this and you should do that" and shit maybe I better not play. someone is already irritating the shit out of me. big pro fantasy football man, up thar. :headshake

let me try a dummy run that way and see how long it takes for each round to time out and autopick...or if it even will do that.

As I thought, too complicated. Never mind. I'm back out. I'm sure you're all very disappointed.

hmmm... so doesn't this give whip and other live types an advantage over teh rest? I dunno, I'm a little fried after work.

Shawnee wait for it to shake out...

Nah...not worth it if I'm already wanting to beat the shit out of bookie dude.

think of the pleasure when your scrubs crush him

at first, i didnt think so..but the more i think about it, i think it would. he'd be able to change his drafting strategy on the fly as opportunities arise.

nah..you're beat, WHIP. in or out?

hardy har

Let me know how it plays out. I don't want to rain on the parade. :)

Eagle Green's in...

C'mon Shawnee--it's not complicated. I won the first year, and I don't even understand how the FF scoring works.

I really don't want to be snippy: it's not my game, I've never played, and certainly how you guys want to do it is fine. I just get sick of Pro Boogie Boy and his little inside track.

I love some competition, even fantasy competition, and think it would make the long winter football season more enjoyable...but if Boogie Man will bother me I shouldn't play because it's not my place to make this a pain in the ass for everyone else.

Next he'll be wantin' to use real money. And haggis.

;)

Its really kinda fun Shawnee. You will catch on quick and could even kick some butt (Im a two time champ in another league and I know diddly about football).

no no....hating on WHIP is a tradition in our household! make it one in yours too!

OK, I'll join the fantasy hatin' game, and maybe the fantasy football game.

It really does sound like fun! :)

Shaw, my goal last year was to beat WHIP, just because he annoys the shit out of me. I beat him AND made the playoffs with a team he picked as one of the worst. Still feels good...

This year: The Mostly Dead. Helmet design by Jim Hjelm, I mean Helm.

That is an admirable goal. And an admirable helmet. How y'all make those things? I don't even know where the FF is located on teh webz.

Now I want to play just to name my team and get a hjelmet, I mean helmet. :lol:

Shawnee123;583516 wrote:

Oh hey, you wanna go over to an online poker site & play sometime? Play money only, I promise. (And the international banking industry hasn't yet figured out how to transfer haggis between checking accounts.) (No doubt they're working on it though.)

Where? What kind? Texas Hold 'em?

shaw....I would be honored to create a helmet for you.

email me a team name and design concept. I'll do my best for you.

I did design last year's champion's helmet( pete's rainbow ponies)....with jinx's collaboration, of course.

I'll have to think about my team name over the weekend. :)

I'm in for hold-em, play money.

Or real money if it's Poker Stars and we're betting micro amounts, the 25-cent tables.

I have an account there with $5 in it.

Let me know, guys. I love hold-em. MIGHT play for tiny money. Probably not tonight as I'm going to a friend's house, or plan to unless my headache and extreme fatigue gets worse. It would be way fun to get some dwellars hooked up for poker though. Hell, I might even drink a beer!

25 cent? No way.. I stick to the 4-cent/2-cent tables. Or, wait, you mean 25 -cent buyin for no-limit? I usually play limit.

ok...league is created....draft day SUnday, August 9th.

I've invited the following people:

me
jinx
UT
sycamore
shaw
glatt
griff
pete
clobble
W.HI.P
zippy
plthijinx
bluecuracao



shit. that's 13 people. there are only 12 spots.

FIRST COME FIRST SERVE!

i sent invites via PM or email if i had it.

If it fills up, someone can have my spot. I'm paying even less attention this year than I have in the past, and that's saying something. I did rank my draft picks already though, so I'm ready whenever the season starts.

in

I'm in...fucker.

well...that's 11 of the 12.

a. pete and griff can co captain a team

b. clobble offered to give up her spot.

i sent a pm to griff yesterday, but have not heard back. It's up to them, I guess.....

i feel bad that I miscalculated with the invitations.

Which site are we using? Yahoo! or NFL.com?

If you need a 12th player I'm more than willing to enter.

whoops been outa town.
I'm in.

Is there anyone who played before who didn't get to sign up this year? I don't want to take anyone's spot.

Jim, I'm confused...we have two leagues running (Cellar and FB)? And I'm not in the Cellar one? No big deal...just want to know what I should be doing.

I set the Facebook one up just to see what it was about......sent invites.....i think.

but no one joined...until you did. you want to be on the cellar league. I over-invited and all 12 slots are full. clodfobble may want to give up her spot, though.....

sorry for the confusion.

Is there a 16 slot lig?

I'm the noobie, I'll drop out if you want the spot, syc.

I thought there wouldn't be enough teams.

Undertoad;584453 wrote:

I don't see any options for it on the free version.

No way Shaw, you're actually interested in doing it! I'm seriously only holding my spot because I've done it in years past to get the numbers up to 12 participants. I've got way too much to do, I positively assure you I will pay no attention to any football games played this year, real or fantasy. LJ, how do I give my spot to syc?

Could she drop and then I could go in?

(Thanks, Clod! I love you...in a platonic way.)

Ah, I figured out how to quit the league. Syc, there should be a spot open now.

Hey, can some take the photo from whalepenis.org and superimpose it on a black helmet for me? I suck at PhotoShop.

Clodfobble, you're a good egg.

fob, there's always room for you in the fantasy premiere league ;)

If you need me to fill out the league, I'll make an account with my standard player-selection strategy... but seriously y'all, I find most sports to be mind-numbing. I don't even watch the SuperBowl for the commercials.

Thanks Ms Fob...I really would have bowed out but if you're sure you're not into it...

You are an angel, either way. :)

The River Rats:

:notworthy:

I LOVE it! Thanks!

River Rats is the mascot/team name for the high school my kids will go to.

Really? I live on the river, so I always say "I took the 'rat' out of 'river'" so it seemed like a good name, since jim thought Blue Herons was teh ghey. :lol:

http://www.aaps.k12.mi.us/huron.ath_dept/athletics_home

their rat looks more like ChuckECheese to me.....

So I stole this helmet from a real minor league team. Works for my Ruff Riders.

Oh, and the logo too.

Hey that's cool glatt.

Chuck E Cheese rats...just rat wannabes! Real rats are ugly and smelly and mean and...hey, wait!

:lol:

Fear the wangs!

How do I upload my helmet as my logo? I don't remember.

you have to wait until after the draft

Hey Jim, any chance you could crank out a goat helmet in black/gold so at least I look marvelous?

absotively.

you want a black helmet w/gold goat or visa versa?

Is there anything special I have to do to let the draft just pick my team for me? Or is that the default if I do nothing? The site isn't that clear to me.

the players are pre ranked. if you do nothing, the system will select what it sees as the best choice for you.

Black helmet would be most nicely. thanks g

Who doesn't want a gold goat? ;)

This is gonna be fun!

EH WOT?

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

lumberjim;585495 wrote:

I asked if someone could help me with it, but got no response, so I just put something together in Paint.

ok...i'll try...gimme a second

eh?

I'm confused by this format...where do I do my helmet thingy?

Hey, is the draft today? I'm already set up.

Nice!

The draft is the 9th. I think.

bluecuracao;586706 wrote:

you can upload a logo after the draft. also, up until the draft, you can change the name of your team.

I just got my roster!

This is cool! :)

Woooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Let's play some football!

I got Drew Brees and some things to sort out...

I hate my team.

A lot hangs on Kurt. He won the Super Bowl for teh Ponies last year but time marches on.

I'm really shakey RB wise but I expect one of these guys to come up big when their on team competition falls or fails.

i see glatt and blue in the finals

All I know is that it's fitting I got Phillip Rivers, since my team is the River Rats.

I'm sure I'll know more about the players as the year progresses, but right now I guess I'll just see how it works.

I think it will be fun. I was talking to my younger brother about it yesterday and he has been on a similar team and said it really made snowy Sundays more fun. :)

Awesome! I haven't even looked at my team yet.

i've done pretty well predicting the winner of these leagues, so i'll have another go at it.

[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Purple"]central[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR="Green"]ruffriders[/COLOR]
how tf did you get such a good team.
not only are you gonna win this division, but you're odds on favorite to win it all.

[COLOR="Blue"]whip[/COLOR]
i'd have a better shot if this was an online draft.
not much to do here but watch what falls in your lap.
i lack at qb, so it'll be tough to compete.

[COLOR="Blue"]bullies[/COLOR]
not bad at all, you've got a well rounded team.
if it wasn't for ruffriders, you'd be able to win this division.

[COLOR="Red"]goats[/COLOR]
i would have thought you'd be a contender based on your past goats.
this is does not look good for you.
drew brees should have another good year, and you've got some wide recievers, but you're non-existant at running back, and you hold one of the weakest defences in the nfl....

[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Purple"]east[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR="Green"]eaglegreen[/COLOR]
again, you're a competitor.
you will compete for this division, but you're out-classed by ruffriders team.

[COLOR="Green"]troop[/COLOR]
you've got just as much possibilities as eaglegreen at winning this division

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]sysadmins[/COLOR]

you have no qb.... you'll have to get one, or you will be bel;ow .500

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]rainbow[/COLOR]
its not really gonna work for you.
you have too many players that shouldn't be in your roster...make some changes or you'll lose more games than you win.

[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Purple"]west[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR="Green"]riverrats[/COLOR]
nice team, you're the favorite in this division.
you lack 1 running back, but other than that, you're elite.

[COLOR="blue"]warbird[/COLOR]
you have an average team, and only due to the lack of serious opponents in your division can you have hope

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]mostlydead[/COLOR]

no running backs, trade for one at least....also, kurt is questionable at qb, and your back-up is mediocre.

[COLOR="Red"]sycamore[/COLOR]
no wide recievers, no running back, gives you the worst record in the cellar league 2009

Well it's only natural, given that he took my place. Only natural that you predict he will lose, I mean, when he will actually do pretty decently. He's got my mojo, I can feel it.

Ugh, I have teh Cowboys. Now I'm going to have to root for them.

Fate, you are cruel.

That's why I move Patriots to the bottom... of course I missed one this year.

I saw the best Fantasy Footbal team name:

The Stepdads.



why?

because we beat you and you hate us.


maybe next year

OK, people....Thursday night at 8:30, this season begins. Steelers vs Titans.

Is your lineup set?

go, jinx....! beat the whale penises.....!

cough

Thanks for the reminder. I think I'm set, but maybe somebody got injured in the preseason.

Nice kicker babe.

I didn't realize the season started on Thursday! :mg:

Luckily, all of my players start on Sunday (whew).

holy crap! my defense kicked some ass today!

Eagles DST
PHI 38 @ CAR 10 (F)
10 PA, 169 YDS, 2 DTD (85,2), 5 Int, 2 DFR, 5 SACK 43 ffl points total!

and Drew Brees for the goats.....wow, he had a great game...

D. Brees QB
NO 45 v DET 27 (F)
358 PaYd, 6 PaTD (9,39,1,15,58,13), PaInt 48 ffl points total

christ. 48 points. thats not fair. not at allllll

That is just wow.

Damn, gotta get a new QB.

glatt......i must break you.

:headshake

It's going to be an exciting FF Sunday!

Too bad I'll be at the Star Trek show at the Franklin for most of it. :alien2:

I'm gonna put a hurtin' on Plthijinx to make up for a shitty start last week. Sorry fred...

i'm waiting.......:reaper:

Looks like you were waiting for the Punchless Patriots. Buh bye Brady.

plthijinx;595990 wrote:

i'm waiting.......:reaper:

your qb did great.... but your RB, Johnson scored 45 points. you might want to start him next week.

i don't even remember why i benched him this week. maybe it was going by the stupid points guru. damnifiknow.:headshake

then again, every player is susceptible to a blow out points week. you just never know when that week will be. unless of course we're going retro and playing the league 10 years ago when Marshall Faulk was playing for the Rams. Then you'd be a fool to bench him even on a by week!

well, whatever you do, don't follow any advice i offer...I'm a mush and I know it.

beh, it's all good. after thomas jones' performance yesterday i was going to swap them anyway.

A couple of friends convinced me to sign up for Fantasy Football. I have no idea what I'm doing and so far I am 2/0 in the league.

It won't last. I assure you.

Wait a second. Who is this Drew Brees guy? What the hell? Griff! 48 points in the first game and 28 in the next! :eek:

Oh, crap. He's playing the Bills, who have the 2nd worse pass defense this season. I'm screwed.

Shawnee is going to ruin me. I hate my team.

I looked at it the other day, and must admit, I'm as clueless there as I am on Facebook. :blush:

SURE you are. *wink* *wink*

Why, am I winning? :lol:

not when it comes to dead celebrities... :bolt:

Ah hell...

With one of my guys sitting the game out unexpectedly at the last minute, I am thrilled to take the draw. Good game, Griff!

I'm not yet getting the beating I was expecting...

Dude you really squeezed that out!

You sound almost disappointed :P

I'll check on it when I get home. I know I have some people in bye week next week, hope I can figure out how to rectify.

You are leading 81-74 but I have Felix Jones and Witten left to play. I'll be in chat during the game if you're interested in a good taunting...
:D

Aw hell, the Rainbow Ponies threw a 136! 6 out of 9 of Ms. Griff's starters are marked as "hot"!

lol...I'll see what's going on tonight.

I'd hate to miss "How I Met Your Mother" and "The Big Bang Theory" etc. :blush:

I did see the Browns (aka the most painful football to watch EVAH) get their asses kicked, and saw most of the Bengals game yesterday.

the Texans loss nearly brought tears to my eyes.

I'm on a league. Both my QB have a bye this week. What are the odds? Sucks. I dropped a deadbeat TE and pick up Favre. Now I have three QB's... Donovan who is out to an injury, Matt something or other who is a so-so QB and then Brett himself (I was surprised he was even available).

This is the third year I've been playing. First year I placed 4th, second year I was dead last and so far this year I am 2-1-0.

Geez I need to fix mine...I'm a fantasy slacker.

This is a bye week, isn't it? I better look at that. I think I have 2-3 to replace.

Yep, week 4...

Record: 0-3-0 (L3)
Coach Rating: 78 (12th)
Schedule Difficulty: Tied for 1st
Passing Rank: 3rd
Rushing Rank: 8th
Receiving Rank: 7th
Defense/ST Rank: 4th

I suck this year

I changed over my bye week players. I had no idea what I was doing. I'd pick a kicker then realize he hasn't played all year.

I think I got it settled, but for me it's a crap shoot anyway!

I keep putting this off. I think I need to pick up some free agents. My inactive folks mostly suck.

That's what I had to do.

Me and Mrs. G are tied with only the Steelers D (me) and Chester Taylor (her) to play. I think I'm gonna pull this one off, unless the Steelers just totally suck tonight.

She [COLOR="Yellow"]wants[/COLOR] badly [COLOR="Yellow"]to[/COLOR] lose. [COLOR="yellow"]priorities[/COLOR]
The goats are in a bad way now that NO has a running game. They're a damn fine football team but I didn't draft Brees to manage an offense.

I suck so bad this year. But i might win this week. with a 22 point lead over blue....she has Adrian Petersen who could easily score that much, but I also have the vikings D and Percy Harvin (Percy is this years version of Desean Jackson of the Eagles..but he's a Viking)

so....

Go Vikes!

I also need the Vikings to do well so that I can beat Whip.
Go Farrrrvruh.
:cheerldr:

Fine drama - Glatt and I are all tied up 90-90, but he has one guy left to play tonight... Green Bay's #2 WR, and all he needs is 10 yards and Glatt gets the game. It will surely happen... good game, good game

Nothing is sure. I thought LenDale White would contribute something, but he gave me a big old goose egg. This guy could too.

If it hadn't been a bye week, I wouldn't have picked up the 49er's defense team. I owe everything this week to the 43 points they earned me.

One catch for 7 yards, and it's halftime... the suspense, the drama...

There it is, it's all over... good game

So both undefeated teams were defeated this week. The plot thickens...

and the heretofore defeated bullies are now in the W column.

And so ye did!

Favre had so much time in the pocket... how much time did he have?

= He had enough time to prepare a cup of coffee with cream and sugar... but not enough time to wipe up the single drop of coffee that landed outside his cup

= He had enough time to do a full oil and filter change

= He had enough time to attend three therapy sessions and almost work out his issues with his father

= He had enough time to study his Vikings playbook and also the playbooks of all other teams that have thought about picking him up next off season

= Not only could he work out who to throw the ball to, but he had time to study the stats on "yards after catch" on each possible receiver

= After each hike, he could meet with 10 season ticket holders and sign 5 autographs

I checked in at half time and was like "what the hell?" am I really going to get no points from this player? I still haven't looked at what happened, but I'm glad he earned some points.

jinx;599430 wrote:

Well, if I haven't lost a game (yet), doesn't that make the Ruff Riders undefeated? Even if they haven't won them all? Technically speaking, anyway?

Well... technically... I guess... :D

And so ye did!

Favre had so much time in the pocket... how much time did he have?

All of it, eh? While Rogers was just brutalized. Bet he's sore today...

Hah! Blue starts McNabb and is rewarded with 9 points by 1:07 PM.

another nail biter for the sysadmins this week:

He trails the Mostly Dead 55-52 ...both teams have one player playing in Monday Night's Game......Both are Defenses.......jinx has the Jets v Ute's Dolphins.... A head to head matchup for the mother effin win. (the guru predicts jinx should get 13 pts, tony 11)

it would be really cool if they were tied in the football pool and the score of that game was the tie breaker. gonna go look at that now....

jinx is gonna win the pool, but is gonna lose against ut in this close one

I'm tied up with the Ponies right now, and we both have two final players starting their games. But she's gonna slaughter me.

The only reason it's close is Jinx had a WR suspended at the very last minute for "team rules".

W.HI.P;600431 wrote:

by my count.....they both have 2 wrong....and are tied for the lead. they have both chosen the colts in tonight's game.. and in monday night's game, jinx has the jets.....tony the fins.....

if thats the case, jinx is going to lose both.

i really need the fins to beat the spread.... the economical difference to me is pretty big

67 - 65 Jinx at halftime... league factors look good for Jinx

I'm losing...Donald Brown didn't perform well last night.

this score is going back and forth in a most alarming way

10 seconds left.....


jinx leads by 2




3rd and goal....dolphins....


o jeesus

oh no!



touchdown, Miami!


fins lead by 3 with 6 seconds .....




3 seconds after the kick....

tie game?


what the crAP!?#$%&@*@

No! she wins on points. Good game good game

I suck at the fantasy football. :(

What the...? There must have been a later update, we ARE tied.

I'll take it.... moves me up in my division to 2nd.
Bummer about the pool though.
Congrats UT

Mark Sanchez has a golden arm. I mean, wow.

Hah! Blue starts McNabb and is rewarded with 9 points by 1:07 PM.

When I heard he was actually starting, I thought, why not? Thought he might do at least as good as that rookie Sanchez. :)

Mark Sanchez has a golden arm. I mean, wow.

He might have good FF potential, but know very little about these things.

Wow...did I fuck up! Forgot to check my bye week players...I'm running with no RBs this week.

Well...at least all my players are playing in my money league!

Gah! They took 12 pts off the board on a Ward catch not catch from Ben.

NO 41 Giants 20 with the last part of the 4th left to play. Wow. And Griff with Brees on the bench. That was a sensible play but wow, NO! I have the Coulston part of the Brees-Coulston matchup, so I'm singing right now...

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.........

Hey nobody predicted the Giants would suck that hard!

Actually your game looks like the best game of the week either way... it's up to blue's McNabb and a kicker to come through with 24 more points... it will be a good one because McNabb has had an unexpected weak start here in the first half...

I believe I am toast. Pburg fumbled a bunch of balls so Bens 400 yard effort didn't show on the scoreboard.

You're still beating me so far, and my star RB was taken off the field at the beginning of the game with a bum knee.

And Tom Brady now has 51 points, thanks to a good day at QB and a horrendous Titans defense.

Nah, I think you've got this one wrapped up. McNabb is sucking big time.

51 points! Holy crap syc...

I shoulda put Farve in, but seem to be killing the Ponies anyway...
Not doing as well in the pool, but oh well.

teh Goats win!

You're gonna beat me with two guys out on a bye. How pathetic is that?

13 points ahead of shaw and she still has her QB and TE to play....i have to hope that rivers gets injured or shut out, and that Olsen does nothing vs the falcons.

It's always frustrating when your fantasy team members are playing each other in a given week. In this case, I think the average worked out well enough, even if it is lopsided.

I could still win this week. It's possible.

I'm beat.

shaw only needs 3 pts for her QB.

sigh

You know... (no, you don't). I have Randy Moss in in the league I'm in. Guy hasn't done squat for the last three weeks and wouldn't you know it... the week I don't play him he gets 30 points! To make matters worst... the guy I replaced him with didn't do shit.

NEVER bench Moss.

There are a handful of guys that you just have to ignore the matchup, and start them every week. I learned that last year when P.Manning was slumping. just hang in. I've started TO every week despite his lack of production.

And you're (checking)... last in your division then eh? [/taunt]

right. I'll do you for that.

Unless Denver's D implodes, Glatt's gonna win our battle.

I have defeated WHIP by 100 points.

Your team was superior, his team was weak.

So I learned... the hard way. I should've figured it out with the Brett Favre parallel. What I mean is...

...I picked up Brett Favre by accident. He was just there in the pool of unused Quarterbacks. Couldn't believe he was really there. So what, he's old (40). Man's a great QB. Brought Green Bay to the Superbowl two years ago. I saw him and scooped him up (I dropped Donovan). My alternate QB is Matt Ryan who is doing rather well.

I'll have to try and get in y'alls Fantasy Football league next year if you got room for one more.

always room for one more, guvnah

Troop is putting the wood to the Goats.

week in, week out....i suck bigtime.

each week, my team looks good on paper....and each week, some kind of exception occurs.

it's OK, though.....I still have fun playing the game. really.

yeah.


great week, everybody....great week. whoo!


hoo!



woo....



hoo...

grumble grumble

I forgot to change out my bye players.

D'oh!

I'm in 2nd to last place on the league I'm in. The guy in last place hasn't moved a player since he started in week one. I think he quit.

What's sad is that I am 3rd in total points.

I'm such a loser. :headbag:

this year is ugly.....for me...

man...my team is so lame


the guru says that the sysadmins will beat me 125 to 77 this week.....

it is to cry

Luck o' the drawer, my team is averaging over 100 a week and has scored the most points of any team three weeks in a row. Last two years I was the suck!

I'm in danger of letting whip pass me if I don't take the ponies out to the shed. My defense is the suck.

If I don't lose any more I might get that wild card spot. Not likely with my low scores though I guess. Oh well, looks like suicide again for me....

Yahhh !! im Winning !!!

well i Wus winning !

Well done, Shawnee.

So, did I win this thing yet, or what?

you didn't play this year, ma'am.

Squeaker in progress despite earlier guru predictions: LJ is up 3 on me, I have Santonio Holmes tomorrow who has only scored fewer than 3 once but faces a tough pass D.

don't worry....I'm a mush

lumberjim wrote:

I'll be claiming Shawnee's victory as my own. Go Shaw!

Absolutely, I share all my winnings with you, Clod, without whom I would not be here today! :)

Good game glatt. I'm just happy when I remember to change out my bye players, so this was fun.

Don't encourage me, I'll just start clearing my throat ostentatiously every time you get a raise...

Wow, the power rankings #1 and #2 are between me and Fred for the last five weeks. For the next three weeks we only play in our division. The West division is Fred, Jinx, Syc and Shaw, and they have streaks of W6, W4, W3, and W3 respectively. It's definitely the toughest division now, and Jinx still has a chance if Fred loses two of the next three games.

I was thinking "hey, I've won a couple but I'm not getting anywhere because they're all winning too."

Pretty fun!

I started off the season really strong, but I suck now. What happened?

My QB, Matt Ryan, left the game in the 1st quarter with a toe injury, and I got a big zero from him.

WHIP is beating me by 19 points.

I still have two players left to play, but WHIP is done. The gurus say my two players will earn me 19 points. So this contest with WHIP this week can go either way, even without my quarterback. I want to beat him again. I need to break my losing streak.

Boy I'm glad I had Favre in... and the Jets, wow. Syc will need a miracle game out of Brady to win at this point. I really want that wild card spot though.

How many people go on to the playoffs?

Lisa still has a shot to beat Fred. She has one player left, a #2 RB for New Orleans who gets more than 10 points about a third of the time. Then, Jinx, if you beat Fred next week....

i kinda hope you win, cause if i remember correctly, i projected you to win the whole thing.
goat lost, so its between you and me.
if you win, you should be with both feet in the play-offs, if not, it'll go down to the final week probably.
good luck

glatt;613662 wrote:

4

Fred's bench tends to score more than my starters... I'd be thrilled with the wild card.

Fred's team is good. How did he lose two games?

W.HI.P;613698 wrote:

um no... at least not yet

you would have had to score 72 points. I started to correct him too....but then i realized you needed 60 points plus whatever Pierre Thomas put up.....

it was actually closer than i thought it could be....Drew Brees is a freak.

Now I've lost. :(

Fred suddenly has four injured players, including his TE, a top WR and a top RB.

Unfortunately he has a top backup for his RB. But he looks vulnerable!

Shitballs. I totally shoulda had Warner in...

Great game J - at this moment it's Fred 71, you 70... but you have a half of Favre left, and Fred has 60 minutes of a TE who hasn't scored more than 6 since week one. It's a nail-biter! If Favre puts up another 10 points - you probably have it!

I have no nails left.

Woohoo!!

So, do I have this right...?

Glatt and UT will win their divisions and go to the playoffs. The 3rd division win spot will be mine if Fred loses his game next week and I win mine (he'd get the wild card) OR if Fred wins his game, he wins the division and I get the wild card.

Eh?

i'd say yes.....looks like the 4 spots are sewn up at this point. just a matter of seeding now.

this is by far my worst week yet.

PLAYOFFS:
jinx @ plthjinx

UT @ glatt

it's AWN

All right Ferd, bring it. I think this is my year to be in the championships.

I'm an underdog, but I've got a good feeling about this one. Watch out, Tony.

Yeah yeah. Enjoy Maurice Jones-Drew in tonight's game. If he has a good night he'll put up 150 yards and a few TDs.

"if"

Undertoad;618294 wrote:

Maurice Jones-Drew's energy level: Jacksonville's star running back is finishing his first full season as the team's featured back, and he appears to be wearing down. He has averaged just 69 rushing yards and 3.4 yards per carry over the last four games. He averaged 96 rushing yards and 5.1 yards per carry in the first nine games. The Jaguars will need him fresh and ready to go in order to beat the Colts.

Bar graph at the bottom

you might do better starting Gore.

but then....I finished 5-9 so.....

Yeah I sat him in my other league in favor of Wells. I'm hoping the Cards are all butt hurt from last week...

They've been using Gore in a more limited role. Last week was a fluke.

well, then you'd better wear the socks that have handgrips on them this weekend.

you forgot to take your sock puppet off

Bwaahahahahahahaaa! :lol:

d'oh!

I really wasn't sure it was you until jinx told you to get back to work, then this confirmed. I thought I was giving someone I didn't even know a rash of shit. Glad to know it was you. :)

jinx and plyhijinx are even money

tony is laying 6 vs glatt



my money is on jinx and tony.

parlay bet of $100 pays $630

step right up step right up.....



.....does that sound like i know what I'm talkin' aboot?

in related news: Jones Drew scores 26 points (surprisingly NOT his season high.....33, 31, 29 point games make this #4)

...so my mushness is confirmed even through a sock puppet filter.....

UT's probably feeling pretty over-confident right now. I've got him right where I want him.

how tf did you get such a good team.
not only are you gonna win this division, but you're odds on favorite to win it all.

i'd have a better shot if this was an online draft.
not much to do here but watch what falls in your lap.
i lack at qb, so it'll be tough to compete.

[COLOR="Blue"]bullies[/COLOR]
not bad at all, you've got a well rounded team.
if it wasn't for ruffriders, you'd be able to win this division.

[COLOR="Red"]goats[/COLOR]
i would have thought you'd be a contender based on your past goats.
this is does not look good for you.
drew brees should have another good year, and you've got some wide recievers, but you're non-existant at running back, and you hold one of the weakest defences in the nfl....

[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Purple"]east[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR="Green"]eaglegreen[/COLOR]
again, you're a competitor.
you will compete for this division, but you're out-classed by ruffriders team.

you've got just as much possibilities as eaglegreen at winning this division

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]sysadmins[/COLOR]

you have no qb.... you'll have to get one, or you will be bel;ow .500

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]rainbow[/COLOR]
its not really gonna work for you.
you have too many players that shouldn't be in your roster...make some changes or you'll lose more games than you win.

[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Purple"]west[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR="Green"]riverrats[/COLOR]
nice team, you're the favorite in this division.
you lack 1 running back, but other than that, you're elite.

[COLOR="blue"]warbird[/COLOR]
you have an average team, and only due to the lack of serious opponents in your division can you have hope

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]mostlydead[/COLOR]

no running backs, trade for one at least....also, kurt is questionable at qb, and your back-up is mediocre.

[COLOR="Red"]sycamore[/COLOR]
no wide recievers, no running back, gives you the worst record in the cellar league 2009

Well, I have shot at being half right?

I'm taking a clobbering. Damn it to crap.

It will be totally bogus if the warbirds win this. plthjinx is CLEARLY not managing his team.

*sigh* Just got my team squared away in time for elimination...

My plan of making Tony feel secure is working perfectly. He probably thinks he's going to win. But Jacobs hasn't played yet. This is going to be one to tell the grandchildren.

Okay you put him to sleep, time to drop the hammer.

I have to admit this is has been tough for me--my research had produced some high-scoring games, but luck just wasn't on my side! Oh well, may the best win...

Well, all right then. :redface:


Good job, Tony!

Thanks man now I get to lose to Fred.

The line isn't in yet but I think the guru is pointing at me being the favorite.

The guru is saying that several of my players get an advantage against bad opponents.

Of course we know about how crappy the guru is... it will be a good final

I just looked and it has you over Ferd 126-107. I wouldn't bet either way on this one...

Good season y'all!

Damn fine season. Good luck fellas!

weekly

if that's the case I apologize for that comment. It seemed to me that you had started players on bye weeks and injuries since about week 8....and having not heard from you, I assumed you had lost interest.

After looking at it closer....i see changes made along the way, and I retract my statement. It will in fact NOT be bogus if you win.

mea culpa

lol no problem. i just lurk around...been depressed a bit so haven't felt much like posting.

You can't be depressed with your #1 power ranking

verrrry true!

vs



for the championship!

I bought a Shamwow to award to the winner of the football pool...but that's all fucked up and no way to tell who the winner is at this point....so I would like to offer it to the Champeen of this here game.

also,,,Ferd....the cowboys cut Nick Folk....you need a new kicker, stat.


sham wow to the winner!

WOW!

This game is great in progress, and watching it and the Eagles game at the same time is practically surreal. We're exchanging the lead constantly, and it's all dependent on the Eagles - Fred having Eagles WR Jackson, TE Celek and the Eagles defense, and me having Eagles K Akers. All our other players are not doing too much.

I had the lead 80-79, now there's a big 35 yard pass to Celek and it's Fred 82-80!

Ohhh! Celek big TD now it's Fred 93-81.

111-104 Sysadmins

Can't think there will be enough defense adjustments to make a difference...

Dude!!!???? Your kicker!!!!

What a close game. It could go either way. In his last 6 games, Fred's kicker hasn't scored more than 6 points. If he plays the same in this gaem, UT wins. If he has a slightly better than average game, Fred can win. It's close.

Edit: Oops. Wait. I just saw that Dallas had cut that kicker. UT won!

speech!

ps....


THE SHAMWOW IS IN THE MAIL.

Good show! Congrats UT

Griff;620931 wrote:

Dude!!!???? Your kicker!!!!

I totally warned him too.

I AM NOT DISAPPOINT

I attribute my success to the luck of the draft, which gave me three great RBs right outta the box; and also to Fred's inability to pay close attention to the situation.

Congrats UT!

Bravo Master Toad!

did you get the shamwow?

I did sir, thanks very much!
