fantasy football
just taking the temperature at this point, but would any of you be interested in setting up a free fantasty football league on yahoo sports this year? {/geek}
I've never been clear on how these things work. I mean, is there a fantasy cheerleader squad to go along with it? These things are important to know.
it's fun. i used to think it was totally lame and geeky.
what you do is:
on a prescribed day, we draft a team of players. running backs, quarterbacks, receivers, a tight end, a fullback, a defense and a kicker.
each week, your team is matched against another, and the stats that your players earn in real life count as points within the fantasy scoring system. you win or lose against your opponent, and your record grows. there is lots of good trash talking, trading, and it changes the way you watch games. it gives you more interest in games you would normally tune out. it takes minimal time investment, and no $$, so even those who don't know football too well can do well.
I may kibbitz. (Or maybe you need a commissioner for the league?? :cool: ) I've never been interested in running a fantasy team because part of what I find interesting is the interaction between the players on a team. So slicing and dicing the players' performance apart from their RL teams has never been that appealing to me personally.
you ever hear the term 'wet blanket', steve?:)
I'd be in if you kept it simple. Don't need more work in my life disguised as fun.
But I get to be the Packers!! Oooo, I love the Packers.

I prefer "stick in the mud," and "grouchface" seems to be my kids' favorite. But yes, "wet blanket" has crossed my ears a time or two.
Even so... the more I think about it, the more I think you're gonna need an impartial commissioner to keep everybody in line.

you can call your team "Brett Favre's Big Hairy Ass" if you want to.
The one time i played in a real live league, with "prizes" for the winners, and "membership fees"; we all designed helmets to go with our team names. I was The Butchers. I had a meat cleaver on my helmet. Mice Nuts won the superbowl. My lame-o boss was "The Eagles" .......dork.
but, if you want to be "The Packers" that's ok with me...just make sure there is a box of fudge on their helmet .;)
I have no friggen clue, but I'm always in anything fun :)
If not, I will just spectate and drink.
I've been thinking about this myself. I did it with PhillyBlog a few years ago, and I'd like to do it this year...if someone is willing to take the lead on putting it together.
YAHOO BABY
jim i'm actually excited to see you post

Get away from here. As far as you can.
You don't want to mess with a Bears fan.... :flipbird: :rattat:
Both your teams suck and won't do shit in the playoffs. :)
Both your teams suck and won't do shit in the playoffs. :)
Syc you must be talking about our fantasy teams.....because Da Bears just went to the SuperBowl and have the best depth of any team. Chris Harris was what, the #4 safety on Da Bears and got shipped off to another team (forgot at moment which) and is starting?
Ba! Thought you meant....y'know....football.
Fantasy Soccer Dana?
I'm sorry but that's laughable :D
Do they even do fantasy soccer? I'd join that too.
Fresh, the Bears in the Super Bowl last year means about, oh, jack shit in today's NFL. :) Seriously, Grossman is not that great of a QB, and there are a lot of questions in both their offense and defense. Plus they play in a weak division. We'll see...IMO, there has been far less consistency in the NFC over the past decade compared to the AFC.

LALLALALALALLALLAALAL I'm not listening!! :unsure:
Go Bears!!

We do...we have done for years...we call it Fantasy Football...We call it that because the game you call soccer, we (and indeed most of the world) call football. (Though to complicate things our slang for football is soccer.)

Do they have Fantasy Futbol?
automated draft is august 19th. easy to do, free. all you have to do is join before then, and rank your players. the rest happens automatically. you can design your own helmet or logo, too.
So hypothetically, all I would have to do is randomly assign ranks to a list of players I've never heard of... and since this stuff is about as volatile as the stock market, I could never login to the site again and still kick all your asses by the end of the season? It could happen, right?
yes indeed. you might just want to be check in a time or two to watch your bye weeks. but, i've seen guys come in 3rd in leagues they had obviously forgotten.
cmon...we need 9 more people.
I don't understand American Football. It's like rugby without the padding right?
no. they wear more pads than rugby players do. and they dont keep going like rugby players....it's far more structured and regimented by rules.
fantasy football is all about statistics made by individual players.
the thing with this is....that if we dont get the required 12 teams to fill the league, it wont be formed.
umm...meant to say rugby with padding.
Anybody ever play that footbal game on the commodore 64, Endzone, I think it was called?
American football is more of an old-fashioned military exercise, or a chess game. It doesn't compare, and it isn't meant to compare, to rugby.
you are all welcome to join my fantasy Premiership mini league.. there are only 3 of us in it right now. it is at ESPN.com. $100million to buy your team with.
League name : UFOLD
password: uphold
any issues just PM me.
i'll join yours ....if you join mine.....;)

nope
i don't follow american football enough to even pick any players.
cmon...we need 9 more people.
can i play - if i don't throw like a girl?
absolutely. you dont even have to throw. ability to trash talk is a plus though.
Yeah...like this: I'm going to eat the first born of every person that loses to me this season.
And buy pizza for everyone who beats you? Get ready to fill up the tank. It is not a short drive to my house from St. Louis.
If you want to eat that shit, sure...I wouldn't recommend it. :)
I was being frugal. Change that to steak.
alrighty then, i have joined. since there are only 4 now, what happens if the required 12 do not join buy sunday? if i read correctly we will be "dis-banded? (i can do some trash talkin')
i fear you are right. it's not looking real good. we need help here people....even if you dont want to play.....just join up so the rest of us can. flint, griff, tony, bruce, hlj, cmon men!
clobble, labrat, jinx, wolf.....lets go ladies!
Perhaps you should throw some pm's their way. Maybe folks really, really want to hop in, they just aren't reading the thread.

hmmm...
oh, yeah...i added the league name with the quote i put in. i assumed that the link it included would take you right to it as it does for me.....but added the name just in case.....
oh, and thanks...i'm gonna crush you.
We are 5. Time for some arm twisting.
If we're coming up short you could fill the league out with bogus teams.
If you guys just need a dummy, that describes me perfectly, but I won't be able to actively participate.
If that's the case, let me know.
Alright. I'm in, for you guys' sake. I ranked my players based on who had the coolest names. Prepare to have your asses handed to you.
Cool!
I need witnesses to LJ getting spanked.
dude, you've known me long enough to know that I always win.
cuhhhhhmooooonnnnnnnn!
5 more peepul needed.
i....want.....you.....
All right Damn it im IN !!
Now how do we do this ????
Well hell I done done that !!
I are there , Where is you ???
reload. youre not really there
I'll join up, I'll sit with Hungo in the dumb corner :)
ToGgie, get your arse in here.
1 SPOT LEFT.....actually, if there is someone else that wants in...'Taintwhistle' is a dummy team i made.
Lj, honey, youre killing me.....
*cough*guaranteed*cough*
i don't know what you're talking about.
one more player!
if we get disbanded because we missed by one member, i'm gonna become difficult to deal with. my opinion of the cellar as a collective is already tilted toward smarmy nancyism as it is.....so....man up ...somebody!
flint? you little bitch! are there no lurkers that want in? fuckin a!
I'm so screwed.
I dont even know the stoopid positions
if we dont get one more, it wont matter
if we do...i'll help ya. and anyone else that wants it.
create another bogus account?
Ok, I'm in. Apparently I've done this before, because they had my old info when I signed in. :eek:
you need to pick a different team name.....if you can....you and ducks are both called The Cellar.
Oops. How do we change that?
looks like you can change team names up until draft time.
Cool, I figured it out...
yay, blue.....
I changed taintwhislte to The Vacancies.
I'm gonna change my real team to The Bullies
Ohhh, I thought I had to put The Cellar in there.
I might change mine too
yeah, I thought so too. It's easy to change though
Well, fie. This is what I get for procrastinating...full up!
Weird thing, though...it seems I was already registered for the NFL.com site. I don't remember ever doing that.
looks like my bogus team had better luck in the draft.
jinx's team ( buncha girls ) looks strong as death. except for week 4 where she's totally fooked as all of her RB's are on bye.
are they saying that, like, the 12 best QBs are selected now? And the rest go into free agency?
24, actually, as the teams each select 2 qbs.
there is a free agent list and a waiver wire and all .....you can add players from free agency, but you have to drop someone to make room on your roster. you can trade with other people too. I would like to be clear that i will not be trading between my 2 teams, and if someone wants a very well set team (spode?) i'll hand over control of 'the Vacancies' to them.
Trades and waiver moves get listed on the site and emailed to the teams so you can see whats going on. I think that jinx and I should probably not trade either.
I didn't realize that it would do the draft at midnight...ah well...my team don't look too bad.
i don't know when it actually happened. i was up until 1am and it hadn't gone off yet.
THE TEAMS:
EAST DIVISION:
Buncha Girls - Jinx
Monkey Ballers - the other guy
The Austin Capybaras- Clodfobble
The Vacancies - Elspode

But can you upload that to your team's page on the league thinger?
I can do whatever I want.
can you shoot a staple into a screen door lock?

All your points are belong to us.
Let the Battle for the Bucket begin!
we should design a trophy.
It should be made of the bodies of the Dwellars we (the fantasy football owners) deem inferior.
I was actually thinking more along the lines of a Monkey or a typewriter.....or both.
MonkeyBowl I ?
Cellar Bowl?
I'd like W.H.I.P. to do some handicapping for us. but that probably wont happen.
If I got a good look your league, I could certainly determine who's gonna win it.

I wish I had joined your league
Gimme a link and I'll tell you what i think
there are a couple people that took teams jsut to fill the league. you may be able to coax control of a team away from one of them....or they volunteer to give it to you......although, we may find that we've converted some otherwise indifferent folks to the game.
anyway,
here we are
He's not going to want somebody else's crappy team, though.
Although it could be a challenge, to start with a team that, say, made its draft picks based on who had the coolest names :), and somehow make brilliant trades to end up with a winning team.
He can have my team, if someone can tell me how to transfer it...
Its alright guys, the draft is the key to success, although I have won leagues that i've actually missed the draft.
If someone copy's and pastes the draft results, then i could clearly have an opinion of who will win, that link given just leads to that main page.
I use Yahoo for fantasy.

How weird that I ended up with three Eagles players. Or is it? I don't know how the random draft works.
Last night, I carefully reviewed my roster in preparation for the start of the season tonight. I think I got a pretty good hand, given that I forgot about the draft.
1)[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Green"]Eagle green[/COLOR][/SIZE]
You are the BIG FAVORITE to win this thing, even if mcnabb gets injured ...your picks are close to perfect...You lack a bit in the WR.
If I was to place money down on who's gonna win this thing, it would be on your team hands down!
2)[COLOR="Green"]Goats[/COLOR]
I may be wrong to rank you so high as the teams directly below you look better overall, but you've picked up some key players that should produce consistent points for you.
You will lose against some teams below you.
3)[COLOR="Green"]Southside Sycamoores[/COLOR]
You may actually finish in first in this league...C.Palmer will be a key to winning in the playoffs as he will produce more points than any other player should he remain healthy. The Bears are best defence with a very very easy schedule. Your WR's are elite ..you could use 1 RB.
Good luck
4)[COLOR="Green"]Toadville Sysadmins[/COLOR]
I'm not saying you won't win it, I just think the 3 teams above you are better
5)[COLOR="Blue"]The Bullies[/COLOR]
Your key units are stellar, but you lack depth to win this.
Unless of course you make the right moves.
6)[COLOR="Blue"]Buncha girls[/COLOR]
There are reasons that you cannot win this league.
Your picks are great, your team is great....
One of the keys to success in fantasy is to know who plays who, and WHEN ...at the end of the season, when you're in the playoffs, ou're gonna lose, because your opponents will have key players playing weak defences.
7)[COLOR="Blue"]The bimbos[/COLOR]
Excellent picks, I like your team...there are a few teams better.
You obviously know the game though.
8)[COLOR="Blue"]Ratts rogues[/COLOR]
You picked some heavy duty units in the draft, but IMO, you made some serious mistakes in some rounds which will cost you.
I could take this team and possibly do something with it as there are plenty of moves you can make..trades, free agents.
Make he moves and make the playoffs
9)[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]The vacancies[/COLOR]
Not that bad of a team, you know your stuff, but you lack knowledge in fantasy, you're gonna lose a lot of points due to lack of quality in key positions. P.manning will win you some games,and should you make the playoffs, ou would be strong at the end, but i don't think you'll make the playoffs
10)[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Monkey Ballers[/COLOR]
The teams weak, you do have some good players, but you lack the players that will produce the points...ou will win some, but you ill be below .500 at the end of the year
11)[COLOR="DarkOrange"]We are the troop[/COLOR]
Its not gonna work, I'm not saying you'll finished 11th, bu you will be in the bottom half at the end of the year.
I could not take this team and do anything with it.
You lack too much in too many positions.
A.Johnson is a pretty good pick in that round, but you will mostly lose.
12)[COLOR="Red"]The Austin Capybaras [/COLOR]
Ok...umm, I assume this is a team to fill the league up?
I've never seen such a bad team...final record=0-16
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
This is my team in the last draft i did:
QB:P.Manning
HB:W.Parker
HB:B.Jacobs
WR:Lavernius Coles
WR:T.Glenn
WR:C.Chambers
TE:A.Gates
K:M.Stover
DEF:Chicago Bears
Back-ups
QB:Grossman
HB:A.Peterson(Vikings)
HB:L.Betts
WR:M.Muhammed
TE:LJ.Smith
One of the key things to success in fantasy is to know when your players Bye's are, look at the match-ups of that week and pick up a QB WR RB that is facing a weak defence that week.
Or in the defence bye, a team that is facing a weak offence like the Dolphins or the Bucs.
To win a fantasy league takes effort. You got to stick around and look into things. Some leagues involve the 10-12 players putting $100 into it, winner takes all, so you gotta know, you know?
thanks for taking the time, whip. the capybaras were selected by the players names being appealing to clodfobble. I look forward to teasing whoever loses to them.
And Blue wants to get rid of her team...silly goose!
I will eat Jim this weekend, followed by his children. I will save Jinx for some conquesting. ;)
He can have my team, if someone can tell me how to transfer it...
You're Eagle green??
Why would you wanna give up your team? Its Stellar!
You're gonna win this thing
She's been drinking a bit too much Schuylkill Punch lately, but we'll get her straightened out.

Yuk ..I don't like gin, unless its covered by dry martini and some olives.
From what I gather, she wasn't even there at the draft, she got the potential winning team by random.
Hey blue! In the TE position, bench LJ smith and have T.Gonzales starting every week.
Trade Hasselbeck for Mcnair if the Bimbos accept as the Eagles have a week 5 bye..Seattle plays the Steelers, while the Ravens play the week passing defence 49ers that week
Sycamore...drop the Panthers defence and pick up Arizona's.
Week 9 is the bears bye where the Panthers face the titans in tennesee and Arizona plays against week Tampa Bay.
You could also go after Mcnair of Baltimore by trading for him with Delhomme, as the your C.Palmer and the bengals also have a week 5 bye
2)[COLOR="Green"]Goats[/COLOR]
I may be wrong to rank you so high as the teams directly below you look better overall, but you've picked up some key players that should produce consistent points for you.

Thanks whip. Any advice down the road?
Last night I dreamed about Fantasy Football. I believe it was after reading WHIP's post and the ratings - I was thinking about who I needed to get rid of and who to pick up. egads
Thanks whip. Any advice down the road?
YW
Yeah, Drop Buffalo's defence, it will do you no good on the ravens bye week 8 as the Bills face the Jets in New York.
Jacksonville would be their prime replacment as they face the Bucs week 8. Next best is the Giants as they face the Dolphins.
Jester, lol@Dreaming about fantasy
Heh, that's awesome. I'm in the midst of a major life upheaval, and it turns out that my random FF team could win. Ah, the little things. :)
However, I'm on a spotty wi-fi connection until Tuesday--can I wait til then to bench LJ smith and have T.Gonzales starting every week?

Look, I don't even know if you have to, it might be like that already.
All I'm saying is when you get a chance to look at your team, make sure that beside the TE position, it say T Gonzales and not LJ Smith.
Not that LJ isn't worthy, its just that, overall,
you will get more points from TG.
Blessed Be
thanks for taking the time, whip. the capybaras were selected by the players names being appealing to clodfobble. I look forward to teasing whoever loses to them.
looks like i wont have to wait very long. she's down by 3 with Toomer and Burress yet to play.
[COLOR=Black]Monkey ballers[/COLOR], your name is mud. Clobble, you might want to start a quarterback that actually plays in games next week. if both of your guys are backups, pick one up from free agency.
...and after 3 whole plays of the cowboys/giants game.....cloddfobble has her 1st victory. burress's td = 6 pts.
Clobble, you might want to start a quarterback that actually plays in games next week. if both of your guys are backups, pick one up from free agency.
Um... Okay. I dropped Russell JaMarcus and picked up Josh Booty? It said Booty plays on the 16th.
Booty's a better name anyway.
spode probably thought he had a lock with 115 points....but what's this?
Tony Romo
scores
42 points for jinx?!....she's within one point and each have a player left to play on Monday night!
oh, the drama!. It;s 115 to 114. a shoot out, indeed. spode has
T. Houshmandzadeh (WR)and jinx has
S. Graham (K)left to play. It's a toss up. They're both Bengals, and play a tough Ravens defense......
Um... Okay. I dropped Russell JaMarcus and picked up Josh Booty? It said Booty plays on the 16th.
Booty's a better name anyway.
no,no.....i mean you should pick up a quarterback that will start for his team. Your QB's are all backups that wont be playing on Sundays, and therefore...will score 0 every week for you.
Rex Grossman is out there.
Matt Schaub,
David Garrard....
Joey Harrington?
I'd pick up Garrard and Harrington. drop your 2 qbs......then look at the defenses the 2 new guys play to decide who to start each week.
Crud. Shoulda run Big Ben out there.
as I sit in the union computer lab waiting for my 10 o clock, I devote my entire time to studying fantasy football (no I'm not in the cellar league). I am a pretty much lock for my yahoo public league week 1 but in my custom league with buddies back home my own Rudi Johnson must outscore Edgerrin James TONIGHT. Oh the drama, anxiety that Fantasy football causes. You know it's football season when you wake up check player news reports every waking moment on the computer.

Hey, Spode lost 2 points at some point, putting
him within 1 point of
me.
:D
spode may be the first (among many)to lose to a bunch of girls.
no,no.....i mean you should pick up a quarterback that will start for his team. Your QB's are all backups that wont be playing on Sundays, and therefore...will score 0 every week for you.
Rex Grossman is out there. Matt Schaub, David Garrard....Joey Harrington?
I'd pick up Garrard and Harrington.
Sorry, it's gonna have to be Grossman. I'm not giving up my name strategy. And hey, it got me the fourth-highest score in the whole league this week, dammit!
drop your 2 qbs......then look at the defenses the 2 new guys play to decide who to start each week.
Give me a name that's better than A.J. Feeley, and I'll consider dropping him too. But you can forget that whole "decide who to start each week" nonsense. You're lucky I bothered to figure out how to trade for a free agent. I'm going to spank all of you
without making an effort--that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Is there not enough actual football? Is this like Dungeons and Dragons? So many questions.
no, there is NOT enough actual football. no, it is not like d&d.
the only thing more annoying than fantasy football players is fantasy football playa haters.
I need to pay attention to my team. After weeks of neglect, they got out there and bit it for me. Way to go guys!
crap - freakin' Eli - what's up with that? Gotta do some tradin' - figure stuff out
I just want to be clear... how is it not like D&D ???
i've never played d&d - this is actually the first time i've ever played ff
If you're building a team of characters, to compete in imaginary battle, based on statistical attributes, then you're playing D&D.
Jocks are supposed to hate Nerds (according to Homer) so I don't know what to make of this.
I just want to be clear... how is it not like D&D ???
In D&D, you have complete control over your Player Character's actions.
In FF, you have no control over the actions of the team members.
There are other obvious differences, but I believe that one is the most substantial.
And, we're all way fucking cooler as a whole than any group that plays D&D. No offense to those folks...it just is.
Looks like the Lumberjim family had the closest games this week. Jim and I were close...it was literally down to the wire last night, but the Sycamores prevailed over the Bullies 87-84. Jinx and the Girls kept it close as well, but Ep and the Vacancies eked out a 124-121 win, thanks to a huge day from the Vikings' defense.

so...you still have feely starting.....and uh...he had surgery today.
FANTASY ANALYSIS Unless you're a Donovan McNabb owner and have him on your team for some insurance, Feeley should be ignored in all Fantasy leagues.
looks like someone else got grossman.
try again, k?
FINE... But I'm not telling you who I picked up, so maybe I won't get ganked out of my selection this week by another team. :P
Did she just use "gank"? Oh hell...
Oooooh! Zip loses Jon Kitna to a concussion! Ouch!
I'm looking for Randal El to put up career numbers tonight... good thing my real life team is kicking butt!
Any defensive issues in Cleveland and Cincinatti?

standingsi'm tempted to start Jason campbell against the giants this week instead of Brady vs the Bills. i just cant do it though.
Equip him with the enchanted sneakers of +10 dexterity.
Anyone want to buy my team? The bidding will start at $400 million dollars.
i'm gonna beat zippy's ass this week. then i'm gonna take his mother, dorothy mantooth out for a nice seafood dinner, and NEVER CALL HER AGAIN.
the goats have a 4 point lead on the sycamores, with a player each yet to play. griff has T.O. and syc has the Bears D. As it happens, the Cowboys are at Chicago tonight. head to head. you couldn't write it any better.
zippy is my bitch.
The Bullies are 2-1, tied for 1st in the Western Division, thanks to Griff kicking sycamore right in the nuts.
OK...week 4 is the first bye week. make sure you check your lineups! If your guy has a bye in week 4, he won't be playing, so you should sub him out!
power ranking
a winnar UT is nawt

I was nonplussed rooting for your Boys but TO just kicks butt.
Oh and it looks like Bulger will be doing serious bench time.
that's the beauty of fantasy football, flint. it gives you a rooting interest in a game that would otherwise hold no interest for you.
i got nothin
Your real world team had a pretty decent day.
I got my ass handed to me by Griff quite nicely. The Bears D just sucked elephant balls yesterday, and my WRs didn't do shit.
It was cool going down to the wire like that, after the first half I thought Goats were out of luck. Due to the vagaries of scheduling, my Oakland guys won't be playing Cleveland every week...
Wow. I might win this week.
yeah, but against a bunch of girls ::fingerpop/twirl::
Yeah, but she's hawt so that gives her the advantage.
I'm 1-2 in both my yahoo leagues. Not a great way to rush out of the gates, but it's all about momentum transitioning into playoffs. And lucky seeding. And comprising sufficient bench units when starters sit for the last couple games of the season.
i'm going to lose to clodfobble this week. i totally deserve it too.
i got nothin
i revamped my team with free agents and i still got nothin
i blame whip and his misreading of the terrible san diego defence. :D
whip has plainly lost it. ask clodfobble for tips!
I like that you called it a hat.
"hat" ... it's the best part of the costume
Not, gonna believe FF margins ANYMORE. Freaks
Wow. I had no idea how bad my team was....
I was really counting on you to kick Patrick's ass too. His 'undefeated' bullshit is really getting on my nerves...
I'm pretty pissed off that he's still doing better than me. We'll have to fix that.
My kicker has a bye week? How does one remedy this?
sign a new one, and release an underperformer, or make a trade for one whose bye has gone by...one that's not bi.....
It would be cool if there were a way to force a player to play a certain position. Like have Warren Sapp as a kicker.
Huh...I never knew this...from
Wikipedia:
Sapp was raised in Plymouth, Florida, a small, rural community on the Lake County/Orange County, Florida line. During the late 1980s, he earned widespread recognition as an outstanding football player at Apopka High School in Apopka, Florida as a linebacker, tight end and punter.Byes: Bengals, Vikings, Raiders, Eagles
If your players are on these teams......you need to sub them out. I was just looking and i see that spode is starting 3 guys with byes, blue, ducks clobble all have 2, otg 1.
chop chop
close game between
zippy and ut......at the half. UT has a 2 point lead.....and Benson (bears RB) with a half left to play....zippy has a receiver on both teams with that same half to play. I think zippy might pull this out......favre is on fire.
huh...same deal with
jester and sycamore......syc is up by 2 with the bears D, jester has the pack's K....I say jester takes that game....
Ep probably would have won today if he had subbed out Westbrook and the Vikings' D. Not sure if he forgot or what.
The Bears scored late, and Favre misplayed the last two minutes of the game. I win...whoohoo!
the second half was a debacle for the packers.....after a clinic in the first.
UT beat me but Not by much !!
Just so everyones aware, I took control of the Bimbos last week, so ya'll watch out... Although Inherited, I know my stuff!
well, alriiiighty then. ::checks schedule:: you'll be hosting the bullies next week. prepare to die.
Heyyyyy, WHIP.....ya spoil sport....I wanted them to think it was a mere Aussie whalloping their arse.
Well previously I had nothin', but I revamped my team and now I got somethin'. I'm not sure what.
Heyyyyy, WHIP.....ya spoil sport....I wanted them to think it was a mere Aussie whalloping their arse.
that would have been dishonest, though
The Bears scored late, and Favre misplayed the last two minutes of the game. I win...whoohoo!
shut up!!!!! - three freakin' weeks in a roll - this sucks
i would have said - just like the VOLS, but who woulda thought we'd beat Georgia, seriously beat, like slammed, like totally. DANG
Heyyyyy, WHIP.....ya spoil sport....I wanted them to think it was a mere Aussie whalloping their arse.
I'm sorry... you never told me to keep it a secret or I woulda.
Let me at least correct myself.
It is our team.
We will give them a whalloping..k?
that would have been dishonest, though
And the problem would be........?
I'm sorry... you never told me to keep it a secret or I woulda.
Let me at least correct myself.
It is our team.
We will give them a whalloping..k?
Yeah, OUR team....coz I designed the hat n stuff. ;)
My team is not last in my division. Not bad considering I have not paid any attention to them. Good work team.
Cluster of players in a bye this week, injuries, and end of a drug suspension leaves a weird line-up... Anybody want to trade for some Jets?
WEEK INFO
Teams with Byes:
Indianapolis Colts,
Buffalo Bills,
San Francisco 49ers,
Pittsburgh Steelers,
Denver Broncos,
Detroit Lions
lots of players out this week. make sure you check your rosters!
tony, you have 15 players on your team. if you don't cut someone, you'l be disqualified this week.
I need 15 man - my main WR has the flu!
I actually went in and moved some players around this week. We'll see how that works out.
I lied. I do look, everytime, at the margin of scoring and try to make necessary changes. I better freakin' win this week. But, it's not like I can do anything about it, if I don't.:neutral:
I love it when there's one player left in a Monday night game to finish a match. Now, all the Giants have to do is get Shockey 125 yards passing and two TDs, and I will beat Jinx this week.
Hey, it could happen!!!
[Ivan]You will lose.[/Drago]
tom brady is sick
that means he's freaking ridiculously amazing
Question What is the Coach Rating I see on GameCenter's Preview page?
Answer Coach Rating is:
The number of fantasy points this coach's team has scored this season, shown as a percentage of the maximum number of points the owner could have scored if that owner had started the highest scoring players each week. A good owner won't leave points on the bench!

If SD's defense hadn't taken a dump the first four weeks of the season. If Steven Jackson didn't get injured. If Cedric Benson would have been better. I just saw an article on worst fantasy football washouts and three of my starters were in it!!
What's sic is, I have dropped/added the same player at least 2 or 3 times, in the past 7 weeks. Of course, I know that a player is not going to be the same each week, depending on D, so you have to adjust. This week against lj appears to be seriously close. More so, than ones past.
It appears that I only win games where my side scores fewer than 100 pts. If I go over that I get pounded. Good thing TO is quiting on the Cowboys...
Omgz! Blue, fix your team, Splode has 32 points on you and he's leading my division! :eek:
It appears the chickie babes are doing rather well.....oh....I didnt include you in that splode...you are rocking in a suckie kinda way.
I moved some guys around, but I have no idea if my team's fixed now as far as what splode has on me...as long as the ones on bye aren't playing, right??
sigh.
stupid, stupid, stupid, - freaks - idiots - tickin' me off.
OMG, am I the only one that picks IDIOTS? :mad: Obviously. DUI's, sprained ankles...
no, you're not. undertoad is even worse at it. so....you've got that going for you.
Well, that's the highlight of my day:right:
Hey I outscored 5 different teams this week! Just not the one I was playing against.
I am very pleased to have the only win in my division this week. :cheerldr:
your dedication to your team is commendable.
(secret message to guys below)
[COLOR=white]Yo. do whatever you have to do to get your lady into fantasy football. They actually start to like the competition, and get to know players.....then they take an interest in the games......pretty soon, you find that she's tuning into the Sunday night game with out you having to promise to clean the gutters! amazing. [/COLOR]
I don't want the gutters cleaned anyway. I want them replaced.
Hey I outscored 5 different teams this week! Just not the one I was playing against.
I managed to keep it under 100 so I won.
I'm 3-0 since joining this league here, and this week coming up looks pretty easy.
Eagle Green, i'm gonna give you a run for your money!
Yabbut, winning's easy when you deliberately pick good players!
This was the first year I have not played in money games. I think that had an affect on my draft and my participation in this thing. No skin in the game makes it easier to forget.

I always play in money games, but you know what. I find them just as competitive without.
I take 1st in over 50% of money games, and I win at least half of them, so the same income comes my way each season.
This league here, is a tad different. By no mean would I forget it.
Maybe I enjoy it even more.
With money down, it seems more of an obligation then enjoyment.

lol, are you the one who picks by cool sounding names?

Oh great, looks like I may have to actually research again this week. And if I do, I will so win of course.
lol, are you the one who picks by cool sounding names?
Yes! And you'll note, you predicted I'd be 0-16 for the season, but so far I'm 2-5, which is better than or equal to three other teams in the league, all of whom chose their players by more traditional (pah!) methods.
good thing there are guys like plaxico burress. weird name AND gobs of talent.

It makes sense.
Even really bad teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers got a few wins last year.
Did you have any idea how good Plexico was when you picked him?
You should have picked up Gore at RB, he certainly has a name, and ability.
Meh, if one of them was a contender for President the name can't be that weird... I did not know Plaxico was any good, though I had heard the name before. I used to work on a football videogame at one point, so I was familiar with most of the weirder names because we had to help the voicetalent figure out how to pronounce them.
Baseball's awesome for names too. Like Coco Crisp, Milton Bradley...

The board game guy?
[forestgump]it's a household name[/fg]
The board game guy?
Yeah, it may not be such a well-known brand up in Canada... but for basically the entire 20th century, pretty much every single American board game made for children was manufactured by the Milton Bradley company. The baseball player's parents most certainly knew what they were doing when they named their kid Milton.
I believe you will
We were both wrong. Too bad for me there aren't Fantasy EMTs.
I'm going to crush Ut this week. I sent him a text message early in the week....calling him a cock. ...and then i didn't answer the phone when he called..... he's SOoo rattled by now, he'll surely make some horrendous miscalculation and hand me the easy victory. Mwuuu..huuu...huu....haaaaaaagh
Just onnnnnne thing:
When you see the Eagles' slot receiver Kevin Curtis going for 75 yards and a TD, just remember... he's not only beating your precious Cowgirls, he's also on my fantasy squad.
that's all i gots ta say
jinx, please be kind. that's all i got to say.
After losing to fuckfa.. I mean Jim last week?! Sorry, but I need the win.
*cougheaglessuckcough*
my running backs look like milli vanilli!
Showing your age there, jimbob

D'oh.
Bosses are away at SFN meeting, so I'm catching up on some threads I'd been skipping. Shoulda sent me a PM, I would have totally been in. Nxt year I know Big Red and I would be interested. Rats. Looks like this is fun.
Happy Birthday Blue Curacao (Eagle Green)
You're a Scorpio like me.
I wish you the best!

Aww...thank you, WHIP. :)

Who wants to trade me a decent WR so I can beat Sycamore this week? Griff.... Zip? He's winning your division... :ipray::ipray::ipray:
C'mon griff man, gimme T.O.
I'll trade Reggie Bush for him - it's a win-win. C'monnnnnnnn!!!
You a very funny girl jinx!
Don't get too excited, I only have a 26pt lead. Syc's remaining player has scored 28pts the past 2 weeks... it's a nail biter...
4 weeks left. trade deadline is the 14th!
Don't forget, guys...3 games on Thursday: Packers/Lions, Jets/Cowboys and Colts/Falcons. Make sure you check and set your teams by Thursday morning.
you're going down this week, punk.
carson palmer is a bitch, and joseph adai is destined to fail.
You better hope that Brady is ready to go Sunday.
I would if I were as bad as him. ;)
I would either fix up my team or drop my good players. [/hint hint]
We are Troop is disbanded ,
I sent ALL these loosers packing !!!
snag who ya want !!
the playoff picture:
as it stand right now.....were the season to end today....
sycamore, spode and ducks/whip are division leaders. jinx, griff, and I are contenders for the one wild card spot.
tie breakers are winning pctg then total points. at present, jinx has the edge due to her tie, so she would take it.
if jinx beats spode this week, and I beat sycamore.( griff is playing troop...which has no players, so ....syc would take the wild card spot because I'd win our tie breaker and he'd have the next highest point total.
If syc beats me.....i'm probably fucked.
1)Southside Sycamore's
3)Southside Sycamoores
You may actually finish in first in this league...C.Palmer will be a key to winning in the playoffs as he will produce more points than any other player should he remain healthy. The Bears are best defence with a very very easy schedule. Your WR's are elite ..you could use 1 RB.
Good luck
Good stuff, but now with me in the game, you may not win this!
2)The Vacancies
9)The vacancies
Not that bad of a team, you know your stuff, but you lack knowledge in fantasy, you're gonna lose a lot of points due to lack of quality in key positions. P.manning will win you some games,and should you make the playoffs, you would be strong at the end, but i don't think you'll make the playoffs
You are without a doubt a contender as you will probabl make the playoffs
3)The Bimbo's
7)The bimbos
Excellent picks, I like your team...there are a few teams better.
You obviously know the game though.
I'd like to think that I've helped this team get to where it is.
(The new favorites)
4)Buncha Girls
6)Buncha girls
There are reasons that you cannot win this league.
Your picks are great, your team is great....
One of the keys to success in fantasy is to know who plays who, and WHEN ...at the end of the season, when you're in the playoffs, you're gonna lose, because your opponents will have key players playing weak defences.
Its playoff time, and you're almost there, but as i said in the quote...
5)The Bullies
5)The Bullies
Your key units are stellar, but you lack depth to win this.
Unless of course you make the right moves.
Got you right on the money
6)Goats
2)Goats
I may be wrong to rank you so high as the teams directly below you look better overall, but you've picked up some key players that should produce consistent points for you.
You will lose against some teams below you.
Lets see if you can push into the playoffs
7)Eagle Green
1)Eagle green
You are the BIG FAVORITE to win this thing, even if mcnabb gets injured ...your picks are close to perfect...You lack a bit in the WR.
If I was to place money down on who's gonna win this thing, it would be on your team hands down!
Ok, now this is kinda unfair given the fact that I joined the league in your division. I still like your team.
8)Ratt's Rogues
8)Ratts rogues
You picked some heavy duty units in the draft, but IMO, you made some serious mistakes in some rounds which will cost you.
I could take this team and possibly do something with it as there are plenty of moves you can make..trades, free agents.
Make the moves and make the playoffs
On the money
9)Monkey Ballers
10)Monkey Ballers
The teams weak, you do have some good players, but you lack the players that will produce the points...you will win some, but you ill be below .500 at the end of the year
On the money
10)Toadville Sysadmins
4)Toadville Sysadmins
I'm not saying you won't win it, I just think the 3 teams above you are better
Ok, call this sucking up to the Sysadmins
11)The Austin Capybary's
12)The Austin Capybaras
Ok...umm, I assume this is a team to fill the league up?
I've never seen such a bad team...final record=0-16
I'm suprised
12)We are troop
11)We are the troop
Its not gonna work, I'm not saying you'll finished 11th, bu you will be in the bottom half at the end of the year.
I could not take this team and do anything with it.
You lack too much in too many positions.
A.Johnson is a pretty good pick in that round, but you will mostly lose.
On the money
WHIP, I spoke to our league commisioner, and he has agreed to switch the bullies and the toadville sysadmins' divisions.....it will become effective on tuesday next. so..then i'll be in yer division kickin yer butt.

That would be cheating.
Good stuff, but now with me in the game, you may not win this!
You've got it a little mixed up there jinx.
These are the standings that count
Central Division
1)The Bimbos ............7-4
2)Eagle Green ............5-5
3)Ratts Rogues ..........4-7
4)Toadville Sysadmins .3-8
East Division
1)The Vacancies ..........8-3
2)Buncha Girls ..............7-3
3)Monkey Ballers ............4-7
4)The Austin Capybarys ..3-8
West Division
1)Southside Sycamooes ...8-3
2)The Bullies ..................7-4
3)Goats .........................7-4
4)WE are troop ................2-9
I really thought I was going to lose, given Brady's recent history, but Wes Welker was my secret weapon tonight. I have a win next week...now I just need Jim to beat Griff to claim the division.
My team is sad, neglected and hungry. Poor bastards.
The Playoff Picture
Western Division
sycamore is 9-3
Griff 8-4
Jim 7-5
Troop - will finish 2-12
Central Division
Whip/Ducks 7-5
Blue 6-5-1
Jester 5-7
Toad 3-9
Eastern Division
Elspode 9-3 ( while totally asleep at the wheel, goddammit)
Jinx 7-4
otherguy 5-7
clodfobble 3-9
in the west:
sycamore plays troop next so will finish no worse than 10-4
Griff has to beat me AND sycmore to finish 10-4, but as the second tie breaker is total points, sycamore would win the division. If he DID win out, he'd take the wild card spot, so Griff controls his own destiny. I would need a mathematical miracle that i'm not about to type out.
Central:
blue faces WHIP/ducks this week, so if she wins, and they both win their subsequent games, blue's win pctg would be higher because of the tie. this week is essentially a playoff game for these two teams, as they will both probably roll over their next opponents (jester and UT respectively) jester needs an even bigger miracle than i do, and UT can look forward to a nice low draft pick next year.
In the East, Elspode faces two other absentee owners so will, undoubtedly finish 11-3, meaning jinx has no shot at the division title even though she will also trounce those same two foes as she faces them in turn. her best hope is for griff to lose at least one of his 2 much harder games. again, she has a tie, so her winning pctg would be higher if griff lost a game. otherguy has brett farvrrrrrrah, so he might shock one of those two teams, though.....and, thanks for playing clodfobble...your team has cool names. Both you and the other guy are mathematically eliminated at this point though.
wait, we get draft pix next year? based on this outcome?
no....i was just trying to be nice. you get diddlie.
TO kicks bully a**, details at eleven.
i need 34 points out of Tom Brady.......he averages 33.5 this year.....
its very exciting, flint.
[idle]Syc will now feel the pain of being in the toughest division in fantasy football.[/threat]
it's a playoff game for you this week, g. you must win to get in. otherwise....you stay home like me.
Griff, first I will beat you. Then I will drive out to Pennsyltucky and steal your land. Then your car. Then Pete.
Go Sycamore, kick his caprine ass! :cheerldr:
here's a look at the standings....

Ok, well, you made the playoffs easier than I anticipated, and now, things loook very bright.
sycamore.....how much did griff give you to bench all your good players this week?
Go figure...I decided to keep Grant and put Addai on the bench and they have big game days. Fortunately, the Ravens are having a shitty night and Brees could be back in a slow cycle. We'll see.
I'm a no selling waste of space
How do the playoffs work, Jim? 4 teams or 6?
4. division winners and 1 wild card.
you, elspode, bluec, and griff.
it should be griff @ elspode
and bluecuracao @ sycamore
then winners play for the cellarbowl.
jinx thinks you threw this game so you wouldnt have to face her in the playoffs.
ps. im sending a pm to spode to see if he knows he made it......
How did I win my division when Griff thoroughly whupped my ass...twice? I play Blue, who officially came in 3rd, since she won her division. But Griff plays Ep, who is number one.
you had a better record. and griff, the wildcard team(#4 seed), plays the #1 team; then #2 play
i tied in my other league, but lost due to my division record being lower. even tho i had more total points. it shows me on top of the division, and the team below me made the playoffs. cock.
correction....
you had the same record, the same division record....but you had more points.
Eagle Green!!!
Take Faulk out and put Jacobs in...like ASAP
Well Spode, we gonna put something weird on the line this week? Goat cheese vs?
Eagle Green!!!
Take Faulk out and put Jacobs in...like ASAP
Yeah, I was looking at my lineup the other day, thinking I might want to do that. Things are looking better now. Thanks man!
Actually, Blue and I should put something on the line too...like a case of Yuengling vs. a case of Schlafly.
Yeah, I was looking at my lineup the other day, thinking I might want to do that. Things are looking better now. Thanks man!
You're very welcome. I'm obviously cheering for you(nothing against your opponents)
.... and its not because i've got my money on you either.
I would seriously consider benching the Falcons White for the Eagles Brown this week as things don't look to good for White in this particular match-up even if he plays, he' gonna be extremely limited.
Brown is questionable, but lets not forget, he's a great reciever playing against a very weak defence.... could be a big day.
Sycamore's team is good.
You would want to avoid Goats team in the final as he holds some players who will put in some extra effort next week should he make it to the final....otherwise, you've won it as the Vacancies players will not produce at all next week
So it will be
Eagle Green vs Goats in the Final!!

your bench out scored your starters!

Yeah...I dunno what the fuck happened. Didn't do so hot down the stretch either. Ah well...I enjoyed myself. Go Goats!

sarcastic or clueless? you decide. highlights at eleven

There wasn't really much to work with, that team I ranked 7th at the start of the season, and still came pretty close to winning the division that we shared with the best team of them all
Eagle Green

Excellent picks, I like your team...there are a few teams better.
You obviously know the game though.
I never said I'd win it, It was always going to be
Eagle Green vs GoatsBrokey leg, so much for the longest winning streak in the history of Cellar fantasy football...
Blue Curacao.
I don't know if Donovan will play 100%, but it is a fact that Hasselbeck won't play, so you need to do a switch if you have any hope of winning this.
You are at this time, the underdog
Brokey leg, so much for the longest winning streak in the history of Cellar fantasy football...
i like the sound of that...
think we'll have a full league next season without having to beg people?
i'm rooting for both of you
go youguys!
I'm all aflutter.* The FF site doesn't say that Hasselbeck's not going to play, but a search implies that the secondary Seattle QB will be playing instead. W. T. F.
*pretty fucking annoyed

Lets see Seattle's game against Baltimore this Sunday.
(Seattle winning out or loosing the season would make no difference whatsoever to Seattle's playoff road)
Everyone should rest for the Seahawks, including some of the back-up players, this should be an easy Ravens win....Unless of course the Ravens wanna lose for a better draft pick.
Either way, it should be close.
A Ravens bet looks like free money against the -10.5 spread

Your welcome girl.
Keep in mind, Donovan is playing against the worst defence in the game Saints, so he should have a party.
He may end up being the reason why you win this thing.
Good luck

That's a real shame about T.O. ;)

I'm in big trouble. You already knocked my two most consistant scorers out of the game. I need huge games from Lewis and Brees.
How convenient that McNabb and Brees are playing against each other. We can be twice as excited and/or anxious while watching just one game.

That is cool.
@LJ Pete wants to play next year. I'll hold her to it.
You see?
If you want to compete in the playoffs, you have to have a team to do so.
Lets see what the Cowboys do this Saturday against the Panthers.
Rest or play? Should they play? It would damage the Cowboys chances for the NFC Championship.
That's a real shame about T.O. ;)

I can't believe you're negative about your chances.
I told you when this thing started.
I told you that you were gonna win.
Now look at Jacobs!
I'm not really, I just didn't want to jinx myself. :lol:
Well at least the Browns are getting pantsed by Cincy. If I can't win at least the Brownies can lose.
Congratulations, bluecuracao!
1st cellar league fantasy football champion!
nice job...you really turned it on down the stretch.
Superbowls never live up to the hype...
Congrats!
Woo hoo! Thanks, you guys.
I still don't understand as much as I'd like to about the game and the whole process, but I know whole lot more now than I did at the beginning. If we do it again next year, I won't have to rely on auto draft to pick my team. :rolleyes:
I feel truly honored to have won the first Cellar Fantasy Football championship! My father is very proud (and even more surprised).

He should be proud. His daughter clearly had the best team.
Call it fate.
Of course we'll do it next year, and I'm sure you'll be worthy of defending your title.
Congrats Blue! ;)
Now that post was a long time in the waiting.
As luck would have it, my internet access fizzled out about the same time as my win. Otherwise, I would've been celebrating here all week. :)
how about THIS year?
Guess I'm behind the 8-ball on this one. :3eye: That's what happens to a "forum lurker."
I'm sure you'll have it again next year. If so, I'm game if you have the room for a Madman!
Hi WHIP, what's the line for the playoffs? I am betting on the Patriots.
If we do it again next year, I won't have to rely on auto draft to pick my team. :rolleyes:
If it aint broke.....

The Staff
When is the draft?
I'll join if I'm sure I can make it on the day of the draft.
it's an automated draft, whip. you just set up your preferred order of players, and what position to draft in what round, and it takes the highest ranked by you.
Aug 17th is draft day.
OK I'm in
there are 12 teams total, and 5 have been taken.
If it gets down to the wire and you need someone to fill out the league, I'll do it again. But I'm not going to work any harder at it this time than I did last time. :)
I'm in, thanks for the heads up.
Good lord. Labrat, ratter, and even labratter were all already taken usernames. WTF.
Moar!
whip?
freshnesscockring?
anyone?
we're a teaching league.....
and...
we need 5 more teams
I can make the draft date, so I'm in!
it's automated. set your order up prior to the draft.
first, rank your players by position
then, set what position to draft in each round.
then hope you get your guys
I've already set it up.
I will get my guys.
Its inevitable.
Too many of you would have to know too much about this year to take them away from me.
Unless, of course, any of your players happen to have wacky names. Then you might be screwed. ;)
does that mean you're in?
If you need me. How many slots do you have left to fill?
Alright, I'm in.
Can't none of y'all beat the names I've got picked. :P
I was talking about helping the cellarites make their determinations for the fantasy league - there isn't any money involved in that, is there?
Ok:
A lot of people would tell you that Running backs are the #1 focus...I disagree.
If you remember this league and how points were scored, you'd know that QB's and the defence are as important.
When considering a QB, one must not only see their ability, but also the tools they have to work with.
You also have to keep in mind what kind of back up QB the team has.
Most teams with a good young secondary QB will let their older QB start the year till week 5-6 and let the younger guy take over.
In this case you should own both QB's of a good offensive team.
Some teams have 2 key running backs...owning one of them as a 1-2 RB in your fantasy team is a bad idea.
Wide-recievers won't win you this competition, so under no circumstances should you choose 2 in the first four rounds, that would condemn your chances here.
If this was a live draft, it would be better... This Tight End situation is tricky as there are only a hand-full of players who will score you serious points, if you can't get them, you should push the TE option down a few notches.
The defence is key, but their rankings are the most warped i've ever seen.
They seem to base it on the running back the team holds.
I mean the Vikings defence sucks, so why are they ranked #1?
The theory that Adrian peterson will run the ball through-out the year ticking the clock allowing the defence to rest, thuis having less points scored against.
The Chargers defence is of greater value... yes Tomlinson fills that theory, but the units in the defence are also key as San Diego can stop the pass where the Vikings are incapable.
When picking a defence, one must also consider the schedule of the team involved. A team's schedule is primarily against the teams in their division.
Kickers. this position should be pushed to the second last slot, or third last at best.

If you have your goal set on someone thats listed low, you can lower that stat a few notches.
Young talent is key .... look at the NFL draft results over the past 2-3 years to see who's up and coming, also consider who the exalted one is.
Players..... grrr, I really don't want to get into this because I'll be giving away the guys i'm after, and I would end up not picking them up... there may be no money involved, but I am competitive, and I would want to win this thing.
My guys are so far down that the only way I won't get them is if I start mentioning names here.
Lets do it this way ...if you wanna know about a hand-full of guys, ask me, and i'll give you my opinion of them and their position in the pre-draft rankings.
What does this entail? I've never done fantasy football, and know nothing about the current state of the NFL.
I'm willing to join in if it doesn't require constant monitoring after the initial bit. Is it free?
I could compete with Clodfobble for the players with funny names.
It's free, and can be really-really-really hands off, a small initial bit of interest and then nothing more for the rest of the season, or adjusting your team every week like some of these schmoes. :)
Click the link jim gave a couple pages back... you will need to register for a username at nfl.com (this is the one moderate-pain-in-the-ass part.) Once you have a username, just type in your team name, and you can be done if you want. Or you can click the link to rank the players you want for the draft, with a handy little drag-and-drop list interface. If you don't touch it, you get the website's default ranking of who they think is the best. That's it. The draft happens, you get who you get, then it posts everyone's scores and rankings to the website each week. Trade players, or ignore it, it doesn't matter.
It's nice if you put the occasional effort towards smack-talking in this thread during the season, though. :)
You don't even have to adjust your initial draft picks if you don't want to. The system will set up a decent team based on their rankings.
you should, IMO, pay attention enough to check for players with bye weeks and to sub out injured players. ...but...whatevvverrrrr..
Well, alright then. I'm in.
Watch out. I won my firm's March madness pool the first time I played, and knew even less about basketball than I do about the NFL. Never underestimate dumb luck.
One spot left.
one left! cmon.
You should recruit Tink.
How 'bout it Tink? All the wives are in this year.
If Tink doesn't go, I'll take her place.
First come first served. Nobody will resent you jumping in.
I'm pretty sure zippy got the last spot.
Well if some body had TOLD me we were doing this again I would have Signed up earlier !!!
WE are TROOP is BACK !!!!!!
We WILL Crush yew Puney Civilians !!!
TROOP !!
TROOP !!!
TROOP !!!!!
I'm pretty sure zippy got the last spot.
Apparently I missed the boat here by a hair.
you should, IMO, pay attention enough to check for players with bye weeks and to sub out injured players. ...but...whatevvverrrrr..
OK, so I'm looking at my team, and I see that I've got a few injured players. My starting WR will miss at least the first game, and my reserve WR will be out for a month or so. Can I sub in a player from a different position? Like can I sub in a TE for a WR?
Also, is there an easy way to know if a player will be missing a game on a bye week without following stuff closely? Like can you click on their name or something?
You can't sub across positions but you can use the drop/add feature to pick up free agents and ditch injured guys.
(go to the bottom of your lineup setting page and click add/drop)
The bye weeks are listed on your lineup page as well.
Well, I tried it out.
And it's really funny, because I traded my injured WR (is that a wide receiver?) for another WR from the same team, figuring that if one dude is sitting on the bench, the other guy will definitely end up out on the field racking up the points or whatever. But then while the trade was being held until the next morning for processing, the new guy I picked got injured, and the coach is now talking about playing the original guy I had. Bizarre huh?
But now I don't have him any more, and I'm back where I started.
That's what you get for messing with it. I bet neither of those injured people had good names, either.
Hey Zip, don't give up this year, you fucking turd. :)
I uploaded the new Sycamores helmet tonight. It rocks...not as much as me, but pretty fucking close.
Right now I am in second place, way ahead of everyone but W.HI.P, thanks to the delightfully-named Plaxico Burress.
I just thought people might like to know that.
If Plaxico is true to form he'll start resting up for the playoffs in another week or two.
Clod, you'll never win the name game, because I have Ocho Cinco.
Only because you got him first in the draft!!
Hey Zip, don't give up this year, you fucking turd. :)

put a copy in here...i cant feckin see that little icon....
I already deleted the original...you'll just have to squint.
I'm such a newbie. I decided I didn't like my team name, and I had a better one. But it looks like I can't change it now.
yeah, you can change it up until the draft day. then yer stuck wiff it, glattmen
I'm gonna miss the first Sunday of football. :mad2:
Go Goats!
Those Goats sure are going...
HEY, did you know there's a chat in FF?
I'll give you all the benefit of the doubt, and assume you did not...
Those Goats sure are going...
Unless Adrian Peterson goes nuts tonight, which has been known to happen.
HEY, did you know there's a chat in FF?
I'll give you all the benefit of the doubt, and assume you did not...
oh, check it out....right below the scoreboard hoohaa. thats cool.
that kid from atlanta looked pretty good...RYAN?
that kid from atlanta looked pretty good...RYAN?
Micheal Turner's been good for the Chargers these past couple years.
Playing behind Ladanian won't get you in the spotlight much.
No matter how good he is though, running behind this mediocre Falcons line will limit him against greater defence's than the lions.
So yeah, great running back+bad OL=Mediocre year.
i was talking about the qb.....isnt his name ryan?
And I squeak by with a win...thank you Selvin Young and Greg Williams!!!
I just slipped by as well. Adriam Peterson almost got there.:thepain: I think I had a couple weeks last year like UT's, second most points in the league and no joy.
Clod, you'll never win the name game, because I have Ocho Cinco.
He's no good to Clod anyway...
Ocho Cinco
As of Monday, Sept. 8, 2008, Chad Ocho Cinco will go back to being Chad Johnson in the player pool pending official NFL approval. Please keep that in mind when you are looking for him.
Motherfuck...Jay Cutler has a career day, and I had him as a backup. :mad2:
Same with Rivers. I figure he'd get skewered without Tomlinson. Goats have to blame their coach this week.
I will be trading TE Shockey for a WR. If you need a #1 TE who will certainly do better than he did this week, please look over your WRs and find me somebody who can put up 10 points a week. You may have to give up your #2 WR for such a fine TE, but you know it will be worthwhile.
Man, I limped to a win this week. Totally forgot to check my lineup before the games started today. Come Tuesday, I will be prepared to rock and roll.
Who knew goats were smelly?
Man, I limped to a win this week.
Hey, a win is a win.
Westbook's injury really cost me. He got me 21 points the first week, 27 points last week, and 1 point this week before he left the game with an injury. Hope he gets better.
This is kinda fun: if the Jets shut down SD's passing game, and SD doesn't wind up kicking 3 FGs, I probably win. Otherwise W.HI.P wins. Chances are good he gets the 18 points he needs, out of a WR, TE, and K, all San Diego players. But it'll be close.
did I mention that I suck? I benched the Eagles D this week, and they scored 31 freakin points. cost me the game. cock!
lol - you deserved that one.

Its a done deal UT, the only Chargers option I don't own is Chambers.
I can't believe you're starting out 0-3...Like WTF?
I had you pegged as the favorite from the division.. Peterson and Turner are of the absolute elite.
You would have won if you had started Ronnie Brown(4 TD's!).
I'll trade you for Adrian and Chad... make me an offer for who you want from my team. We both own one too many superstar RB's.
did I mention that I suck? I benched the Eagles D this week, and they scored 31 freakin points. cost me the game. cock!
We're all well aware that you suck LJ.
Be advised, no team will be able to run against this Eagles D.
Bench them if they're up against a passing team though.
Yeah MIA just rode the guy to crush NE, 38-13. And he goes and puts up 41 fantasy points. You just never know. PLUS I had the NE defense, so they got a big fat 0. The sensible thing to do was probably to play both.
I have to think Chad will come around, I have too many average WRs right now, it's my weak point.
We're all well aware that you suck LJ.
.
yeah.....you still betting against the cowboys?
LJ, the last time I bet against the Cowboys, I won:
[SIZE="3"][COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]Philadelphia Eagles @ Dallas Cowboys(-7.5)[/COLOR][/SIZE]
I'm not the kind of guy who lays money down on his favorite team for cheering purposes.
These teams are more closely matched than most people think.
The Eagles are in form at this time.
The Cowboys are the bookies money maker this year.
A lot of people are gonna lose a lot of money on Dallas this year.
Monday night game?
[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Green"]Bet on the Philadelphia Eagles[/COLOR][/SIZE]
These past 2 weeks have been amazing.
I was so pissed off last week cause I bet half the amount of money than I normally bet and won, so this week I bet more than double my usual and it looks like its gonna be an even better week than last week, so it more than evens out......Goooo Chargers!
btw...have you noticed the records of all the teams involved in this heavy weight division?
3-0
3-0
2-1
2-1
in this thread, I am 0-3. peyton has been abysmal, i have no good wide outs, and my running attack is average at best. i still enjoy it though.
Okay. I don't understand how I can have one score after all my games end, and then a totally different score the next day. WTF, FF! How did I lose seven points?

You lost 8 points on the Packers defence.
Be advised that some stats on defence are not updated live.
They're added on after tha game is over....this might take time

Westbook's injury really cost me. He got me 21 points the first week, 27 points last week, and 1 point this week before he left the game with an injury. Hope he gets better.
He's fine, He'll play in Chicago, although his fantasy points should be limited as he faces the best D in the game.
It looks like you need a Running back.
I'd take Donovan Mcnabb and Larry Fitzgerald from you for Campell and your pick one of my RB's.
Send me a trade offer.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm very pleased with both my guys.
Ratter! Fix your damn team up... you've got men down/on bye...
Gah!!
Will check it out on lunchbreak. Merci.
Every things Fine Rat , Just leave things the way they are ;)
I'm actually starting to care about this thing. I find myself checking all week to see if my injured stars are healthy yet or if I have to activate my reserve players. Next thing you know, I might be watching a game. :eek:
OK, so I checked out the FF page. Yikes. I have some homework to do this weekend. BTW, I have an image for my helmet. Is it too late to make one? I can have it here Monday.

cloddfobble, you need to do stuff too.
tavaris jackson got benched. go sign
huard
also, burress is suspended this week.....
bryant looks good

For future reference.... just fyi.... most of the games are played on Sunday.
I hate this week.
I'm on this train. stupid stupid
For future reference.... just fyi.... most of the games are played on Sunday.
C'mon, c'mon, I'm not
that stupid. :p Just busy. I printed off the rules, glossery, and FAQ's to read over the weekend. I asked Red to help me, but because I didn't have my current lineup, he said it would be pointless. So I didn't have a chance to get it fixed.
My daughter had colored a picture of football players the other weekend when we were watching some game, and I just thought it would be cool to scan in and make my helmet pic. Friday the pic was at home, and the scanner is at work, so the first time I'd be able to get it in electronic form would be today. --Which is moot, because I forgot to bring it in anyway.
yeah. but.....you left LT out for no apparent reason. he scored 20+ points...
not that you would have beat zippy, but at least fill up your line up for cock's sake
i'm on track for an 0-12 finish
not if you play me at all this year.
OK, OK. My team has players that are supposed to be healthy, and actually playing this week. Watch out hippies, prepare thyselves for a Ratpack smackdown. Mwa ha ha ha ha !!!!
I thought I was being all slick at 12:30 today, noticing that my QB was ill and replacing him at the last minute. But now I see my replacement was benched. :sniff:
And I see that Griff has a bunch of games yet to be played tonight...hooo boy, I'm in trouble.
Don't forget though, goats are sucky.
Eh, eagles were sucky today too!
Barring an explosion from Hines Ward tonight, I might actually win this week.
I plan to remain undefeated this week, despite Rat's much improved team.
isn't it cute when women trash talk....they're so polite about it.
Overall, the trash talk has been far too polite. What the hell is wrong with you people.
Hell, I've been planning to remain undefeated this whole time!!
i'm on track for an 0-12 finish
not anymore you're not. see you in the playoffs
edit:
holy hell.. i just looked at your team...
wall to wall talent...you should be 4-0 wtf?
Everybody underperforms on target, is what. Plus I had the worst QB pick in Bulger, I had Shockey who did nothing and then got injured...
Barring an explosion from Hines Ward tonight, I might actually win this week.
Ponies have a
whole two point lead. We're gonna shut out the Southies. so there
glatt has McNabb in the fantasy league - he'll win... McNabb with 297 passing yards and 3 passing TDs at the half... great quarterback, or the greatest quarterback?
I see what you did there UT. Convince the newbie he's got great talent on his team so you can cream him in week five. Pretty sneaky.
McNabb's performance seems to be tied to the share price of Wachovia.
Motherfuck! Hines Ward comes back with a solid performance. Now I just need Ryan Longwell to kick 3 extra points or one field goal tonight and I'll gladly give your ass back to you, Pete. ;)
I'd just like to point out that my record is 3-1, which puts me tied for third place across the whole league. Strategize and maneuver all you want, when it comes down to it, it's all just throwing darts.
it's more than that. I appreciate your postion, but I made several moves and my team has improved drastically. There is an element of randomocity that makes it somewhat cromulent. I mean....who expected Huard to get negative points this week?
Overall, the trash talk has been far too polite. What the hell is wrong with you people.
In your face! We both suck.
I didn't realize that RBs and WRs don't get credit for return tds. Anybody want a slightly used Reggie Bush or Santonio Holmes? Well maybe I'll keep Holmes.
OK Syc. I'm calling you for piling on, unsportsmanlike conduct, hurting the feelings of the poor little cute ponies, and utter Belichickosity. Hell, you only needed 3 points. Geez.
Did anyone notice that the Ponies consistently have among the most points in the league every week but they still have a losing record. Not that I'm getting whiney or anything.

In fairness, LJ told me to trade someone at some point and I did, so that probably helped.
I've always known football is a rough sport, and players get injured, but after doing this fantasy football this fall, there is absolutely no way my son will be allowed to play football.
Brian Westbrook sprained his ankle a couple weeks ago, and then last week broke two ribs. So I got on the internet to read about the treatment for broken ribs. Everything I saw said that if you don't do anything even remotely vigorous, the ribs will heal in a couple months. But if you stay active, they will never heal. Also, you're in constant excruciating pain until they do heal. It hurts to breathe. Then I read the little blurb about Westbrook the other day, and he's saying his broken ribs are "sore", and that he can't sleep, but that he hopes to play this weekend. Maybe wear a flak jacket and play anyway. Some web sites report that if you are active with broken ribs, you can puncture internal organs. But the Eagles were actually talking like he might play the game this weekend. I benched him. So today they announced he won't play, and next week is a bye, so there is still speculation that he will play the next game after that. Frankly, that's insane. I know the money is good, but wtf? You only get one body. The bones won't heal in two weeks.
oh good.. I have Correll Buckhalter
Yeah, you know, I'm a kind of ruthless coach. Part of me feels bad for the guy, and the other part is all "rub some dirt on it, Nancy. Get your ass on the feild."
I have a hard time feeling sorry for a millionaire because he was injured doing his job. I know it's cold of me.....but yeah....rub some dirt in it is right.
I'm thinking I'm going to start Ferrote vs the Lions instead of Peyton Manning vs the Ravens.....
it looks like a bad play on paper, but i get the feeling that peyton will struggle.
I'm wondering about McNabb. I benched him because he's sucked lately. Also, Westbrook is out, and that hurts him too. But he just held a meeting with the team to kick some energy into everyone and turn things around. The pep talks always work in the movies. Do they work in real life?
mcnadds or aaron rodgers.....hmmm.....
it's a toss up. the seahawks gave up 44 points last week against the giants...I think i'd prolly start rodgers the lodger too.
Excuse me, but Donovan has not altered his play at all since the start of the season..
That little diagram shows nothing but numbers.
The reality of the way he's preformed is based upon the defence's he's faced.
He started the season by Kicking the non-existant defence of the Rams.
He then beat up on the mediocre Dallas defence.
Since then he has faced 3 of the 7 best defence's in the NFL:
#1=Chicago
#4=Redskins
#7=Steelers
He now plays the 49ers who's pass defence has been under par for several years.
If you're contemplating starting Rodgers over Mcnabb in a week like this? you might as well drop the man.
Yes Westbrook is his best option but HELLO!!!!, the Packers are missing half their team...I don't care how bad the Seahawks are.
Your decision is a no-brainer
Hey, Thanks W.HI.P.
I actually don't know the first thing about football. The numbers and the little news blurbs they supply on each player are all I have to go on. I know it's important to consider the team each player is facing, but since I don't know anything about those teams, I just ignore that part of the equation.
But I'll take your advice because I was torn anyway, and I know that you know a hell of a lot more than I do.
Thanks again.
some key injuries:
Carson Palmer is out, so the bengals wide recievers may suffer.
Hassleback is out for the seahawks, same result.
westbrook, as discussed,
rodgers is knicked up too, glatt, so yeah...start donovan
winslow (te browns) is sick, and hospitalized
more hereI'm thinking I'm going to start Ferrote vs the Lions instead of Peyton Manning vs the Ravens.....
it looks like a bad play on paper, but i get the feeling that peyton will struggle.
oh...this was a baaaad move, jimbo, manning is
killing them. 24 points at half time. Frerote has 4. thats gonna hurt my coach rating.
I dunno why I bother to look while my team is playing. Right after I log in, my team starts to suck. sigh.
I need Amani Toomer to do better than John Carney tomorrow night for the Giants so that I can take sole possession of first place in my division.
I've been trying to drop one of my players, but he won't go away! Now I have a message coming up that says I have 15 players when only 14 are allowed. Anyone know what's going on??
There's a list somewhere of specific players that can't be dropped. You are probably trying to drop someone you are not allowed to drop.
I don't understand why that rule exits, but then there's a lot about football I don't know.
Maybe you can trade him away?
What a weird rule! Oh well, I ended up dropping someone else.
You hear that collective silence across the nation? Those are Cowboys fans wondering what the fuck just happened.
The Dirty Hippies will be going 7-0 this week even without Romo...
But your husband's beloved team isn't doing shit without him. ;)
I have to wonder why you take so much enjoyment from that Syc....
Just try to beat WHIP would ya, I'd like to be 2 games up in my division.
Because the Rams have sucked for the last 3 years and the Cowboys were supposed to be the team to beat this year. I have to give him shit wherever I can. ;)
I'm trying to...Cutler and Moss have to play against each other tonight.
You should be able to get 24 pts out of those 2 eh? I'm rooting for ya...
Just try to beat WHIP would ya, I'd like to be 2 games up in my division.
It'll be close.
He'll need 25 points from Cutler and Moss.
Its not impossible.
Its not a sure bet under these circumstances either.... We'll see.
O hai WHIP :blush:... uh, good luck...
:D
undertoad's sysadmins are trailing bluecuracao's Eagle Green by 3. Both have just their defenses to play. Tony's (Patriots) tomorrow vs Denver... Blue's (Bucaneers) vs Seattle. I need to root against blue because she is in my division...but if i was bettting money.....
in other news:
I'm ahead for the moment by 5, but glatt will be caving my head in, as he has 2 WRs and an RB yet to play.
And pete looks like a lock over the winless ratpack, clodfobble will beat griff's goats barring a miracle, and the same goes for the hippies over troop.... jinx going 7-0.
back to you, boomer.
O hai WHIP :blush:... uh, good luck...
:D
Hey.. :thankyou:
As far as UT's match-up with Blue's EagleGreen's, its already over, I mean 3 points alongside a superior defence with a weak opponent.
She's won!

I think you spoke too soon.
Not all the stats are out yet.
Mostly negative defencive stats are calculated after 24 hours.
So Clodfobble lays down 105 points... while sitting 3 players. I guess I should have packaged Bush and OT...

i'm her biggest fan! not just cuz i'm the biggest, either.
at this point, i'm not sure if i should try anymore. i mean, who wants to ruin a perfect record?:banghead: :violin:
i wouldn't want you to this week at least.....maybe next week
Nice, Jinx.
Thanks, I'm pretty pleased... doing much better this year.
good matchups this week!
the griff household faces off, the website predicts pete to win by 1. 101 to 102.
clodfobble is actually favored by 9 against a knicked up dirty hippy team. clodfobble is the second highest rated coach, and jinx is 3rd, btw.
Undertoad needs to put a kicker in against zippy (packers have a bye) and then that game will look a lot closer ( currently predicted 93-112 Troop.)
my misfits will keep it close, im sure...even though i face a winless labrat with a projected 17 point edge
glatt and whip face off ....whip is favored by 2, but the glattmen are pretty resilient and, in my opinion underestimated by the gurus this week.
sycamore looks like he is in trouble aginst blue. wtf is a flex player? you need to sign a WR syc. chop chop.
the coach ratings:
1. pete
2. clobble
3. jinx
4. WH.IP
5. jim
6. zippyt
7. glatt
8. griff
9. Undertony
10. bluecuracao
11. sycamore
12. labrat
Pete is going down! So to speak.
i lost to the ratpack. i had signed avery last week to fill a spot at WR. then the other night, i second guessed that move and dropped him in favor of Josh Morgan...because the rams played NE, and the niners play the seahawks. seemed like a good move. So, fucking labrat signs Avery, and starts him. Naturally, he scores 22 points, and Morgan scores ZERO. I think he may have left the game with an abraded labia.
anyway....good game labber, you were totally due.
We watched some of that game while treadmilling today glatt.... holy injuries batman, but yeah westbrook was looking good.
I can't believe how close/low scoring my game is against Clod. I absolutely should not win, but I hope I do anyway....
gah, Pburg self-destructs
My subs have nearly beaten my regular team, 44-41. My regular team needs to be taken out and shot.
Apparently Santonio Holmes is a big er... Phillies fan.
Looks like I squeaked past Blue, minus any adjustments made between now and tomorrow.
Does that mean I won? Wow. I think real football teams should do their draft the way I do mine.
[COLOR="White"]Oh, and have LJ give them trade advice every so often.[/COLOR]
It really was nice having Westbrook back. This was the first time since week 2 that my team earned over 100 points. I had a couple weeks there that were half that. And the guys beat WHIP!

:bitching:
113-107 ...the two top scores against each other.
Congrats.
........at least Dirtyhippies lost
........at least Dirtyhippies lost
Yeah, but so did you, so it doesn't really help you at all, still 2 games back... and I got everybody but Romo back this week so watch out Eagles Green.
:D
I've been trying to drop one of my players, but he won't go away! Now I have a message coming up that says I have 15 players when only 14 are allowed. Anyone know what's going on??
There's a list somewhere of specific players that can't be dropped. You are probably trying to drop someone you are not allowed to drop.
I don't understand why that rule exits, but then there's a lot about football I don't know.
Maybe you can trade him away?
What a weird rule! Oh well, I ended up dropping someone else.
here is the list
and the rules:
[SIZE=+1][SIZE=2]Undroppable Players
To maintain the integrity of your league, you will be prevented from dropping certain star NFL players throughout the season. NFL.com, as commissioner of all NFL.com Fantasy 2008 leagues, will decide - in its sole discretion - which NFL players are undroppable. If there are players we've deemed undroppable on your roster, they will not be displayed on the Add/Drop page for your team. You may appeal to NFL.com for permission to drop an undroppable player; however, NFL.com will make the final decision on all undroppable player requests. Appeals can be sent via the Help Center page and should include the names of the players you want to add and drop. [/SIZE][/SIZE]
jinx has 5 guys on that undroppable list...i have 2. how about you?
"To maintain the integrity of the league"... Is that like, you and your friend both join the same league, and then he drops all his good players just so you can pick them up and have a ridiculously stellar team?
that's what I got out of it Clod.
WTF. I was busily working on fixing up my teams when a fwe players locked because their games started. I got stuck with 2 active TE's and have an illegal team. I thought we had till 5 min before kickoff before they locked?? My clock says 12:18. The games weren't supposed to start till 1:00.
Enjoy your freebie, Goats.
Guess I'll go back to raking leaves.
:mecry:Another injured QB...
You're crying for me, right jinx? Awwww. ;)

First, change your clocks. Second, sorry Lab.:(
:mecry:Another injured QB...
I haz a spare Farvererere if you haz a good trade.
I don't have anyone good at all, unless you lister to the friggin gurus... assholes. They loved my shit team this week.
My clocks were right, it was my head that was fooked.
there is a Thursday night game on tonight.....Broncos v Browns. make sure you don't forget to adjust your lineups accordingly.
the game can be seen online at NFL dot Com or the nfl network.
fuh huck. 36 points from one guy? that's hardly an example of good sportsmanship, sycamore. I hope you're happy.
"This is what you get when you mess with us..."
That guy is my QB in my league at work. Woo hoo!
dirty hippies, now only 1 game seperates us.
its early to say, but it seems like you've lost, and i can't lose as it stands.
dirty hippies... its early to say, but it seems like you've lost
Hey man, don't jinx me. I'm trying to win over here, and she's ahead by 10.
Hey man, don't jinx me. I'm trying to win over here, and she's ahead by 10.
its already over.
hippies go 100 with the eagles defence.
you're at 78 with westbrook 20, fitzgerald 12, carney 7 = 117.
at worst a win here, you can't lose.
Your shit-talking would carry so much more weight, WHIP, if you ever owned up to
being wrong.
And you're still losing to a girl.
You're all on notice, after tonight I will have the highest score on the week. The season begins now. Or something.
LJ, I knew you'd regret picking up Shockey. That dickwad is useless. I had him most of last year when he did nothing. The brain-dead "guru" loves him for some reason.
the fucking guru gets us every week. i think whip is a guru.
actually, i just need to fill in Witten's bye week.....he's going to be walking the plank on Wednesday morning.

i told you you'd be good.
turner and lt are big mofo's at the rb position.
shockey is a leader and has some of the best hands in the league.
his agressive mentality has caused him injuries.
he's played through them during his career making him almost crippled.
you need some d ut if you're gonna catch up to the suprising dirty hippies and myself
you need some d ut if you're gonna catch up to the suprising dirty hippies and myself and Sycamore and glatt
Fixed that for you.
Dirty Hippies came back strong and it turned into the best game of the week, which I won 117-110.
Hippies live and die with Romo, and just like the Cowboys, she has shitty backup QBs. :D
It's like last year, I probably can't catch up even if I run the table, but I've moved to #7 in the power rankings which is kinda cool.
actually, she has Orton as a back up, who would normally be fine, but he hurt his sissy little ankle last week, and rex got the start this week.
Dirty Hippies came back strong and it turned into the best game of the week, which I won 117-110.
.
you played teh Rainbow Ponies (pete) this week, and won 119-110
WTF with my attention span?
The season begins now. Or something.
Couldn't you have waited one more week to stop sucking? Let the whining continue. Actually I'm in pretty good shape in my division. I have a losing record and I'm still only one game out of first. Maybe life IS fair after all.

Dude I kicked your ass off when we played,
132-71. Fear me in week 13. That's right, I said fear me.
there's another Thursday game this week....get your acts together, people.
I want it noted that I am projected to score 133 points this week. anyone want to take 'the over' in a side bet?
yar.....just a little FYI here....
Clobble scored 42 points with one guy (Cassell) this week. And he's a back up. Good move signing him,btw.
in week 8, the sysadmins scored 46 total points
in week 5 clodfobble scored 29 altogether, and
in week 4, labrat totalled 28 points
and matt cassell is not a weird name. at all.
I set up my draft based on weird names. I can't help it if some of you fuckers took them first.
doesn't look good for you this week whip.......in fact....is that the fat lady warming up i hear?
Nice Smack!
Syc is so lucky the league tried to screw PBurg this week. He will still go down.
Me too.
I hate Jim for winning. I'm only letting him live because Whip lost too.
Doesn't look good for me ending in the top half of the power rankings, which became my goal at some point
I think WHIP let me win, for the 2nd year in a row.
I think WHIP let me win, for the 2nd year in a row.
honestly, if there was one person that i'd be happy to lose to, its you.
if i had won, you would be finished for this season.
i've got my main opponent coming up next week, so thats what i'm interested in.
did i let you win this year? ...not exactly, but i didn't do some moves that i coulda to up my points.
i am cheering for you though.
now....our whole division is up in the air. after this week, we'll all be 4-7 except zippy who'll be 5-6.
even if she had lost, she would only be 2 games out, and plays the equally inconsistent bullies next week. if zippy loses, there will be 3 5-7 teams and one 4-6. that team will probably be donebut not mathematically. i'd like to stay alive as long as possible.....so i'm interested in it.
Woo, a one-point win for 3 Ws in a row.
I barely squeaked past zippyt. I had a big lead over him going into last night's game, (63 to 38) but I was done. I had no-one playing last night. His sole Monday night player had his second best game of the season and brought the score up to 63 - 60. I almost wish he had won, because that would have been beautiful.
(It's also beautiful that I'm in a 3 way tie for 1st place.)
Well, I guess I don't have to check now. Congrats Toad. I'm afraid to see who I'm up against this week.
I just second guessed myself about starting manning instead of garcia.....but it was too late to change them......
good luck, blue. hopefully, I'll kick your ass into next week.
Nice game T.O. too bad you're never getting off the Goat bench again.
It's a very good week for the Hippies (yay!) who appear to be clinching their division win.
:devil:
Matt Cassel, 39 points in one game? wtf? How am I supposed to compete with that? Way to go, Clod.
boy, glatt...aren't you glad you benched Donovan before Andy did?
Yes! But it probably won't be enough.
Nice game T.O. too bad you're never getting off the Goat bench again.
I a big liar. C'mon they're playing Seattle.
[COLOR="White"]Anybody tell whip that animated avatar sucks ass?[/COLOR]
Really, you should start him every week, automatically. With Roy Williams on the team, Witten, Crayton, Barber.....it's just too much for teams to double him all game long.
oops. Guess I shouldn't have benched them.
no....you totally should have.....everyone thought the Cardinals would run it up on the iggles. but, damn....85 points from the benched eagles.....
the funny thing is, you'll probably still win.
I actually had a fleeting thought as I benched them that McNabb's getting benched the week before would be the kick in the pants he needed to shape up. But I played it safe and benched them both anyway.
Apparently, players with funny names like "Plaxico" can end up shooting themselves in the foot with their off the field antics.
I think it was his thigh.....and it was an unregistered hand gun, which is illegal to carry outside of your house or business. He may be in some ca ca.
There are so many poster children for not fucking up in the NFL...you'd think people would learn.
Shit, UT kicked my ass..... I shoulda feared him....
Not to worry, I forgot about the Thursday night game. Now I'll be playing my #2 quarterback in the biggest game of the year.
Biggest game of the year?
For teh Goats. They need to put space between them and whip.

[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=+1][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1][SIZE=2]The division leader with the best record going into the playoffs will be the #1 seed, and the #1 seed will play the wildcard (seed #4) in the first playoff match in NFL Week 15.

here's the deal:
jinx is in representing the central division
sycamore is in. if he beats glatt, glatt is still in if clodfobble loses, and out if she wins. (she'd be in)
if syc loses to glatt, the one with the most YTD points would win the division, and the other would take the wild card. clodfobble would be out.
the winner of the tie between zippy and blue are in as division winner.
zippy plays the bullies, blue plays the capybaras.
if they both lose or both win, zippy will win because he has the better division record (4-1 v 3-2) if one wins, and the other loses, the winnar is in.
For teh Goats. They need to put space between them and whip.
you're already fooked, sir. hang up your cleats.
We have gay pride.
misquoted intentionally for humor.
Don't hate meh because aaam beautiful.
zippy plays the bullies, blue plays the capybaras.
correction: blue plays pete. clobble plays labrat.
And if I win, I'm in the playoffs?
Part of me wants to see you in the playoffs, but the other part of me wants at least *one* more freaking win.
As of right now, my reserves have scored twice as much as my active players...
This year has been tough. Rookie mistakes have killed me.
And if I win, I'm in the playoffs?
Only if glatt loses, which isn't happening.
edit: Oh I didn't see how many players syc still has left - I take back the "isn't happening" part.
I can't believe my reserve players scored 2 more points than my active ones. Cripes. I *could* say I did that as a joke, to make sure she won...
Congrats Clod :D
Good luck the rest of the way Hippies.
Hey thanks griff.
And nice goat...
any tattoo parlors up in them thar hills?
the playoffs will be as follows:
jinx vs zippy
sycamore vs clodfobble
good run glatt, griff, labrat, undertoad, pete, whip, and blue.
it was even better this year than last.
should we all wager on the winners this week?
whip, you wanna set the spreads?
Damn, that was close. I missed playoffs by one point. Good job, Sycamore.
I don't know what I missed, but the
playoff schedule has glatt playing sycamore.

NFL Week
Week 15: #1 vs. #4; #2 vs. #3
Week 16: Winner #1-#4 vs. ; Winner #2-#3
Week 16 Results :
Winner: Champion
Loser: Runner Up #2 vs. #3
It was a Monday Night Miracle...Deangelo Williams had a monster game, and I beat Glatt by one point. Total luck...don't know if I'll be so lucky next week. But I did win my second divisional championship in a row...whoohoo!
you'll need another to keep that 12 point lead against glatt and B Westbrook tonight.
Jinx will need a triple miracle to get 41 points out of the Eagles Defense......
Looks like it will probably be glatt vs. Pete in the Super Bowl. I'd have like to see jinx get in, but it's pretty cool that 2 rookies made it.
It's all going to come down to Westbrook tonight. He's been very inconsistent this season. If he has a typical lame game, then Syc will win. If he continues his more recent (2 game) trend, I'm going to win. His knee is still injured, and there is no way his broken rib has healed yet, but I think he can do it. I need him to get 13 points tonight. I predict 28 points from him.
Sorry, glatt...Westbrook only gave you 6 points.
Me and Pete...next week...IN A STEEL CAGE!!!
Let's make a friendly wager, shall we?
Congrats Pete and Sycamore - good luck in the Superbowl.
Hey Jinx. You really put up a good fight. Before the late game Sunday you had three players left and needed more than 20 points each. Everyone but Barber pulled that off.
OK Syc - How about a music wager? I win, you send me a CD from your CD collection. You win, I'll send you one of mine.
Bring on the steel cage, Ponies are out for revenge.
Wow, only 6 points. Oh, well. Good job, syc.
Congratulations to South Side and to the Ponies. Have fun storming the castle.
Everyone but Barber pulled that off.
I had argued that Barber was a better start, because of the comments Jerry Jones made about being surprised that he didn't play last week. jinx still wanted to put T. Choice in in his spot, but the moment passed, and she forgot to go in and make the change.
Hi, my name is jim, and I'm a fantasy football mush.
remember there are games thursday and saturday night this week.
http://www.nfl.com/schedules?seasonType=REG#Week16rainbow's team is certainly a suprise to me in the final
Southside Sycamore's team is not only the team to beat in the division, it should be the favorite going into the playffs
no suprise there though, you could have won it last year too.
this nfl fantasy thing would be a lot better if it was a live draft, not a pre-ranking deal
good luck to both of you
It's a nail biter!
I was warned not to play Warner but I couldn't bear to play Collins against the Steelers. Will it cost the Ponies?
It's a nail biter!
It's going to be close. I would predict the ponies winning it by about 4 points, but syc has pulled off some crazy stuff in the past. This could go either way. Good luck to both of you.
And the Ponies win by 3 points. Way to go, Pete!
yay pete!
Congrats, Pete!!
So, did you guys bet anything? What did you win? Huh? Huh?
It was a close game, but Donald Driver won it for Pete. Congrats! Pick a CD off the list, pass along your snail mail addy and it is yours.
Congratulations Pete and the Ponies!
On behalf of the whole Ponies team I thank you all. Thanks for keeping it exciting Syc.
