I posted this on the Yahoo board:
Here're my 2 cents...
Field Goals Missed 0-19 Yards (0)
Field Goals Missed 20-29 Yards (0)
Field Goals Missed 30-39 Yards (0)
Field Goals Missed 40-49 Yards (-1)
Field Goals Missed 50+ Yards (-1)
Missing an easy one should cost you, not missing a diffult one. How about something like this:
Field Goals Missed 0-19 Yards (-1)
Field Goals Missed 20-29 Yards (0)
Field Goals Missed 30-39 Yards (0)
Field Goals Missed 40-49 Yards (0)
Field Goals Missed 50+ Yards (0)
...MAYBE also Field Goals Missed 20-29 Yards (-1)... but the rest should be zero I think.
As for Points Allowed:
Points Allowed 0 points (10)
Points Allowed 1-6 points (7)
Points Allowed 7-13 points (4)
Points Allowed 14-20 points (1)
Points Allowed 21-27 points (0)
Points Allowed 28-34 points (-1)
Points Allowed 35+ points (-4)
I don't think that's enough points taken away for shitty games, and too many given for good games (tho a lot for a shut-out I like):
How about something like this:
Points Allowed 0 points (10)
Points Allowed 1-6 points (4)
Points Allowed 7-13 points (2)
Points Allowed 14-20 points (0)
Points Allowed 21-27 points (0)
Points Allowed 28-34 points (-2)
Points Allowed 35+ points (-5)
Just my opinion, tho I could be right
The rest looked okay to be at quick glance. We should get more input from the others...

I'm very interested, but I'll be at practice while the draft is going on. Is there anything I can do?

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 08/20/04 11:23 PM
Rank your players before the draft (there is a link, I did it too just in case) and it will pick the highest rater player available for each round by default. The only bad thing about this is that if there is a *better* player available than the one you have ranked, the one you have ranked will be selected.
Question: What is happening with Jamal Lewis? Wasn't he indicted on pot or something and with the NFL drug rules? Is he going to play or not? Probably would be a good choice to move him down if he isn't going to play, but I don't know :p

In your case what we need first is a note from your girlfriend letting us know you can play. :p
And Turi - you wanker, that is what is known over here in the States as talking some smack. This 'stick' stuff you talk about - nobody knows what the hell you mean.

The pre-ranking shit is stupid this year. I did a live draft already for Yahoo, but it's really dumb this year. If you pre-rank and show up for the draft, you aren't allowed to view your pre-ranks. The only good thing they have this year with the live draft is that they list when each player has a bye week. -Pat

Probably good idea then for us all to print out hard copies of our pre-ranks

Like you hadda ask...
:p
I think an interception or a fumble lost should be worth half of a touchdown, since it either deprives the offensive team of a good scoring opportunity, or sets up the defensive team with good field postion.
I'd make each of those worth -3 instead of -2.
I agree with JG about the missed FG's. I'd even go further.
Field Goals Missed 0-19 Yards (-3)
Field Goals Missed 20-29 Yards (-3)
Field Goals Missed 30-39 Yards (-2)
Field Goals Missed 40-49 Yards (-1)
Field Goals Missed 50+ Yards (0)
Given the efficiency of pro kickers, missing one under 29 yards almost always costs their team 3 points, so the penalty for missing one should be the same.
The other negative values reflect the opposite of what I would think the positive expectancy would be for an attempt of that length (I know I didn't put that exactly right, but I'm sure you know what I mean
)
As far as points allowed goes....
Points Allowed 0 points (10)
Points Allowed 1-6 points (7)
Points Allowed 7-13 points (4)
Points Allowed 14-20 points (1)
Points Allowed 21-27 points (0)
Points Allowed 28-34 points (-1)
Points Allowed 35+ points (-4)
I'm thinking in terms of how many points a defense allows which really puts their team in a good position to win, and how many they allow which will make it almost impossibe for their team to win.
I'm also keeping in mind that in these kinds of games, the offense is a lot more important than the defense.
That said, I'd go with the following, altho what it really comes down to is "how important do you want to make defense in this league?"
Her's how I figured it:
The maximunm number of points should be 14.
At each level, I estimated what percentage chance the team had of winning the game if their defense allowed that many points, and assigned that value, as a percentage, or close to it, of 14.
Once the defense gives their team less than a 50% chance of winning, the point value should be negative.
Percentage
Points Chance of
Allowed Winning Value
-
0 100% 14
0-6 95% 13
7 90% 12
8-10 85% 11
9-12 75% 10
13-16 70% 9
17-20 60% 8
21 50% 0
22-24 30% -4
25-27 15% -8
28-31 10% -12
32-34 5% -13
35+ 0% -14
OK.
First of all, I understand that this system places more importance on defense than these games usually do.
I also realize that my percentage chances of winning are not necessarily accurate, but merely guesses on my part, and that the point values do not exactly correlate to the chances of winning percentages.
Maybe you want to tweak this a bit, or a lot. You could collapse the values from +/- 14 down to +/- 10, for example. Or increase the increments.
But I definitely think that when a defense gives their team a great chance to win they should be properly rewarded, and when they give their team little or no chance to win they should be properly penalized.

All points taken. I'll wait for a few more comments, before I make my last changes.
Also, plaw made a good comment on the posting. I expect we're going to have a lot of stick, ummm I mean trash talking, around here so lets try to keep it here on the GBB. If anything, we can use the barf emoticon here that JG likes to use for his constant third place finishes. :p
Freddie C - Pre-rank your players. You'll just be on auto-draft, but if you pre-ranked, then the computer will just pick the best available on your list.
Double-J - When you have player questions (e.g. Jamal Lewis question), make sure you ask Plaw directly. He loves answering strategy questions. :p Take into account that he finished dead-last last year.
BDD (Formerly My #1 Fan) - Mandatory THIS! :p

As long as the scoring MAKES SENSE, it doesn't matter. It makes sense to add points for a good thing, and deduct points for a bad thing. That's the important thing.
How MANY points isn't as crucial, as we're all in the same boat. But hey, I'm not the commish. I suggest you consult w/ last year's commish (from whom you've usurped power this year :p )

Haha. I've been in discussion with last year's commish about my reasons for starting this (supposed to be) 2nd league and I fully expect him to join us as soon as he sacs up and asks for permission from his Filly from Philly to join a 2nd league. :p

Actually, I read online today that on the 17th they added another allegation onto Lewis' charges that he was caught dealing cocaine in Georgia I think in 00'. So I think he's moving down my ranks... :p

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 08/23/04 02:25 PM
Here is my first complaint ...
Where are the WOMEN ?? Hey Commish - whata you a Homo ?
Seriously I see only 1, last year we had 2 1/2 women playing. Granted one of them scared me but ....
So 12 spots and 1 'chick' and that one is basically like a guy with curves anyway. :p
The rest is comprised of a few wannabes
a few sissy boys
and 1 Brit
Hell we should have gotten Family Honour - she is both a woman and a Brit - kill the provebial 2 birds with one stone in that one.
So playing with a bunch of guys, there goes all the good lines from last year such as;
looking to get on top
bringing up the rear
coming from behind
Going Deep
etc etc
At least we have Pee D' Bed to enlighten us with his daily stats - always thought provoking and enlightening

If I did the math correctly, we still have 1.5 chicks this year. You gotta remember, Buffy claims she's all-woman.

You better hope McNabb doesn't go down because that offense is as worthy as nothing. That over rated D is going to be a problem for them this year too. :p

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 08/25/04 10:34 PM
Even without Mcnabb, the Eagle's ofense is still good. Buckhalter being hurt certainly doesnt help, but I see Brian Westbrook emerging as a great back this year. Plus they have a great O-line, solid tight ends, and a phenomenal reciever in Owens, with good second and third slot recievers in Pinkston and Mitchell. Im the first one to jump on the Eagle trashing band wagon, but you have to admit that they are a force to be reckoned with.

The Eagles are a strong team, just choke a little to often, what was it, 3 times NFC runners up? Buchalter injured is a blow to them but everyone seems to forget Westbrook was their best RB last season. We're laughing anyway with the addition of Duce Staley but our running game is going to suffer because of the injury to Simmons.
On that note, anyone watching the game tonight?

There secondary is absolute shit, save for Dawkins. They lost their 2 Pro Bowl corners, Vincent and Taylor. Trust me guys. I live about an hour from Philly. All that's on the sports shows is Eagles shit. They're very over rated.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 08/26/04 04:02 PM
You're right, they are a tad overrated, I won't deny it, but I think you're being a tad harsh. McNabb is still a great QB, and what team
wouldn't be in the shit if their started went down (except maybe the Giants
). Their defense lost some, sure.
But like Turi said, NFC champ runner-up 3 times is nothing to snuff at. It's not a Super Bowl ring, but look at the Bills. We were the bridesmaid 4 years in a row, we probably should be like they guy who is 22 and still in high school - they just give us the championship because we've been there so long.

All that has happened with the Eagles secondary is that it went from arguably the best, to good. And their defensive line is still incredible and maybe even better due to the addition of Kearse. The Eagles defense is still awesome and dont doubt it.

Yea I agree thats pretty damn pathetic. While its great that they made it to that spot 3 years in a row, the fact that they failed to advance all three times is awful. They are the buffalo Bills of the NFC Championship game.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 08/27/04 03:44 PM
Last nights game was pretty interesting. Mcnabb showed some amazing form in places, breaking out of tackles and doing some excellent rushing. Jeff Blake did an awesome job too as QB, a fantastic back up. Philly's O line was very good but I was looking at the Steelers mostly.
Duce - what a class act, gives the ball away to an Eagles fan after scoring the first touchdown. But our other backs look strong too, Willie Parker had a strong performance for a spot, and Dante Brown didn't do too bad. Good to see the run doing some good things. It'll take plenty of pressure off our great WR's.
Hopefully we can take plenty of positives from this.

If we wouldn't have drafted JP Losman, I think the Bills should have picked him up.

As an introduction, I'm a senior in high school. I start at both WR & CB. I also return kicks. I'm kinda small (5'9, 165), but have decent speed (4.6 in the 40). We just finished camp - 2 weeks of 2-a-days and 3-a-days. Our first game is this Friday.

Attention Fantasy Football Players
We've had a request to move back our draft by 45 minutes to 7:30 PM Eastern, same day (Sept. 1st). The previous time was 6:45 PM.
Please let me know if this causes you any major problems. I have NOT made this change yet, and will post later on today if any changes are made after I receive responses.

How does the online draft work, tho? Last time we did it manually. Do I HAVE TO pre-rank, and it takes the players in that order with no interaction from me, or, do we pick players manually as everyone waits?

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 08/30/04 06:05 PM
Ugh, I hope it's not an auto-draft if you are logged on. That would be so bad. What if a player you didn't expect to be available suddenly comes up, but it automatically takes the other guy?
I will try to be there, hopefully I can snag the computer/internet for a little while wednesday evening.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 08/30/04 06:36 PM

Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 08/30/04 06:44 PM
OK, I checked and the draft-time-stays-as-before...
It turns out that the later time slot isn't even available anymore with it being so close to draft day.
In any case, the draft is on Wednesday, Sept. 1st at 6:45 PM Eastern.
As JG posted, the draft order is randomized a little before the draft starts.
The draft is in snake fashion - the 12th picker becomes the first picker of the 2nd round and snakes in that fashion all the way until the last round.
Each drafter will have 90 seconds to make his selection. Once he finishes, the countdown begins for the next guy.
As for pre-ranking, you usually do not have to pre-rank your players because Yahoo already lists the players through its own default ranking system (which is usually pretty good).
There are only two reasons to pre-rank - (i) you disagree with Yahoo's rankings or (ii) you're not at the draft and want to make sure your favorite players are picked first (e.g. Say you have the urgent need to pick Chris Simms as your first pick. Then pre-rank and move Simms to #1 on your pre-rank list.)
Auto-draft (which is when the computer picks for you) is only used for players who do not show up live. The auto-draft will pick the first available player on your rank list. If you are there live, you manually pick your players.
Posted By: La Dolce Vita
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 08/30/04 09:06 PM
Regarding Pre-Ranking:
I did a live draft yesterday morning with this same game (Yahoo), different league - and if you are planning to be present during the draft, I don't see any need to pre-rank your players.
You have a queue box in which you can place your desired players (any position) . From there you can draft from your queue box. You can put as many players in the box as you want and put them in the order you want to draft. If a player is taken by someone else, that player disapears from your queue box.
This is like the 5th year I have played this particular fantasy game and let me just warn you, the draft goes very fast. Every year, my competitors and I comment we swear that the picks went faster than last year! If you are unlucky like me and manage to get a shitty draft order, it will seem you don't have enough time to draft a good player when all the ones you planned on getting are taken before you. That said - be a bit prepared in knowing what players you WOULD like to have and then plan on getting maybe TWO of them!
If you can, try to draft Emmitt Smith first! :p

Regarding Pre-Ranking
How does it know when to move to another position, i.e. what if you get your top 2 RB and you would want a QB and there is still a RB on the list will it take that and skip the QB ?
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 08/30/04 09:41 PM
In short, all starting roster positions must be filled before the computer picks bench players. Therefore, if you already have your top 2 running backs picked and say you still needed a wide receiver and a QB- even if you still have a highly rated 3rd RB available and ahead of any available WRs and Qbs on your draft list, the computer will pick the WR or QB first. As to the question of which one (WR or QB) the computer picks for you, your draft list will determine which starting position will be picked (e.g. if you rank an available QB higher than an available WR, the computer will pick the QB first).
Below is what Yahoo says about your question, BDD.
When you are unable to draft for yourself, our computer system will make intelligent choices for you. This will happen if you signed up for an Autopick League or are not present for all or part of your Live Draft.
The autopick system first selects the highest-rated available player (based first on your pre-rankings and then our default rankings) that can fill one of the open starting positions on your roster.
After all of your starting positions are filled, the system determines a list of bench positions based on the number of starters at a position vs. the overall roster size. The system then selects the highest-rated available player (based first on your pre-rankings and then our default rankings) that can play one of the bench positions.
Given this system, it is important to remember that all starting positions are filled before any bench players are chosen. Additionally, keep in mind that the system will determine a maximum number of players to draft per position (starters plus bench) so that no roster ends up with an inordinate number of players at any single position (e.g., five quarterbacks in a league that has a single starting quarterback).
Regardless of your league type, it is wise for all managers to pre-rank players in case they miss any part of the draft. To do this, just go to your team page and select Edit Pre-Rankings.

Has anyone tried the "Test System" link on our league home page?
I just tried it, and all I get is a little box that opens up on the top left corner of the screen, but nothing happens.
When I try to close the box, I get "Program not responding", and have to close it that way.
Is it me, or them?
Edit: I ran it again, and the box finally opened. I clicked on "run test", it ran, and then "test successful" came up.
Everyone (or anyone) else get that? Probably a good idea to run that test if you haven't already.

Regarding this whole ranking of players since I probably won't be at the draft now, what happens if I only list 100? After that does it pull from their remaining list in their orders?
I'm so confused .... this sucks. I might not play and join that Wussy League that PL setup. Some crap about salary cap and the such .... :p

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 08/31/04 10:22 PM
If you only list 100, it goes to the highest remaining player (for a position that you need) on Yahoo's list.

Draft time is not good for me either, I will still be at work, but luckily I can lock myself in my office and put up the "Do Not Disturb - Draft in Progress" sign.

But I hear you about not being my team. The draft is the most fun, I never did an online draft before, mine was always with a group. You know I am such a people person.

Hey you know I noticed that you put the 'stickys' or whatever they are to keep your league threads at the top but you never did that for your MWA and his league. As the First Half Fantasy Baseball Winner and GF BB Sports Moderator I see that as an 'abuse of Power'.

MWA's league is full, so I figure it's up to the members now to stay abreast of developments.
The other two games still need players, so I figured I'd keep them on top until we get a few more.
I notice, BTW, that you are still conspicuous by your absence.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/01/04 02:31 PM
OK guys, I just did a draft for another league and it takes about 45 minutes if everyone shows up or leaves it on auto-draft.
Please do not be one of those people who leave their draft room open (you keep the window open) and leave it open while you step out to get a bite to eat or something. As everyone who's done this before knows, it is the most annoying thing in the world because each time it's your turn, the computer uses up the entire 1:30 to make your pick (because you're supposed to be doing it manually with the window open). Anyway, if this isn't making any sense, it will make more sense once the draft starts.
The draft starts at 6:45 PM Eastern. As Plaw suggested earlier, click on the "test your system" link on the homepage to make sure you have java.

If there are 12 teams and everyone is picking 16 players that is 192 picks. If everyone uses 1 minute that is 192 minutes if everyone uses only 30 seconds that is still 96 minutes. How do you expect it to be done in 45 minutes?
Oh and I plan on using my full 90 seconds

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/01/04 02:39 PM
Considering the first three rounds takes about 3 minutes because pretty much everyone knows who goes in those rounds, it's much shorter. Even in the later rounds, people averaged about 20 seconds per pick.
Also, my last draft was 10 people, 15 rounds. Our draft is probably going to be a little longer than 45 minutes.
Posted By: Big Daddy Don
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/01/04 02:47 PM
I'm using my full 90 seconds even in the first 3 rounds.
And you know that WUSS PL is certainly going to use his 90 seconds. He has 63 fantasy football and NFL web sites all bookmarked and opened prior to the draft. In addition to a wall size cheat sheet, he also has a projector connecting to his computer so he can have the draft projected on the wall. Told me he is gonna have his hot girlfriend over to watch him in action - thinks it will make her hot seeing him that way. I told him if she is there she could 'fetch' him some beers. He told me that he doesn't drink during drafts - may impare his judgement.

I had 12 people in my draft last Sunday and probably 5 of them were not present. It took about an hour and a half. We spent the next fifteen minutes discussing where we were going out for breakfast afterwards....
Big Daddy will use his entire 90 seconds?
Well, if he can do that consistently 16 times, that is good enough for me.

The GF and I live together, so I don't have to "have her over"; she'll be here anyway.
But I already told her that when she gets home from work and sees me at the computer, she is absolutely not to disturb me for any reason whatsoever.
And the only time she gets hot when she sees me sitting at the computer is if I'm on some porn site and, um, and....never mind

There's a 30% chance of rain in New York, but the wind is blowing at 15 mph northwest, so with that humidity, there's a 42.5% chance that Derek Jeter will hit one out. It also means that El Duque's curve ball is going to have some sinking action tonight, so I better pick the Yanks pitching staff.
Plaw GF: What, sinking action?
Plaw: Yes, woman, sinking action!
Plaw GF: Well, I just wanted to see what you wanted for dinner.
Plaw: What? Leave me alone. I'm about to start my fantasy football draft. My MWA is running the league... Wouldn't it be great if I won yet again. I'm the best fantasy player on the GBB, you know. Really, I should go pro. I'm writing a book. My title is going to be, "Simply the Best: How to Win at Fantasy Sports!"
Plaw GF: OK, I'll just decide. We'll have Japanese takeout.
Plaw: That reminds me, I should put Ichiro in to my baseball lineup. The guy is facing a weak righty. Lifetime, he's hit 9 for 12 against him with 2 homeruns with both homeruns at Seattle which is where they're playing tonight. I'll show them who's in the penthouse.
Plaw GF: Actually, I'll cook something. Grilled tuna sounds good to you.
Plaw: Speaking of Tuna, I think I'll choose the Dallas defense this year. Since Dallas has a bye in week 4... Wait, I can't let you in on my strategies. You maybe a spy for Pork and possibly Buffy.
Plaw GF: Huh?? (small kitchen fires starts) Plaw, help, the kitchen is on fire.
Plaw: What? Yea, Priest Holmes will be on fire this year. If I get the first pick, I think I'll draft him.
:p

DB -I'm rollin' here!
All I know, is I appreciate Mister Buffy so much more right now after reading all this.
He would never
TELL me not to disturb him nor would he
TELL me anything. We do better asking
I mean if you can't draft with someone on your lap, or near your neck and ears, then you're truly a rookie! :p

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/01/04 04:27 PM
Actually, I do almost all the cooking.
The conversations usually go more like this....
GF: I'm home
GF: Yoo Hoo, I'm home
GF: You in there?
GF: Yoo Hoo
GF: Anybody home?
PL: Hi, honey
GF: Hi, Sweetie. I see you're on the computer again.
PL: Yeah. I'm doing my baseball team for tomorrow.
GF: When does it all end?
PL: Never
GF: Never?
PL: Well, there's a small window between the end of the baseball season and the start of the basketball season. That assumes ESPN doesn't have a basball playoffs fantasy game. They didn't last year, but who knows?
GF: I want to throw this computer out the window.
PL: Meanie.
GF: I don't understand why you have to do this every day.
PL: I explained that already. About 20 times, for chrissakes.
GF: I still don't get it.
PL: That's because you don't understand how the game works. See, every day you have to pick a different pitching staff....
GF: What's a pitching staff?
PL: A pitching staff. You know, every baseball team has a bunch of pitchers.
GF: Oh :rolleyes:
PS: But every day, a different pitcher pitches. So if you change your PS based on who's pitching, that changes the whole salry cap thing. You're either over the cap, so.....
GF: What's a salary cap?
PL: Well, each player has a value, depending on how good her is. You've heard of Derek Jeter, right?
GF: Yeah.....
PL: Well, he's good, so he has a higher value than, let's say,Alex Gonzalez.
GF: Who's Alex Gonazalez?
PL: Well, actually there are two Alex Gonzalezes. One plays for Florida, and the other used to play for the Cubs, but now he plays for Montreal.
GF: I'm confused.
PL: So am I. I got them mixed up once and took the wrong one. The one I took went 0-4, and the one I meant to take went 3-4, with a homer and 3 RBIs. Cost me 11 points. Anyway, each player has a different value, so you can't have a team of all players who are as good as Derek Jeter.
GF: Why not?
PL: Because then you'll be over the salary cap
GF: What's a salary cap?
PL: Well, the total value of all of your players can't be more than 50, so...
GF: I'm going to jump off the terrace now. I'll probably be killed since it's a nine story drop.
PL: OK hon, see you later. Have a nice time.

DB, what was going on, PL must have left the phone off the receiver for you to hear all that accurate stuff. You know when he gets smoked this year, he is gonna blame his GF. Saying something like she disturbed him during his 90 seceonds of a key round.

Gee, I have been doing fantasy football for awhile and I gotta admit that would cause me some 'distractions' during a draft. I would probably be concentrating on TEs. :p
Oh and PL told me in a PM that your Mr. Buffy sounds like a Wuss. Asking you and stuff - he says real men tell their women what to do.
That was ok for me to say wasn't it PL ?

Although I realize it is only a ploy to keep me distracted on draft day.
You need to wake up pretty early to fool me. I'm like PL - in full concentration mode - allowing no distractions.
Of course if someone was sitting on my lap like Buffy mentioned earlier - that might be a distraction.

You know, Commissioner DB, I respectfully suggest that you rule that it's time to get back to business here.
The double entendres and comments with, um, sexual innuendo are starting to get out of hand.
We have several "under 21's" here, and I wouldn't want them to get the wrong idea :rolleyes: .
I can just picture Ragging Bull or Patrick coming in for some draft info, and instead they read about how Buffy is saving herself for Big Daddy, and lasting 90 seconds, and porn sites, or something equally immoral..
If you like, I am willing to assume the role of "Assistant Commissioner In Charge of League Morals and Getting back To Business Here".

Immoral?
plaw's a prude. :rolleyes:
I don't direct my comments to the under-21 crowd, unless they want to bash me about my Niners who WILL be going 4-12 this year!! Yep, you heard me, I am BLISSFULLY optimistic!! :p
But seriously, ASScommish, you started it when you took the ball and ran with it comparing football to foreplay. You might need more stamina in that area than you had last year in this league!
By the way, what business is there to get back to? Not much to do to prepare for this kind of draft. Can't even strategize without knowing the draft order. You either know the players you want or you don't.
Big Daddy PM'd me and said to tell you to busy yourself by going to put another "sticky" on one of your threads...
Ok, I'm off to go do some research. :rolleyes: (read eat some lunch) Boy, I hope Emmitt Smith is available when it is my turn!

I feel a little foolish posting this but I actually never read the scoring until this morning.
Didn't realize the points for a QB was so high and the potential for negative points for a defense was also high.
So .....
I propose a re-Draft.
Granted I didn't do any really dumb like forgetting to draft a backup RB or something :p but I still think a re-draft is in order

You know with all this talk of PL and his GF - DB posted the conversation the other day and believe it or not he PM'd me last night with yet another one. I don't know how he gets this information but he does. I assume I can share the below conversation between PL and his girlfriend -(GF) at their house.
GF: PL?
GF: Anyone Home?
GF: PL (Finally walking into the room where PL is typing)
GF: Didn’t you hear me calling you?
PL: What am I doing?
GF: Typing on the Computer
PL: Exactly Woman and you know the rules - you are not allowed to speak with me when I am on the computer, correct
GF: I was only saying ‘Hi’ - Whatcha doing ?
PL: What does it look like I am doing with all these books and stats charts out, I’m doing my fantasy sports picks. You know I am in 17 different leagues and I am great in all of them.
GF: Oh I thought maybe you doing your Internet Porn stuff again, but I should have known cause then your pants would have been down around your ankles
PL: That is not true, you know when I get onto Porn, I neatly hang up my pants in the closet in order to maintain the crease marks - that is what makes me a metrosexual, good personal hygeine and appearance.
GF: So what team are you working on
PL: I am on fantasy team 4 of 17 and I have a lot of work to do, so leave me be. I am currently reviewing the statistics as to how well a pitcher pitches in a game based upon whether he has had a bowel movement that today.
GF: How do you get that information.
PL: You don’t want to know but it is all part of being ‘The Best”. Have I told you that I am the reigning Fantasy Baseball Champ, 2 year running?
GF: Yes – quite a few times.
PL: You should be proud of that, most of your friends only wish their men could do as well.
GF: I am sure
PL: Hey you know that cute girl Jenny that just started working with you.
GF: Yeah
PL: Have you ever told here how good I am in these Fantasy Games, I am sure she would be interested.
GF: Oh I am sure but it has never come up.
PL: Next time tell her, I’ll make a list up that you can show her to cover them all. Wouldn't won't to miss any - take away from the luster you know.
GF: I can hardly wait, so who are you playing with anyway.
PL: Well there is a bunch – none of them are near my level. Well there is one, DB, I call him my Most Worthy Adversary. He is not as good as me, but he presents about the only challenge – if you can call it that – that I get from anyone.
GF: You actually call him Your Most Worthy Adversary ?
PL: Yes, he loves it. He tells his friends and families all about it. I think he may even have that on his business cards. I abbreviate it to MWA – you know making it look very official.
GF: Is he a nice guy.
PL: Yea he is OK. Doesn’t always pay off bets but a good guy. He will rattle off stats like you wouldn’t believe. Sometimes we go hours back and forth with stats that nobody would think of. He is really cool – I would like to adopt him at some point.
GF: Is he married
PL: No, you can’t play fantasy sports well and be tied down, you know.
GF: Girlfriend?
PL: Not sure. I know he has the hots for someone on the board. A sister of some kid Blake. He is trying to hook up with her, but is having some problems because she is only 13 and is finding it difficult to travel without her parents.
GF: Sounds like a Winner
PL: Oh he is.
GF: What about the others ?
PL: Where there is the Don. He is not very good but likes to play. I am his Idol, you know. He made me the Sports Moderator on his board, because of my skills. Hey you know add that to the list when you talk with Jenny.
GF: Anyone else
PL: Well there is Buffy – but she is just a ‘chick’. Actually she is like one of the guys only with curves. She is not that good either, I try and help her out though when and where I can. She is kind of my protégé. She really looks up to me.
GF: Anyone else
PL: Some guy, calls himself Big Daddy, but he is a Wuss. Talking about some aquarium and stuff – what a loser.
GF: So that’s it
PL: A bunch of kids – even got some Brit involved with ‘football’. Only problem is he thought it was European football. That means soccer if you didn’t know.
GF: I knew that – thank you very much So gonna be much longer
PL: No woman – probably only another 4-5 hours. But see this talking has already pushed me back. This is the reason why you are not allowed to talk with me while I am on the computer – so leave me be. I have to recheck weather forecasts now as well as any updates on the pitchers bowel movements.
GF: Go knock yourself out …..

You know DB football season will soon be upon us and with that goes some 'bets'. As commish it might be a good idea to 'reinforce' how important it is that people do NOT welsh on their bets.
I believe it is key for those that owe - to get on top of these things and pay off. Otherwise you will find yourself behind and that is probably not a place you want to be.

I am in DESPERATE need of a running back. I will trade M. Harrison/S. Moss and A. Toomer/R. Gardner/J. Galloway for a pro bowler. I will NOT trade M. Harrison and S. Moss for one back. My starting back is Charlie Garner.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/07/04 01:28 AM
I feel more confident with Portis now, as my depth at WR was very good. Now I still have one Pro Bowl WR and 2 other good wideouts. The addition of Portis (or another Pro Bowl RB for that matter) was an absolute must for me.
Pat's Packers get:
Clinton Portis
RB's Giants get:
Marvin Harrison
Amani Toomer

Yo Patrick I just noticed you offered to give me Charlie Garner for Kellen Winslow.
Sorry but I rejected your offer. I've had Charlie Garner on my fantasy teams in past years, and he didn't do a thing for me.
So I'll take a chance on the as yet proven Kellen Winslow.
Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. But I have 4 fantasy teams on yahoo this year, I'm getting them confused.

So what do we do here - vote ? I saw in the information on league a trade has to be 'approved' what is that about ?
If we are to vote, I would vote to oppose this trade. Reasons are;
1. I'm just a bastid :p
2. And more importantly I don't see where this could help Turi. He loses a stud QB and gets a nice receiver but he already has the other WR on the team (Burriss) and Pittsburg is not a passing team so to have 2 starting WRs on that team is not going to help his team. And to give up a stud QB, I don't see where that is a good trade. And Delhomo he is not even a passing QB. If RB would make the trade Hassellback and Ward for McNabb I would think that is a much fairer trade.
My 2 cents

But if you are truly wondering what the "approval" is all about, I think it is mostly to weed out any unfair (read: not stupid or ill thought out trades). For instance in a big money league you can have two people in cahoots trying to do anything to win.
As far as this -

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/07/04 02:05 PM
Well, the first trade went through... Since no one had any severe objections to it, it has to go through. My theory on trades is that if it's not completely absurd (e.g. Priest Holmes for Paul Edinger), then a Commish shouldn't overrule it. If you guys thought that it was an unfair trade (and the last one was slightly unfair, hence RB's pleadings for not anyone to overrule it), then you should speak up. If I get a good number of votes to overrule it (either vote on this board or voting through yahoo), then I will. If 4 managers speak up, that's enough of a vote to overrule. I only got one this time (BDD).

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/07/04 02:07 PM
Another trade...
Pat gets Clinton Portis
RB gets Harrison, Toomer
My thoughts... It's probably a fair trade. If I was RB, there's no way I give up a stud running back like Portis, but that's just me. He's getting a stud WR and a potentially good WR in Toomer.

Ok I'm over that.
Regarding the last trade, I think RB got the better of that trade - barring injuries. I think Portis is gonna have a rough year with Washington this year and Harrison is a stud. I like Portis a lot but Washington is not Denver when it comes to running the ball but he is a good back so we'll see.
DB you should have traded Green to Pat when you had the chance - you are a Bears fan, you don't need no 'stinkin' Packers on your team. Some true fan you are. :p
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/07/04 02:18 PM
If it was Green for Harrison and Toomer, I wouldn't have taken that trade. By giving up Green, I'd be starting Tiki, Mr. Fumbleitis himself. Ugggghhhh.
Posted By: raggingbull2003
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/07/04 02:59 PM
I gave up Portis because I needed more depth at reciever position because I just gave up my star WR with my previous trade. I am confident that Curtis Martin will have a good year, so I felt I was justified in making the trade. And as far as Tiki being a fumbler, if you really dont like him, then drop his ass. I will be glad to pick him up.

I said I think you got the better of the trade with Portis - I like Harrison have him in my other league. Toomer is a stiff - there is nobody that can throw the ball on that team, I don't understand why they got rid of Collins so fast.
Hey DB - sounds like RB is calling you out here. If I read between the lines - which you know is a gift that I have - I think he is calling you a Pvssy. :p

Waivers work as follows...
If a Free Agent isn't on waivers, anybody can pick him up at any time.
Otherwise, if someone drops a player, that player will be on waivers for a couple of days. Primarily, the waiver system is to allow time for all players to see that a certain player was dropped (in order to avoid collusion).
Once a player is on waivers, any manager can claim him and what determines who gets him is according to a waiver priority. Our waiver priority was initially based on the reverse order of the draft.* You can check your waiver priority on the "Team and Manager" list on our homepage.
Here's how the waiver priority system works:
- If only one person claims a waiver free agent, then he gets him and gets moved back to the waiver priority line (to #12) and everyone else moves up one spot. For example, Michael Vick is released by Plaw and after the 2-day waiver period, I'm the only one who wants to pick him up. I pick up Vick and my #8 waiver priority will drop to #12.
- If two managers attempt to claim a waiver free agent, the one with a higher waiver priority gets him and he moves to the back of the line. Everyone else moves up a spot. For example, Michael Vick is released by Plaw and after the 2-day waiver period, Pat with his #2 priority and I, with my #8 priority, want Vick. Pat picks up Vick and his #2 waiver priority will drop to #12. Everyone else moves up 1 spot.
- If you pick up a free agent that isn't on waivers, your waiver priority doesn't change.
Well, that's about it. Hopefully, that made sense.
* If you look at the current waiver priority, it's different from the reverse order of the draft. That's because after the draft, all undrafted players were on waivers. Some of you picked up players during this waiver period - hence your waiver priority changed.

My 2 cents
There's a reason for my madness. I love Burress and this is really his audition year for another team next season. He's got fantastic ability and one day should be the number one target for QB's. But he isn't at the moment and drops far too many balls so he's benched for the moment. I've lost an amazing QB but I think it's a fair trade. I now get probably the third best reciever in the league, a reliable QB who is backing up my risk but potentially awesome QB in Cincinnati.
Traditionally we're not a passing team and this year we'll be emphasising the rush again. But we were ranked 31st in rushing last year compared to 14th in passing.
To run the ball you've got to pass it too.

Wow - look at all this analysis from a guy who when he thinks 'football' means you can't use your hands - unless you are a goalie.
Anyway all this analysis makes me
Plexiglass has never amounted to anything and won't so this year. Hiney Ward is nice but Tommy Maddox is throwing.
I got you next week 'Brit' - better get your game face on. A battle for Pennsylvania - Pittsburg vs. Phila. Bring it on. :p
Oh and regarding emphasizing the rush this year, I hope you are right, I have Bettis as a reserve RB in my other league.

Well if you read my description above...
The only way the waiver order changes is if someone picks up a "waiver" player. If you pick up a regular free agent, make trades, or make any other transaction, it will not change the waiver order.

Ties go down as ties. In the playoffs, there is a tiebreak system.
We play in Week 10, BDD. Better get your game face on, now.
Since we have 12 teams in a 14 week league, we play 3 teams twice. I get the honor of playing Plaw (last place finisher last year), RB (one to look out for, I think, with his two shrewd trades), and Da Brit (who knows how he'll finish).
I don't know how I feel about that.

Portis not injured, as reported by CBS SportsLine.com
Sept. 9, 2004
By Mark Swanson
SportsLine.com Managing Editor
Contrary to a CBS SportsLine breaking news bulletin from CBS Sports insider Billy Devaney, Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis will not miss significant time this season with an injury.
CBS Sports, Devaney and SportsLine.com regret the error, which was prominently displayed on CBS SportsLine's home page for about 5 minutes late Thursday afternoon. It was egregious and, frankly, unforgivable, and we apologize to our readers, Portis and to the Redskins for publishing the misinformation.
Accurate information is a user and reader commodity we take very seriously, and this story did not meet those standards.
Again, please accept our apology.

To make up for and to continue to remain in his good graces - I think that since we play each other this week that if you let me choose your lineup that will really help your cause.
Think of it this way - either I will (A) pick a good team for you and you win or I will (B) maybe not pick the best team and you will lose
but ....
either of those are better than the alternative which is eternal damnation. Of course if that happens, one good thing about it, is that PL, the old windbag on Fantasy Sports, well he'll be right there with you. He sold his soul to the Satan awhile back - something about the Nets and Fantasy Baseball or something, to be honest I fell asleep when he was telling us about it. I think he will be forced to spend eternity in a locked room with FS in an ongoing fantasy game where only those two play.
And that would be hell for both of them. :p
So there is still time to 'right a wrong' so to say.

We got our first win last night, 21-6.

The best thing about the win may have been the party afterwards.

McMichael got me 9 points today, dunno whether that's really good or bad for a TE but he had a nice day, 79 rec yards and a TD.

RB--In my Sporting News magazine this week, they showed the top 5 and bottom 5 teams' records for opening week. The Eagles were the 3rd or 4th team that has the WORST record on opening week; however, I unfortunately believe that the Eagles will win with a defensive play, but McFlamer (

) will be credited as being a "good leader." :rolleyes: -Pat

Is there a deadline to set your starting roster?
Posted By: Big Daddy Don
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/12/04 02:51 PM
Normally you can make changes to your roster up to about a minute to gametime - however I have seen it close 5 minutes to games a few times so better safe than sorry.
Last year once a player is locked cause of the game he cannot be modified, i.e. if he is a starter he is a starter, even if you realize 1:01 that he is not playing if he is locked. The same goes for a 'bench' player - once they are locked you cannot make them a starter.
Again that is how it was last year - I assume it is the same this year so take that for what it is worth.
And some Iggle fan you are - rooting for Shockey. :rolleyes: I hope your school team loses the rest of the games this season now. :p

I've made some serious questionable mistakes so far.
Started Moe Williams as Bennett is out. Ontario bloody Smith is getting the carries. I should have kept the faith with Bettis. Although Duce does the word and the Bus is getting the credit - but it worked.
Freddie's beating me up so far but hopefully KC have a blinding game later, I got three positions resting on them against a good Denver side.

Man - I play against Curtis Martin and Ron Dayne and lose
Curtis friggin Martin - they cut his social security payments to get him on the field. He only scored 2 TDs all of last year. I am holding out my concession though since I still have Javon Walker going and I believe he will make up the 50+ points I need. :p
As far as playing you next week Brit Boy :p - you bring it on. You put your game face on and better 'bring your books' cause I'll be taking you to school

I have never seen anyone drop and add like you. You added a guy on Monday and then dropped him on Tuesday? The guy played and scored on Sunday.

And IMO, anything short of collusion with another player is fair.
Suppose I want to make a trade with someone, and I want to be able to offer him a wider choice of players that he can select from my roster at a position which I think he is weak at.
Wouldn't it make sense for me to try to acquire the best available players that I could at that position so that I could prevent him from picking them up and strengthen my argument for him to make the trade?
And if he declines to make the deal, doesn't it make sense for me to dump that player or players because I am now overloaded at that position and weak elsewhere?
What's wrong with that?

For normal people.
The person who wants to win at any cost will go into a poker game and will sit so close to you, they try to gander peeks at your cards, ramble on aimlessly to distract you from the game and often will come
this close to misdealing the cards (flipping) when it is their turn without actually misdealing. While none of that behavior is illegal, it is unethical and noone who is a true poker player WANTS to play with someone like that.
A fine line.
Hey, I was just asking a question. To be honest, had any of the other players done the same thing - I wouldn't have even wondered about it.
I just don't want to see 50 players tied up on waivers at the end of the week because of you.....

I just don't want to see 50 players tied up on waivers at the end of the week because of you..... [/b][/quote]Well, your poker analogy is interesting, as I am, as you know, a serious poker player.
I consider
trying to look at another's card to be totally unethical. However, I don't play in "home" games, only in casinos, and when I'm sitting next to some drunk who's flashing his cards all over the table, I see nothing wrong with looking, particularly since other players may be seeing them also.
"Aimless rambling" is never a part of a casino game while the hand is being played. If there is a player who is just going on and on, the dealer usually asks him politely to shut up.
Also, since casino games always have a dealer provided by the house, misdeals are not a factor. But I would consider someone who comes close to deliberately misdealing to be cheating, just as I would someone who always intentionally shortchanges the pot.
Let me ask you this: Is it unethical, or does it border on cheating in your opinion, to watch the other players closely for "tells" - signs or subconscious signals about the strength of their hand?
If someone has a mannerism that is always evident in a seven card stud game when they buy the 7th card that they are looking for, or in the way they handle their chips when they are bluffing, and I pick up on that mannerism and am able to take advatage of it, am I doing anything wrong or unethical?
I would think not. And how different is that from the player who intentionally babbles on during play to try and distract the other players? It's part of the psychological warfare that is part of poker.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but I would say that if Yahoo was worried about 50 players being tied up on waivers, they should have a rule that limits the number of transactions a player can make each week or something.

I wouldn't think that rule would ever have to be enforced. In my many years in this game, I have never seen anyone deliberately put players on waivers to screw opponents.

Fifth - DB - what a WUSS, getting beat by
Lastly - after a frustrating first week, thankfully I get to play Da Brit in Week 2. Looking at the standings, I see that Turi is often where is when with his boys after a night at the PUB - Bringing Up The Rear
At least this week I play someone that I can joke and talk trash with. It is really not about winning but having fun talking trash.
Of course I say that now since I am not winning :rolleyes:
Turi - you have your Pittsburg players playing against a tough and angry Ravens defense in Balt., tough game for them.

Aaah, you're not as confident and cocky now are you Big "all talk" Daddy Don. I think you're worried now, after the thought of losing to me must be worrying.
Fair point about the Pitt - Balt game, the final touches wont be made yet as i'm sure you're gonna need to change your team.

And regarding your game this week with RB - that should be an easy game for you now - his team just shot their load in last week's game. :rolleyes:
Bring on Week 10!!
Of course no bets during that week - if I lose I have to owe something and if I win - well payoffs never come.

Keep up the good work people.
Gee Pee, Someone is always trying to pick on you for the way you play. You are going to get a bad report in your file. This person does not play well with others.
Making use of loopholes, now Pee be nice. To win at all costs, but upset the other players? Bad Move.
I am begining to think that Pee was a lawyer in his past life.

You can change that if you want, right?
Seems to me that the Wuss may have a point, as much as I hate to admit it.
Head-to-head should be the first tiebreaker.
If it's someone you played twice, and the games were split, it should be whoever scored more points in those two games.
Then, total points, etc.
Just my .02; You're the Commish.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/17/04 02:15 PM
A number of you have been asking, so here is our league's trade system:
The formal Yahoo trade procedure is as follows:
If you go to your team page, you'll see this message:
• Trade: Pending trade between Black Car Drivers and Playaz Football Club (or whoever is doing the trade)
This is followed by a link "details".
If you click on it, you'll find out who each player is trading and towards the bottom, there is something that you can click on "Vote Against Trade".
If 1/3 of the league (4 in our case) clicks on that, the trade will be vetoed. I'm also allowing people to voice their opinions on the GBB as well.
Since this is a custom league, in the end, I really have the final say. (Bwa ha ha ha
)
My view on trades is that if there's no collusion or if it wasn't a mistake, I won't overrule it.
I'm certainly going to object to trades that are greatly unfair, but I'll rely on the 1/3 vote for that.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/18/04 06:30 AM
Trades to report... Voice your opinions here.
Trade 1:
Plaw giving Michael Vick (QB, Falcons) and Andre Johnson (WR, Texans).
FC giving Joe Horn (WR, Saints) and Kyle Boller (QB, Ravens).
This slightly favors FC, but Vick was expendable to Plaw and he gets a major upgrade in WR.
Trade 2:
RB giving Matt Hasselback (QB, Seahawks) and Peter Warrick (WR, Bungles)
IM giving Eddie George (RB, Cowboys). IM will release Billy Cundiff (K, Cowboys) to make a roster spot.
4 words... Are you kidding me?
:rolleyes:

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/18/04 12:08 PM
We got plastered last night, 49 - 6.
It was 42 - 6 at halftime, so there was a running clock for the entire 2nd half. The coaches put the JV guys in the 4th quarter.
We faced one of the best RBs in PA. He has offers from Pitt, Northwestern, Purdue, Wisconsin, and Notre Dame. He torched us last night. Me and the safety had most of the tackles (pretty sad for a CB and S to lead the team in tackles). I also had 5 or 6 catches, but that's because we passed a lot.
I was so depressed last night after the game, that I didn't even want to "hang-out" with my gf.

Regarding the second trade, I will just say that I don't understand a lot of what goes on in this league. I cannot see why RB would give up a very very good QB and a decent #2 WR to get a RB who is not even the projected long term starter -J. Jones is, plus they have that kid Lee in the mix now.
I think it is a horrible trade for RB, he gets little value but a great move for the Devils. But whatever - I won't veto it, if they both think it is a fair trade .....

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/18/04 01:34 PM
This is how I justify the trade. I am in desperate need of a running back. My second best is Ron Dayne. Let that show my dire need. I have a very very good QB, and 4 WR's who are better than Warrick. I dont need Hasselback and Warrick. However, I need a RB. I tried to find a team who could have used a QB as good as Hasselback, so I identified one and offered the trade. Granted, I wanted a little better than George, but I will take him.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/20/04 10:11 AM
That Vick trade looks a good one after last night. He rushed for over 100 yards. Although it's still risky, if he keeps that up the chances of him getting injured again increases. Surely Mora wants to keep him healthy and cut down on his scrambling, I thought the new offense was about quick release.
Oh and Winslow, where's that "soldier" talk now?

Douche Bigalow still has a chance in this league, just not this year.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/21/04 01:10 PM
Top 10 Things I think - ala Peter King and our own Don Sicilia.
1. This friggin game BLOWS!!! Not only do I lose to BB (Brit Boy) :p but he proceeds to kick my ass in the process. I bow before thee. 24 points in a point centric league, I hang my head in shame. At least I was able to have some fun talking some ‘stick’ with Turi though – unlike the previous week. :rolleyes:
2. FYI – Regarding the BB being down yesterday actually that was me putting a DOS attack on the website. I couldn’t stand going to the BB on Monday being 0-2.
3. LDV wins the Survivor pool in ONLY the second week – how pathetic are we ? I can only hope she represents the Survivor Champion as well as I did during my reign.
4. And speaking of Survivor Pools it seems that MC won the other won. Props out to that win. But you didn’t see MC boasting of his win like LDV did. I can only assume MC is a bit more secure in his masculinity that LDV.
5. And what is up with PL, the big WUSS. I see he invited someone new into the baseball game with only 2 weeks to go BUT he locks the Football Pickem Game at week 1?
What is that all about ?And to top it off he lets some ‘newbie’ in, and keeps the crusty old veterans out of games. Just so I am clear - he opens the door to
guys to play but he keeps it locked for the
chicks .
6. The Eagles are looking real good this year – got the offense moving now. There is a bit of room on the bandwagon if you want - let me know I'll save you some room.
7. I don’t remember as many injuries to key players in the first few games and preseason as much as I have seen this year.
8. Next week is the big Fantasy Football Super Bowl rematch from last year, me against the guy that calls himself Pork. Get your tickets early for this one. Personally my team is relaxed for that game – they see it the same as playing a bye. A glorified scrimmage
9. Commissioner Welsher – I just want to say that I am very disappointed in that we make a bet and you are not man enough to honor it. Wussy. :rolleyes:
10. And speaking of Commissioner Welsher – how ironic was it that he lost the Survival pool by going AGAINST his beloved Bears. You never and I mean NEVER vote against the home team. Never take sides with anyone outside the family - you should know that. Of course I think it is riot.
As you were Peeps

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/24/04 02:41 PM
Matchups This Week...
DB vs. Turi - DB is coming off two very tough losses. His Bulger has been limp and he's got a Heap of crap for a tight end. His saving grace: having the most points among the 0and2fers. I rule. Things are looking up for DB this week. He gets to face Turi, who was demolished in his first game, and beat a non-team in his second game. Oh, how differently his offense would look with McNabb at the helm. Still, Turi comes in as a slight favorite. Jamal Lewis is playing a very weak Cincinnati run defense, while Tony Gonzalez is looking to break out against Houston.
My Prediction: DB in a blow out. In the famous words of Mr. T... "Turi will go 1 - 2, I pity the foo!"
PL vs. RB - Plaw is next to face the RB juggernaut. After thoroughly dismantling his two previous opponents, RB now has Plaw in his sights. Asking him about the upcoming matchup, RB responded "Plaw is going down," which by all indications, is the extent of his trash talking savvy. Plaw's response: "Doesn't he know who I am? I am Divine. I am Oblivion. I am the God who came down from the Heavens, to make of the Earth, a heaven." Note to self: Do not interview Plaw while he is watching "Philadelphia".
My Prediction: Too close to call. Plaw possibly in a squeaker.
PP vs. BD - Recent sighting: Pat, at his Tupac alter, praying to the football gods that Favre whips up on the weak Indy pass defense.
Pat: "Yo, Football OG, Favre has to represent, fuh rizzle!" :p
Another recent sighting: BD, looking at his calendar, for when Week 10 is.
BD: "I know I'll at least get a win against Commisioner Welsher."
My prediction: Incomplete.
JG vs. FC - Another undefeated juggernaut, FC will now face JG's injury depleted team. Hey FC, you do know you have to give a 30 point bonus to JG because (i) he's your Don and (ii) he was able to place the word "foreskin" into his team name? Now that that's settled.
My prediction: FC in a romp. Sorry Pork.
DJ vs. IM - Double-J knows football. He knows the exact Cover 2 defense to play in Madden, even if Madden wants him to run a 4-3. Stupid Madden. DJ is also our last remaining undefeated team (but don't tell anyone, but he lucked out against Buffy last week... shhhhh). IM, at 1-1, actually comes in as a slight favorite, because DJ, our esteemed conservative, in what must be a liberal media conspiracy, is hurt by injuries and the bye week.
My prediction: Squeaker, with IM winning in the end.
LD vs. SP - SP gets to play a chick. Buffy has Vinny (Bethie, spidey-senses tingling at the mention of Vinny, comes to peak in the football thread). It's about even in the end. Buffy on last week's loss: "I should have won last week. Although I am all woman, I'll show you guys. This SP fellow won't know what hit him until he looks up and sees my firm behind (ask Bethie) driving away."
SP's response (in his best BDD):
My prediction: Can't tell yet. I'll tell you Tuesday morning.

One thing though....
Vinny might be in a slot now. But I have been known to change at 10:55 am on Sunday (after post-Saturday night research
) when the mood warrants (much to my chagrin last week... :rolleyes: )
If I stick someone else in the #1 QB spot DB, will you do another analysis?

First of all... I never said I was a damn juggernaut. Second, two of my best players have byes this week, but it dont matter cause I will still win. Third of all, Plaw, you will be lucky if its a squeaker when I win, because at least you will have given me a contest.

We lost 35-25. But this can be considered a "good loss". The team we played are the defending league champions, and last year they beat us 49-13, and our starting tailback was out. I had 3 catches for 81 yards, but still haven't found the endzone. Our record is 1-3. Next week should be a victory.

Don't let him bother you RB. PL is just a mean, grumpy old man - most that know him refer to him as
They call him an old windbag and he lives for this fantasy stuff . He puts it above his friends and family and he constantly 'berades' people that get in his way so you shouldn't take it personnally.
However your quote ....
Originally posted by raggingbull2003:

You probably don't know but PL is in very frail health and is having some serious health issues - none of which are to be made fun of. He was planning to goto the Chicago trip but because of what he is going through was unable to attend - but did send a bottle of champagne to make up a bit for his absense. Side note, I heard most people preferred the champagne over his actual companionship. So it is one thing to make fun of a team but something else to make fun of someone's health.

The question that everyone wants to know now PL though is do you still turn it off now, 70+ years later when you 'masturbade' ? I would be concerned only because I would think it would be off more than it would be on.

Sunday Night - Final
FC 66
JG 49
FC's Playaz Football Club remains undefeated as the 4Skins drop to 0-3. "Fock San Fran for stumbling over their own girly-men feet all night! Playaz' Seattle Dee totally focked me with their 21 pts!" Coach JG also bitched and moaned constantly as the time ticked by and 2 of his players couldn't manage any carries. "WTF?!!" echoed throughout the stadium. "And here I thought I'd have a chance with Vick earning -1," he grumbled.
DB 56 (1)
TU 60 (F)
Douchebag tries to hold on to his lead going into Sunday night, but must sweat it out since da Brit has twice as many players left as he does. "OMG! If da Brit beats me, I'll be down in the basement with Pork! Gosh! Turi has the least accumulated points, so I hope I can hold on. After all, I am Plaw's MWA! I'll have a better idea after tonight's games," Douche said, "hopefully I won't need a magical performance out of my tight end tomorrow night!"
P.S. Turi remarkably gains 31 pts on an incredible Pitts Dee! DB regrets not playing Tiki! It's all up to DB's tight end Monday night! [The chicks and the 49'ers giggle]PL 72 (F)
RB 57 (2)
Black Car Drivers and coach Plaw will have to wait over 24 hours to celebrate (or cry). Are K. Johnson and E. George good for over 15 pts Monday Night? RB only hopes so. If Plaw holds on, both teams will be 2-1 after this week. Stay tuned...
PP 62 (2)
BD 105 (F)
Shagadelic! The Shag-Wells are the first team to break the century mark, earning 105 pts -- 11 pts more than the previous record of 94 pts held by RB's Giants. Can Pat's Packers pack a 43+ point punch on Monday night with only Gardner and Portis? "I doubt it, nigga," Pat sighs, "though I'm fucking impressed by my nigga Favre's 31 pts but that mutherfucker Griffin and fucking St Louis Dee gave me fucking minus fucking points!" BIG Daddy's wall of offense was fueled by WR Walker's 3 TD's (25), RB Alexander (21) and QB Green's 3 TD passes (20). "Wuss THIS!" he says.
DJ 22 (3)
IM 67 (F)
"WTF am I doing with a San Fran QB!" DJ wailed, "Dorsey is a biotch, and San Fran are a bunch of wusses!" JG agrees.
P.S. The Iceman gains 5 pts Sunday night! Can DJ overcome the 45 pt deficit?LD 45 (1)
SP 69 (F)
Man-o-Manning! Spike's Chicken Wings ride high on Manning's 37 pts! "There's no way I wanted to be beaten by a 'chick', so hopefully I can hold on!" Spike said, "but damn Green Bay for allowing 45 pts!! Wait, come to think of it, those 45 points were given up to Manning! I guess it's okay to get a -6 from my Dee and 37 from my QB! Hey, that rhymed!" Buffy, found crying after her 49'ers were shut out and after JG called them girly-men, had no comment.
P.S. Buffy needs 24 pts from Teste-verde and regrets benching Lelie's 9 pts!

The only thing you can really be disappointed about, I think, is that Harrison only had 65 yards and one TD on a day when Manning had a monster game. You couldn't really expect much more from anyone else, could you?
It's your own fault for leaving yourself so thin at RB that you had to play Dayne.
I hope the cowboys offense can pull something out of their ass.
Some gas, maybe?

I can't believe Brad Johnson decided to grow some balls this week. Naturally, after I dumped him, thinking Chris Simms was gonna beat him for the job, he decides to have a good fantasy week.
If anybody thought I was planning on winning this week...my stars are on bye, and Edge still had a hammy-hangover, plus Manning decided to just throw the ball for some unknown reason (
)...
Maybe my Dallas D, Lav Coles, et al can pull something out of their ass so I don't fall too far behind in overall points.

I come from the very very small town of Wallkill, New York. We have a nice little school district. Very small student body. We have a pretty good little football team that can hold their own against most small town teams. Tonight we had a non divisional match against the city of Kingston. For those of you who have never heard of the city of Kingston, its a fairly large city with a huge school district. Their football team is 13th in the state. Going into the game, little old Wallkill was the underdog big time.....
No one in the community was really expecting our little team to defeat the heavily favored Kingston team. But that didnt stop us from driving an hour to the stadium....we knew that we were probably way in over our heads......
........Blah blah blah blah blah blah......
I can not describe the euphoria that I experienced this Friday night. It felt like pride, excitement, shock, and triumph all mixed into one. Without even thinking about it, myself and the rest of the visiting crowd stormed the field and rushed out to praise our team. Never will I ever witness any game that was as extrodinary as this one. I will never forget it.
Tonight was the first time I was actually moved to tears by a fantasy football game. Here go the details......
I don't have much experience at this head-to-head football stuff. I can hold my own against players who don't know what they're doing, but as last year's 2-12 record will attest, I'm lost against guys who have been playing for several years in a few different leagues. This week, I had a match against RB's Giants. The juggernaut of the league, and the team that all of the ladies and gentlemen feared. Going into the game, the little old Black Car Drivers were the underdog big time.
No one in the Gangster BB League was expecting my little team to defaet the heavily favored Ragging Bull team. But that didn't stop me from tweaking my roster and picking my team, even though I knew that I was probably in way over my head.
But somehow, going into the Sunday night games, I was ahead 72-48. Trouble is, all of my players were done, and RB still had Marvin Harrison, Eddie George, and Keyshawn Johnson yet to play.
But despite Peyton Manning's big night, Harrison is held to only nine points, and I'm beginning to think I may actually have a chance against the Ragging Bull Juggernaut. A 15 point lead heading into Monday night starts to look good.
But Eddie George scores a first quarter touchdown, and suddenly I'm worried. The lead is down to 9, and if Keyshawn can catch a few passes and maybe score, or if Dallas gets down around the goal line and George gets the ball again, I'm screwed.
But Keyshawn is practically shut out, George is hardly used, and the Black Car Drivers pull off the huge upset.
I cannot describe the euphoria I experienced this Monday night. It felt like pride, excitement, shock, and triumph all mixed into one. Never will I ever witness any fantasy game that was as extraordinary as this one. I will never forget it.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 09/28/04 12:36 PM
Eddie George may get you a few TD's this season, but I can't see him doing much in the yardage department. Any kind of decent night from Keyshawn, though, and I would have been in big trouble.
I don't see Ron Dayne doing too much, either.
You need some help at RB, RB. I have a few spares, if you're interested......

I can't believe I won despite only getting 5 pts from Vick and Holmes combined. I got lucky with the Seahawks shutout.
Practice sucked today. It poured the entire time. Some kids loved it (linemen :rolleyes: ) but I'd rather practice in the sun. We were all covered in mud, not to mention soaking wet. The worst part was getting undressed afterwards.
Here's a picture of me from last week's game. I'm #23 in the gold. I'm on kick-off in this pic, getting blocked. I'm one of the gunners, the fast guys on the end who run right to the ball.

I plan on being there.
Where has 0-4Skins been hiding lately ? It is not fun to talk trash when someone hides. Come out come out wherever you are Lambchop. I will gain revenge on last year's SuperBowl lose that you handed to me.
And for those in the Pickem Game - take the Eagles this week. A new QB in Chicago - Jonathon Quinn ??? Hmmm - fresh meat.
Hey DB - you are Da Bears man, what is the talk over there about the game this weekend ? I am sure the lose of Da Rexster is sending shockwaves through the city. :rolleyes:
Hey we should make a bet on this weekend's game - oh wait, Nevermind.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 10/01/04 02:52 PM
Week 4 Matchup Analysis...
DB vs. PP - I have written some lyrics, slightly paraphrased, for our resident thug in honor of our matchup this week.
You better lose yourself in the music ("Are You Ready for Some Football" by Hank Williams, Jr.), the moment (Sunday, noon)
You own it (free from Yahoo, anyway), you better never let it go (like your stuff toy at night)
You only get one shot (fuh rizzle), do not miss your chance to blow (ummmmm)
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime (hellz yea)... :p
Pat has a pretty scary team. Had it not been for the stars alligning for BDD last week, he would have beaten everyone of us.
My prediction: Pat in a squeaker.
PL vs. TU - Turi comes off a tough loss to DB last week - losing to Jason friggen Witten on Monday Night Football, or as they say in England, Monday Night American Football. Plaw, slightly distracted by his fantasy baseball endeavors, is hoping that he doesn't suffer a let-down after beating the RB juggernaut last week. Turi is looking forward to Jamal Lewis running wild on a weak KC run defense. Plaw, thinking it's 1999, has Kurt Warner at the healm. Hey, he is distracted! :p
My prediction: Slightly favoring Turi, seeing that most of his players are playing at home.
RB vs. SP - It's the battle of the 2and1ers. RB, still smarting from his loss to plaw, vows to go monk on SP. SP thinks RB's taking crazy pills. Facing a team with Peyton Manning at QB hurts RB. McNabb, however, is facing an injury-riddled defense from Chicago.
My prediction: Really close. Too close to call.
JG vs. BD - BDD absolutely ripped up the competition last week by scoring over 100 points. When asked about his competition this week, BDD answered, "Well, he's 0-3. He's barely scored 100 points in 3 weeks, much less one. I would say that I got a pretty good shot. I WILL NOT LOSE THIS WEEK." JG, in response, banned BDD from the Gangster BB.
My prediction: BDD
DJ vs. FC - FC comes in as the last remaining undefeated team. (Looking at FC's team, shaking head "He does have a good team.") DJ, a bit distracted by the elections/debates, is trying to trade away the liberals on his team. Hmmmm "Tom Brady was at the State of the Union - Brady for President. What exactly is Edge's stance on stem cell research???"
My prediction: FC in a landslide
LD vs. IM - Buffy, reeling after 2 losses in a row, will possibly have Billy Volek starting this week. Let me write that again... Billy Volek. Ummmm. I don't know what to say about that. :p IM counters with Jeff Garcia, who has playmates fighting over him.
Notch one up for Jeff Garcia.
Other than the QB position though, Buffy has a decided advantage.
My prediction: Buffy in a squeaker.

We have Jonathan Quinn as our starting quarterback - former MVP of NFL Europe. Backing him up is Craig Krenzel (formerly of Ohio State) and Chad Hutchinson.
We will not score another passing TD this year.

Hey - regarding the need for stars being alligned - Beat This ... :p
And you are actually picking someone to beat you? What are you - some kind of homo ? Not that there's anything wrong with that.
This is fantasy football - you can't talk about losing before the game is played - what are you a Rookie? Not that there's anything wrong with that either.
And I will end on one note that I think we can all agree on.

Man!! The kicker I picked up sucked!!!
I hope Tynes doesn't make me regret dumping him tomorrow night!
EDIT: Ouch!! I have McNair on BOTH my leagues and I am playing Volek on the other, dumped him on this one.
Not knowing what the McNair "emergency" backup QB situation was gonna be, I last-minuted Rattay into my lineup on this one, so I wouldnt have Volek in both. Rattay better not let me down tonight!
Volek is doing pretty good!
Didnt Doucheman laugh at me for having him as my starting QB?
I have about 30+ people at my house for a party. 2/3 of them are Cowboy fans. I tell them I am playing a Cowboy fan...they are all now rooting for the Iceman.

I believe the scoring is setup for a -3 for a missed FG
15 points is a lot for a kicer but Commissioner DoucheBag has made this a scoring league so you never know. And with the way my weekend has gone I can see some late OT FG to clinch you a win. :rolleyes:
Naw - I think the name 0-4skins is too good to lose, I'm gonna hold onto my league.
It was nice to see my last minute change from Trent Green to Kerry Collins pay off for me.
Now Collins is really a DoucheBag
Sometimes in this game - thinking too much is a bad thing.

WHERE'S THE COMMISSIONER?
I demand a ruling.
No politics should be allowed in the fantasy sports threads.
"My fellow Republicans." Sounds like a campaign speech.
I say that's "illegal procedure", and demand a 5 point penalty.

Here's a couple of things I know are true:
- How do you keep Pats Packers out of your yard - put up goal posts.
- Plaw will give an equally lame excuse in the coming weeks when he loses?
- And how 'bout them Steelers? Are they for real, we're bound to find out in the next few weeks with a tough schedule, well, after the Browns.
And I'm Turi Giuliano, please remember to watch me on the Yahoo Fantasy Football thread, only on the GBB.

Scoring league? How else could I have made it? [/b][/quote]I should have said 'scoring friendly' league or something along those lines. Meaning the scoring setup in this league leads to higher scores than a lot of others so 15 points for a kicker is not that out of the question.
Hey how come I am below Buffy in the standings ? Same number of wins and points - plus I have a 2 game Winning streak. I bet it is cause she is a 'chick' - that is sexist and I demand the commissioner do something about it.

Hump Day and no trash talk
Well I got JJ this week
He is no fun to talk 'smack' with so I'll concentrate only on my 'peeps'.
In 4th Place - Mr Fantasy Addict himself. My guess is by week 7 he'll be clicking his heels saying 'There's no Place like the Fantasy Baseball Game, There no Place like the Fantasy Baseball Game' because his team is going to go down faster than a cheap 'ho on dollar beer nights.
In 6th Place - Buffy, aka a 'chick'. More like a guy with curves but she is only in 6th place because of alphabetically rankings - I will fix that to my advantage later today.
And with a whopping 15 moves in 4 weeks - what are you a Rookie ? Dang in leagues where you have to pay for a pickup you would be poor. Pitiful QBs her and PL can shack up together by week 10 and talk of baseball. :p
In 8th place - our esteemed and respected Commish - Da DoucheBag. Surely he is disappointed is his ranking - getting beaten by a bunch of kids and a 'chick'. See it is all because of that Ahman guy - as a Bears fan you CANNOT have a Packers players on your team, bad karma. I say trade him to the Thug in the game - it will bring you luck.
In 10th - DBB - Da Brit Boy. I think it is great that we have someone in London that is involved in this game. Brings a whole other culture and his insight and perspective in the game is something I personally look forward to everyday. Plus that fact that his teams sucks a$$ also makes him a welcomed addition. :p
And bringing up the rear - the guy that calls himself Pork. Hmm, Pork and bringing up the rear sounds scary.
He is an O'fer as in 0 for 4. Douchebag told me in a PM that he guarantees - no wait, that he Guaran-DAMN-Tees a victory this week - gonna make him 0-5skins. That doesn't sound right. Told me he is gonna make Pork his bitch. I hope that was ok for me to mention DB, wasn't it ? :p

The only reason I'm 2-2 and not 3-1 is because I had a winning team on the bench. My mistake.
True, Da Brit beat me last week. He was lucky. I was stupid. I'll visit him soon.
By week 7, I expect to be 5-2.

DB told me in a PM that you swore to your GF that once baseball was done and if you were lucky enough to remain overall points leader that you would not play any more fantasy sports at home. And for that she would allow you to continue to view your online porn at night and see her naked but not to touch. :p Oh hope you got some new room spray also.

Trade Update...
JG, who feels he doesn't have enough injured Panthers, will be getting Muhsin Muhammad (WR) and DeShaun Foster (RB)...
BD, the homer that he is, will be getting Brian Westbrook (RB)
JG will release Marcus Robinson to clear up a roster space...
Vote on Yahoo or voice your votes here...
BD, you couldn't wait to make this trade AFTER I play Pork???

Of course he said it would be a 'super' success if his ONE win came against PL, but I don't think I am supposed to tell anyone that. He also told me that he hopes the weekend that he plays PL that PL gets scolded again and forced into more makeup sex. Figure it would distract him but than said he doesn't believe the 3 minutes away from the computer will hurt him that much. :p

JG, JG, JG.....what did we ever do to mske you trade so foolishly?
Smith may be back this week for Carolina. If not this week, next week. As soon as he's back, Foster will be lucky to gain 50 yards a week.
So basically you traded Westbrook for a guy who won't be playing much at RB, and Marcus Robinson for Muhammed.
I think the Wuss got the best of you here.

Well you didn't Wuss - so stop your whinning - or at least throw a Whine Alert in there for the rest of us. Hey, you want him so bad - you know where he is. Besides if you think Davis is going to get all the carries now you are not paying attention to what is going on in Carolina. Foster is the guy they want to get into the rotation, Davis will play but Foster is not going to the bench now.
And Freddie C - you need a RB - I got Westbrook available :p

However, I did say I would send him back to the pubs with his tale between his legs though. :p

I can't wait for my game tomorrow. We all truly hate this team
. My gf tells me even the cheerleaders hate each other. Last year, kids from their school stole a statue of our mascot that was on top of our scoreboard. Then to add insult to injury, they kicked our ass, 34-7.
But our biggest rivalry game is on Thanksgiving.

MY problem is with my "other" backs - my quarterbacks - I have 3 good ones.
McNair won't play until Monday night. (Why do almost ALL my games come down to the wire on Monday night?....right, Double J?
) I will be in Vegas all weekend so whoever I stick in there before I leave, I will have to live with them. No changing after today.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 10/09/04 03:34 AM
We lost 32-20.
I feel so bad right now. We should've won. It was 13-13 at halftime. The refs were horrendous. One time, the WR for the other team pushed our other corner down, and caught it for a TD - No offense Pass Interference call!! (I'm one corner, the other is a sophmore). Another time, the man I was covering was thrown the ball in the corner of the endzone, he was out of bounds
and still bobbling the ball, but they said touchdown!!
I feel the worst about our punt return in the fourth quarter. The coaches wanted to give me a little breather, so they took me out for one play, a punt return. They put in a sophmore to return it. They told him to just call a fair catch. And guess what happened? He dropped it and the other team got it on our 15 yd line!
This was the other school's homecoming. The stands were packed. With like a minute left, their students started chanting "It's all over!" Man that pisses me off!
I had two catches for about 40 yds. BFD :rolleyes:
I need to calm down, but I can't. I'm really pissed off.

As I mentioned I can barely hear you from sitting in the playoff contention section - must be all the whinning from Buffy that is muffling you.
You know what really takes away the luster from sitting here in playoff contention ? It's that the ol' windbag himself is here also - really doesn't make it seem like such an accomplishment. :p

Pork told me in a PM that he is doing all he can this week and will pull off the upset and send the old windbag stat tracker out of playoff standings. Said that at 0-5 his only joy now is to make others miserable. That should make room for you.
Gee I hope that was ok for me to say, he didn't say don't tell anyone or anything like that. :p

That isn't going to happen. McNabb has already been fleeced once this season - so it won't happen again - and Buffy has a crush on her T.O. so she won't part with him.

Buffy and I have a deal this week. Since I am going to be watching the 'Iggles this week she has agreed not to start Owens or Smith.
In return I will not start D. Brien, kicker from the Jets who is playing her beloved 9'ers.
A fair deal I think.

For an Old Rivalry week (Buffy vs. Bad Daddy and Plaw vs. Pork), the trash talk has been awfully quiet.
C'mon Wusses, don't ya got anything to say?? :p

Hey I have been around 'yapping'. My opponent is probably deep in thought as to making some more moves on top of her already league high 16 moves. :p
Pork is 0-5 with only 2 healthy players and the lowest point total, tough for him to talk trash.
And PL is scolded by his GF and is not allowed on the computer at home as per the promise he made to her that if she would just let him stay on a few more days at the end of the baseball season and that if he won he would stay away the entire football season ...

Right. Don't let my roster as it is fool you. I will be making changes before Sunday.
I would be foolish to start that hack T.O. In fact, I am looking for someone to take him off my hands.

Seriously BD, enjoy that one point lead you have over me. It will be the only time you see yourself ahead of me this season.

Look who it is - my vivacious opponent this week and she is talking some smack to Big Daddy.
Ok than - speaking of standings take a look here
because this is the only part of me you are gonna see the rest of this football season. :p
After this weekend you will be 'Pedro' to me being the Yankees and I will be asking Who's Your Daddy - or maybe better yet Hoosier Big Daddy

What originally got me about Amy Fisher (did I mention this before?) was that she bore a rather striking resemblance to my ex....

You know how I knew she had an orgasm?
She dropped her nail file.

I am rather surprised there has been no wagers mentioned. In all past years, we have put SOMETHING on the line...(and I dont mean this---->

Last year BD had to make public his true feelings:
Buffy is my sports goddess...As far as I know, noone has wagered anything in this game - c'mon people, make it interesting!
PS: When do I play Turi? He sooo needs to come over here to take me to dinner when I beat him! OR - he can just wear his Jeff Garcia jersey for a day! :p

Ooof. That's an expensive wager. You better order just a salad and water - tap water. Infact I'd kiss Garcia on my visit. Anyway I'm not gonna lose, I just like to humour you. You'll need it when once again the "Brit" shows you up in your own sport.

From the Department Of Useless Statistics:

TG 3-2 15-10
RB 3-2 14-11
DJ 3-2 14-11
PL 3-2 12-13
LD 3-2 11-14
FC 3-2 10-15
BD 3-2 10-15
DB 3-2 10-15
IM 3-2 9-16
SP 2-3 15-10
PP 1-4 15-10
JG 0-5 15-10
Turi's 3-2 record is the most impressive, as he's only played teams who are 3-2 so far. He hasn't had the chance to fatten up on the bootom three (combined 3-12) yet.
DJ and RB have both played SP (2-3), but haven't had the chance to fatten up on Pat or JG yet.
DB, FC, and BD have all played and beaten Pat and JG already, so the tougher part of their schedule is still to come.
Iceman is the least impressive of the 3-2 teams. He's the only one in the league to have played all of the bottom three so far (and he lost to Pat).
The opponents records of the bottom three are somewhat misleading, in that they cannot play themselves (only
with themselves).
However, none of those three have yet to play each other.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 10/15/04 03:44 PM
You must be prescient, BD. I got a PM from DB just moments ago.
Without his permission to share, here's what he wrote:
Hey, Plaw, pay no attention to those ungrateful fools who don't realize how hard you work at providing us with meaningful and interesting insight and analysis.
Keep up the good work. I, for one, appreciate it, and I'm sure JG does too.
I think all the trash talk is rather immature myself. I only participate because I am, after all, The Commissioner of Gangster Bulletin Board Fantasy Football, and I wouldn't want to insult the others for whom all this time wasting chit-chat is so important.
And, oh yeah....That Big Daddy is a wuss.
Posted By: Big Daddy Don
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 10/15/04 05:11 PM
That's interesting because I also got a PM from DB. Since you were allowed to post his I assume he will not mind me posting the one he sent me.
Dear Big Daddy Sir. HA - I just send that old windbag a PM telling him how much I appreciated his stats. Gee what is up with that guy - here we are talking smutty trash talk and he comes around with these stats. No wonder his GF throws his stuff out the window and messes with his baby wipes. She certainly has a heavy cross to bear in this life, huh ?
Anyway just to 'mess with him' I told him that JG appreciates it also - ha have you seen his record 0-5, that guy doesn't even know what the hell PL was talking about. The only stat he wants to know is when is his next starter going to get hurt.
Oh and do me a favor and when I confided in you about my - you know 'problem' that was not to be shared so I appreciate if you keep that to yourself. Thanks for understading.
Have to go and complete many of my commissioner duties now - I am out.

PL vs. JG - Ooohhh, tough one.
Prediction: PL in a super-romp
RB vs. PP - Pat's team underachieving. RB hurt by the bye week.
Prediction - RB in a squeaker
TU vs. SP - Da Brit vs. Da Wing. Both hurt by the bye week.
Prediction: Too close to call
LD vs. BD - The "Underwear" matchup.
Prediction: Buffy cruelly uses L.J. and TO to defeat BD in a squeaker.
IM vs. FC - They're playing for the chick in FC's picture.
Prediction: IM. But FC's girlfriend will be the homecoming queen. Tie in my book.

No - you don't beat Big Daddy in a romp
You don't even get to beat me in a Pomp
Not in a train
Not on a plane
Oh now you will not beat Big Daddy in a Romp
You will not beat me with bad calls
You will not beat me up against a wall
You will not beat me in a box
You will not beat me if I had Chicken Pox
You will not beat me if I am sick and 'hurl'
You will not beat me if you were dressed like a schoolgirl
Well Ok maybe dressed like a schoolgirl you would.

Wow, lots of talk of me beating Bad Daddy.....against a wall, in a train, on a plane, something about romping in a box.....are we still playing football here???
Hey Buddy, save your odes for when you lose to me. Loser writes an ode (like in the
ode days....haha, I crack myself up!) to the winner. Changes title for a determined length of time.
Can we cyber-shake on this?
Of course it might be more interesting to have the loser dress up like a school girl!!!! :p
I'm talking about YOU, BD!

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 10/16/04 10:28 PM
We won today 23-19!!!
I feel so great right now! This team kicked our ass last year, the score was 44-7 (44-0 at halftime) Today we scored the winning TD with 12 seconds left!
I had my best game of the season. I had 4 catches, and an INT!! My pick came towards the end of the first half. I layed out and caught it on our 1 yd line. I thought it should've been a touchback, but we got it on the one.
We were losing at halftime 12-10.
We were down 19-17 with 2:09 left in the 4th quarter. We had just gotten the ball back after stopping them on 3 downs (and using all our TOs) and forcing punt (I definitely had to fair catch it). We had it on our 18 yd line. Our QB rolled out and hit me on wheel pattern for about 30 yds. Then he threw to the TE and then the other WR. We had the ball on the opponents 21 yd line. The QB rolls out, and then throws back across his body towards the middle of the field. The pass was intended for me, but he didn't get enough on it... INT!
So they have it on their own 6 yd line with 57 seconds left, and we have no timeouts. Our stands were starting to empty, everyone thought the game was over. I have to admit even I thought it was over. So they're lined up in QB kneel formation, but they're Tackle false started. Now they're on the 3. The QB kneels and now they're on the 2. Then, trying to milk the clock, they are called with a delay of game. So now they're on the 1 yd line with the clock stopped at 16 seconds left. We're thinking of trying to get a safety to force OT, but that still was unlikely because all the QB had to do was fall forwards and the game would be over. But then...
The ball was snapped. Our DT got such a great push that he knocked their guard into the QB. The guard bumped into his own QB's arm and he fumbled! The ball went backwards into the endzone! The other CB ran in and picked it up untouched! We all went absolutely crazy! We got a 15 yd penalty because everyone on the sideline ran on the field, but we didn't care.
We kicked off and they got it on the 48 yd line. Their first hail mary went incomplete, the second was knocked down by our safety! Game Over! We win 23-19!!!
We celebrated like crazy afterwards. Our student section all ran on the field to celebrate with us. The cheerleaders ran out, I found my gf and she jumped into my arms! I gave our mascot a big high five. It was great, wonderful, awesome!
Now I'm going to the homecoming dance tonight. I can't even imagine how much fun that's going to be. I'm going to get jiggy wit it.
(By the way, my gf didn't win queen)

do you think YOU using the term "get jiggy with it" had anything to do with HER not winning? lol just kidding
If she is upset about not winning just explain to her that in 30 years during her high school reunion the queen will come in weighing 400 pounds and your gf will have the last laugh

Had I used Plummer (19 pts) rather than Pennington (4 pts) I'd've had a
very slim shot.
I have Stallworth (worthless prick) + McAllister (worthless so far this year) + Wilkins kicking against my TB Def...
Freakin' Philly Def with 19 pts. You still have two WRs and a kicker. And, of course, your QB.
Doesn't look that good for me.

I don't have StatTracker so I first have to say that I was surprised to see this. I thought I had lost - really I did. I can only imagine it was because of my defense vs Buffy's defense as the deciding factor. It seemed to have been back and forth all day - Buffy was on top early - than I was on top - than we switched and at the end I guess I came out on top - whew I'm beat. :p But I have to say I am 'humbled' by the game and my surprising victory.
Ok, humility time is over.

Ok, Ok - enough trash talking - as always you always play the game the right way, talk some trash before the game, make the right choices for the games - unlike most of the other 'chicks' here. I even started to think of an Ode' since I thought you had me and I would have to pay off our bet - here is just a snippet
I think that I shall never see
A Sports Wench as Sexy as Buf-fy
:p
But now I don't have to finish it. And regarding your part of the bet - take your time on the Ode' since I am not at work tomorrow - make if from the heart and the title something sentimental - I am sure.
than again - probably not.

HA- That was great, made me losing in my $$ league worth it - almost. :p And much better than anything I would have come up with - I was struggling to find a word that rhymes with 'wench'.
And your 'new' title, I shall refer to you as Pedro now. Hopefully you can beat DB this week so it can stay a little longer. :rolleyes:
Speaking of which - DB told me in a PM that he is gonna win, that I shouldn't get too used to the title being there.
He may be right though, it was a tough game, lots of changes, flip flopping of positions, plenty of ups and downs, you might be 'ripe' for the taking this week also. And I got your juices flowing also -
Creative Juices, Creative juices I mean from having to write my Ode' - you might have to do it all again.
And in the case you do lose this week, remember that if you give DB bread - that will only diminish any bread that I get. It will truly cheapen the entire 'win' experience. :p
Thanks again - my best win of the year.
The only downside is I only play you once - can't go for back to back ode's.

5 Things Bad Daddy PM-ed Me Leading to His Matchup with Buffy
1 - Her claim to fame is that she's a man in a chick's body. Funny, I thought she was a man in a man's body. (He wasn't in Chicago Buffy - he doesn't know!
)
2 - Yep, she's a chick alright - couldn't even catch a flyball at a Dodger game because it would break her nails.
3 - She's been playing fantasy sports for years... You think she'd be better at it by now.
4 - The question to the answer, Alex... What is I'm going to kick Buffy's ass-ets??
5 - That's not victory she's sniffing. That's my

What REALLY stinks is the Douchebag and the Stiff Brit are both on top of me with less points.
Douche, I can take care of by this time next week. No sweat.
The Stiff Brit? Saving the best victory 'till last. Week 10. His big-necked Steeler QB will wear himself out by then....

You know that Scruffy in her 'shrewdness' sent me a PM and informed me that if DB does in fact win this week that she has to change her title and that it is in my best interest to root for her to win so her current title stays a bit longer. So she asked me to get behind her - and think of a way to push her to victory.
She has a point though - so since it does in fact benefit me - which is the only time I do anything - if it benefits me, I have accepted her invitation - for one week only - to help her out.
So with that in mind - DB I have two words to say to you to distract you. To put your mind in a place far far away from fantasy football. Once these words are mentioned you will no longer be thinking clearly and not able to make your usual effective picks. Those two words to set your mind off spinning ......

Problem is, I have WR's up the ass. (Wait, that sounded wrong.) Tho I have no prob w/ the K and Def you're offering, I can't afford to lose a RB, especially my best one, and also cuz of bye weeks coming up -- and Dayne wouldn't cut it for Taylor
If I had another decent RB, I'd consider it more strongly...

RB is offering RB Eddie George + New Engl Def
PL is offering part time RB Ducket + WR Patten
I could use the good Def, and apparently also a decent replacement RB and now a WR ( :rolleyes: ), but I think I'm leaning toward the better RB...

Coming off our big win last week, we play another good team. Last year they beat us 33-6. They have a really good RB along with a pair of 300 lbs OTs. I have confidence we can win, but it's going to be tough.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 10/21/04 10:09 AM
I only got 4 out of those 9 questions right DB.
I'm looking for a trade. I have Brian Griese if anyone needs a good QB who also plays quite a few teams with weak defenses for the rest of the season. His rating is good, there's only three QB's in the NFL ranked above him.
Looking for an RB or WR.

Watch it with the name calling. I'm the only one who can call Big Daddy names....
Anyhoo, we all know what you meant Turi - remember you told ME in a private message: that if plaw loses and you win, your record will be greater than his and "whilst" everyone else is slowly going in the toilet ('cept me of course) you will be
KING OF THE WORLD!!!!!I'd offer to be your Queen, but somehow that doesn't sound right....

Wuss isn't really a 'name'. That is an identity for him.

That's okay. I was scoping out your tight end.
Ok, that sounded bad.
I wanted to pick up your tight end.
Um.
Seriously, I was looking at the tight end you eventually picked up that I might have wanted for myself.
Ugh.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 10/22/04 04:52 PM
Week 7 Analysis...
As I ponder this week's matchups, I am reminded by the great Aristotle, who once wrote, "All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire."
DB vs. LD - Chance - With most of her players' games at noon, LD can start composing her ode' early Sunday afternoon!
My prediction: DB in a romp
RB vs. JG - Nature - It is in JG's team's nature not to win another game this year. :p
My prediction: RB in a romp
PL vs. DJ - Compulsion - Look up "compulsion" in the dictionary and you'll see plaw's pic right next to it! :p
My prediction: Plaw's lookin' mighty tough these days
TU vs. PP - Habit: Turi is making winning a habit while PP is going the other way.
My prediction: PP's luck changes this week as Turi is severely hurt by the bye week/suspensions.
IM vs. BD - Reason: "We cannot have knowledge without reason, just as we cannot have reason without knowledge." Funny, BD's posts lack knowledge AND reason. :p
My prediction: BD in a romp
FC vs. SP - Passion: Both have shown great moxie this year. SP's team is coming back in full force. FC's team is strong as always.
My prediction: Too close to call.
And finally, Desire...
My desire to beat Buffy this weekend is as big as her... :p

DB in a romp? Romp this:
My lineup is far from set, haven't put my boys where they go yet. You KNOW I have to put on the all-important position playing the Monday night game!
Putting trash talking mode on pause for only a minute, I will say I enjoyed your analysis very much. Good calls there though you err on a few.
You should try pitting your Bulger against your Miami "D". That would make for a crazy Sunday! :p

Scoping out my tight end is fine, but no picking allowed!
I see you need a better tight end, as it hasn't caught any balls in the past two weeks. Is there still time left? You can have Putzier if you want... I'll take LDT or TO -- thanks!

Hey Scruffy, I think Pork is saying you are a hmmm bit loose in the caboose.
Are you gonna take that from him ? :p
I was out of the office earlier in the day - got back right after lunch so ran to cafe and saw one of the specials today was 'Pulled Pork Sandwich'
First - that sounds nasty, but secondly it seems like some sort of omen for Pork. Don't know whether it is a good one or a bad one though.

Buffy has been squirming in her seat. She's a little uncomfortable.
How am I going to beat DB? I really want to beat him.
She gives it a little more thought.
Man, my defense situation is terrible. I CAN'T play Arizona because I have all these Seahawk players in my other league. It'll just make me miserable.
Shaking her head...
Yep, I'm in a pickle here.

I'm in pretty good position here. I'm still within in striking distance in third place, and I've got two guys who are coming back from injury soon... Anquan Boldin and Michael Bennett. When they come back (probably next week for both), they'll be very fresh, having not played this season. Hopefully my patience will pay off.

RB 80 (81) (0) "He just keeps rolling along."
JG 42 (53) (1) 39 point night for Jake the Snake? Let's put it this way - Priest Holmes got 4 TDs and STILL only scored 30 points... Hmmmm
TU 42 (43) (0) Starting Jamal Lewis would have gotten you more points??
PP 60 (60) (0) 6000 posts AND a win?? Insert Big Daddy "Your parents must be so proud" post here. :p
IM 67 (81) (0) Looking to hold on...
BD 35 (61) (2) Looking for big points from Droughns and Denver D
FC 67 (74) (1) THAT is why Priest is #1, Chad Johnson left

What also comforts me is I beat Mister Buffy in my other league, by alot I must say. We made a bet too, but I cant disclose the details of that bet here...
DB, I will pay up on our bet soon. I am taking a hooky day from work tomorrow and going with a friend to Santa Fe for the day.

DB, I remembered how enamored you were with my singing a particular love song a few months ago. I never knew my talents would come in handy until now!
In lieu of the oft-mentioned ode, I thought I would SING you one of your favorites - and mine
Ready?
*Ahem*
My love,
There's only you in my life
The only thing that's right...Wait a minute. Endless Love? That was the one you liked hearing, wasn't it????
Nah, too mushy.
How 'bout this one? Sung to the tune of Endless Love:
D B,
There was only you to beat
This only time we'd meet
This first time
Green took the wind out of my sails
Your RB's were tough as nails
And I-I-I-I-I
I want to share
My congrats with you
Noone (
) else will do
Noone else
Noone else scored as high as yoooouuuuuuuuu
Oooh yes
You will always be
MY endless MWA
(yes, pronounced MWAH!)Two hearts
of QB's that beat as one
Since McNair was out, Bulger beating on his own
(no pun intended )For-ever
I'll hold T.O close to my side
I joked I'd trade him to you but I lied
And MWA
Oh MWA
I'll be a fool for you, I'm sure
(as the loser)You know I don't mind
Yooooooou know I dont miiiiiiind....'Cause T.O.
T.O means the world to me
even though I found in you
my endless MWA
'Cause noone (
) can deny
the embarrassment inside
I'll give Jessica Alba to you
My MWA
My .....Endless.....
MWA

Kinda brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?

So DB, can you decipher this? Think of it as a "bonus" ode....
Dinggin mo itong tibok ng puso ko
Umaawit sa iyo
Damhin mo ang pintig
Bawat himig ay para sa iyo
Masdan mo ang ngiti s labi ko
Inaalay ko sayo
Pangako ko sayo ika'y hihinding hindi ko sasaktan
Sa umaga't sa gabi
Sa bawat oras
Ikaw ang nasa isip ko
Sa lungkot at ligaya
Hirap at ginhawa
Tayo ay magsasama
Ikaw ang nais ko
Ikaw ang hinahangad
Sana'y paniwalaan mo
Di ka na luluha
Bawat araw ay saya
Ihahandog sayo
Puso ko't kaluluwa
Ikaw ang buhay ko

Well, I had to look it up - it's the Filipino version of Endless Love.
Hmmmm... It's weird - I doubt it's sung to the same tune as the American version.
As for a word for word translation...
My Filipino is very bad. I can understand it, but I can't speak it.

Well, I would LOVE to say that I worked hard and researched my head off
But! -
When I looked on a lyrics search site for the E.L. lyrics, there it was - the Tagalong version (among the Ritchie/Ross and other versions)!!!!
Guess someone submitted it thinking it would be needed some day!
My gift to you...

I must be a popular commish... I've been getting PMs from everyone lately.
PL vs. LD
Buffy - Plaw PMed me that he's going to make your losing streak three in a row. He said he would bet another dinner with you, but he said you were a welsher like that guy DB.
Plaw - Buffy said that nothing would give her a greater pleasure, NOTHING, than beating you this Sunday. That's saying something, because Buffy, like most women, love their pleasure.
RB vs. DJ
RB - DJ said that although he agrees with you politically, he said that you'll be Kerry to his Bush.
I responded that
that sounded funny.
DJ - RB said that "Remember the 4 Superbowl losses in a row by the Bills... That ain't nothing like what I'm going to do to DJ this week!"
TU vs. JG
Turi - Pork said that this week will be like the American Revolution. He'll be the American Colonial, you'll be the Minuteman and that America will stomp all over the British.
Pork - Turi said nothing. He didn't feel like talking trash on a bye week.
PP vs. SP
Pat - SP said that Tupac sucks. You gonna take that from him?
SP - Pat said "I'm going to beat on Cold Wings as if he was going to give big business a huge corporate tax break... yo!"
FC vs. BD
FC - Big Daddy told me about his little problem again. Oops... wrong PM. No, Big Daddy said that you were a wuss from being horse-whipped by your girlfriend and that you should grow a couple of these...
BD - FC said that (1) you were a wuss and (2) the duration of your title with Buffy was like your sex life - unoriginal and "short"-lived ( I belive the quotes signify multiple meanings of the word "short").
DB vs. IM - IM didn't PM me. I think it's because he thinks it's no use if he was going to lose anyway! :p
Anyway, I just thought I should pass these along. Don't kill the messenger! :p

We have Senior Night this Friday. The senior football players and cheerleaders get their name called out before the game, and we give our parents a hug on the 50 yd line. How sweet. :rolleyes:
The team we play beat us last year 36-12. But that was last year. We've gotten better and they've gotten worse. This is definitely a win-able game.
Even though its Senior Night, this is not our last home game. That's on Thanksgiving morning against our arch rival.

yo Yo YO - Big Daddy In DA House .....
So I am away for a few days because of the sudden whirlwind that my life has become and I come back and see - basically nothing in this thread. What's up with dat ?
First I want to say that PL is a windbag. Granted that statement has no relevance, I just felt like saying it since he called me a Wuss. :p
Secondly - I see the Scruffy lost yet again (is the L on her forehead now) so there goes my title, shortlived as it was. And although DB got a song where I didn't - at least I got 'bread'
Great job again Scruffy
Thirdly - DB's scoring in this league bites - I lose because of Baltimore's defense.
Fourthly - I get to play who this week - Playaz Football Club ?? What the hell kind of 'homo' name is that for a team - not that there's anything wrong with that. Granted we all can't have Macho and Mature names like Da ShagWells but gee Playaz Football Club - well consider the source the guy that can't watch the baseball games because he has to walk his girlfriend around the stadium
I will be back on the winning track this week.
Fifthly - Pork, c'mon you are embarrasing yourself - you are the returning champion and you are playing like this - what's up with Dat? Oh and thanks for Westbrook - talk about damaged goods.
Sixthly - PL is still a windbag
Seventhly - I see that Scruffy is playing PL this week - wonder if a bet will be made. You know Scruffy I noticed you were actually doing pretty well UNTIL you started making bets. Than you lost two - must be some bad karma or something. You might be better off not making any bets to see if you can move your team ahead. Although if you do make a bet - maybe if you lose you can send PL some baby wipes or something.
Eighthly - Birds are 6-0 Baby ....

Yes, I am a windbag. And proud of it. At least when I write, I have something to say, even if I can get a bit long-winded. Not like you. Wuss.
DB's scoring in this league bites - I lose because of Baltimore's defense. The scoring is fine. QB has proven to be the most important position, just as it should be. Not those wussy RBs like it was in your league. Defense should be important too, just like in real life. You're just upset because you didn't figure that all out before the draft.
I see that Scruffy is playing PL this week - wonder if a bet will be made.
We actually had a nice IM conversation this morning. It seems as though she "wants to think about it". Sounds like she's afraid to bet if you ask me. Oh yeah....she also called you a wuss.

So we decided it was "bread"? Great. I get off easy.
No pun intended.
Want me to sing a few bars of "You're so Vain"? I know it.
I would have had a more appropriate song for my Big Daddy, but he keeps calling me Scruffy and now he is calling me a loser.

You know with a big game this week between Scuffy and PL - Scruffy wanted to learn about her opponent this week as much as possible so she reached out to PL's GF to gather information. Since this was Halloween PLs GF shared with Scruffy some pics of PL the last few Halloweens - Scruffy sent them to me a PM - she didn't say don't share, so I guess this is OK.
PL as BatMan
PL as SuperMan
PL as a Bear - aww isn't he cute.
Below is one when PL and his GF went as the Sandy and Danny from Grease
and finally PL sent me this one - I believe it was from his last Vegas trip

It's a good thing that BD PM'd me saying that he'd be posting his pic any day now, so we can see what he looks like! I promised him I wouldn't use PhotoShop to alter his pics, tho he doesn't know I crossed my fingers while saying that. Shhhh!

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 10/29/04 06:33 AM
Thanks for posting the Vegas picture, BD. It brought back a flood of happy memories.
I was playing blackjack at the same table with these two lovelies, and doing rather well. They decided to follow my bets, and before you knew it, all three of us had won a tidy little sum.
It seems that these two were in town for a bachelorette party, so they invited me up to their suite to meet their friends (that's where the photo was taken).
We partied for a while, but I wanted to go down to the sportsbook to place a bet on a game that was about to start. Naturally Flopsie and Mopsie (those were their names - I swear) wanted to come with me.
So, with one on either arm, we went back downstairs. When they saw me placing a bet, Flopsie asked me if I could give her a "Hot Tip".
I thought that she meant that she wanted me to suggest a team for her to bet on, so I said "Well, Arizona looks good tonight with The Big Unit pitching."
But Mopsie said "That's not the kind of 'hot tip' we had in mind. But we
are interested in seeing what
your 'Big Unit' can do"
Well, it took me a moment but I finally got their drift. So, back upstairs we went, only this time to
my room.
Since this is a family show, I really can't go into the details of what we did next. But the old saying "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" is certainly applicable here.
I
can tell you that Flopsie and Mopsie left my room several hours later, though. I was a little worn out, so I stayed behind to take a nap.
Strangely enough I just heard from Flopsie a few weeks ago. Another one of their friends is getting married in Las Vegas, and they were wondering if I was gonna be in town.
We chatted for a while, and she kept saying how I reminded her of a character she saw in a movie once. She didn't remember the name of the film, but she was able to kind of describe the scene....
Something about two brothers and a bunch of Senators or something in a night club in Cuba in the late 1950's. She said that a guy comes out on stage in the club that everyone calls "Superman", and that's who I reminded her of.
I kept asking her "Why", but all she did was giggle and say "You know."
Maybe you can help me out with the name of the movie she was referring to?

Just a guess here but is it
SMALLVILLE ?
Here is what SMALLville is about
Welcome to the Smallville guide at TV Tome. Smallville tells the tale of a teenage Clark Kent in the days before he was Superman. It is the town where he came from where very strange things started happening with his arrival in a spaceship in the midst of a meteor storm of green rocks. Clark must deal with a variety of individuals given powers by the green rocks, keep his powers a secret, cope with his friendship with a young Lex Luthor, and balance the two girls in his life, Chloe and Lana. The show also shows us how Lex Luthor develops from a friend of Clark's and kinda-okay guy to (presumably) the villain who will plague Superman in his later years ....
So thanks for hmm 'sharing' that story PL. I remember you told that to me once before in a PM, I remember the Mopsy and Floppsy names because of the rabbit reference - I thought there was also a Thumper in there - maybe that was a nickname for you, you know Thump her
So looks like you took the time to hmm 'share' this story at 2:30 in the morning - gee you have long pee breaks.
I am only glad that the picture brings back such happy memories for you. That in itself makes this a good day for me.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 10/29/04 01:14 PM
No, I don't think the film they were referring to was
Smallville. There doesn't seem to be anything in there about a night club in Cuba
But I forgot to mention this in my story.....
Flopsie (or maybe it was Mopsie - I forget) kept calling me "Big Daddy" the whole time we were, um, up in my room.
I laughed, and told her I knew a guy who called himself "Big Daddy" on the internet, and she asked me if his name was Don and if he was from the northeast and an Eagles fan.
It seems that she once met a guy in some internet chat room - she didn't tell me what kind, but hey, how many different kinds of internet "chat rooms" are there - named Don who called himself "Big Daddy".
She said that every time they "chatted", just when things were starting to get "good" (as she put it), this "Big Daddy" guy would type "brb" and disappear for a few minutes.
Then when he came back, he seemed to have lost all interest in continuing the "chat".
She also said she thought that the guy was a real wuss, disappearing like that and everything.....

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 10/29/04 01:17 PM
.....then plaw awoke from his dream.
Superman? My sources tell me...um, no.
Although, DB always said "it's not the size of the ship, but the motion of the ocean". I think he really believes that crap!
Though DB did told me once in a PM he has the "size AND the motion".
Or was that "ties and lotion"?
Big Daddy -
The wuzzy bear was by far the funniest and most realistic!

Oh, yeah....Flopsie (or was it Mopsie, I forget) also told me that every time this Big Daddy Don guy came back from his "brb" and started to type again, his spelling seemed to deteriorate.
I asked her what she meant, and she said that instead of spelling a word correctly, one or two letters in the word kept repeating themselves.
Like he would come back and type "nnnniiiiccce cccchhhattingggg wwwwiiiiitthhhhhhhh yyyyooouuuuu"
Almost like his fingers were getting stuck to the keys, she said......
Posted By: plawrence
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 10/29/04 01:55 PM
Actually, she didn't use the word "deteriorate".
What she actually said was something to the effect of
"Like everytime, he like came back, his spelling was like all f**ked up. Like letters kept like repeating themselves, like his fingers were like stuck to like the keys"
She was a sharpie, that girl.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 10/29/04 01:57 PM
With a name like Mopsey - what would you expect.
And there is an explanation for that. My house is very high in humidity - once I leave the computers for a few minutes - the high humidity cause the keys to stick.
Yeah - that's it - that's the ticket.

BDD, you truly are a comedian. How do I know???
1 - You got a rise out of plaw. His Vegas story was classic... A couple of questions though:
(i) You are in a room with a couple of hot girls, and you are thinking about going to the Sportsbook?
(ii) With them leaving after several hours, that's A LOT of cuddle time if you ask me? :p
2 - You got RB to pay attention long enough to take him away from picking up hookers and working out in his latest GTA video game! That, my friend, is an accomplishment. :p

Thanks DB. But I didn't think the Vegas story was as good as my "Joe The Greek" story.
As far as your questions go....
(i) I go to Vegas to gamble. When the sportsbook calls, it calls. Hot girls I can get anytime. I mean jeeeze, just look at my picture. While it's true that my head may appear a bit large for my body, it's not my big head that attracts them. And while my superior intellect does attract some, in the case of Flopsie and Mopsie it didn't much matter.
(ii) Yeah, there was
some "cuddle time" in there. Actually, for a good part of the "cuddling time" they were making me feel like a sausage sandwich. But, like I said, this is a family show....

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 10/29/04 06:15 PM
Plaw uses 680 wipes per day!
I think he uses them to clean off his keyboard.
Week 8 Analysis...
DB vs. IM -
IM's been very quiet this week.
Prediction: DB, hurt by the bye week, wins in a squeaker.
PL vs. LD - It's been a rough week for plaw. First he loses to begin the week, then in succession he's been called the following names:
--Gullible
--Not worth talking to
--Unable to absorb truth and logic
--Arrogant
--Pathetic
--Embarrassing
--Not worthy of respect
And that was just from talking to his girlfriend! :p Oh yeah, he was also called an old windbag by Big Daddy.
Buffy, by order of the Commish, I think you should give the man a hug.
Prediction: Coin flip.
RB vs. DJ - Too... busy... playing... Grand... Theft... Auto... Choose or Lose, fellas!
Prediction: RB in a squeaker
TU vs. JG - The Minuteman vs. The Porkmeister; Loser must change avatar to the picture below for a week (by order of the Commish!) :p
[img]
http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:R_fh6tr06wwJ:www.thomashan.com/fun/fun_pics/ugly_person.jpg[/img]
Very disturbing...
Prediction: I predict an upset here. Pork wins by 2 points.
PP vs. SP - Pat, coming off a strong win last week, seeks to gain momentum against SP. SP looks to have very good matchups this week.
Prediction: SP
FC vs. BD - FC is cheating on his real girlfriend with his girlfriend on GTA. We won't tell. As for BD, his wife is getting jealous because of the TO poster BD just put up in their bedroom.
Prediction: Too close to call

And no, AppleOnYa is
not my girlfriend. Just another sparring partner. Not quite in the class of FS, though. Hey, wouldn't it be nice to get
her into a fantasy game?
And BD wasn't the the first to call me a windbag. It was SC. BD just jumped on the bandwagon.

BD's wife is jealous of the wrong thing. She should be worried about all of those "chat room" conversations he's been having with Flopsie (or was it Mopsie...I forget which).

Thanks for the link - but I'll pass. Regarding the Wuss Party - although we don't have a candidate this year - it seems that the party is leaning towards you, seeing as how you continue to be bitchslapped from a woman.
And before I go for the weekend - I want to remind all my peeps to be careful out there this Halloween.
And in my last PM from
Buffy she told me that she is gonna bitchslap PL in their game this weekend, worse than anything Apple has done.
And on that note I shall bid you all - well at least my 'peeps', a good, fun and safe weekend.

I agree with Pork - that was 'cold blooded' - I think we need to get Commissioner DoucheBag involved and order PL to give the Thug a Hug.
C'mon show the Thug a little love.
Maybe you two can hook up with Mopsey and Flopsie and mend any outstanding issues.

Our team has gone from underdog, to 9th best in the state. We finished the regular season last night with a 9-0 record... Undefeated. Next week is the sectional playoff game. The week after is the regional championships. If we win that game, then its on to the state championships in Syracuse. I cant wait. Im so excited

Hey Pork - that just reminded he, PL was harsh with me also - calling me a Wuss - no smilie and such either. Hurt my feelings.
I would expect an 'apology' also.
...and he has been pretty 'mean and hurtful' to FS in the past, I believe an apology should go out to him also. :p

I believe this wouldn't be the 'first' time you did some hmm prematurely. :p Although usually you don't celebrate it.
Anyway I believe I owe PL an apology. No - not for calling him a windbag - I was just repeating what DB said in a PM anyway. No, it seems that by posting the pics, he became distracted thinking back to his Vegas trip with Floppy and Mopey and did not concentrate enough on his game with
Buffy.
And now he has to live with the fact that he lost to a 'chick'. Granted, it has been stated that Buffy is a guy with 'curves' and DB even made comments about some of her 'tools' or 'parts' but getting beyond that she is still a 'chick' and PL you lost to her. I don't know if a bet was made - if not that is probably why Buffy won - if so I will await anxiously for an Ode or maybe a title change.
Seems that when push comes to shove - DB and I can take and get the job done, but you seem to have fallen short, and in turn, let down all the guys not only in this league but all leagues.
Your Fantasy legend will be certainly stained by this loss for years to come.
I have heard that Buffy - being back on the winning side was feeling 'cocky' all night - that in turn made Mr. Buffy very happy. :p ba da bump - thank you I'm here all week.
And thank goodness I took out this Playaz Club football team, like I said what the hell kind of sissy name is that for a team. PL told me in a PM he thinks it's the name of some Gay Bathhouse - not that there's anything wrong with that.
So just a little 'smack' talk to start Monday morning. Big game this week for Da Birds - going against the Steelers - can they beat the two remaining undeafeted teams in back to back weeks ?
Naw, I don't think so. But you gotta love TO's Ray Lewis dance - he had it down perfect.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/01/04 02:14 PM
I offered to make a wager with Buffy on three separate occasions last week, and she tuirned me down each time.
Odes, title changes, posting naked pictures....I guess she wasn't too confident.
And no, I wasn't in the least bit distracted. Actually I was paying close attention. I benched Corey Dillon at the last minute when they declared him out for the game and I got 10 points out of a free agent kicker I picked up to cover my bye week.
[whine alert]
Now that I think about, I really should have won. Both my starting RBs were out, and I got basically nothing from Culpepper.
[/whine alert]
Anyway, Fantasy Basketball starts tomorrow, so I'll be devoting a lot of time to defending my championship.
Maybe I forgot to mention it.....I won both the regular season and the playoffs last year.
And nobody can ever take that away from me. Nobody. Ever.

Points scored by a defense (e.g. San Francisco defense returned a fumble for a TD) does not count against the opposing defense's point tally (i.e. it doesn't count against the Chicago defense since the Chicago offense gave it up).
The extra point does though.

Well speaking of pictures - I also have some more of the infamous Vegas trip pictures and some included naked pictures of PL - you might want to reconsider.
:p
Speaking of PMs, I assume it is OK for me to post the one that Buffy sent me. It is below
Whooooo !! I kicked PL's a$$ - shut the old windbag up. Not only was it a much needed win for me but it also helps out DB - I am his #1 fan and if I can help him out I will. I beat him like a dog - I am no longer Scruffy - I am once again Buffy - All shall bow before your Queen. I don't believe I will lose the rest of the year now. I am on cloud 9 - Feel like King, oppps I mean Queen of the World.
Oh and Big Daddy I still think your a Wuss, I should have beat you also. To be honest - that last part hurt and was totally unnecessary in my view.

Well done Skipper. I saw the Broncos game and Plummer was killing me. The Falcons had a great lead but Plummer still had to put up big numbers and score.
Man I left a lot of points on the bench. How was I to know the Steelers were really going to get it done defensively against the Pats?
Right, it's DJ next week. No more errors, no more byes and more importantly no more Jamal suspension when they have Cleveland (forget that Cleveland limited him to under 60yds last game) he's going to torch them.

Commissioner Douchebag, Sir.
If at the end of the year two teams are tied in W-L and Team A has 500 points and Team B has 450 points BUT during the year Team B beat Team A.
I assume the first tiebreaker off of the W-L record is Head to Head, followed by points.
Is that right ?

Fantasy points scored.
Fantasy points scored in Week 17.
Fantasy points scored in Week 16.
Fantasy points scored in Week 15.
Fantasy points scored in Week 14.

It actually makes more sense to have it head-to-head first, but there's no way to change it on the system (that I know of, anyway).

Head to Head should defintely be the first tiebreaker - this is a head to head league not a points league. You are the Commissioner - at the end of the season if necessary just determine the order by head to head and those people will face each other.
It is possible that RB and I can tie - I could have more points than him - yet he can beat me twice and I would make the playoffs and he doesn't, yet he beat me twice.
That's not right if something like that happens.
I have the uptmost faith that in the end you will make it right.
Of course if the scenerio I describe above does happen - that would be ok with me as long as I in fact make the playoffs. :p

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/03/04 09:11 PM
Like I said before, although I agree with you - unless you know otherwise, I do not know how to change playoff matchups once the Yahoo system decides who is in the playoffs. Does anyone know how to change this on our league's page? My "Commission Tools" link certainly doesn't have this option.
Unless somebody has a good answer to this question, either we (i) go along with the system as is or (ii) have the matchups go offline.
I'll leave it up to everyone to decide.
My personal opinion is that unless we can change it on the system, we should leave it as is. We all signed up under these rules, we should play under them.

Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/03/04 09:36 PM
ALL PLAYERS PLEASE READ
Big Daddy and I have been going back and forth on the following situation.
The situation is as follows:
Two teams tie for the 4th best record (let's say BD and PL since they are in 4th and 5th place). BD beat PL in their head-to-head matchup, but PL has accumulated more points throughout the season.
Who goes into the playoffs with the 4th playoff spot?
According to Yahoo's rules, PL does since the first tiebreaker is overall points scored.
Big Daddy's argument - This is a Head-to-Head League, the head-to-head record should be more important than overall points scored - something I generally agree with.
Anyway, Big Daddy has been asking me to override the system and make Head-to-Head the first tie breaker.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Although I first thought that it couldn't be changed, I played around with the system a bit and I found a way to implement what Big Daddy is trying to say. It's a bit tricky and I don't know if it actually works, but I think it does. If you're interested on how I'll do this, let me know.
My opinion: Although I generally agree with Big Daddy, I wish this was brought up earlier before the season began. It's a bit trickier now since we've all been accumulating points and we can see who has more points than others. My thought is to leave it alone because we all signed up under these rules and have been playing under them since Week 1.

I hate to say it but I agree with BDD. Look how ties are agreed in the NFL. It's all to do with the divisional record first.
But I disagree with changing the rules halfway through the season.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/04/04 02:24 PM
I am not saying Commissioner DoucheBag needs to do more work or change any rules, my initial question was only to ask about the tiebreakers and throw my thoughts out there.
It might not be an issue at all but with some many teams bunched up now I will be surprised that at the end there is not a tie somewhere costing someone a playoff spot. It is a head to head league - your team is as good as their W-L record. That is why I thought the head to head would be factored into any tiebreakers. If points is first than this could have been a points only league - you submit your lineup and it only keeps a tally of points, meaning there is no schedule.
Again a real example is I play Turi twice this year. He beat me once already yet I have more points. If he beats me again and we end up with a tie record and I have more points - I would make the playoffs even though he beat me 2 times. I don't think that is right but if it is too late to change it is too late to change, I was only asking now before it gets too close and people vote based on where their team is.
Posted By: plawrence
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/04/04 02:29 PM
When we first started, if you recall, I said that I thought head-to-head should be the first tiebreaker, and if the two teams that needed to break a tie happened to have played each other twice and split their two games, then points scored in those two games only should break the tie.
It would be unlikely, I think, that we would need a tiebreaker past that, but if we did it could then be total points scored.
BUT....
After giving it some more thought, and seeing how much of this game is scheduling luck, in that
a) The schedule is unbalanced (some people play the weaker teams twice, some only once)
b) You can't play "defense" (i.e. you have no control over your opponents scores. You could have the second highest score in the league for the week, good enough to beat the 10 other teams, but just happen to be playing the one team that had the higher score)
c) Who plays who in the various bye weeks (Examples: I play a weak team on Culpepper's bye week and still win but would have lost to a stronger team, or lose a close game on Culpepper's bye week that I might have otherwise won, etc. -- There are many scenarios, but you get the idea)
That leads me to to conlcude that while a "head-to-head" game is more fun because of the trash talking opportunities it offers, total points scored is totally objective and really a much better way of gauging the relative strengths of the teams, since it is not subject to the luck factors involved in scheduling that a Won-Lost record is.
So, on that basis, I say leave it the way it is.
We should presume that the team with the higher total score is the better team, or at least the one with the better manager, regardless of the W-L record, which depends to a great extent on the luck of scheduling, who plays who on bye weeks, etc.

You got me early in the season - I was not on my game - I will be much better prepared for the second go'round.
Hey big game this weekend - Steelers vs. Eagles.
Steelers are tough but I think with their win over NE last week is good for Da Iggles. It will be tough for them to beat two good teams back to back BUT that's why they play the game. Should be a good one though, two good teams, the whole Duce story - Steelers trying to be take out for back to back weeks an undefeated team.
There's still some room left on the Eagles bandwagon though ......

Apparantly it's never been done before at this stage of the season. But so far a lot of records have changed this year, those in baseball and even the Washington link to the presidential race came to an end.
But I don't believe in things like that. Each game is independent of the next.

Did you see the preseason game between our teams? Duce is a class act and is still held with a lot of respect within the Eagle circles. I liked what he did with his touchdown ball giving it to an Eagle fan.
I think this should be a tougher game than last week. We haven't faced a team so far with an air combination as good as McNabb and TO. But watch out for some Joey Porter kicks.

I believe Duce gave the football to the little boy in the stands because his mother was smokin hot and Duce was looking to play 'stepdaddy' for a night while in Philly. :p

Tomorrow is my last ever game under the Friday night lights.
( Our last two are day games)
The team we play beat us last year 35-15. Two years ago they beat us 60-3. They are really big and really fast. They have the best WR in the league, whom I'll be covering. The kid runs a 4.3! I'm fast, but not that fast (4.6). I'm pretty worried about it.

I think points would be a good indicator - it shows whether you were able to put your best possible team on the field each week, regardless of your head-to-head record.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/06/04 01:40 PM
We lost last night 27-7.
Our defense could not stop the option. That's not my responsibility because I play pass first. From day one of camp, we've been told that on option, the DE has the QB and the OLB has the pitch man. But of course that didn't happen.
I called a fair catch on a punt, but the ref said he didn't see it. :rolleyes: I got absolutely blown up.
Our record this season is 3-7 with two games left. The team is starting to break apart.

Yeah I had some players on a bye week. But I figured it would be kind of stupid/ plus fruitless to try and pick up a player here and there. That I'd probably only end up using once.
You just wait until next week, then I'll only lose by 50 instead of 70.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/09/04 06:03 AM
Yo, Commish!!!
I have a slight scoring problem. Onterrio Smith rushed for 80 yards and a TD tonight, yet there were no points awarded to him. I checked my other leagues (in Yahoo) and for some reason his stats were not counted at all, YET----points were awarded for players in the same game ie: Harrison, Wiggins, Culpepper etc....
This problem may be corrected by tomorrow but on the off chance I don't get around to complaining tomorrow, I will complain tonight!
Just want to go on record that I should have 10 more points than what I show
If, in the morning, I have 73 points, then disregard this rant. Thank you!!! :p

I don't like being 6th. Same record, same points - Turi and I are tied at 5th.
Just think I should be ABOVE him simply because:
a) alphabetically "Buffy" comes before "Turi"
b) my streak is larger
c) I weigh less :p
That's okay. After Week 10 it won't matter. Turi will be a bottom feeder...

We have a Saturday afternoon game this week. This is a non-league game. The team we play is actually worse than us! They are 2-7 (1 win came by forfeit).
The coaches have completed their phasing out of some seniors. Now there are a lot more sophomores and juniors starting/contributing. But I've been able to hold down my spots at WR, CB, and KR/PR.

Posted By: Big Daddy Don
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/12/04 04:00 PM
yo Yo YO Big Dadday in Da House .....
So I have been offsite for a few days and I would first like to say how much I missed my 'peeps' but I can't cause that would be a lie. :p
Anyway so in my little spare time and without ability to do much research I was sitting pretty happy with my recent trade.
I mean I figured out a way to get my hands on Buffy's TE.
Thought I would would really work her TE Monday night - and probably into Tuesday morning. Thought for sure that my opponent DB - would be shocked and concerned knowing that I will be using his #1 fan's TE against him this week in ways he would not imagine. He would surely be mad that it was I, not he that got to Buffy's TE first. And with me not getting to use Buffy's TE until Monday, that would probably lead me to a 'come from behind' victory.
HOWEVER ....
I now read that Buffy's TE is not quite what I thought. Seems I am getting some damaged goods. Looks like her TE has been worked over pretty good the last few weeks and might not even be up to the task this week. Her TE might even be 'riding the pine' come Monday night.
Hey, can I object to my own trade ???
I would like to also thank those of you that made me aware of this via your PMs to me. A few examples below (sinking back to 3rd grade humor now);
Pork - Hey BD, what is up with you getting Buffy's crappy TE ?
DJ - Ha, getting Buffy's TE that stinks
DB - Buffy's TE - shitty move
PL - Hey Wuss, in case you missed it I won both halves of baseball. :rolleyes:
So thanks for everyone for their concerns, guess it is too late to stop my trade now.

Actually I think Buffy's TE was pretty hot earlier in the season but I guess after getting a lot of action early it has gotten pooped out.
Anyway .......
DB - leave the penthouse nice and neat now. I'll be moving in early Tuesday. If you would like to concede early - I will be more than willing to graciously accept it.

Week 10 Analysis
DB vs. BD - Currently #1 vs. #2. BD hopes to ride LD's TE to victory.
That, my friends, is what is called innuendo.
It should be a good matchup.
My prediction: DB in a squeaker
PL vs. FC - Two teams currently trying to stop losing streaks. Injuries hurting FC.
My prediction: PL in a squeaker
RB vs. IM - IM is hurt by injuries. RB is looking to bounce back after getting romped on by a chick.
My prediction: RB gets back to his winning ways
TU vs. LD - Turi is paying more attention to his Steelers. Buffy is enjoying the attention her TE is getting.
My prediction: Turi in a squeaker
PP vs. DJ - DJ has a good team, just unlucky in matchups so far. Pat is looking to bounce back from his loss to (gasp) Pork.
My prediction: Pat hopes Pork loses as well or he'll be alone in the basement. DJ in a romp.
JG vs. SP - Guys take their fantasy basketball rivalry and go one-on-one in football. JG is looking to make it three in a row.
My prediction: SP - Manning too strong

Thanks for the concern and you would know all about that - with the exception of the missing baby wipes - could be you.
Anyway in my absence I meant to ask you how could you lose to a team last week that had a team without 3 players even playing ? Must be a lag due to the startup of basketball.

I'm still trying to figure that one out myself
I think it may have had something to do with post-election blues.
You know, speaking of basketball.....
Today is the 11th day of the season. So if you joined now, you'd have a built in excuse for losing.
You could say....lemme think here for a minute.....hmmmm....
I know. You could tell everyone "I started 12 days late".
Oh, and BTW...I'm picking DB to romp this week. he should win by at least 30.

Game Day!
This is my last away game of my football career. The game starts at 1:30. I have to be at the school by 10. Last night was my first free Friday night in a while, but I actually went to bed early (after AI's game winning shot
).
The local newspaper sports writers make their picks for each of the local high school games. For the first time all season, all 6 writers picked us to win.
And yesterday before practice, my coach told me that I made 2nd team all-league at WR!

It's official - Buffy's TE is all mine and I will be 'working' it tomorrow night. I can only hope with the output tomorrow night at the end it will confused with a WR.
Anyway my game with DB is soon. My M.W.A. - oh wait I can't say that PL will get jealous. OK, well I am his number one fan - oh wait, can't say that either, Buffy will get jealous. Well in any event - it's a game for first - am I the only one with hard nipples ?
Hey DB, I would bet you, buy well you know ...

I think the Wuss got the best of you here.
Mushy gave me 3 TD's for 24 pts today! :p That's five in the last 3 weeks.

Buffy's TE might be a lot of things but 32 points is not one of them. So all this talk of Buffy's TE and in the end it was stinkin Dallas Clarke that did me in. As fine as Buffy's TE may be - I hate to admit and feel a bit like a Sissy admitting it but it seems that DB has the better TE.
Now wonder Buffy is your number 1 fan. And I am starting to think that when PL refers to you as MWA - he really means Most Worthy Ass ....
Of course my TE was not playing today so in the end I guess it is still up for grabs who has the best TE. :p
And just in case anyone was wondering - with this loss my nipples aren't hard anymore.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/15/04 03:56 AM
We won yesterday 22-13.
Their field had absolutely no drainage, so it was like we were playing on a muddy sponge.
I had one catch for 25 yds. I aslo had two pass break-ups. And I got a 5 yd facemask penalty called on me.
We're 4-7, with one game left. It's on Thanksgiving morning against our arch rival. It's sad to think I have less than two weeks left of my football career.
It's even sadder to think that I start wrestling the Monday after Thanksgiving (wrestling is not fun)

I updated the scores above.
Lost by 1 lousy point. :rolleyes: What really kills me is, when Pennington went down I picked up Palmer. Then, before the weekend I didn't think Palmer would be any good -- and sure enough, his total was zero this weekend. I knew it was a tough matchup, but
I didn't think Bledsoe would get a NEGATIVE score!! A zero from Palmer would've given me the Win!!
:rolleyes:
And, as usual, I'd've still beaten half our league with my total. Tough break.
Good job, BBQ Wings...

[/b][/quote]Good question. Wrestling is just something that I have always done in the winter. I'm pretty decent too. I'll be in the starting line-up this year at 152 lbs.
It's not fun because there is
a lot of running (we run more than the track team). Also, I have to watch what I eat. Right now I'm at 163 lbs, so as soon as football is over, I'm on a diet. No big Thanksgiving meal for me.

Congrats on your win. You are still on top of me, you old brute. (kindly move your elbow?...)
I needed a live, breathing QB - didn't get one in time. I could make the normal excuses and cite the really BIG one - I AM MOVING SOON!!!!
I can't make the normal excuses here since in my other league -(I am downright giddy!)- I think I broke some kind of fantasy record this week, my lineup: Favre, Manning, Stokely, Mohammed, T.O., Deuce and Emmitt, Wiggins at TE, Wilkins and Detroit D. I know I should not be talking about my other league - but like I said I am giddy about this team this week! I will be an easy 2nd there now.
Here, I won't even make the playoffs. Hmmm, who wants T.O.? :p
Kidding. You know who you are.....

I have Brett Favare on one of my other fantasy teams, and thatnks to him, I may have won the game. I'm not entirely sure as my opponent had philly's defense left. And I still had the Cowboys Eddie George left.
And thanks to McNabb I may have won in yet another fantasy league. I was down by 25.89 points(weird scoring system set up by the commisioner) And Mcnabb had a damn good night 345 yards, 4 TD's. As for him having a good night for RB, oh well I had already lost that game, so no big deal.

Signature update.
I want to hear a little trade talk before the deadline. I got some great QB's putting up big numbers and a good defense in Chicago.
Unlucky Buffy, I actually thought I was sure to lose this when I woke this morning and saw 3 td's by Owens.
Oh and what's that I hear? Some English guy playing for a play-off place? Oh I say old chap, jolly good show.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/18/04 06:09 AM
I'll have to think about that trade, Douche. Mushy is the only decent WR I have (and after last week, the best non-QB offensive player I have). Faulk is a big name, but hardly a big season -- and it's not a strong match-up for him this week. And Gaffney, well, Gaffney...
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/18/04 02:40 PM
Just as a Reminder
For those who are considering trade proposals or considering to offer a trade, it would be a good idea to have those trades offered and accepted by the end of day today, or at the latest, early morning tomorrow.
The reason for this is because once you add in:
- 48 hours of "Pending" time
- Up to 24 hours of "Processing" time Yahoo gives itself after the two days of Pending time
... we are quickly bumping up against the noon game on Sunday.
I don't really know how this bumps up against the November 19th deadline because little detail is given on that date.

Douche - I may regret it, but the last wuss who gave up Mushy got burned. He's done me well, so perhaps you may wanna pawn "dis Faulking guy" elsewhere...
Besides, it's a little fishy Last trading with First, eh? Also, I want to beat Pat and don't think I can Destroy DJ without a decent WR! Buff, I'll need your help this week... don't let PP go 4-7!

Week 11 Analysis
DB vs. SP - DB has tough matchups this week and hopes that all of Peyton's TD passes is to Dallas Clark. SP hopes Peyton continues on his torrid pace.
My prediction: DB in a squeaker.
PL vs. BD - Plaw is hoping that Emmitt helps him for a playoff run. Must get past BD first to make the playoffs. BD has been mysteriously quiet this week - he talked more trash when Plaw was facing Buffy.
My prediction: Too many injuries for PL although he does have some good matchups. BD in a squeaker.
RB vs. FC - FC is trying to stop his losing streak. RB wants to clinch a playoff spot.
My prediction: RB has better matchups. RB wins.
TU vs. IM - Turi is trying to make it three in a row. Not unlike the Vikes, IM has been really hurt by Moss's injury.
My prediction: TU
PP vs. LD - Buffy is weak at RB while Pat is weak at WR. Good QB matchups for both.
My prediction: Buffy
JG vs. DJ - This will be the matchup of the day, I think. I predict that it will be very high scoring.
My prediction: DJ in a squeaker.

No - not quiet just have some things outside cyberspace that I am dealing with this week. But while I have a minute I have noticed PL has been quiet - the Big Wuss that he is. As you know I always try to do some research on my opponents, you know learn their weaknesses etc. So as I was searching Google for information on PLaw - look at what I found - I don't believe the formal issue has been released yet, hopefully I am not spoiling a surprise ...
I can only hope that inside there are more pictures of Floppsie and Mopsie .... :rolleyes:
And although I don't like my matchups this week - I am booting PL out of the playoff hunt this week. :p

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/20/04 12:01 PM
Yeah, about ten weeks ago, and I am a bit embarrassed to have hit 6000 so quickly
Between fantasy sports and defending our civil liberties, though.....
I liked DBs ideas (nos. 2, 3, & 4) for a 6000th, but it wound up being posting today's scores in the basketball thread.

Trade Update
Iceman gets Marshall Faulk and Jimmy Smith. DB gets Randy Moss.
OK, here's the deal. I've been negotiating with Iceman for a while and we came to agreement yesterday. However, being out all last night, I didn't see his PM (which he sent before the deadline) accepting my PM offer, so to make a long story short, the deal wasn't accepted on the Yahoo site.
I'm asking for your opinion on a couple of things:
1 - If you agree with the deal
2 - Shortening the trade process so that IM gets to use Faulk and Smith this week
I'll stand by the league's decision.
I sent this same message as PM. I've temporarily allowed the trade to be processed on the Yahoo site so people can vote against it there, if they'd prefer and in case anyone checks there first.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/20/04 05:03 PM
I aren't bothered about the deal, let it go through.
But shortening the trade process is a little unfair. I've actually turned down trades this season just because I couldn't immediately use them by the next game. All those details are included in the trade proposal.
But hey I'm gonna look a stingy Scott if I appeal this because I've got Iceman tomorrow. I can't win.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/20/04 05:08 PM
Interesting deal....
Iceman trades for immediate help, hoping to just get into the playoffs.
You, figuring you're in already, sacrifice points for a week or two to have help once you get there.
As long as the deal was accepted prior to the deadline, even if it wasn't through Yahoo, it's OK with me.
After all, we can't let our personal lives revolve around fantasy sports (Like I should talk).
As far as using the players this week goes, though.....
We've all had to live with that rule in making trades. When I was talking trade to JJ earlier this week, I kept reminding him about the 48 hour waiting period.
If you were negotiating for a while, Iceman should have known that he had to accept the deal by 1:00 PM Friday to use the players on Sunday.
So if he did, then fine. But if he didn't accept the trade until 10 PM last night, let's say, then I don't know......

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/20/04 05:14 PM
Unfortunately, the deal was accepted by Iceman after the noon deadline yesterday. Yes, we are walking on a slippery slope here with shortening the process time.
It's really up to Iceman. Iceman, do you want me to cancel the trade if you can't use the players this week?
Posted By: The Iceman
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/21/04 02:13 AM
No Don Sicilia even if I'm unable to use the players this week. I still want the trade to go through as planned.
If you were negotiating for a while, Iceman should have known that he had to accept the deal by 1:00 PM Friday to use the players on Sunday.
In response to this, I got called into work early on Friday, and didn't get the pm until I got home.
I'd like to urge the other players in the league, to accept the possibility of me using the players this week.
If not then oh well.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/21/04 07:17 AM
REAL Fantasy Sports players know when to say "no"! They know when to call in late cuz they've been up late checking for injuries, and they know when to call out if they need to do a live draft. They know when trades have to be in for the current week, and they know when to get online at work to do whatever it takes. Hell, they even know when so-and-so's neighbor's aunt is going into labor!
But all that said, I have no problem with whatever the Iceman and Douche decide. I don't play IM again until Week 13, and what's a little Faulk'n Smith to get in my way? :p
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/21/04 03:22 PM
Final Decision
I'll let the Moss/Smith-Faulk trade process through the normal Yahoo procedures and in all likelihood, IM probably can't use Faulk and Smith this week (unless by some miracle it's approved and processed by the noon game today).
Enough players (4+ - the number required to overturn a trade) have spoken up through PM (and not just those battling for playoff positions with you) mentioning that our rules have been in place since before Week 1 and we've all been making transaction decisions around those rules since Week 1. It would be out of character for us to change it now. I feel bad for IM, but looking at it objectively, it's the correct decision.
In any case, Iceman can cancel the trade now if he wants. His decision either way is fine with me.

Can I just say as a "Loser", I don't care how it goes???
As far as losing to the Thug - I had Favre and Driver in my other league - the one I AM playoff bound - so talk about being happy in one, sad in another.

No TU doesn't need to worry, neither does anyone else who remains on my schedule. I never sold my soul.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/23/04 02:37 PM
WTF? I get an email this morning telling me the trade with Plaw was void and didn't go through because Smith is not on my roster and Givens isn't on his...so I don't get any points for Givens or anything. Grr.
Oh well, it's not like I was going to win anyways, but WTF?!?!
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/23/04 02:53 PM
DJ and Plaw - the trade didn't technically go through (in Yahoo's mind) because I manually put Givens and Smith on your respective rosters. Even as I did this, Yahoo still went through all of its processing time (which was way longer than 24 hours) and when the computer decided that the trade should be processed, it found that you guys no longer had those players on your roster because guess what - I already made the switch. Since you guys were trying to trade players no longer on your roster (because of my manual switching), it voided the trade. Due to the manual switch however, the trade was still processed correctly.
I hope that made sense.
In any case, Plaw DID get credit for his 1 point from Smith. You didn't get a score from Givens because he sucked last night and only had 1 reception for 3 yards.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/23/04 03:35 PM
Week 12 marks the week where we circle all the way back to our first opponent. As an update to the strength-of-schedule that Plaw did earlier (and may only interest us two anyway), here is the strength of schedule for our respective "repeat" opponents:
Player (Remaining Opponents) (Record)
DB - (PL, RB, TU) (18-15)
BD - (RB, TU, PP) (17-16)
RB - (BD, DB, PL) (20-13)
FC - (TU, PP, JG) (13-20)
TU - (FC, BD, DB) (21-12)
IM - (PP, JG, DJ) (11-22)
PL - (DB, SP, RB) (20-13)
SP - (DJ, PL, LD) (14-19)
LD - (JG, DJ, SP) (12-21)
DJ - (SP, LD, IM) (16-17)
PP - (IM, FC, BD) (19-14)
JG - (LD, IM, FC) (17-16)
Looks like FC has a good shot of staying in the top 4 and IM could sneak in with the easiest strength of schedule in our whole group. Turi gets the short end of the stick with the toughest schedule.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/23/04 03:44 PM
Mine is no picnic, either
For about the fifth time this season, I just may have to rant about how the luck of the schedule is the deciding factor in this game, and while it's fun to go head-to-head, the only truly objective way of measuring our individual performance is by points scored.
That measures our skill in drafting, selecting who to play and who to bench each week, trading, and waiver/free agent moves.
I have a little free time today.... :rolleyes:
I bet I could construct a schedule that, had we been following it from week 1 instead of the one we used, could turn the standings almost upside down.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/23/04 05:05 PM
Wow.....
This little exercise really crystalized for me how much luck really is involved in this game.
I'm assuming that Yahoo sets the schedule randomly, in which case of all of the thousands and thousands of possible ways to arrange an 11 game schedule for a 12 team league where everyone plays everyone else once, the one we wound up with was no more or less likely to be our schedule than one in which DB could be 2-9 instead of 8-3, or one in which JG could be 10-1 instead of 3-8.
The flaw in my argument, of course, is that the top three scorers in the league have the best W-L records, which is as it should be, and it's easy to understand why.
If there are, let's say for simplicity, 1000 possible combinations for our schedule, there's only maybe a handful that will yield a 2-9 record for DB, who's second in the league in scoring. There would probably be several hundred that would leave him at, let's say, 7-4 or better.
Same for JG. Most of the 1000 scheduling possibilities would probably leave him at about 4-7 or worse, since he's next to last in scoring.
I just picked schedules that suited my argument.
The chances of DB being 2-9 are not the same as the chances of him being 8-3.
But still........
IM, for example, is 6-5 with 607 points scored. JG is 3-8, with only 20 fewer points. Without even looking, I'd bet that IM has won a bunch of close games when scoring relatively few points. Strictly the luck of scheduling for him.

Do the points reset for the playoffs? Is there seeding, like #1 vs #4 and #2 vs #3? Basically, how do the playoffs work?
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/23/04 09:05 PM
Once the playoffs start, the top 4 are seeded by order of finish. #1 plays #4 and #2 plays #3 in Week 15 and the Week 15 winners match up in Week 16. The Week 15 losers play for 3rd in Week 16.

Last year we had 8 teams.
In the "first" bracket, it was 1 vs. 4, and 2 vs. 3 the first week. The winners met for the championship, and the losers played for third place.
In the "second" bracket, it was 5 vs 8, and 6 vs. 7. The winners met for 5th place, and the losers played for 7th.

We're not having games in Week 17.
Week 17 is generally thought of as a bad week to have playoff games, especially the final playoff game, because some teams in real life might sit out their best players because they've already clinched. How would you like to be the owner of Tom Brady or Hines Ward, make it all the way to the finals of your fantasy playoffs, only to lose in Week 17 because New England or Pittsburgh chose to sit them that week?

I think it's safe to say that if the top four finishers in points are the top four in W-L record, which is how it stands now, the "integrity" (and I'm using that term very loosely, for lack of a better one) of the playoffs, and the league as a whole, is maintained.
But if someone finishes in the top four in scoring and
doesn't make the playoffs,
and their high point total is not attributable to one or two weeks where they scored way above their norm, then I think it's safe to say that they didn't make the playoffs because of the quirks in the schedule.
What other reason could there be?

No school today, so we had a 8 am practice. This was my last "real" practice. Tomorrow we have pregame, and then Thanksgiving.
My team has a tradition called "Senior Hit Day". At the last practice each season, every senior gets to pick an underclassmen to hit. You get like a 10 yd running start, while the underclassmen just stands there, waiting to get absolutely drilled.
I picked our starting fullback. He's a big kid - 6 ft, 230 lbs. He is a really good lead blocker, and he makes a lot of pancake blocks. So I wanted to give a taste of his own medicine.
(I also picked him because everyday he tells me how hot my gf is

No....
Last year those in the second bracket were playing for 5th place. There was no third week where the winner of that bracket played you.
The first four finishers are playing for 1st thru 4th, the next four finishers for 5th thru 8th only, and the last four finishers are playing for 9th thru 12th only.

We lost this morning, 46-15.
Final record: 4-8
Our team took a step in the right direction this year. These were our records the previous 3 years:
Freshman: 1-11
Sophomore: 0-12
Junior: 1-11
So 4-8 is an improvement. I'll know my final season stats on Monday.
I start wrestling on Monday.

Well, the fact that I missed the first 15 minutes of the draft notwithstanding, I thought I had assembled a half-decent team. I was able to hang in for the first few weeks, staying near #3, but after that, I either lost by a small margin, or got totally blown-out. So grr. The biggest hits come from: Edgerrin James not being, or perhaps, Peyton Manning being, the center of the Colts touchdown offense...The Bills catatonic pass offense coupled with my shoddy receiver squad (which actually wasn't bad, Glenn was having a good year till he got hurt, but oh well).
I'll be back next year. Hopefully we can set a draft time and not change it like the day of

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/28/04 01:24 PM
I'll admit that James is a bad Fantasy RB choice. Short goal line plays and Manning is still throwing them TD's. Killer.

Kinda like real football??? :rolleyes: [/b][/quote]Well, there is an element of luck in scheduling in real football, of course. Who you happen to play in a given year, because the schedule is unbalanced.
But in our league, at least thru the first 11 weeks, the schedule was balanced.
And the difference is, in real life a team has a huge element of control over how many points the other team scores.
Yesterday the Browns scored 48 ponts, ordinarily more than enough to win. But
it was their fault that they allowed 58 and lost.
In our league, DJ scored 92 - more than enough to usually win. But he had no control over the fact that SP happened to score 106.

Well, if we give Bulger, let's say, 250 yards, 2 TD passes, and one INT, that's 15 points.
If one of those TD passes doesn't go to Holt, you'll win, unless Holt racks up 100 yards without catching a TD pass.
Should be interesting, anyway....
Lotta different ways it can turn out.
With me having an 11 point lead, and a TD worth six, and 5 points going to a QB with 250 yards or a WR with a 100, I's say that there's a legitimate chance of a tie.

Along with "The Department Of Useless Statistics", I have decided to create another:
"The Department Of Exercises In Futility"
In keeping with my theory that this game depends largely on the luck of the schedule, I decided to take a look at "Lucky Wins" and "Tough Losses"
You get credit for a lucky win in a week in which your score was lower than that of more than half of the other people in the league, but you happened, by luck of the schedule, to be playing someone who you happened to have a higher score than.
So, even though you would have lost to more than half of the people that week, you were lucky to win because the luck of the schedule had you playing someone you could beat.
Get it?
You get credit for a tough loss in a week in which your score was higher than that of more than half of the other people in the league, but you happened, by luck of the schedule, to be playing someone who happened to have a higher score than you.
So, even though you would have beaten more than half of the people that week, you were unlucky to lose because the luck of the schedule had you playing someone with a higher score than you.
Well, I know DB and JG get this, anyway.....
So here we go.....
Coulda
Actual Lucky Tough Been
Name Record Wins Losses Record
-
RB 8-4 0 1 9-3
PL 5-7 0 3 8-4
DB 9-3 1 0 8-4
FC 7-5 1 1 7-5
SP 6-6 2* 3 7-5
DJ 4-8 1 4* 7-5
BD 7-5 2 0 5-7
TU 6-6 2 1 5-7
PP 5-7 2 2 5-7
LD 5-7 2 1 4-8
IM 6-6 2 0 4-8
JG 4-8 2 1 3-9* In week 8, both DJ and SP had higher scores than 5 other players, lower scores than 5 others, and tied one. Since SP got a win that week, I called it a lucky win. DJ lost that week, and I called it a tough loss.
DJ was hurt the most. In three of his four tough losses, he beat 9/11, 8/11, and 10/11 of the other players that day.
Other
very brutal losses include:
PL, beating 8/11 others in week 12 and losing
PP, beating 10/11 others in week 2 and losing
SP, beating 8/11 others in week 7 and losing
TU, beating 8/11 others in week 8 and losing
FC, beating 9/11 others in week 4 and losing
Some
very lucky wins include:
BD, beating only 3/11 others in week 4 and winning
PP, beating only 2/11 others in week 11 and winning
JG, beating only 3/11 others in week 9
and week 12, and winning both
LD, beating only 3/11 others in week 8 and winning
SP, beating only 3/11 others in week 11 and winning
BTW, don't think I devoted a million hours to this today. I've been tracking this stuff on a spreadsheet since week 2, when I had my first tough loss.
Anyone wanna see it, PM me with your email address, and I'll send it over. (Like I'm expecting a bunch of PMs now :rolleyes: )

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/30/04 08:40 PM
My feeling is: Everything in this game is about luck. Not only scheduling, but injuries, matchups, bye weeks - all the way down to how your players perform each Sunday. We can sit here all day and think about matchups and scenarios where we are undefeated or winless - but hindsight is 20/20. It's all luck. Why is scheduling any different?
The only thing I would change is that we have a 14 team league next year and an 8 team playoff starting in Week 14. Although the teams we face twice this year was also random, I didn't like the asymmetry of the scheduling.
A 14 team league has all of us facing each other once and we slide right into the playoffs.

I dont think that it is all luck. Granted, luck definetly plays a big part, but setting up a team and making key acquisitions is highly important as well.
And I agree with you in that there should be a 14 team league, but I think only 6 teams should go to the playoffs. Two should have a first round bye. That would be perfect.

C'mon, DB. You disappoint me.
Everything in this game is about luck?
Didn't you and BD do fairly well last year also?
Sure, there is an element of luck - a large one, too, - but skill also plays a part.
That said, all I'm trying to do here is quantify the extent that luck played in our league and how it affected each one of us individually.
Certainly it is evident that JJ was considerably unluckier than everyone else (except maybe for me), and BD was considerably luckier.

Yeah, that's even better. I don't like the fact that players in the bottom half of a 14 team league make it into the playoffs. The trouble is, the "bye" option isn't available on Yahoo's system. The only other option is a 4 team playoff (like we have now) but I'd prefer giving more teams a chance.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/30/04 09:29 PM
Don't misundersatnd me here. I'm certainly not blaming it all on the schedule.
I, too, said there is a great deal of skill involved.
But look at poor JJ:
He scores 83 points in week 9, beats 9 of the 11 other players, but runs into the high scorer for the week, Turi and his 111, and loses.
Then he scores 72 points in week 11, beats 8 out of the 11 other players, but runs into the second high score for the week, JG and his 86, and loses again.
Then last week he scores 92, good enough to beat everyone in the league except the guy he played, SP, who scores 106.
Three weeks, 0-3 after scoring 247 points, but running into three guys who scored 303.
That's the luck factor. Guys were averaging 101 points a week against him.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 11/30/04 09:42 PM
Anyway, maybe Buffy is right. I should play in a points-only league.
All the skill factors are present....drafting, trading, free agents, waivers, who to bench and who to play, and without the huge element of luck involved in who your opponent happens to be every week and what they score, which is the only thing that you have absolutely no control over.

"next season"?
Rookie. Newbie
You know it is completely up to the Commish to establish the league settings and point systems. Are you applying for the job?
One of my three leagues is points-only. Wanna play with us? You DO know that one can STILL lose in that league too. Then what will be your excuse? :p
Guess it is never too early to think about next football season (especially if you are a NINER FAN!!!!!
) As you know, I am not a hoops fan so February can be a very lonely month for me. Luckily it is the shortest month.

Why on earth would you want to play in two leagues in the SAME place with the SAME people?
You'll understand how complicated it can be when you're playing in multiple leagues with multiple league settings with multiple rules with multiple people for different multiples of money.
Hmmm, that's alot of multiples.
Of course you don't see ME complaining about the multiples! :p

You do an awful lot of worrying about what other people here do in fantasy football..... :rolleyes:
DB, JG, SP, Turi, and I have no problem playing the ESPN Salary Cap Game, using different players and a different scoring system.
Maybe we won't play in both a Yahoo head-to-head
and points only league. Maybe we will.
You said that you play in several Yahoo leagues, one of them points-only, but with all different people. What difference does it make if the people are the same or not?
Of course, I appreciate your concern......

Nope. Just you.
Ha! If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black. I'm not the one with spreadsheets on all the other players
:p <--------------------See????
PS: Is fathersson on a sabbatical? Don't think for a moment I am trying to take his place in the ball-busting category. Sometimes it is just too much fun because you are too easy.
I think some of the players will agree with me they have never seen anyone play the game like you!!

My interest in the other players is purely academic. They could be named Moe, Larry, and Curley just as easily as Geoff, Turi, and Buffy.
Nothing personal. Strictly business.
And I take your last remark as a compliment.
I like to win. When I do, I like to analyze and figure out why, so I know what I'm doing right. When I don't, I like to analyze, so I know what I'm doing wrong.
God forbid you should take FS' place :rolleyes: . It was I who started the ball-busting with him.
Poor guy....Wanted so badly to win, but just didn't have what it takes.
And when he couldn't win, he became a bit frustrated, I think. So breaking his balls became too much fun because he was too easy.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 12/02/04 03:38 AM
The worst DB can do is go 9-5.
You can potentially go 10-4, and FC and BD can also potentially go 9-5.
So the worst DB can do is finish in a 3 way tie with FC and DB, in which case you all make the playoffs.
So he's in.
That leaves three spots.
Potentially, you, BD, FC, SP, TU, and IM all can go 8-6.
Except that BD (7-5) plays TU (6-6) next week, so for TU to be alive with a chance at 8-6, he must win.
That's the only game left that involves any of the six of you.
So going into the last week, there could be as many as 6 people with a record of 8-5 or 7-6, and we could wind up with as many as six people finishing at 8-6, or, if BD beats TU, as many as five.
That's not even considering the scenarios in which teams that are now 5-7 can get in. I know there's a scenario where I can finish 7-7 along with FC and TU, in which you, DB, and BD clinch the first 3 spots, and the three of us battle for the fourth spot.
Anyway, it will most likely come down to a few people tied at 8-6, and we'll need the tiebreaker, points scored. And with two games left for everyone, it's impossible to know how that's gonna go.

Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 12/02/04 04:29 PM
In other words RB, there's a possibility that you finish 8-6 along with a slew of other people and it would be up to a tiebreaker to get you into the playoffs.

Congrats FC! Will you continue playing in college?
Week 13 Analysis
DB vs. RB - Current #1 vs. #2, An RB win will clinch a playoff spot; Battle of Minnesota receivers (Moss vs. Robinson)
My prediction: DB
PL vs. SP - SP is currently the team to watch all because of one player; Chicago surprisingly gives Daunte a tough time
My prediction: SP
TU vs. BD - Both players looking to get back on the winning track; Turi possibly jinxed (started losing after he was proclaimed "Team to Watch" by DB)
My prediction: BD
PP vs. FC - Tic toc, tic toc - that's the sound of FC waiting for Priest to heal up; PP one of the hotter teams in the league winning his last 3 in a row
My prediction: FC
JG vs. IM - IM is hurt by injuries; JG looking for his 5th win; 5-Skins doesn't have the same ring to it, does it? :p
My prediction: JG
DJ vs. LD - DJ has been hurt by scheduling; Buffy is hoping for a shootout at Indy
My prediction: LD

And DB thinks I can win with it.
If I mess with it now, I may just reduce it down to "squeaker" status.....

I'm with you on that one Beth. 4th and 26 will be too much to bear. I hear revenge coming.
I personally like your fellas taking on the Bengals. Good divisional game and the Ravens need to pick up their play off race. The Steelers will be watching their backs, though not too much. Ravens are still hurt by injuries but their weak offense is bound to put up points against a team that conceded 48 to the Browns last week. Also the Ravens D will not allow anything like 58 points in their house against the Bengals. They're not the Browns - well they've moved since. :p

I was pretty excited about that! Until I realized he was on my fucking bench!!!!
The "valuable" advice I read:
He's popular in Tennessee, he's a frequent end-zone target of Steve McNair... and yet he drops too many passes for us to be comfortable recommending him at this critical juncture of the fantasy season. He'll get you at least 65 yards and maybe a touchdown, but he'll also break your heart by coming oh-so-close to catching another three or four balls.
and
Not an ideal matchup, but Titans will pass often

True plaw, but IM looks like he'll be shaking things up.
If IM comes back to win against JG this week, there's still a possiblity that three teams can finish at 8-6 for the final two playoff spots.
IM is behind by six points and still has Hasselback and Witten going - I would say he has a very good chance. If JG just had one of his players from his high scoring bench playing, this would have been no contest.
If IM does win - here are the games to watch next week:
PP vs. BD
JG vs. FC
DJ vs. IM
Very strange... The performance of the current 10th - 12th place will determine the last two playoff spots.
Posted By: plawrence
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 12/06/04 04:16 PM
Even assuming that IM wins this week, he'd still probably be more than 100 points behind FC and BD in the tie-breaker.
But, yes. Mathematically he'd still be alive.

What are the advantages of having the best record out of the 4 playoff teams. In other words, what advantages does the lets say #2 team have against the #3 team going into the playoffs?
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 12/06/04 09:03 PM
The advantage of the #1 seed is that you play the #4 seed, who should technically be worse than the #2 and #3 seeds.
A player should be indifferent between being the #2 and #3 seed.
Posted By: plawrence
Re: Yahoo Fantasy Football League 2004-2005 - 12/07/04 11:56 AM
Unless IM wins this week , and BD or FC loses, and IM makes up 184 points on FC if he loses, or 219 points on BD if he loses, the playoff spots are clinched.
Also, this week there were no lucky wins or tough losses, the first time that happened since Week 1.

Week 14 Matchups
Lots of playoff implications... BD and FC have the inside track to the final two playoff spots but IM can sneak in there if (i) IM wins AND (ii)BD and FC both lose OR (iii) if either BD or FC lose, IM beats the loser in a tiebreaker.
Also, playoff positioning is at stake. DB currently has the shortend of the stick with the least points among the top 4 in case of tiebreaker after he limped in Week 13 with only 24 points.
DB vs. TU
PL vs. RB
PP vs. BD
JG vs. FC
DJ vs. IM

If IM wins and BD and FC both lose, IM still has to win the virtually impossible tie breaker against at least one of them.
Unless I'm misunderstanding you, you seem to be saying with your "OR" between (ii) and (iii), that IM is in if BD and FC both lose.

O.K., we're getting down to the wire here folks.
Here's how the MNF football game will affect the standings:
- If Trent Green scores 16 or more points for BD, he will have the #1 overall seed and will face DB in the first round.
This is assuming that Blaylock doesn't score the nearly impossible 49+ or 34+ points to overtake RB and BD, respectively.
DB limps into the playoffs, losing 3 of his last 4 and getting a grand total of 1 point from his QB in the last two weeks.
Other MNF Issues...
- Whoever wins between SP and LD tonight will make it into the consolation round, playing for 5th place.

It now says 58 - 55, BD. I wonder what happened to FC's three points.
If this is the official score, looks like we'll be meeting in the finals Small Daddy! :p
EDIT: The NFL must be deciding if the blocked punt returned for a TD counts as a Defensive TD. Results aren't final yet.

Alert to the League
I wanted to alert the league on the Official Yahoo ruling on the Buffalo Punt Block for a TD. As you will read below, it counts as a TD for the Buffalo Defense because for Yahoo purposes, the return team is considered a defense until the ball crosses the line of scrimmage. Because the punt block (and subsequent recovery for a TD) was behind the line of scrimmage, the Buffalo Defense will get credit for the TD.
Because of this, FC wins his matchup against BD and moves on to the finals. I apologize to BD and FC for any confusion.
Yahoo Ruling on my Email
Hello,
Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Fantasy Sports.
The Buffalo Bills defense has been accurately credited with two touchdowns in Week 15. Scoring is correct on all team and league pages.
The first defensive touchdown was scored on a blocked punt. This touchdown was not reflected on StatTracker after games had been completed on Sunday.
Blocked punt returns for touchdowns are unique scoring situations in that both units are recognized as defensive units for fantasy scoring
purposes.
The kicking team is recognized as a defense because the purpose of that unit is to prevent the advance of the ball by the returning team (except in the case of a fake). The "return" team is recognized as a defense until a successful punt crosses the line of scrimmage.
Week 15 scoring is consistent with the scoring for all other blocked punt returns for touchdowns in 2004.
Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Customer Care.
Regards,
Lloyd

I am really surprised that I made it to the championship without Priest. It sucks that the Falcons are going to sit Vick this week.

3rd Place !!!
This is a travisty - I am going to have to report this to the Fantasy Football Federation the corruption that occured here. If Buffalo returns a punt it is not a defensive score, but if the players on the field on the same play block it than it is a score.
It's a travisty I tell you, I've been bamboozled and hoodwinked - all caused by our commissioner Douchebag. He found a loop hole so he wouldn't have to play me. < In my best Mr. T. voice > You ain't no champion - I pity the fool the fool that calls you Champ. You no champ you a Chump.
A Champion ? You are just a 'Paper' Champion, I'm the real champ, you know it, your family knows it, the world knows it. Commissioner DoucheBag, indeed - should be Commissioner WussBag instead. I'm the true champ - and nobody can take that away from me.
:p
Oh - hope everyone had a Merry Christmas - especially you PL, I know how much you enjoy the Christmas season.

I would have kicked your ass too in the Big Dance, you are having your hmmm 'hands full' with a 'chick' this week. I am the Champion baby - King of the World.
Personally I believe this is all your fault anyway PL. Because you constantly keep Commissioner WussBag in second place in those other sissy fantasy games - he resorted to these tactics just to take a win. It's a sad sad story indeed, I hope those other victories mean something now when you see how they have lead what was once a rightous person down a bad path of evil .....

FC, it looks like it's coming down to your kicker. How about a score of 14-10 Philly, with only 2 extra points! :p
I had my optimal team out there, that's all I can do. I don't know if it will hold up, but it's been fun.

5'9" doesn't sound so bad now. I thought you might have been taller being a reciever. 145lbs for 6', for example, would be anorexic.

You're right, 5'9 is short for a WR. Our other starting WR was 6'2. But I have good speed (4.6 in the 40) and I have good hands.

My football coach wrote an email to the Penn State football office for me today. I told him that I'd like to be a ball boy or something next year. I think it'd be cool to be on the sidelines during the games.

What does it take to get into field goal range? Do you have to gain a certain amount of yardage from your initial possession?

Beth all "fieldgoal range" means is that they are close enough to the goal line that their kicker can make a fieldgoal. "Usually" around the 30.

So say a team has a good punt return and they get good yardage. But they only make say 2 first downs, but they're on the 40 yard line and they think that's in their kicker's range then they can go for it?

yeah, they can kick a fieldgoal whenever they want. All fieldgoal range is is what is probable for the kicker to make.
If you ever see a game tied with about a minute to go the first thing they say is they need to get in fieldgoal range. now for Team A that has a great kicker that might be the 35 yard line. For Team B that has a weak kicker that might be the 25 yard line. But they can try a fieldgoal whenever they want.

Ok, that makes sense. In that regards I don't see why people say the kicker isn't that important. Having a great kicker can make all the difference in close games.

Kickers are very important. It's just kickers like Vanderjact (Colts) aren't well liked becuase they run their mouth off and they play a position WITH NO CONTACT.
Kickers should be seen and not heard

I guess that's the one good thing The Ravens have. Our offense is horrible, but you can always count on Matt Stover. But then again, you have to be able to get him into field goal range.

What were we saying about kickers being important!
These overtime games are killing me.

You gotta feel bad for the Jets kicker right now. He had 2 chances to win the game and missed it. If they lose this game he's not going to be mr popularity in the locker room lol

Yes last nights game was a tense one, I wish we lost, I don't want to go through that again with either the Colts (who look unstoppable) or the Pats.
To be fair to Doug Brian, Heinz Field isn't the easiest of places to come to when it comes to field goals. Especially the scoreboard end, it's very open and so that favours us. That's the whole point of homefield advantage.

I got another pin yesterday at 145 lb. This one took me 5
minutes and 47
seconds .
I've been on a hot streak lately, but that will end this week. This week we have matches against two great teams. I'm going to be trying just not to get pinned myself. On Wednesday, we go against the #5 ranked team in the state. Then on Saturday, we face the #16 ranked team in the
country (they are #2 in the state). Both of these teams are in the same league as us.
My team is actually pretty decent. There are 10 teams in our league, and we are the third best, behind those two juggernauts. Our basketball team is really good, they are in 1st in the league. But we suck in football. We finished ninth.

Well, as expected, I lost on Wednesday. But I did manage to keep it respectable (7-3). As for the team score, we got killed, 58-15, but hey, they're ranked #5 in the state. My individual record is now 13-6.
Tomorrow we face the #16 team in the country, which might be postponed because of the snow.
(If no cares about my wrestling, I'll stop posting about it, so someone respond to let me know that I should still give updates)

Keep it up Freddie, I'm listening and I think a few others are too.
So that 7-3 score, you wrestle 10 times the winner is the one with the most pins?

Nah, Turi's just trying to ruin his image by acting like a nice guy. I doubt if he's
really interested.
Anyway, who's gonna read this stuff here?
This is Fantasy Football. Why don't you start a separate thread? Then everyone can insult you instead of just me. :p
And Turi, if I'm not mistaken I believe that in amateur wrestling they get points for applying various holds, etc., during the match. If a 7-3 score indicated 7 "pins" to 3, these poor guys might be wrestling for hours.

I've always been a nice guy
That point system makes a lot more sense actually.
