2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 08/21/08 02:37 PM
Douche Bigelow: Welcome sports fans as we welcome you live from the GangsterBB Fantasy Football Arena. I'm Douche Bigelow and with me is my co-commissioner, JG.
JG: Thanks DB. I have one question for you. Are you ready for some football??!! Let me repeat that! Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!!
Douche Bigelow: I know I am. This is the sixth year we've had this league on the GBB and as always, this league is by invitation only where the GBB's best of the best of the best will match their wits and skills as they battle towards the GangsterBB Bowl. Our defending champion, DMC, is ready and willing to defend his GBB Bowl Ring.
JG: To keep everything nice and simple, we'll be using the same scoring system as last year. We'll be back with further details (league settings, scoring, etc...) but all I can say is it's going to be a blast!
Douche Bigelow: And now here's a look at our teams:
Blibble - BL
Day Dreaming - JD
Douche Bigelow - DB
Gridiron Goombah - GO
He Hate Me - FC
JL - JL
NJ Giants - JG
Pigeons - KL
Salford Steelers - TU
The Finest Kind - DJ
The Longneck Eels - LN
Yao's China Buffet - BB
Yogis Devils - YO
DMC - DM
Care to give any thoughts, JG?
JG: Well, DMC is our defending champ and he's always tough. Goombah and DB are previous winners as well and they always seem to have good teams. BL is trying to prove that he can play more than baseball and LN is trying to see if he can break DB's record for the largest number of transactions in one season. Overall, the field looks great!
Douche Bigelow: Thanks JG. And now a word from our sponsors...

TEAM 1
Peyton Manning
(Ind - QB)
Marvin Harrison
(Ind - WR)
Santana Moss
(Was - WR)
Devin Hester
(Chi - WR)
LaDainian Tomlinson
(SD - RB)
Ricky Williams
(Mia - RB)
Dallas Clark
(Ind - TE)
Edgerrin James
(Ari - RB)
Patrick Crayton
(Dal - WR)
DeAngelo Williams
(Car - RB)
Dustin Keller
(NYJ - TE)
Kurt Warner
(Ari - QB)
Mason Crosby
(GB - K)
Indianapolis
(Ind - DEF)
Carolina
(Car - DEF)
TEAM 2
QB
Eli Manning
(NYG - QB)
Marvin Harrison
(Ind - WR)
Devin Hester
(Chi - WR)
Patrick Crayton
(Dal - WR)
Marion Barber
(Dal - RB)
Ricky Williams
(Mia - RB)
Dallas Clark
(Ind - TE)
David Akers
(Phi - K)
Indianapolis
(Ind - DEF)
Anthony Gonzalez
(Ind - WR)
Willie Parker
(Pit - RB)
Reggie Wayne
(Ind - WR)
Kevin Smith
(Det - RB)
Philip Rivers
(SD - QB)
DeAngelo Williams
(Car - RB)
Smith and Wayne are pending a trade. I get them for Larry Johnson and Wes Welker. I feel it is worth it to get Wayne. Johnson is a question mark and Kevin Smith may end up being worth more. If not, I have the depth to cover it.
I'm trying to trade DeAngelo Williams for a WR. I will end up trading him or dropping him for a WR to cover the week 4 bye. I have the whole Indy receiving corps. Harrison, Wayne, Gonzo, Clark.

If Leinart is going to have any type of career, it's going to be outside of Arizona. He looked absolutely awful this weekend.

The Bears having two quarterbacks is a bit stretching it. They have two guys who have the capability of throwing the ball... sometimes.

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 08/26/08 07:41 PM
The Bears have two QBs in title only. I'd rather have Matt Leinhart throwing right-handed than Orton and Grossman.
DS - are Chicago fans angry at management's decision to not obtain a QB in the offseason? Is that Lovie Smith's call or do they have a GM?
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 08/26/08 08:01 PM
The Bears have an awful GM named Jerry Angelo. Lovie's just followed the company line re: Grossman. Angelo was the spin-doctor of the Chris Williams debacle. Chris Williams was the Bears first round pick this year (10th pick). It turns out that the guy has had a disc problem since college and he re-hurt the disc during the 2nd day of camp. He recently had season-ending surgery. Anyway, Angelo kept spinning a tale about how this was a new injury, so it wouldn't seem like he just drafted badly.

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 08/29/08 12:57 PM
J Geoff:
Here are some injured fantasy players:
Chad Johnson - shoulder
Jamal Lewis - hammy
Derek Anderson - concussion
Ronnie Brown - recovering from ACL last yr
Peyton Manning - offseason knee surgery (just practiced for 1st time Wed)
I know there are plenty more, but these came to mind quickly.

Posted By: Longneck
Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 08/31/08 06:40 AM
12 Team Custom League. 2 QB starters, 3 WR, 3 RB, 1 TE, 1 TE/WR, 3 WR/RB starters. Scoring is a bit different, points per reception, passing attempt (BS!) and whatnot.
I have Chris Perry (because it's a deep fucking league and I kept up with the training camp news) and I have been offered a trade.
Chris Perry for Santana Moss.
This is only a good trade if Perry is a bust and/or gets injured and Moss stays healthy. Perry could end up scoring twice what Moss does if he stays healthy and scores some TD's and catches a lot of passes. My problem is Perry has never finished a full season AND has only scored 2 touchdowns in his career. So that vs Rudi Johnson's '05 and '06 productivity.
Thoughts?

I need every edge I can get! I finished 13th! last year. Did well with Addai and Harrison in the lineup until Harrison got injured and Addai's performance went downhill. Started off 4-2 and finished with
7 straight losses! I've never seen a team tank so horribly.

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 09/01/08 05:39 PM
Chris Perry (Cin - RB)
Michael Bush (Oak - RB)
for
Santana Moss (Was - WR)
Dominic Rhodes (Ind - RB)
Rhodes should get me 600-700 points, Moss about 1000 in this crazy league. Perry might be goof for 1700 on his own, but he might get injured like he has every single season thus far as well.

My bench is very rookie-heavy... What was I thinking??
I'm going to need good production out of Garrard this year. Overall though, I'm pretty happy with my draft.

- I think someone said during the draft you were drunk.
BTW, we REALLY, REALLY appreciated you having your "draft box" open yesterday although you weren't actually on drafting. We had to wait for the entire 90 seconds each time your turn came up, so it made our draft roughly 30 minutes longer than it needed to be.
As a penalty, you automatically get deducted 20 points in Week 6.

I was very drunk last night. After work I went straight out drinking. Found my umberella in a bar I left it in a week ago. Managed to lose it yet again. Came home for draft (11pm). Tried to draft, didn't have a clue what I was doing. Went to bed with one leg still in my jeans. Forgot to set my alarm clock (because I needed to be up for work - although I still woke up on time).
- I think someone said during the draft you were drunk.
BTW, we REALLY, REALLY appreciated you having your "draft box" open yesterday although you weren't actually on drafting. We had to wait for the entire 90 seconds each time your turn came up, so it made our draft roughly 30 minutes longer than it needed to be.
As a penalty, you automatically get deducted 20 points in Week 6.
I am genuinly sorry about all that. I tried my best and I tried chatting as well but I couldn't get anything to work.

Maybe a 3rd rounder.
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 09/03/08 07:56 PM
Rules and Regs... Same as previous years Trade Policy - Trades will stay pending for 48 hours. In other words, you better get people to accept your trade by 1 PM Eastern on a Friday if you want to play your new players for the 1 PM Eastern Sunday game.
I will only overturn trades in 2 scenarios:
1 - I am somehow convinced that an accident occurred in an accepted trade.
2 - If a trade is seriously, I mean seriously, out of whack - e.g. Peyton Manning for Kyle Orton. Usually, there's collusion if a trade like this goes down.
Rules on Non-Playing Teams for the Head-to-Head League - Hopefully, we won't have to resort to this since the H-2-H League was by-invite-only and I trust you guys to play the entire year, but if we ever come to a situation like in previous years when some guys just stop playing to the detriment of the league, I wanted to lay out my rules on it.
Plainly put, it's 2 Strikes and You're Out. Strikes are simple. If in any particular week, you play a player that:
- is on a bye week
- or is clearly not playing and listed as "Out" or "NA" or "IR"
- or you leave any roster positions empty
... you get a strike for that week. If a strike occurs, I will inform the league each Tuesday when I post the scores.
In my opinion, those are the only things that should count as strikes. I am not here to legislate strategy so if you want to play a "Doubtful" DeShaun Foster, go ahead. If you choose not to help yourself through Free Agency, that's your choice. But if you play a player that is clearly not playing, then you're hurting the competitive balance of the league and in the words of Vito, "that, I do not forgive."
Just to be clear, even if you have multiple infractions in the same week (e.g. you have one player on bye, one player on IR, etc...), that still counts as only one strike. Strikes are for weeks, not for individual instances in any particular week.
What happens after you get a second strike? You're out. You will be locked from making any more changes to your team. Control of the team will be shifted to me (da Commish) and I will set the "best possible" team based on Yahoo's projections. The locked team will not be able to make any trades and can only make free agent acquisitions if the team is in dire need of filling roster spots (* subject to the Commissioner's discretion). If the locked team is playing me in any particular week, I will step aside and JG will decide on the locked team's line-up.
There is one way to erase a strike though. If you decide to leave a roster spot open because you believe there were no viable replacements in your line-up or on Free Agency and you can convince me of that by PM or through the boards, then I will erase the strike against you.
As always, I am always willing to listen to any suggestions to better the game. If you have any comments or questions, please let me know.

Fair value??? The #25 RB for the #1 TE?? He may not be worth a 1st Rd pick, but why would I trade him to you a day after I drafted him, for a guy you drafted in a later round?? And FWIW, Jones' average draft spot was the 8th round. Gates' average draft spot was the 3rd. I'm not a rookie at this.

In my book RB's are worth more than TE's, Where people were drafted makes about as much difference in fantasy football as it does real football. Their value is what I based trades on.

No it means it means you reached for player a in the 4th round, that probably should have went in the 8th round.
RB's are worth more than TE's. The #25 RB is not worth more than the #1 TE. Jones probably isn't even going to play every down. It's looks like he's going to split time with Leon Washington.

Posted By: Just Lou
Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 09/04/08 12:43 AM
If you trade 1 for 2, you have to drop someone so you don't go over the roster limit. I don't know exactly how many days the commish has set for clearing waivers. Usually 2 or 3.

After the trade clears they go to waivers usually for 2 days until the person highest on the list claims them or they become free agents.

I was reading Bill Simmons when I read that he hoped that Chad Ocho Cinco gets traded to another team that had an established #85.
(Speaking of names, here's my goal for the Chad Ocho Cinco era: The Bengals trade him to a team that already has an established No. 85. Ocho Cinco keeps offering the guy money for his jersey. The guy keeps saying no. Eventually a bitter Ocho Cinco has to either offer him like $500,000, or wear Ocho Seis or Ocho Quatro for the season. Please, Lord, let this happen.)

EDIT 2: If I get Westbrook I need to spend picks 19 and 22 also on RBs but with Addai I can be more flexible and probably get WR-WR, or WR-RB.

Trade PendingJL trades:
Terrell Owens (Dal - WR)
Matt Schaub (Hou - QB)
DB trades:
Jerricho Cotchery (NYJ - WR)
Brandon Jacobs (NYG - RB)
First trade ever (in any game) between JL and DB, I think. I think the trade works well for both sides... Cotchery seems to have great chemistry with Favre and Jacobs shores up JL's RB situation. Plus JL gets rid of a Dallas Cowboy.
I dislike TO as well, but it's business, not personal and TO is a fantasy football stud. I'm relying on my RB-depth to make up for the loss of Jacobs and I now have two high quality QB's (I hope) to switch around.
Frankly, I'm at risk of losing more in this deal than gaining, but what's the fun in playing it safe.
Posted By: Just Lou
Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 09/08/08 06:22 PM
I think it's fair, and definitely upgrades both teams. I give up one of the top receivers, and above average QB, but in return get back an 1,100 yard receiver, and Jacobs who had 1,000 yards in just 11 games last year. My RB position went from a position of weakness, to a position of strength.
(Also, having a "Jet" on my team is slightly less painful than having a Cowboy or Eagle.)

Aw, you shoulda offered him to me for Thomas Jones...

Jacobs who had 1,000 yards in just 11 games last year. My RB position went from a position of weakness, to a position of strength.
Too bad Bradshaw and Ward are going to cut into his carries more this year...but Jacobs could make a good Flex player.

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 09/08/08 07:14 PM
No more than last year when Droughns and Ward were getting carries before Bradshaw. This year, Jacobs will be the goal-line back replacing Droughns, making him more valuable if he stays healthy. Jacobs doesn't need 30 carries a game. He averages 5 yards a carry. BTW, it appears for now that Ward has replaced Bradshaw as #2. Bradshaw didn't even get a carry in week 1.

It's been done since last year. Losman got hurt, and lost the job to Edwards, who actually shows poise in the pocket and can throw the ball accurately. Also, Bill Walsh said he's going to be "one of the greats."
As long as he's competent, I'll be happy. Drew Bledsoe circa 2002 would be fabulous. Jim Kelly? ZOMG.

I'm not 100% sure but I figured the postponement of the game would cause earlier bye weeks for those two teams. That means you probably shouldn't have started players from that game (much like you wouldn't start players who are on bye week).

Did any of you guys see the bone-headed play one of the Eagles receivers made last night on MNF? DeSean Jackson seemingly scored a TD when he scored on a long bomb from McNabb. The trouble came when right before he crossed the goal line, Jackson celebrated a little bit too early and flipped the ball behind him (thinking he had already crossed). Initially ruled a TD, the call was reversed upon review and the Eagles got the ball on the one yard line (it would have been a fumble and change of possession had any Cowboy picked up the ball). Brian Westbrook eventually scored.
Luckily, it didn't affect any of our teams (I have Jackson and Blibble still won against Goombah, who has Westbrook).
I can't say the same about these other leagues.
Jackson's antics cost many fantasy owners

They took away a Roethlisberger sack and gave him a catch instead.
PITTSBURGH (AP)—Cleveland had another small setback on Thursday when the Elias Sports Bureau took away a Browns sack and gave Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger a pass reception from Pittsburgh’s 10-6 win Sunday night.
The sack was originally credited to the Browns’ Shaun Smith. The play was ruled a sack for a 7-yard loss. After reviewing the videotape, Elias changed the play to a successful pass for Roethlisberger because the ball came out of his hand, struck a teammate in the back and rebounded to the quarterback, who was tackled by Smith.
The ruling takes away one of the Browns’ three sacks and changes Roethlisberger’s passing statistics from 12-of-19 to 13-of-20 for 176 yards. It also lowers his NFL-leading passer rating from 136.3 to 133.9.
The Browns (0-2) travel to Baltimore and play the Ravens on Sunday.

Yes. I so wish I could have 6 RB's on my roster. 3 of which are backup's.
.
Have fun during the bye weeks with 1 kicker, 1 Defense, 1 TE, and 3 backup RB's.
Posted By: Longneck
Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 09/19/08 09:19 PM
With 3 starting RBs, 2 RB starting spots....and WR depth...I think I'll be just fine. There's plenty of Kickers, Defenses, and TE's to fill in for a week.
Those 3 backups: 2 have 8 more points than Larry Johnson (your starter) - each. 1 has the same amount of points.

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 09/20/08 01:56 AM
haha that was good JL.
LN, I don't think it's really fair to compare a RB to a TE. If you made that trade then JL would probably
lose points because whoever he put in the TE spot to replace Gates would score less points than the new RB would gain. Gates is more valuable at his position because there are so few reliable TE's.

Actually It would be
+10 in week 1
-7 in week 2 (+3 if you start Jones instead of THE BEAST)
Jones + Donald Lee - Gates - sub
This subs Jones for Deuce in week 1 and Moose in week 2.
so far he'd have +3 points.

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 09/22/08 07:13 PM
Or Penny?
I've secured a backup TE and handcuffed Edge to his Goaline carrier in exchange for Ocho Cinco and Fred Jackson.
I have enough WR depth to get away with it and it helps my RB situation, which was so
horrible as JL pointed out.
Now that I've traded him I expect Ocho Cinco to fully burst out of his slump and produce 20 points a week. (See Chris Johnson).
I need 30 points from Rivers, Chambers, and Jones. Very doable, but it could also go wrong.

Right now if my math is correct its 4 points sproles needs to tie me.
Hightower is the fullback (I believe) on the Cardinals and Carlson is ummmmmm no idea.
I'm not trying to be a dick but the more I think about it that trade really is lopsided. I won't push the issue but its arguably a top 5 receiver for 2 scrubs.

I was watching Stattracker, and I was down 4 points, with less than a minute to go. I shut the computer down thinking I lost. I watched the final couple of plays. Cotchery makes a catch for a good gain, then Clemens throws an INT. I'm like "whoa". That should be at least 5 points. I log back in and I'm now up by
1. Now I have to hope no scoring changes overnight.

Hightower is the Goal line back for the Cards. Carlson is the Seahawks receiving TE.
This trade allows me to handcuff Edge to his TD Vulture and gives me a backup TE for a slumping WR.

I also have Owen Daniels at TE, so it's not a problem. I'll have to decide between Wayne, Braylon Edwards, Larry Fitzgerald, and Calvin Johnson every week though. RBs will be Addai, Edge, Felix Jones, Jamal Lewis, and Chris Perry. I have Rivers and Warner as my QBs. I think I'll win this league.

Commissioner's Note
This is a general note to everybody - please keep your line-ups active. I'm not talking about the late Sunday inactive which you may not have caught, because you were out Sunday morning. That's OK with me. I'm talking about the open spots due to bye week players or players who were ruled inactive much earlier in the week. If any of you forsee problems setting up your line-up, please let me know and I'll see how I can help you out.
Posted By: Double-J
Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 09/30/08 03:41 PM
Believe me, I have a hard enough time deciding who to put in each week. I watch them like a hawk.
Just as an aside - we won't (hypothetically) get penalized for playing a Questionable player out of necessity, and they ended up not playing, would we?
Posted By: Blibbleblabble
Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 09/30/08 04:05 PM
JG played Coles who was Questionable and he scored 36 points. It could go either way so I don't see why anyone should be penalized for that.

Just as an aside - we won't (hypothetically) get penalized for playing a Questionable player out of necessity, and they ended up not playing, would we?
No, I don't penalize people for taking a gamble on questionable players. It's your choice. What gets me are spots that aren't filled when they should have been.
I posted it before (and it's long) but here are my rules on "inactive" teams.
Rules on Non-Playing Teams for the Head-to-Head League - Hopefully, we won't have to resort to this since the H-2-H League was by-invite-only and I trust you guys to play the entire year, but if we ever come to a situation like in previous years when some guys just stop playing to the detriment of the league, I wanted to lay out my rules on it.
Plainly put, it's 2 Strikes and You're Out. Strikes are simple. If in any particular week, you play a player that:
- is on a bye week
- or is clearly not playing and listed as "Out" or "NA" or "IR"
- or you leave any roster positions empty
... you get a strike for that week. If a strike occurs, I will inform the league each Tuesday when I post the scores.
In my opinion, those are the only things that should count as strikes. I am not here to legislate strategy so if you want to play a "Doubtful" DeShaun Foster, go ahead. If you choose not to help yourself through Free Agency, that's your choice. But if you play a player that is clearly not playing, then you're hurting the competitive balance of the league and in the words of Vito, "that, I do not forgive."
Just to be clear, even if you have multiple infractions in the same week (e.g. you have one player on bye, one player on IR, etc...), that still counts as only one strike. Strikes are for weeks, not for individual instances in any particular week.
What happens after you get a second strike? You're out. You will be locked from making any more changes to your team. Control of the team will be shifted to me (da Commish) and I will set the "best possible" team based on Yahoo's projections. The locked team will not be able to make any trades and can only make free agent acquisitions if the team is in dire need of filling roster spots (* subject to the Commissioner's discretion). If the locked team is playing me in any particular week, I will step aside and JG will decide on the locked team's line-up.
There is one way to erase a strike though. If you decide to leave a roster spot open because you believe there were no viable replacements in your line-up or on Free Agency and you can convince me of that by PM or through the boards, then I will erase the strike against you.

You missed 0-3 by 1 point.
You still don't have RBs, LJ might do good against teams like Denver or Atlanta or the Colts with horrible run defenses but put him against someone like Minnesota and I don't see him doing well. His O-Line isn't the same one that made him and Holmes fantasy beasts a few years ago.
Brandon Jacobs shares time with Bradshaw and Ward. Deuce McCallister has Reggie Bush and Piere (I know I spelled that wrong) Thomas in the backfield with him.
They are all capable of huge weeks, but not very good for consistency.

I've been completely tortured all week about which bad QB to go with this, Orton or Griese. I eventually decided to go with Griese because of Denver's 31st pass defense rank. So Orton gives me 29 points on the bench which is triple any of my single day scores for QB's this year.
Come on Griese... make me proud... (How pathetic is that)

The Texans are one of the best teams in the league when it comes to running the ball.

He's got 105 more points than you in 4 weeks....

You're ahead 94-85
Blib's down 89-119
If the week ended right NOW, you'd be on top... by yourself.
With 7 teams tied for 2nd. (LN is
not one of those teams

*Putting my Plaw Cap on*
He could use Running Backs? The top 10 fantasy points leaders are as follows:
QB's: 7
WR's: 2
RB's: 1
And who is that RB? Reggie Bush (get it RB for Running back and Reggie Bush) but the problem is that Bush is actually more of a WR
The first RB doesn't show up until position 14...

Upset fantasy football player arrested for allegedly threatening to kill roommate
By Charlotte Sun-Herald reports
Originally published 04:12 p.m., September 29, 2008
Updated 04:12 p.m., September 29, 2008
PUNTA GORDA — A 35-year-old man was arrested Monday morning after he allegedly became upset over points in his Fantasy Football league and threatened to kill his roommate.
According to a report from the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office, Chester Marcial "Chet" Ward, of the 4500 block of Duncan Road in Punta Gorda, allegedly sliced pages in the book his roommate was reading before holding a knife to his roommate's neck and threatening to kill him.
The report stated the roommate, who "was in fear of his life," went to a neighbor's home and called 911.
When deputies arrived, Ward admitted to being upset over points from his fantasy football league and that he asked his roommate to move out of the residence. Because the roommate was ignoring him, Ward told the deputies that he pulled out his knife and cut the book as a joke.
While Ward said he never threatened to kill his roommate, authorities arrested him on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The report stated Ward resisted arrest and even struck an officer's hands before running across Duncan Road to escape arrest. As he ran away from the residence, Ward was Tasered by another deputy, and was then handcuffed.
Additional charges of battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence were added to Ward's arrest. He is being held without bond at the Charlotte County Jail.

"Is that why you took a kicker in the 10th round?"
Ummmmmm didn't I leave that draft after the 9th round? THANK YOU. I'm so good I don't even need to draft all the rounds
And yes AP is good for 13 points. Although I'm facing him in my money league where he needs to stay below 40. So he'll have a 20 point day, God Willing.
And Blibble, about taunting the whole league, well, I don't see one team as standing out as real competition so I figure I'll start a problem with all of you that way it keeps it interesting.
I'm just joking, I really don't think that all of you suck. (I know.)

Of course, I'd rather have had a few people get zeros and get 40 points from 4 players and win...

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 10/07/08 05:27 PM
Woo hoo, my first win.
Thanks to Geoff who helped me out immensly whilst I was out of the country and unable to select my picks. I entrusted him with my log on to sort my team out and he was a star for helping - he even sorted my picks for my pick 'em league.
Thank you thank you thank you.
It was my own fault for leaving the country early Tuesday morning and not selecting my picks for the week.
Posted By: J Geoff
Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 10/07/08 05:42 PM
You're welcome, Turi. And to be clear to everyone, my only criterion for making his picks was using Yahoo's Projected Stats for Week 5, and using the players with the highest numbers. There were no judgment calls made. And as for his pick'm picks, I picked the same teams that the majority of Yahoo users picked, according to the Pick Distribution chart for Week 5. (How'd you do with that, anyway?)
Posted By: Turi Giuliano
Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 10/07/08 06:35 PM
8 out of 14 - not great but still a hell of a lot better than making no picks at all.
Just also to be clear to everyone as well; I was out on my hols in Spain, loving the sun, the pool, the villa, in a remote area in the hills. I went there to get away, shut out the world, read, have fun with my mates etc. etc.
And then it occurred to me on Saturday that I hadn't made my picks for my fantasy teams and I started to panic. Then I thought: "yes my phone, it has internet access". I was so glad I took it (only really took it to take pictures - and then only took 3).
But no, I was foiled again. I could access NFL.com but alas no yahoo or even the BB to let you guys know. But JG the little trooper is one of my facebook mates. I could access facebook and through many backwards and forwards messaging we worked out my log on and password (it turns out I have 2 yahoo profiles - one doesn't have any fantasy games on it - which confused the hell out of us both.
Anyway it all worked out, but the week I play JG, if I lose it'll be down to him hacking my team.

Question Commish. I know we have these rules about playing a full team and all that but can I play AP on his bye week and my reason being that the team I'm playing sucks so much I don't need a full team? Would I still get a strike?

At least I'm 5-0 in my money league. The guy actually called me today because I haven't mailed the check yet...I don't see the point of wasting the .42, I told him just take it out of my first place prize check...

Good news about the Colts being 2-2 and behind the Titans is that come playoff time Addai won't be on the bench. But then again neither will Yao's Reggie Wayne.
Who is Yao anyway?

I'd like to know what injury report you're looking at...Keller is a 3rd string TE.
The one that says Tony Scheffler (Denver) is out.
3rd String?
Dustin Keller: 6 Catches, 84 yards, 2 TDs
Chris Baker: 6 Catches, 69 yards, 0 TDs
Bubba Franks: 6 Catches, 47 yards, 0 TDs
Most reception yards, and the only TE with TD catches. Pretty good for a third stringer to be leading those categories on your team.
He's been in for 12 plays, (Franks in for 8, Baker in for 7). How is a 3rd stringer playing more than the first and second string players?
Not to mention the Jets are playing Cincinnati...

Thanks for the update.
I recounted and I have everything right on my sheet, just counted wrong earlier.
I would have more if Keller's TD catch wasn't called back because of a penalty flag and if Addai actually played the fucking game.
Colts are like the Pats with their injuries. They don't tell you a thing. Had I known about Addai's hamstring issues I wouldn't have played him. Of course it wouldn't have done me any good to play Edge instead seeing as he was pretty useless.

I'm guessing Manning will throw for 210 yards with 2 tds and an int. Toomer will catch 5 passes for 50 yards, and Jacobs will rush for 110 yds. and a TD. I don't know where that will leave the result.

I was a little worried when Addai got injured and zero points and Keller got zero. Roy Williams stunk again and Colston was a late scratch after all week hearing he'd play... Phillip Rivers really came through for me this week. Ironic that Rivers helped me beat the team with Eli.
Right now I'm just happy to come away with a win, the gloating will come later.

Yeah. They took 3 points away from my RB McClain, and gave 3 points to the Colts' defense. They must have given McClain a fumble or something since they played the Colts.

Okay, nothing personal against your opponents, but:
Week 1 you beat YO, who's currently in 12th place, 108-82
Week 2 you beat TU, who's currently in 13th place, 119-84
Week 3 you lost to FC, who's currently in 8th place, 92-110
Week 4 you beat BB, which was impressive, but barely: 107-105
Week 5 you beat DM, who's currently in 6th place. Not bad, 106-98
Week 6 you got creamed by KL, who's currently in 5th place, 123-164
So... for the first 3 weeks your two wins -- and loss -- were against weak teams, and you never broke 120 pts. Somehow you beat BB (highest-scoring and 1st Place team in the league), but obviously that was a problem on his end as he only scored 105 pts. Then you beat DMC, who's on a cold streak, but you still didn't score much. Then finally when you do score 120+ points in a week, you lose -- and badly.
Try playing a good team on a good week and let's see what happens. Hint: That'll be Week 10.

Don't be so bitter. If you want a points league, you should have made one. This is what happens in head-to-head leagues.
And the only reason I was "creamed" by Klydon was because he had two wideouts with massive games and an RB with a massive game, all abnormally high scores, while my best wideouts had bye weeks. Overall, outside of the QB production and Stallworth, I'd say the rest of the team did quite well.
I'm not complaining, it happens...my point is that having the most points overall is not necessarily who wins a head-to-head league. Again, if you wanted a points league, why don't/didn't you make one?
Anyways, rather than continue this Special Olympics-quality debate, I'll go back to my relative obscurity now. Thanks.

His team may not be racking up points like BB, but he has been consistent in his scoring. 108, 119, 92, 107, 106 and 123. With the exception of that one 92 point week you have to score at least 106 to hope beating him.
Consistency.I am in third place and have the same record as DJ and have only 22 more total points but my scores are also consistent. 102, 133, 112, 107, 112 and 111. I know they may not be big blowouts, but they are good enough to win. That's what is so fun about head-to-head leagues.
Last year the best player all season lost the final game. Funny how that happened in real life too.

It's been like that since last year. I figure if an individual player is talented/lucky enough to get a return TD, he should get credit for it. DEF/ST with return TDs count as well.

Head-to-head is more fun I think - gets the smack talk going, despite some people being hypersensitive when it's directed at them.
But it's also good in that even mediocre teams have a shot with a little luck.

Not to mention that going by points would be ridiculous. Imagine an NFL where the team with the most points at the end of the season wins the title. This way is better.
Your star RB gets injured (Addai for example), use your depth to overcome the injuries. My top WR has been out all season. Last week my top 2 WRs and TE were out but I was still able to come out with a win when 5 people thought I'd lose compared to the 1 who thought I'd win (meeeeeeeeeee). The matchups is what makes this game great. When you can overcome injuries and still win that's awesome too.
I am looking over last year's results. Turns out I am 2-0 against Lou now
. I started last year 4-2 (one of those losses by 1 point). Then I lost the last 7 games. That was horrible.

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 10/19/08 04:22 AM
There is probably a better way to show these stats but this is what I came up with. The numbers by your name on the left show your luck. The higher the '+' the luckier you are, all the way down to the unluckiest at the bottom with a '-'. It shows where you are ranked as opposed to where you
would be ranked with amount of points scored. So if you are in 5th place with a +2 on the luck meter then you
should be in 7th place because you are two positions higher than you should be based on your total points scored. "0" means you are exactly where you should be.
Luck Meter
+5 DJ
+4 BL
+1 YO
0 BB
0 JG
0 DB
0 LN
0 JD
-1 KL
-1 GO
-1 TU
-2 JL
-2 FC
-3 DM
So as you can see, DJ has been the luckiest winner and DM is the unluckiest so far through 6 weeks.

How did your Colts do?

Enjoy those 2 wins for the Raiders, they might not get any more!
Fucking refs ruined the Colts game. There was even a Reggie Wayne catch they said was incomplete when he CLEARLY caught the ball. No idea why Dungy didn't challenge.

And fuck Colston and Keller.

They sure didn't help. Pass interference calls were not called against the Colts and drives stalled because of it, not to mention the obvious catch that was incomplete.
Refs frustrate Peyton, he throws 2 INTs for TDs...
I know I posted this before but can everyone take a look at

I always hate that if a player gets 9 yards he gets nothing.
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 10/21/08 10:03 PM
Fractional points are allowed under Yahoo. I personally don't like fractional points so I disabled it. In the end, I think it's a wash (i.e. it usually doesn't affect the outcome of the matchup).
Oh because YOU don't like it that means it gets thrown away?
I know what you are saying but I was looking and there was a tie this year, and also I just think that with 8 players sometimes it can effect the outcome.
I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass or anything, I was just curious.

You're probably right. I'll take the win, but that's 2 weeks in a row my team has stunk, and scored about 50 points below my projected score.

I've been to only one NFL game -- the Giants -- must've been like 25 years ago. Great seats right on the 50 yard line, maybe a dozen rows back, and we even ate in the Stadium Club I think (my dad knew the NJ Senate president, who we went with
). Just don't ask me who they played or who won.
It's fun to see sporting events live (I've been to a few MLB (Yanks, Cubs, Phils, Orioles) and NBA (Nets, w/ Plaw) games as well), but I agree that watching them on TV gives you the best view, replays, stats, etc -- and it's less effort and cheaper.
But I love going to minor league baseball games!

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 10/22/08 05:35 PM
I agree. I usually go to one NFL game a year, a Steelers game in December, and I go just to bring my sons. I was never at a postseason NFL game. And I'm happy just watching it on tv, especially now with the HD big screens. There is an excitement being there, but for the most part, I'd rather skip the driving and crowds.

I can't talk trash when my RBs are going against Carolina, Baltimore, and Tennessee and I have Vernon Davis at TE. Not to mention Atwaan Randle El is one of my top scorers.
My WR position needs help. I'm not sure what's worse, Roy Williams with Orvlasky throwing to him or Roy Williams learning a new offense with Brad Johnson throwing to him. Colston comes back and does absolutely nothing. Chambers gets injured about when Colston comes back...
But at least I don't have Santonio Holmes (pot), Larry Johnson (chokes women), and Deuce McCallister (failed drug test) on the same team.

Not sure how it works, the only problems I've ever heard about was Edge saying he wasn't going to Japan for a preseason game in 2005 (he went).
If there's one thing I've learned its that Laws don't apply to athletes
I would think LEGALLY all they would have to do is notify the courts and get permission. I think its illegal for criminals to leave the country unknowingly.

How do you import the rosters?
I used the term improperly, all I did was create 4 teams, then go to "edit rosters" and you just search for the players. It actually doesn't take that long. It took me maybe 10 minutes to do my team, yours and Klydon's I believe, whoever I'm facing next week.

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 10/27/08 03:17 PM
I was wrong... From Yahoo:
How does scoring for blocked kicks work?
Blocked kicks are counted only in instances where a kick (FG, PAT, or punt) is touched by the defense and remains behind the original line of scrimmage.
If a FG or PAT is touched by the defense, but goes beyond the line of scrimmage, it is counted as a missed FG or PAT only.
Similarly, if a punt is touched by the defense, but goes beyond the line of scrimmage, the punter is credited with a punt of that yardage.
For example, Jason Baker has a punt touched by a Miami defender. The punt then goes 6 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. This would constitute a 6-yard punt, with no blocked kick awarded to the Miami defense.
** Please note that most recaps will refer to any tipping or deflection of a kick with the word "block." Therefore, there may be differences between the written accounts and fantasy scoring.
Thats why you're the commish, greatly appreciated

I feel sorry for DMC, going against Dominic Rhodes and Indy D must be tough with only a 20 point lead and Tenn D left.

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 10/27/08 07:11 PM
Because of "double-up" opportunities with Manning and Harrison, I think Turi has the best chance of all the matchups to have a MNF comeback. TEN D is tough though.
When he thinks he has a chance then the trash talking starts up again lol

Rhodes scoring TDs would have the same effect since he has Tennessee D.

Colts are like the Pats with injury news. They tell you as little as they can. Colts are also very cautious with players so if he is cleared to play he should be able to really go. You might check his status on Sunday, it also depends on who else you could start in his place.
The key to beating the Pats is the running game, we've always lost against them when Peyton tries to do it himself.

Thanks. As of now, it sounds like Manning might be w/o Reggie Wayne.
My other options are Ryan Grant, Chris Johnson, & Brandon Jacobs. I'm starting the latter two, but I worry about Grant against the tough Tennessee defense. I might not have a choice though.

Thanks, Blibble. I wish my fantasy team that I play for $$ outside the BB was doing as well. I had Kyle Orton going yesterday, who got hurt early. The rest of my players, beyond Brandon Jacobs, just sucked.
That was a painful loss for your Raiders yesterday. The Browns had a game like that in '04 where they had something like 19 total yards of offense. Is Russell developing at all or are his teammates keeping him down?

That was before the TD. Now he's up to +5 pts which puts me at 93 pts. At least Little Ben can't throw an interception from the locker room.
...but watch, he'll come back out and get me more negative points!

Either that or Lynch needs to score 70 points.

I'm looking to get in on this Sports action. I'm in the yahoo leauge with some college buddies. It's a 16 member leauge, so there's not a lot of good players to go around, but I'm happy with my picks. Here they are:
QB: Matt Cassel (had Brady, so, eh)
BN: Pennington
WR: Calvin Johnson
WR: Laveranues Coles
WR: Eddie Royal
BN: Amani Toomer
BN: Reggie Brown
RB: Jamal Lewis
RB: Kevin Smith
BN: Ricky Williams
TE: John Carlson
BN: Dustin Keller
K: Ryan Longwell

It's not the best team, and I know I'd be much better off with Brady, but we'll see. 16 team leauges suck.

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 11/17/08 05:42 AM
Maybe next season you can play with us here. I mentioned to you that I benched Cassel and I was going to go with Pennington, but instead started Shaun Hill at the last minute and it all worked out. I have Orton as well. I've had a ton of QB problems so I figured why not scoop up as many mediocre ones as possible
I started with Derek Anderson and Jeff Garcia as my backup.
Kevin Smith has been a nice steady surprise hasn't he? Especially now that he is getting the bulk of the carries. I have him as well.

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 11/17/08 06:08 AM
MJD has scored 5 TD's and 133 yards since I traded for him.
Hightower and Edge: 63 yards 0 TD's.
Worked out pretty well for me so far.
Addai and Ryan Grant finally seem to be performing well again.

I'm in a 12 team league with: Rosters are pretty damn deep. Somehow I am 8-2 in this league. Probably 8-3 after this week. But I have a playoff spot locked up already...

Just create a system where you get rewarded for dropped passes and Edwards will lead you to victory.
I concur - he does suck. I've hated him since the day the Browns drafted him. I remember on draft day he looked like some kind of pimp in a purple suit, standing next to Tagliabue. Edwards is cocky, immature, and worst of all: he went to the University of Michigan. I predict that Edwards will not be on the Browns roster after 2008.

Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 11/25/08 02:53 PM
Last week of the regular season next week. BL has locked up one of the bye week spots and JG, by virtue of his points scored nearly has the other one locked up as well.
Two more teams have clinched playoff spots - DB and DM. If KL wins next week, he's in no matter what anybody else does. It'll be tough however - KL will be playing BL who has won seven in a row. BB and FC are next in line for the final spot if they get some help from BL. DJ has a very small outside chance if he gets some help from BL and he scores 300+ points next week.

It looks like Klydon is going to get that final spot in the playoffs. I'm pretty sure the Minnesota defense isn't going to score 58+ points.
I can't believe BB is going to miss the playoffs with as many points as he scored. No matter what formula you come up with for luck, he was the unluckiest this year.

Not really. My team sucked beacuse I had absolutely no defense, and Eli isn't a stud fantasy QB. Not because I needed another RB.

Just as a reminder, the consolation playoffs is run bracket-style, with no re-jiggering of seeds even when there are upsets.
In the second round, the winner of 7-14 will face the winner of 10-11, while the winner of 8-13 will face 9-12. If the current scores hold, Turi will face Yogi in the battle of the Brits while Longneck will battle FC.

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 12/09/08 05:32 AM

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 12/09/08 06:51 AM
What happens if it adjusts and it's a tie? Does Goombah still win because he defeated Klyd in the regular season matchup?
How are ties during the playoffs broken?In the event that a playoff game ends in a tie, the deadlock is broken using the following system:
- Most touchdowns scored by entire starting roster. [7 for GO, 3 for KL]
- Most fantasy points by starting quarterback(s).
- Most fantasy points by starting defensive team(s).
- Most fantasy points by starting defensive player(s).
- Most fantasy points by starting defensive back(s).
- Most fantasy points by starting defensive linemen.
- Most fantasy points by starting wide receiver(s).
- Most fantasy points by starting running back(s).
- Most fantasy points by starting tight end(s).
- Most fantasy points by starting kicker(s).
Notes:
- When breaking a tie in a playoff game, the only statistics used are from that specific game. Cumulative season stats are not considered.
- All touchdowns scored by the team (passing, rushing, receiving, returns, and defensive) are counted in the playoff tiebreaker. This includes TDs scored by individual offensive players, defensive teams, and individual defensive players (if used).
- Regular-season head-to-head results are not factored into playoff tiebreakers.
- Only the touchdown categories used in your league are used to settle ties. If no touchdown categories exist within your league, the tie is settled by quarterback points (assuming the QB position exists).

Congratulations, goombah. The better man won.
I was all set to enter the playoffs in my money league, but was knocked out by a couple of points because Antonio Bryant had 200 receiving yards with 2 tds.
This just wasn't my year.

Whether I win or lose today, I think Antonio Bryant has to be one of the best free agent pickups this year. I picked him up on a bye week to replace Boldin's injury, and he's been awesome since.
Posted By: J Geoff
Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 12/14/08 07:34 PM
Looks like I'll be regretting starting Seneca Wallace (0 pts at half) versus Big Ben (plays later). And perhaps replacing Gore with Tatum Bell (plays later) rather than DeShaun Foster (8 pts at half) and dropping Mason Crosby (7 pts at half) to play Matt Bryant (1 pt at half).

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 12/14/08 07:56 PM
That's how I felt swapping out Cassel for Orton. I wasn't sure if Cassel was going to play because his father died, but if he plays he'll probably score 40 points.

I'll breathe a sigh of relief in the morning when the points are official. I'm worried about Minnesota's defense points changing. I don't think it will change 13 points, but I noticed on stattracker it says "8 pts. allowed" but Arizona scored 14

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 12/15/08 05:00 PM
My hats off to you, BL. You were the #1 seed for a reason - your team was able to overcome a poor outing from Orton and you still put up a buck thirty nine. Amazing.
Surprisingly, we came close to our Yahoo projected points.
I thought I might have been able to pull off a Goombah and have a stirring late game comeback with one of my better WRs but TO is no Steve Smith. I was unable to overcome poor outings from my kicker and my RBs. From all the fantasy games we play here on the GBB, this is my "baby" - the one I most want to win (and the one that I think is hardest to win) - so this is going to sting for a little bit.
Good luck next week!
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 12/15/08 05:05 PM
As for the other games, I think both GBB Bowl matchups will be nail-biters. 36 points + Philly D is tough to overcome, but with the way Westbrook has been playing, who knows. I have no feeling where the KL-DM matchup will go, so it should be exciting. In the consolation playoffs, the leads are relatively more safe, so it looks like a Yogi vs. LN matchup for 7th place. Both teams have come a long way from the start of the season.

My hats off to you, BL. You were the #1 seed for a reason - your team was able to overcome a poor outing from Orton and you still put up a buck thirty nine. Amazing.
Surprisingly, we came close to our Yahoo projected points.
I thought I might have been able to pull off a Goombah and have a stirring late game comeback with one of my better WRs but TO is no Steve Smith. I was unable to overcome poor outings from my kicker and my RBs. From all the fantasy games we play here on the GBB, this is my "baby" - the one I most want to win (and the one that I think is hardest to win) - so this is going to sting for a little bit.
Good luck next week!
Thanks DB. Like I said in the Boxing Thread, if I were Mexican, good looking and could hold a tune you would have beat me. It's a good thing I'm not any of those

There was no thread for 2003 but here was the finals by seed going into the playoffs:
2004: #3 vs. #4
2005: #3 vs. #5
2006: #3 vs. #4

This will be the first year that a #1 seed makes it. Surprising.

I wish I could have won like this during the season!
I have won/have the lead at the moment and should hang on in every game this week, 2 playoffs and 3 consolation.
I have a 600 point lead over a friend of mine who has Westbrook and Lewis to play. The scoring is crazy but as long as they don't get 600 yards rushing I should be okay. Crazy thing is my roster compared to his...

But on the other hand, not so good for Goombah, who had his WR Anthony Gonzalez (7) vs his own Jax Defense (0!)... Edge to DB, vs a usually formidable foe!
I'll be out of town early Friday 'til mid/late Saturday, but will try to keep an eye on things. Good luck, everyone! And get your sorry asses into the College Bowl game before 11am Saturday!

If this was a keeper league, that would make some sense, but since this is a "new" league each year, I think random makes more sense. I am starting to come around to the idea of making next year's football league a keeper one.
Any thoughts?

Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 12/20/08 03:45 AM
What happens if a person or two doesn't want to play in the second year of the keeper league? How is that handled? Also, how many players would we be allowed to keep from year to year?
Keeper Leagues always interest me, but I think I prefer the "new" league each year. Although, if you wanted to do both I would.
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: 2008 Yahoo Fantasy Football League - 12/20/08 07:00 PM
That's the problem with doing the keeper format in the GBB league - we can't guarantee that the same group of guys play from year to year (although we're pretty consistent).
I'd have to think of how to format the league - I've never been in one, that's why I find it intriguing.

Thanks JG, you were a scary matchup with the way you put up big numbers consistently all year. But in the end, I think I actually won the
Anti-Jinx™ battle. Don't feel bad though, I learned from the best.
If I hadn't picked the Texans to beat the Raiders in the "ESPN Streak for the CA$H" thread then the Raiders defense would have let Andre Johnson have a huge day and I probably would have lost! Thanks JG! I finally understand the
Anti-Jinx™! And the Raiders, for the first time all season, came through for me!
JG: Well, DMC is our defending champ and he's always tough. Goombah and DB are previous winners as well and they always seem to have good teams.
BL is trying to prove that he can play more than baseball and LN is trying to see if he can break DB's record for the largest number of transactions in one season. Overall, the field looks great!
Did I prove it?
Does anybody have any early honest opinions on which teams look good to begin the season?
I think your team might be better than you think.
I'm a genius!
I never thought I would say this, but yes Logneck, you are a genius.
And thanks everyone else

Thanks to everyone for playing this year. It was another successful, competitive league and I appreciate everyone playing for the entire year.
Congrats to LN for winning the consolation bowl. You are now the proud owner of 7th place!
Seriously though, your RBs finally started playing up to their potential in Weeks 14 through 16 and your team would have been pretty scary had it made it to the playoffs.
Yogi, you had a great playoff run as well so congrats on that!
KL and DM, congrats on making the playoffs. DM is always tough in fantasy football (our only repeat champion) and KL - your team had a great run as well.
Goombah, we had an awful 3rd place game, but it was exciting through the end. Enjoy the Cavs!
JG - after all your cursing, jinxing, and anti-jinxing, I'm sure you're pretty happy with the season, if not the result. Your team was great - it beat me handily in Week 1 and you never looked back. If you didn't run into a buzz-saw named BL, you would have taken the thing. Great job.
BL - your team was awesome from the start and you did a great job managing it. You had a key pick-up in Cassell and your RBs were strong pretty much the entire year. You deserved the championship. BL's a fantasy force around these parts.
Thanks again everyone. Same time, same place next year.

And speaking of "Dutch" Bigelow, my stepson and his friends always ask if I'm beating him because he was in first place for most of the '07 baseball season, so they know he's good, but more importantly he has the most memorable name. My stepson and two of his friends were checking out my team and when they saw his name originally one of them shook his head and said "Douche Bigelow? Kids these days"
He was 13.

We should make this a money league, I'll run it. $25 per person, 16 people.
I'll win $400, I guarandamntee it

How about $250 1st, $100 2nd, and $50 3rd (or to the House -- me lol)?
I actually like that breakdown, but it would be easier if you all just sent the money to me:
IMA Scheister
123 Fake Street
Ripoffsville, NJ 000001
Seriously though, its easier to send the money to me, or at least 10 of you send the money to me, that way we save on shipping costs, if there's money involved I'll win...one way, or another.

I knew it... JG sets up a website. Lulls us into his confidence for the last 10 or 11 years (has it been that long? I go back to the red font, black background days
), and then sets up a fake money league to take us for $400.
I'm onto you.
Damn me and my too many numbered zip codes, I almost had yas too.
You know what the sad part is DB, the first time I read what you said it actually sounds like something JG would do
