2006 Yahoo! Fantasy Football

Tick Tock....

Time is near!

[SH0CK]

Just split this off from last year's post and bumping so we can get things rolling.

Who's game for this year?

[rocky95]

I'm in. Just tell me when the draft is.

I'll go easy on y'all this year.

[doctor_al]

Sounds good.

[Jer]

Are we ditching that this year? Created a lot of smack last year... :)

[doctor_al]

Let's get this set up somewhere. What was it last time, yahoo?

[Jer]

Off the subject sort of, but thought this was sooo cool....

In my new job, there is a "wait" to get a team for their FF tournament. When I blurted out in a supervisor/managers meeting, "Why the heck is there a wait for FF" The catch is, its drafted... In Vegas... At Jillians... 15 guys pile in the company van and stay DT and draft.

HOLY SH*T!!!!

I've been doing this all wrong.

[blackjack]

Vegas for the draft.... hmmmm..... I will have to propose this in my other two leagues. I'm sure that'll go over real well with the wives :rolleyes: .

I agree on the T2V league - let's git 'er done. The monkey wants some payback!!

[Smarra17]

Just get it set up and I am ready to take first place this year. :wink2:

Sammi

[NICU8697]

Fantasy football is my second favorite addiction. If this is a "first come, first serve" thing then count me in! If it's by invitation only then I'll gladly slip someone a $20 for the invite.

Of course it'd only be Fantasy Money. :D

[Wildcat Fan]

I'm game. Of course, it would be a whole lot funner to all meet in Vegas.

Let me know something!

[mistermoe]

I'm in!

Moe

[doctor_al]

OK, I've set up the "T2V Gridiron Club" (swank name, eh?) on Yahoo fantasy sports:
http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/

Go to "Accept invitation" (Join Custom)

league#: 565590 (you'll need this)
password: bigelvis

If you want to join, you're officially invited. It's set up like last year (I think, scoring at least). If you have any comments/suggestions let me know, I can change a bunch of things, including # of teams, currently set to 12.

!IMPORTANT! We need to hash out a draft method. The "live draft" time slots are all gone except 8am-3pm midweek. I don't particularly like the autodraft option, so I selected "offline draft", which means we do it ourselves and then I manually set up the teams. This lets bribery into the equation, which I think is not all bad. ;) But seriously, I thought we could just designate a time and do it over chat, (do we still have a chat feature here??) or on the board.

So - Discuss amongst yourselves -- I'll give you a couple topics -- how to do the draft, and when?

[SH0CK]

(do we still have a chat feature here??) or on the board.Yep, we do http://www.travel2vegas.com/chat.html

I'm in :beer:

[rocky95]

I'm a 2nd shift worker 3:30PM-12:00AM EDT. So, the best for me would be weekends or 10AM-2PM. I registered my team, but if the majority overrules me I will be more than willing to give up my spot for someone that could use it.

[sanonofresurfer]

It seems I was looking at LAST YEARS fantasy football league, since I was over seas.
I drunk dialed Al for a reason...and couldn't remember why....Sorry Al....but I wanted to play this year. So count me in. I suck at the game, so I'll be the whipping post.

By the way...since I suck at this FF thing...can we do an automated draft? Just askin'......

[doctor_al]

In the automated draft, you'd still have to set it up with a ranked list of players, and the order you want to select which position. If you have that, you could work off that live just as well. Automated draft cuts out a prime opportunity for smack. However, continue to discuss, lets see what the consensus is.

BTW, thanks Sh0ck for finding the chat thing. Works better on Internet Exposer than on Firefox in my brief testing...

So far we've got:
Sh0ck - TN Moonshiners
vegasJer - Its been bought...
Rocky95 - Ohio Brewers
ffemt33 - Blakes Team
NICU - Evildoers
(and the commish - Fremont Ramblers)

Larry, Sammi, hop to it.

[ffemt33]

I'm in too

[NICU8697]

The Evildoers are locked and loaded. OK mostly just loaded but hey, it's Friday! I'm ok with an offline draft. That autodraft always seems to screw up my team, like drafting 2 QB's in the first 4 rounds. Let me know what, when and where and I'm all for it. I work for my rich uncle (Sam) so any time is good for me.

[blackjack]

Autodraft worked well for me last year. Of course I ranked all my picks before hand. It is set up to fill the primary spots first without overloading one position. Like I said, it worked well for me last year. That being said, I'd rather do an online or offline draft. The problem with offline as I see it is there is no auto pick backup so if you can't make the draft time then you're out of luck.

Of course, I could put together a team of non-drafted players and still beat Terry. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/ronv/img34.gif

[IllMarty]

I haven't been in one of these in almost 20 years, but I'll give it a whirl.

Hef's Robes are in da house! :rolleyes:

[doctor_al]

The problem with offline as I see it is there is no auto pick backup so if you can't make the draft time then you're out of luck.

Personally, I thought some of the autopickers got hosed last year, but point taken, we either need a workaround for the over-scheduled (could just send me your autodraft list) -- or we do the autodraft.

[Smarra17]

I am in now we just need Terry with his All Raiders all the time team and we will be set...

Calling LV Terry! Terry where are you???

[blackjack]

(could just send me your autodraft list)

That works for me. Hopefully I can make whatever time is decided upon but at least I know that I have an option.

[doctor_al]

We're at ten teams, and I've locked it up for now until I hear from a couple folks who have expressed interest (or had it expressed for them).

[doctor_al]

Update: I've got two votes for the auto draft. If you haven't already expressed an opinion (autodraft vs live draft) please do so. Right now I'm thinking that live draft would probably be a Sat afternoon thing.

Update2: I looked back through this thread, Wildcat and MisterMoe and anyone else that is still interested in joining but hasn't received a PM from me - get in contact with me somehow.

[mistermoe]

I do want in, but if it is full, that's cool!
I would have to auto draft--I teach school 7:30:am-3:15pm.

Moe

[Jer]

I like live drafts... But, I dont know when I can commit as well... So, figure it out and I'll go with the flow...:)

[mateymatt]

Auto draft is fine for me also.

[LV Terry]

I am in now we just need Terry with his All Raiders all the time team and we will be set...


And with the first pick in the 2006 Draft, Raider Nation selects... wait for it.... Aaron Brooks! D'OOHHHH!!!!!!

[NICU8697]

I just got done ranking my top 185 so fire when ready. Any idea when the auto-draft will go down?

[doctor_al]

I'd like all the new team signups to be done by this Wednesday night.

Then the Autodraft setups need to be complete by this Sunday night, 10pm. According to Yahoo, results come out "within 72 hrs". Which may/may not leave a whole lot of time (couple days) to set lineups before the Thursday night game next week.

[Smarra17]

Crap I better start ranking my players...

Sammi

[sanonofresurfer]

Okay...I'm in. Don't expect much. If nothing else, you'll have a new whipping boy, so Terry can get a break.:Þ

[doctor_al]

Alright! we've got the Thirteenth Warrior.

Need one more entry and we're set!

[Thekiller]

I'm the Fourteenth. Game on.

[doctor_al]

Outstanding! Later in the week I'll check up on folks as far as completing the draft lists. I can push the "go" button at any time, so if we're ready early, we can get the lottery out of the way and get to setting opening lineups.

BTW, draft order, as far as I can tell, is randomly determined after I hit the go button.

[NICU8697]

Just posted this to the Yahoo board but I'll post it here too. I know that when you do a live draft, the owners that aren't present have their teams autopicked by Yahoo from their pre-ranked list. So if we set it up as a Live draft then those of us who can make it can pick our teams and those that can't will just have an autodraft.

[Jer]

Would be cool... But anyways, I ranked nothing. I'm leaving my faith with Yahoo...:confused:

[blackjack]

I ranked nothing. I'm leaving my faith with Yahoo...:confused:

Hey Jer - I'll rank your players for you...

"And with the first pick in the first round, It's Been Brought selects Jeff George QB Oakland Raiders." :kill:

[Jer]

Dude, if you leak secrets, people will steal them....:Þ

[LV Terry]

"And with the first pick in the first round, It's Been Brought selects Jeff George QB Oakland Raiders." :kill:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

pssst.... Jer... I'll give you Manning and Thomlinson for George.....

[Jer]

Only if you throw in that tough Raider D and you would have deal...:nworthy:

But ... you have to reserve a time/date for a live draft thru yahoo, and the only times left when I created the league were 8am-3pm M-Fri.

The other options were all-autodraft, or offline (do it yourself, post rosters when you're done), and of those two, it looks like all-autodraft works for the most.

What I was saying is that if you just book one of those times between 8am and 3pm during a weekday then those that can make it to the live draft can select their team and those that can't will just have the autodraft done from their list.

Plus some teams could do both live and autodraft. If the draft was, say, at 11am on a Thursday, I might be able to run home from work and log into Yahoo to make some picks on my lunch break. But I can't access the live draft feature from my work computer (thank God T2V is still ok) so when I'd have to leave, whatever rounds were left would be autodrafted from my Pre-Ranked list.

Just an idea, I'm certainly down with mob rule.

I hear ya, NICU, but I'm not particularly keen on setting up a live draft that I myself can't attend.

[Jer]

I'm down with whatever... Yahoo better gimme some love!!!!

[NICU8697]

I hear ya, NICU, but I'm not particularly keen on setting up a live draft that I myself can't attend.

That's a pretty good point. I wouldn't either. :-) So then we let the 0's and 1's decide! I've always been a believer that the crown is won, or as is usually my case, lost on the waiver wire anyway. I usually get the guys that wind up either incapacitated or incarcerated.

-- Jeremy

[Jer]

incapacitated or incarcerated.

I think I found my new team name...

[blackjack]

I think I found my new team name...

"And with their second pick in the 2006 draft, It's Been Brought selects Chris Henry WR Cincinnati Bengals." :popcorn

Where's the commitment?! You call yourself Commissioner?!!

What good were all those years of school and working to become The Man, if you can't use your powers for Evil?!

[doctor_al]

What good were all those years of school and working to become The Man, if you can't use your powers for Evil?!

I've only worked my way up as far as Unnamed Junior Henchman, still a long way from being Easily Identifiable Named Henchman, much less the Evil Overlord himself. But at least I'm not Undifferentiated Guard/Extra anymore.

[Coaster Kikky]

But at least I'm not Undifferentiated Guard/Extra anymore.

Why did the Star Trek theme just come into my head?

[doctor_al]

Why did the Star Trek theme just come into my head?

Because you don't watch enough Bond movies.
:wink2:

[sanonofresurfer]

If Terrry's going with the all-Raider team again this year, then I'm going with the all Chargers team....that way I know I won't be dead last!:poke:

[doctor_al]

I'll draft all Packers if Ron drafts all Browns.

[Smarra17]

:wink2: Just as long as I get the Giants...I am from NY you know...:Þ

[blackjack]

I'll draft all Packers if Ron drafts all Browns.

I'd say yes, but I'd hate to see Terry finish ahead of you. :poke:

BTW - When it comes to fantasy football, I'm not from Cleveland. :ssst:

[LV Terry]

I'm not from Cleveland. :ssst:

huh. probably the first time That's ever been said! :wave:

[sanonofresurfer]

Since we went to an automatic draft, why are we waiting so late to push the button. Lets get the show on the road, so we can start trading and Terry and I can start building our "Home team" teams.

Now...who's gonna gimme me LT?:poke:

[doctor_al]

I'll give you Ryan Leaf ... if I can find him.

[blackjack]

My list is set....

Doc - I'll give you Mo for Leaf.

[blackjack]

The new BK commercial is awesome:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNQBQyNzNsM

[Jer]

Just because a team makes a mistake and picks a bum QB in the first round doesn't mean you can bag on the guy... I mean c'mon, we can't all draft Todd Marinovich now can we?:wink2:

I think that should have gone on the football board... :ssst:

[sanonofresurfer]

[QUOTE=Vegas Jer;173167]... I mean c'mon, we can't all draft Todd Marinovich now can we?:wink2:

Or as I like to call him, Todd Marajuanavich.:wiggle:

[LV Terry]

I'll give you Ryan Leaf ... if I can find him.


If they can dig up Jeff Freakin George, they can find Cryin' Ryan.

p.s. marinovich was the bomb.

[Jer]

Yep, he was... kinda like Cade McKnown....

[blackjack]

Yep, he was... kinda like Cade McKnown....

At least he went 12th overall. In that same draft the Browns took Tim Couch #1 & the Bengals took Akili Smith #3. :kill: Anyone seen them?

Who did they pass up you ask? How 'bout Donovan McNabb, Edgerrin James, Torry Holt, Champ Bailey, and Daunte Culpepper. :bang:

[LV Terry]

Yep, he was... kinda like Cade McKnown....

yer just pissed cause Marinovich was a Trojan.. :poke:

[Jer]

And McKnown was a..... hmmmm....

U-C-L-A????:Þ

Yep, great picks... good times...

[LV Terry]

And McKnown was a..... hmmmm....

U-C-L-A????:Þ

Yep, great picks... good times...

Oh My GOD!! Go to this page: http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Sideline/3835/

click on UCLA in the left sidebar, then scroll down and click the Stats link... I had forgotten how good he really was.

[Jer]

So good I named my first born after him.... Well, not him exactly, but I loved the name...

And there is no way that guy is 6'1.... I saw the Bruins at Disyland(go figure...) and he wasnt that much taller than I am...

[doctor_al]

I had forgotten how good he really was.

Was he the UCLA QB that the Badgers roughed up in the Rose Bowl?

[LV Terry]

Was he the UCLA QB that the Badgers roughed up in the Rose Bowl?

uhm.... if "by roughed up" you mean the Badgers were able to stop a game tying drive as time ran out, then, yeah.... that was the year that the bruins were making the national championship run, and elected to Reschedule the game against Miami because of the Hurricane... they didn't have to, but they added it to the end of the season... if they win, or don't play the game, they go to the championship... instead "some guy" named Edgerin James ran effing wild on them...300yds and a last second winning TD... what a great game.

[doctor_al]

instead "some guy" named Edgerin James ran effing wild on them...
Those same cleat-marked defenders gave up another 250 to some guy named Dayne. And Mr McNown threw 1 TD pass in the 2nd half - to Badger DB Jamar Fletcher.

Yeah, we still appreciate that Terry :D

[SH0CK]

Well, all of the speculation on Jeff George is moot now.
http://www.raiders.com/team/transactions.jsp

What was the point of all that?

And they released Rod "He Hate Me" Smart too.... bastards!

[doctor_al]

Draft's done.

Terry - If you need a replacement for George, Leinarts available. Well, Grossman is too but we don't even joke about such things.

[SH0CK]

Hot damn! I've got a rookie back field. What oh what will I do with Reggie Bush and DeAngelo Williams? ;)

[Jer]

My team is... Average... Thus, I need to change my team name....

Whoever the hell got Larry Johnson at 4 is a lucky SOB...:)

[LV Terry]

Hey Jer,

I'll give you Phillip Rivers for T.O.

[doctor_al]

I'll give you Devery Henderson for TO, just so I can cut him outright.

[blackjack]

Hey Jer,

I'll give you Phillip Rivers for T.O.

Looks like T found a sucker taker...

Note: This trade will be reflected on the lineup for Week 1.

Raider Nation (Players to Trade)
P.Rivers

Surfers On Acid (Players to Trade)
B.Westbrook

A 13th round #180 pick overall for a 2nd round #23 pick overall :confused2: . When asked about this unconventional roster move, Larry replied, "It's all part of my master plan. Smack away if you must...:Þ "

Hey Larry - I hear Sammi is trying to move Domanick Davis. Just sayin'. :poke:

[doctor_al]

Prediction: Larry takes a shot at all the Chargers players.

Prediction 2: This is all part of Terry's master plan to snag Aaron Brooks.

[Jer]

And what a great plan for the rest of us....

:)

[LV Terry]

Prediction 2: This is all part of Terry's master plan to snag Aaron Brooks.

step 1: accumulate enough quality players to make a 5 for 1 trade for Brooks.

[sanonofresurfer]

I just figured my team was TOO good and decided to give you all a chance.

That's the real reason I traded with Terry. I did it for YOU! You're welcome.:wiggle:

[blackjack]

I just figured my team was TOO good and decided to give you all a chance.


That Simms for Barber trade is still available... C'mon Lar - give me a chance!! :wave:

[Jer]

At least you guys have a plan... I'm gonna get blown outta the water in my first week and have to hope I get lucky like last year....

Wait, I guess i do have a plan...:)

[sanonofresurfer]

That Simms for Barber trade is still available... C'mon Lar - give me a chance!! :wave:

Sorry Ron. See, it's like this. I'm decorating my new condo in a nice beach style, with Tiki torches on the balcony...so I think picking up Tiki Barber is a good sign. Plus....I just like the name.:haha:

[blackjack]

OK, Simms for Brooks - then I can deal with Terry. :)

[SH0CK]

Looks like their allowing us the use of GameChannel/Stattracker this week. interesting stuff :thumbsup:

[rocky95]

Looks like their allowing us the use of GameChannel/Stattracker this week. interesting stuff :thumbsup:

Yahoo does this every year. It's a free week. Next week is back to the old wait and see until Monday unless you cough up 9.99. FWIW payed last year and thought it was worth it.

[sanonofresurfer]

I bought it for this year. I think it's a pretty cool deal. I like it.....:wiggle:

[Jer]

Holy crap, I thought I was gonna get crushed this week!:confused:

[SH0CK]

That's why you're the champ Jer... You have the miraculous way of pulling one out of the nether region :confused2:

Now if only I can hold Al off with his remaining tight end and kicker... :Þ

BTW, results and standings will be posted on Tuesday in this thread for those that don't have access.

[Smarra17]

I got my ass kicked by the robe man...not going to be a pretty year I think. Good Job Marty...

:vomit:

[doctor_al]

I'm with Sammi -- I got a bad feeling about this...

Yes, T, that +1 point from Culpepper is looking pretty good now... :rolleyes:

Next time Jake, don't listen to the Chili's before the game. Giveitaway, giveitaway, giveitaway, giveitawaynow

[IllMarty]

I got my ass kicked by the robe man...not going to be a pretty year I think. Good Job Marty...

:vomit:

Thanks Sammi. You still have one RB, but probably not enough to erase a 16 point lead and I still have my kicker.

[blackjack]

Next time Jake, don't listen to the Chili's before the game. Giveitaway, giveitaway, giveitaway, giveitawaynow

I guess I won't bitch about the -1 that Jake D. put up for me. -6...That's hard to do. :kill:

[doctor_al]

I guess I won't bitch about the -1 that Jake D. put up for me. -6...That's hard to do. :kill:

Simms gave it a ride (-4). Between you and me, we had four QBs finish in the red. Marcus Vick would've been a better start - can't throw picks from the street.

:vomit:

[Smarra17]

Bad week in general for me. My picks got slammed, my team got beat and well lets just say its Monday.

Thanks guys! I don't know jack squat about fantasy football, but I need a scorecard to keep track of my friends and the smack they're flinging (particularly if I again receive smack and am asked to relay it to someone else... giving me the occasional title of "Secretary of Smack").

[rocky95]

AT least I'm not dead last. Thanks Carson for not throwing a TD and fumbling losing the two points I had for you. Good game Sanonofresurfer, next time you won't be so lucky.:poke:

ass kickin' The Robes delivered. Woulda busted the 100 mark if I would started Bears at the "skill positions", Doc.:kill:

[NICU8697]

Sorry Terry. Matt Jones got me just enough to squeak out the win. Of course it all evens out because in a cash league I'm in I needed Willie Parker to get either 100+ or a TD. Ouch!

[IllMarty]

Geez, if you look at the matchup, The Robes are a 1 point undie to ...Raider Nation? How does it feel to be the fav, Ter? Enjoy it, cause your beloved Raiders won't be a fav all year.:evillaugh

I hope the Raven defense can keep giving me 20+ points every week. :rolleyes:

[LV Terry]

Geez, if you look at the matchup, The Robes are a 1 point undie to ...Raider Nation?

A 2-0 team is a 1 point dog to an 0-2 team?!

3 words: Lay. The. Points.


update: the line has moved.... replaced R.Moss, who is off, with some other stiff, and got a two point bump... awwww Yeah.

Peyton Manning you say? Pbbbbbbttttt... I counter you with... Dante Culpepper.... shit.

[IllMarty]

I'd play my second string QB but he has more points than PM after 2 games. :rolleyes:

[doctor_al]

Rex outplaying Peyton - Another sign of the apocolypse.

[sanonofresurfer]

That you guys have the coolest fantasy football league. Nice and mellow...

I joined my brother-in-law's fantasy football league because they needed another player. I already figured my $50 was a donation, and I told them all that I didn't know what I was doing since this year is the first year I've ever played Fantasy Football.

I lost the first week...and got lucky and won last week. Instead of smack talk, it's starting to get personnal. I'm *this* close to telling them all to go F**K off. A little competition is good, but c'mon...lighten up. I feel sorry for these people's kids when they get old enough to play sports.

Anyway, my team is so torn apart because I'm trying to figure out this whole draft/drop/add/waiver/points thing...In fact, I don't think I have a chance in hell of winning another game. But I'm learning..

Anyway...Instead of getting mad, jumping through the internet and ripping out someone's eye-ball and then skull-F******g them, I thought I would come rant here.

Thank you, and I'm sure my winning streak will end this week.:thumbsup:

[SH0CK]

...ripping out someone's eye-ball and then skull-F******g them...Damn, I DON'T wanna party with YOU cowboy! :evillaugh

[sanonofresurfer]

Damn, I DON'T wanna party with YOU cowboy! :evillaugh

Awww, C'Mon. I Luuuuvvvvv Yoooouuuuu. Come give cowboy a hug. Wait! Don't run away. I mean it in a good way.....

Damn Cowboy haters......

48 points on the bench this week. OMFG! :kill:

And the Robes are covering the competition.

[sanonofresurfer]

Well, I lost this week, but I can't complain. I was rooting for NO the whole time, so when my two Falcons players put up a grand total of 3 points...I don't feel too bad about it.:thumbsup:

[rocky95]

Thank God I finally won one. :thumbsup:

[doctor_al]

Woohoo! - I picked the right QB and got + points from that position for once.

Looking at the standings, I'm thinking it wasn't the best year to name your team "Raider Nation".

[Jer]

Darn happy to get the 31 points I got... Nice week Doc...:thumbsup:

[Smarra17]

4th place for the "girl" come on now boys where is that kitchen talk now???

Biatches...

That is all.

[Thekiller]

I hate to see a woman cry, so I let you win. :Þ

Why does a bride wear white? So the dishwasher matches the fridge!!! Ha Ha

uummm, I think I whupped ya pretty good there, Sammy! Go scrub the floor and make me some dinner. Who's your DADDY? THAT IS ALL!:kill:

At least you can shut me up the last week of the season when we have a rematch.:rolleyes:

[blackjack]

Why would you drop Alexander if he is only expected to miss 1-2 weeks? :confused2:

I still have Simms & he is spleenless :blink: . Of course, had I been lucky enough to be #1 on the waiver wire this week... Stupid waiver wire.

[doctor_al]

Nice. I'd like to think somebody had the brass to just put blood in the water just to watch the sharks circle, but I suspect somebody just overreacted to the broken foot story.

[doctor_al]

Hef's Robes are in danger from a team that only started 7 of 9 players...

[RossW]

killer,

LMAO!!

That is pure poetry....fabulous...thanks for the laughs...

I'll run *that* by the bride, and so what type of reaction ensues....:evillaugh

[IllMarty]

Hef's Robes are in danger from a team that only started 7 of 9 players...

Yea that sucks. He only has 4 receivers and 3 were in bye mode, and I still might lose. McNabb has to be crappy tonite or throw 4 TDs, all to Reggie Brown. :rolleyes:

Paging Raider Nation, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

[NICU8697]

Only one undefeated team left. Who could it be? :poke:

Thosse Evildoers are damn cheaters!

Bye the way, can someone loan me a Tight End this week-end?

[DonD]

can someone loan me a Tight End this week-end?
You big silly.

[mistermoe]

Considering the fact I have little idea of what I am doing, i'll take 2-2 for now.
Can't play football in a robe anyways...not that there is anything wrong with that.

Edit to add:
They didn't have the official standings updated as of yet, so I changed the graphic to reflect wins/losses. The positions (1,2,3,4..etc.) may not be correct.

[sanonofresurfer]

Stupid monkeys are tougher than I thought. It's down to the wire. I came back from WAY down to tie it up....now I just need Dener to stop Jordan, AND the Bears defense to slack off enough to let Johnson score. I gotta get out of this downward spiral.....Holy carp!

[doctor_al]

Jake Plummer, meet bench. Bench, meet Jake Plummer.

Go Chicago D.

[IllMarty]

Yea Al, should be fun tonite. You rooting for the Bears D to score all the points and hoping Grossman gets injured. :rolleyes: Ya bastage!

Well the Bears D did score lots of points AND Grossman played LIKE he was injured.

[doctor_al]

Grossman injured would've been bad. I needed him on the field playing catch with the Cards secondary. ;)

Urlacher had a heck of a game. According to Norm, the night before, "... Chicago Bears All-Pro middle linebacker Brian Urlacher, dining at Fix (Bellagio)." Next time, he should take his QB along.

[blackjack]

Next time, he should take his QB along.

I think Grossman owes the entire Def/ST dinner. I gotta give credit to the Cards coaches for some genius play calling. Nothing like trying to run the clock out with 30+ minutes left to play. :rolleyes2:

You got that right Ron, especially when the pass was working so well early. Stick with the girl that brung ya, dumbass!

[blackjack]

The pass was working early & late. Settling for the field goal before the half when you could've put a fork in them was bad enough, but to stop your final drive at a 40 yard attempt when there was still a minute left was just stupid. Even if Rackers makes it, there was still time for da Bears to move the ball. Funny, Green never mentioned that in his rant. :nono:

[doctor_al]

Stupid to settle on the long FG, absolutely. That one isn't on Rackers, IMO. Yeah, he should be able to make that, but it's not high percentage and they didn't really try for the first and a better shot at the FG.

But a minute being enough time for the Bears offense to go the length of the field?? Not Rex, not that day. They'd have a better chance intentionally throwing a long pick and seeing if the D had another TD in them.

LOL - The D would have a better chance, but Rex would not have to go the length. Get a decent return and they would only need 30-35 yards to get in Gould's range. Who knows, get a real good return and Gould might be kicking an extra point again.

[NICU8697]

So which is worse? Raider Nation or the Raiders themselves?

[doctor_al]

The Raider D hasn't looked so bad, at least lately. The Raider O on the other hand... :vomit:

Sapp is a monster this year... I'm at a loss for words after that...

[Jer]

This has nothing to do with this league, since only the top 4 go....

I really need Steve Smith and LJ Smith to score tonight... I can squeeze 23 points outta them both, I get the high for the week and my entry will be paid for going into the playoffs...

So, GO SMITH!!!!

[blackjack]

This has nothing to do with this league, since only the top 4 go....


Something we need to fix perhaps...

[doctor_al]

What, you want to turn this into some sort of NHL-like traveshamockery??

I kid of course. Any comments at all on how it shoulda been done this year I can compile for next year, because we will have forgotten by next Aug.

[Jer]

I think 14 teams and 8 spots is a match made in heaven. I just wished I would have looked at it sooner. It keeps it lively, and gives the under dawg a chance to get the title...

So, thats my vote... And its not because I'm hovering around 8th...:)

That's exactly my problem with it.

He breaks late, everybody knows this.

:wink2:

[Thekiller]

Actually the playoffs involve 8 teams. On the playoff page just to the right of the word championship is "consolation". On that page it lists brackets for teams 5 thru 8. Although this is for fifth place honors at best, you're still in the game. :thumbsup:

[Jer]

Yeah, I love playing for .... 5th place...

I think Wayne Cambell said it best... "Hi, I'm in .... Delaware..."

[blackjack]

I think 14 teams and 8 spots is a match made in heaven.

Yea... What he said.

Playing for fifth place?? :rolleyes: :trophy :kill:

[doctor_al]

Well, *maybe* you guys could start playing for first place a little *sooner* in the season, eh?

Fremont Ramblers (1st place) - 749 total points
Sin City Monkeys (10th place) - 762 total points

If we ranked playoff spots by total points, I would be in... 5th place :).

Of course, the Ramblers would be in 6th place :Þ .

[doctor_al]

Ron - sure I'm pulling it completely outta my butt, but...

just win, baby.

[sanonofresurfer]

just win, baby.

Sure. NOW he gives us the secret.....

[sanonofresurfer]

WOO HOO! My four game losing streak is over!:wiggle: I am a Football God!

[sanonofresurfer]

Broke my losing streak and didn't even make the play-offs. I guess coming in 9th doesn't help any....:cry:

[IllMarty]

Hey Al,

What happened?

[doctor_al]

Wheels fell off at an inopportune time, that's what!

I'll get some results posted tonight.

All I can say is you bastages are lucky I did not qualify for the Championship round. I scored the most points each of the last 2 weeks to finish...... 5th?:cuss:

Congrats to the Champ NICU8697's Evildoers.

Twas a fun season. Now if the Bears can just win a freaking home playoff game in REAL FOOTBALL!
