Well, we did, but it seems that something went very, very awry!Quote:

So yeah, that was smart. Coming off my 1st win in weeks and I don't make any substitutions. I'm sure my player with the bye week will score me some huge points. Never chose my weekly pick 'em either. :mad: :smiley13:
Well, now you all have something in common :smiley15:
Sheesh Jamie, I didn't know we were playing for real -- I was just tossing the football around and you took me down hard.
Noted in my FFL diary for future reference.
And can we vote out David like they did to that guy who made all the racist remarks?

Dagnabit buzz....I dunno what happened, I even used Flacco as my QB. I tried.:smiley18:
Beating smartypantsdavid in the playoffs will be much more satisfying than voting him out would be. :smiley37:
So wait, we aren't in the playoffs yet? :indecisiveness:Quote:

I'm fine witth that plan. Where should we start the bidding?
With a Thursday like that, Don just might be the end of me.
I think most of my team took an impromptu bye week. Good job Don
Still not bad to have one loss mid-way thru the season.
I was lucky this week and had enough beasts to outweigh the "no shows" on my roster!
My team, of course... won again -- which is win number 11 if my calculations are correct. Just one more week left before the Superbowl so it looks like this is all wrapped up and I've got the most points, so... I can't remember how we are doing the payouts but I'll go ahead and take 4 of those Sharks now and select my other 22 cigars later this week.
:smiley45:and so forth...
Well, since no one seems to want to discuss it, I unilaterally decided that I win, and winner takes all this year.Quote:

Posted up in the payout thread.
So I totally forgot that the football things were still going on -- and just realized that last week I lost by 0.68 points.
What?!?
0.68 points?!?!?
zero. point. six. eight.
This is football right? Where a downtouch is worth 6 points and kicking the ball correctly is worth either 1 or 3 points depending on whether the kicker is right- or left-footed? And they get -2 points for a downtouch on the wrong side? How the heck did I lose by 0.68 points?!?!
:smiley7:
I call total and absolute unadulterated shenanigans and officially demand that we play last week over again. Heck, I don't even know if I had my DEF position filled. And I might be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure I was using that Jamal dude, which should be a guaranteed win even if all my other players are on a bye week resting from their 7.13 minutes of play from the previous week.
Of course I am still occupying the #1 spot for the League Pick Em, because, well, as I divulged previously, I always choose me to win. And I've noticed now that everyone else has adopted the same tactic, which is smart so I won't fault you for it. Oh and here's a protip: don't vote for Jamie's team... I have it on pretty good authority* that he has absolutely no idea what he is doing.
* PM me for details
This week I'll win for sure which is no big suprise or anything. And so on and so forth... :smiley37: :smiley45::smiley16:
Sorry, I spelled Jamaal's name wrong. It's spelled Jamaal. With three a's. My bad.
:smiley16::smiley45::smiley32: :smiley37: and so on...
I beat Buzzbombers again. Lol
Calm down. This is no place for ridiculous outburts.Quote:

Well, I have two players that play tonight, but unless J. Maclin catches a pass and then runs 120 yards in the wrong direction and C. Parkey kicks himself in the face on a field goal attempt, I've already won. Again. Calm down everyone, just nod in admiration and try to control yourself while I sign some autographs. I'll get to you soon enough, just be patient.
I debated whether I should come here and brag about yet another fantastic win and decided that I shouldn't because it would be mean and I know that you guys are all really trying hard. I appreciate the attempts you are making and it's clear that you are putting every ounce of effort you can into taking me down. So instead of going on and on about how awesome my team is and how we win every single week so handily and all that, I will simply say that you guys are doing the best that you can, and you should hold your heads high and know that even though the spankings I hand out hurt for a time, in the future, perhaps not this decade, but later on in life, you will be stronger from them -- and who knows, maybe someday you too will have the amazingly epic FFL skills to compete at my level. I'm not saying you will beat me, but the losses you will suffer won't be so incredibly embarassing to the point that you are hoping my kicker kicks himself in the face.
So this week I give you the clapping smiley, not for my 47th or 48th win in a row (I can't remember now, it's hard to keep track) -- but for you... for trying, for showing up and even though you knew I was going to tear the field up -- you didn't give up. You tried, and really that is just the only thing you can do against me.
So here's to you all, very nice tries from all of you. :smiley32:
My motivational cup runeth over.
Buzz, when are you going to break 1000 points? I've been here for a week now. It's starting to get lonely.
Well dangit, I forgot that the football season wasn't over yet and completely missed dealing with two players that are on a bye week. :smiley7:
Congrats, whoever I'm playing this week... my inability to understand how the days of the week thing works may have given you a win.
But in the grand scheme of things, whatevs...
I've still got this whole thing locked up. :smiley37:
I have way, way more than 1,000 points. You must have mistakenly looked at "points against" -- which of course for me is very, very low and will likely never reach 1,000.Quote:

Yep, stings a bit. Last year, the championship was decided by less than 1.5 points, and 3rd place by less than 1. All 4 teams in the finals had the exact same record.Quote:

Well, you all know what happened. Somehow I figured out how to take the two guys who weren't playing football this week and replace them with two players who were playing, which was nice. And of course, no surprise...
:smiley45:
Not that I needed those two guys who actually played though, as I won by somewhere around 75 points. At some point over the weekend I receieved an email from Dan saying that Murray had been dropped. Now I consider myself somewhat tech-savvy, but honestly I had absolutely no idea if Dan was sending me some sort of private message, or if it was a community notice that I had dropped Murray, or if someone else had done it.
Also, I don't know if Murray is his first or last name, and I don't know if he plays K, RB, or DEF. I tried as hard as I could to figure out what the heck Dan was talking about but after 30 minutes lost in Yahoo's amazingly complex website I gave up and went to Ebay to search for a pair of those pink "Juicy" shorts to send Jamie for Christmas.
Unfortunately, since I was so busy shopping for Jamie I completely forgot to vote for myself for winning again, which means that I may drop a place or two in the league pick 'em. But let's be honost, the pick 'em is just a way for the losers to feel like they still have a chance to win something. I may go ahead and let you guys fight over the dog rocket winnings for the pick 'em and instead focus on remembering to actually set my roster before the games begin.
I apologize for getting everyone's hopes up this week and then smashing them in to bits, that was very cruel and I feel pretty bad about it. To make up for it I will not toy with your emotions this week -- I'll simply tell you that I will win again by many, many, many points.
It was a board message not a PM. Was just curious as to why one would drop the Rb with the most points in the league. I think we may never know:indecisiveness:
You are aware that K-Town Megatrons manager is DayDrunk........aren't ya? :smiley2:Quote:

And, yes, I do kinda feel a little bad for snatching him up.
Kinda. :smiley36:
Dont feel bad it will probably win you the league. I thought Daydrunk was just a name he chose to be funny. Apparently I was wrong lol he really meant it. Should probably make a rule like I see in other leagues that makes certain players who could change the face of the league undroppable. I dont know why most Yahoo leagues dont do thatQuote:

So am I to infer from this that we are not already in the playoffs? :indecisiveness:Quote:

We'll use a "can't cut list" next year.
Well shoot, I have done absolutely everything I could to try to get my projected points to be above David's... but there's just no way. I've added and dropped and benched and un-benched and sorted and filtered and moved and shaked and baked and I'm still down by like 50 points. I even added a new TE who can't play football, just like my other TE who can't play football and has the "Q" by his name. So I figured out that you can click on the "Q" and it will tell you very personal information about the player. In my TE's case, he got an oww wee on his ankle and I'm supposed to "check status all week" -- which is a huge issue because 1) there is absolutely no way I will remember to "check status" and B) I have nobody to put in his spot that knows how to play football anyway. So unfortunately it appears that David has a pretty good chance of drinking from the victory cup.
I mean it's like he has two teams or something. Actually, I saw that he added Green Bay but is playing the Colts for DEF so the only thing that makes sense here is that Yahoo's site is so screwed up that they are giving him double points for both teams. I went ahead and sent an email to Yahoo's support staff to see if they can fix this obvious bug in the system but my guess is they will be unable to address the problem until after the points post for this week -- and of course the rule in FFL is that once the points post, they can't be unposted. I won't cry about it, I mean it is totally unfair and all, but I won't cry. If David wants to win with these little tricks that is on him -- I sleep just fine at night.
So go ahead David and enjoy your last win before you go on a 22-game losing streak (once Yahoo fixes their buggy website). I won't even hint at the posibility that I could beat you because it is so incredibly impossible -- like ascending Mt. Everest nude impossible -- like hula-hooping underwater impossible -- like removing your mailing address from Famous Smokes impossible.
