2005 Orangemane-Neck Pony Nation FFL (Includes latest 2006 league news)

Sign-ups for the league will end on Sunday, August 14th and the final invites will be handed out. So dont miss out!

[DBroncos4life]

when does it need to be paid by?

[Pezman]

when does it need to be paid by?

We'd really like to see the fee paid asap. But as long as payment happens before we draft, it shouldn't be a problem :)

[DBroncos4life]

We'd really like to see the fee paid asap. But as long as payment happens before we draft, it shouldn't be a problem :)


Well I should be able to pay it within the next couple of days I just was wondering if you had to pay to get a spot or not. I would like to play though.

[Pezman]

I need to mention as well that we are having our draft dates on Sunday August 21st at 6 pm EST for the Orangemane conference, and Wednesday the 24th at 9 pm EST for the Neck Pony conference.

If neither of those dates work for you, please let us know asap since we will be confirming the dates with everyone asap and priority will be given to those who have already asked for a specific date.

[watermock]

That works, altho I think I just came out of a 10 minute epilleptic seizure when I saw your avatar, gauging from my drool mark.

[Old Dude]

I'm having problems with my home PC. It doesn't seem to be fast enough to handle the new site. Which means that I'll probably have to pre-draft everyone. That being the case, either date is okay with me.

Are you having trouble loading the site at home because you are on a dial-up? I know for draft day, we are stripping down the main page to the bare minimum for speed (for 56k users) Let me know if its a problem for you down the road

[watermock]

Maybe you dunt underdand da program there bud. We ain't askin, we be tellin...now cough up before we have turn you upside downs.

[watermock]

Old Dude, doubt dial up is the problem, it's probably that your just old and senile...J/K.

Check your email, and you should get a password. follow that link. Good luck. I will get you in.

[Sideburn]

There are still 56k warriors out there? Wow!

[Rascal]

I was having problems with the site last night as well during the mock draft. Those were due to lag since I have a 56k modem....although I'm lucky if my phone line lets me get near 36k. But if I have a problem during the draft I'll call shack and complain. ;)

pez, did you get those problems fixed last night or should I just hang myself?

[watermock]

There are still 56k warriors out there? Wow!

Consider it a modern archialogical dig.of the late 20th century.

[Old Dude]

Are you having trouble loading the site at home because you are on a dial-up?
...


Yes.

...

Cool.

Some of the pages I can access without too much trouble, but all those objects on the front page are just too much for my old horse to deal with.

[Pezman]

Yes.



Cool.

Some of the pages I can access without too much trouble, but all those objects on the front page are just too much for my old horse to deal with.

Yeah, we are still working out the kinks on the front page of the site. Mainly we are attempting to implement tabs and drop down bars for easier access to the site's front end. Hopefully by draft day, I'll have a pretty good chance to finish uploading the stylesheet and rss feeds. :thumbsup:

We are still tweaking the draft page and hopefully by early next week, we should be ready for the draft.

Lastly, I need to take a sample of what everyone views the page at. Its optimized to run at 1024x768 so if you are running your screen at 800x600, it might be alot more cumbersome to view the entire site...

[Rascal]

Old Dude,

try the draft page and see how it works.

there were some rumors about possibly using a different site for the actual draft though so I'm not sure if that is the site we will use.

[Old Dude]

Old Dude, doubt dial up is the problem, it's probably that your just old and senile...J/K.

Check your email, and you should get a password. follow that link. Good luck. I will get you in.

Thanks. I'll have to check it later, 'cause I'm at work now.

My home PC is on dial-up and I imagine the modem is pretty slow. My typing is even slower, so it's never been a problem before.

(If I wind up drafting Houshmandzadeh, or whatever-his-face-is from Cincy, I could take all night)

[watermock]

I just switched to DSL from dialup a couple weeks ago Dude. Alot of sites just asume you have flash and run video without asking. Flash stuff, instant download stuff, it's rediculous. This DSL I just got is too slow, but it can load stuff. Home pages shouldn't be detailed for broadband, when some don't have it. It's discrimmitory.

I'm going to march on Washington. Get Jesse Jackson on the phone...we got issuers here...free access...denied, denied by the man with power, we know who that is...we march today on Bill Gates, the Sauron of the Modern World....Everyone take up your wothless pencils and march to Seattle...

[Broncoman13]

Time warp... I'm In!!!

I look forward to kicking your asses again. This time, I'll take no prisoners!

[REB]

This is old ****

[Pezman]

Ok... getting pretty close to the deadline here. Invites will be handed out before the end of the weekend.

For now, here are some of our kewl graphics that I'm working on for the site :)

[Rascal]

You get the kinks fixed?

[Mile High Shack]

You get the kinks fixed?

nope

[Mtbrncofn]

There are still 56k warriors out there? Wow!


That would be me! ;D

[Malcontent]

Back with a new handle this yr.... ;) Let's have some fun you people!

[Sassy]

Hey Pezzie...I think you should let me keep my "current" roster...You know, the practice draft one! LOL!

[ØrangeÇrush]

hmm..Have all the places been assigned out?

[Rascal]

weird...

went to the website to see if anything had changed. Went to the draft section and it said I required macromedia flash player version 7 or higher. Anybody know where I can download that? Why would I need it now when I didn't on our trial run?

[Rascal]

never mind I got it.

I like the new set up Pez...it's a lot easier to use and not near as herky jerky (that may because I was the only person there or the fact that it was using macromedia flash). Either way it looks good...you've done a good job with it.

[Pezman]

Yeah, we installed a much better draft room for the upcoming draft days and I think it should work much better. But you are right, you will require Macromedia Flash to use the draft room.
Whew...we are much closer to being ready for the final launch :)

[Rascal]

For those that don't have macromedia flash go to www.macromedia.com. THe download is simple to locate it and will be an easy download even for 56k warriors such as myself.

[KSigBrothers]

I sent one of you a PM but if there is room, Im in!

[BroncoFiend]

Hey guys, if there are any spots left open I'd love to get in on the league again this year.

Lets me know

How did you do that? I couldn't get the create a logo thing to work.

[watermock]

The site says the draft is in 15 seconds! Well, the clock is now running backwards. heh.

[Mile High Shack]

i think you can come test it in about 5 min. mock, if you are in the NPN as of right now.......i think at 7:40 central

[watermock]

The site says the 24th and 21'st! WTF

[Mile High Shack]

The site says the 24th and 21'st! WTF

is something wrong with that?

we are just beta testing pretty much right now

[watermock]

No problem, I just went in and it's confusing the draft date. I just kinda freaked when the site said draft in 30 seconds.

[watermock]

I'm having a hard time finding what league I'm in. I'll come back later. Where is the link to the standings?

[BFDD]

How did you do that? I couldn't get the create a logo thing to work.


I had to make it in photoshop...

[ØrangeÇrush]

Hey,

I'll be gone this week for a conference in New Orleans. I should be back by friday, but since that isn't confirmed yet, I think I need to be part of that wednesday draft.

[Arkie]

The Killer Goats can make it to either draft.

[Pezman]

Ok folks. Our conferences have been split. The Orangemane League is drafting on Sunday at 6pm EST and the Neck Pony League is drafting next Wednesday at 9pm EST, so if you are in the wrong league because of a a conflict, better PM us ASAP!!!

We are ready for the roll of the dice to see who gets what draft position and will make a formal announcement both here and on the league board tomorrow evening :)

If you have not made your payment yet, today is the deadline. So be sure to get that Paypal to Shack or else we will will have to bump your squad from the league.

Are you referring to my team?

Duece, Lamont and DeShaun are all #1 RB's. The only question is Foster and I cuffed him with his backup (Shelton). Either way, I have a starter. Add Travis Henry to the mix (he'll start at some point with Chris Injury Prone sharing the backfield). Fason is a good gamble in the late late rounds and Dayne was just incase of an injury to either MA or Tatum.
My RB's are stacked IMO.
At QB, I like Bulger. He'll throw anywhere between 32-37 TD's. I took McNair because this league weighs heavily on the Running QB. Throwing TD's are only 4 points so Manning does not rate highly in this league. If McNair gets hurt as usual, I have Volek waiting in the wings. We all know how well he did last season.

WR is great for me if Walker doesn't fade. Moss and Walker is as good as any combo in this FF league.

At TE, Dallas Clark should thrive now with Pollard being gone.

Akers is probably the best kicker in the league.

Giants D was the best available when I drafted them.

I'll stack my RB's and WR's against anyone in the league when weighed equally. Not a knock but I would rather have my backfield then your's. Bettis will get little to no yards once Duce comes back. Carnell Williams is a risky start as a rookie. Pittman ran really well for Tampa so any slip up by Carnell and he will be splitting carries with Pittman.
Tomlinson trumps McCallister but my other 2 starting RB's grealty trump your's.

Your team sucks because of their name alone.

[Old Dude]

I felt sick during the draft because, except for the wild, senseless homer reach I made to get Mike Anderson, almost everyone I got thru round 14 I would have got on the autodraft function anway.

[Rascal]

When did Larry Johnson go in your draft?

[Old Dude]

Pez took him in the 7th round and is holding him hostage.

I think I was messing around with a Drew Bennett pick at the time. Pretty dumb, but what can I say?

[Mtbrncofn]

Your team sucks because of their name alone.
Yeah!

[broncohaven]

Are the leagues full, or can I still get in?

[Old Dude]

I think it's full.

[Mile High Shack]

LOL

I love ya OD, but doing 12 write ups could be brutal

but I think it could be done, I'll just have to do it at home now, I mean I don't have a life, so it could be done, some might have to wait till Wednesday for it

[Rascal]

quit your bitching you pansy ass and start writing.

[Mile High Shack]

quit your b****ing you pansy ass and start writing.

ok how about his for the first headline?

"Rascal is a punk azz beotch who takes it nightly from Eye Patch"

like that?

[Rascal]

I see your writing has declined due to lack of use...just like something else I've heard.


LOL

[Sideburn]

I think there needs to be an inquiry into why the Gradishar division is packed with 4 playoff teams from last season. Damnit! I want a cupcake on my schedule!

[Rascal]

you are the cupcake....:devil:

[Old Dude]

I think there needs to be an inquiry into why the Gradishar division is packed with 4 playoff teams from last season. Damnit! I want a cupcake on my schedule!

It's okay. Our season tickets will sell higher in this division. Plus, think of the exposure!

I'm just glad none of you guys have Culpepper, Rudi Johnson or Marvin Harrison.

Trust me! I thought the same exact thing bro. That P*ssy Pez is surely to blame. Notice how he escaped our division?

[Old Dude]

I think Sutoazul and Bosko have cool helmets.

Not too crazy about the one that DBroncos4Life is using.

[Broncoman13]

Our division is freaking stacked!!! For sure there will be a top FFP that is left out of the playoffs...maybe even two!

Rascal swiped about 4 out from under me, so I felt the need to pass it along. ;D

[Rohirrim]

That backfield is going to give you some points. Here's hoping that Darius gets the "catching" thing under control. He's got everything else down.

[Rascal]

Wow...that was fast. Thanks Pez...good job!

That's why I hated picking #1. I knew I had to have an RB...because they'd be really picked over by my next pick :( Other than LT...mine suck...I wanted C. Brown too and he got picked right ahead of me.

WOW!!! TJ's team is stacked. Good draft! What pick did you have?

With our scoring Rich Karlis' team is also very strong. Vick is actually a very good draft pick with the bonus points QB's can get by rushing. Strong draft!

[Taco John]

WOW!!! TJ's team is stacked. Good draft! What pick did you have?





Thanks bro... I was third pick overall. I aimed toward balance... I picked up three runningbacks in a row, (Alexander in one, Martin in two, and I'm of the opinion that I stole Bell in three), and then went to fill out the rest of my team. I have a pretty heavy Broncos investment, though none of them were drafted as starters, save the Broncos defense... But having the Pats defense on deck is pretty sweet.

I think I've got a team that can make a serious run.

[Beantown Bronco]

Taco:

Until the Broncos can prove they can get turnovers, you're insane if you start them over New England's (except in week 1 at least...Broncos obviously have a much better matchup)

Stover, Matt BAL PK

Jaguars, Jacksonville JAC Def

[Rascal]

Yeah I think you should have held off on that Mcnabb pick unless you really wanted him. QB's are easy to get in later rounds IMO, but other then that it looks solid.

[Evenrude]

Evenrude's Fat Bastards

Brees, Drew SDC QB
Plummer, Jake DEN QB
Bennett, Michael MIN RB
Benson, Cedric CHI RB
Davenport, Najeh GBP RB
Dillon, Corey NEP RB

Caldwell, Reche SDC WR

Houshmandzadeh, T.J. CIN WR
Moss, Santana WAS WR
Rogers, Charles DET WR
Stokley, Brandon IND WR
Smith, L.J. PHI TE
Janikowski, Sebastian OAK PK
Titans, Tennessee TEN Def

Overall I was pretty happy with my draft. I waited a little too long to grab a wide receiver and have a couple injury concerns, but all and all I think I did ok. Picking 11th is kind of hard because after the first 7-8 players go off the board the next 20 players are kind of clumped together.....

[Rascal]

Like the RB's...they should win you some games.

[Old Dude]

I thought Mock did pretty well.

[Rascal]

You mean Pez did pretty well for Mock.

[Old Dude]

You mean Pez did pretty well for Mock.

Why? What happened?

[Rascal]

Mock didn't show up till late in the draft. Lucky for him Pez took over from the computer in the fourth round so he wouldn't get stuck with 7 QB's like last year.

[Mile High Shack]

You mean Pez did pretty well for Mock.

no

Mock drafted his own team

[Rascal]

no

Mock drafted his own team

oh I didn't think he showed up till late in the draft.

My bad...sorry mock.

[BMF Bronco]

Just wondering if anyone needs a straggler for a league?

[Rascal]

Who is ultra sonik gear stix?

BFDD, I think.

[Rascal]

There are several good teams in that draft.

It should be a real interesting season.

[Mtbrncofn]

You're a busy boy, Rascal! :)

[Rascal]

LOL

I think I'm going to relax on the trading actually. It's too early with preseason still going on.

Okay maybe not ;)

[Rascal]

right...thanks MT.

[Mtbrncofn]

No prob.

[watermock]

QB: Harrington, Joey DET QB
McNabb, Donovan PHI QB

Stallworth, Donte' NOS WR
TE: Alexander, Stephen DEN TE
Heap, Todd BAL TE
Kinney, Erron TEN TE
PK: Elam, Jason DEN PK
Chicago CHI Def
Eagles, Philadelphia PHI Def
Seahawks, Seattle SEA Def

Rough around the edges, but I can smooth it out.

I might rename them Mock's Misfits.

[Taco John]

Taco:

Until the Broncos can prove they can get turnovers, you're insane if you start them over New England's (except in week 1 at least...Broncos obviously have a much better matchup)


I will use them both depending on who they match up against. But I've got all the faith in the world in Coyer.

[Mtbrncofn]

You have 3 Defenses, mock? And 3 Tight ends? Oh I know, you're setting up trades, huh? I know a couple of people only drafted 1 TE.

[Rascal]

McMichael is available for those of you weak at TE....



oh yeah I'm taking it easy on the trades. LOL

[watermock]

Yeah, I'm open for business. I can yank some scrub to kick off the wire one week. I went BPA, and was absolutely dead tired from working on the exterior of the house. I almost went to the hospital. I felt pretty bad. I did a bit too much and really was weak. I got talent.

McNabb
Caddilac
Edge
Heap
T.O.
Mohammed the Terrorist Bear
Stallworth could still break out. He can make TD's.

That's not a bad core.

[Sassy]

I wanna draft over! :(

[DBroncos4life]

I'm pretty happy with my team. Sure the RB thing could suck but I will have to wait and see. My Fav pick was Heath Miller. I think he will win the ROY this year. Also without Plex he should get some love in the RZ. The main problem though is Gonzo is going to have a even bigger year because KC has pretty much unproven guys for Green to through too. The one guy that I think is getting no love is McNair. So he was hurt last year big deal the guy still is one year removed from his MVP season, also he does rush for TD's on the goal line as well. I was pretty surpised to get a guy that caught 8 td's last year with the very last pick. Right now is the time where we all think we can win it all though :) so I guess we will have to see how the cards fall.

[Sassy]

I'm not saying a word :)

It's not all bad...but not great...I need some more RB's...

In FFL, if the RB thing can suck, it will. RB's make or break you, IMO.

[Old Dude]

Interconference games? Oh great. As if my schedule couldn't get any worse ...

I don't suppose we can make interconference trades?

[Rascal]

Can I have two McGahee's and two Antonio Gates :pray:

[Old Dude]

If I could get two copies of Terrell Owens, then one of them could complain about favoritism on every play.

I think I'm fine at TE..Chris Cooley had 6 TD's in the 9 games he started....if Gibbs utilizes his H-back like in times past. I'm golden.. As for WR..I'm weak, no doubt. I'm loaded at RB though, and with WR, you can play the waiver wire game depending on matchups.

[watermock]

I went strictly for team players...T.O., Caddilac, Stallworth, Elam, Edge.

[Old Dude]

I'm just outgunned everywhere I look. You all did a really great job. Have mercy on an old man and leave your QBs deactivated when you play me to make it look like a real fight.

I don't know what you're worried about. In LT, you have the best RB in the NFL and you stole Mike Anderson in the 9th round. I spent a 6th round pick on the guy. Shipp isn't a bad player, and could see a lot of time if Arrington isn't "all that." Curtis Martin could go down at any time, so Blaylock's not a bad pick either. Same with Rhodes in Indy and Williams in Minnesota. You have vultures circling people all over the place.

Andre Johnson is a great wide receiver and Ashlie is sure to be the Broncos #1 guy ... Rod Smith has slowed down, and we don't have a legit #3 or a decent TE, so who else can Jake throw it too? Ash is not a bad pick at all.

McCareins & Calico are perfectly legit gambles. I'm not optimistic about Calico's health, but who knows?

Graham might not be the hottest TE, but he'll get some TDs.

You might have gone for Brady too high, but this league penalizes sacks and he's got a pretty good line.

With a little luck and some fine tuning, you could win a lot of games.

[Sassy]

It may not be too bad...just not too excited about the RB's...yet...but like you've said...I get one of those starters to go down...and I've got the backup...and who knows about Anderson...

[Pezman]

I think you will be ok at RB Sassy. But consider aquiring a solid backup just in case :)

we'll see ;D :devil:

[Rascal]

Looks like my flier on Michael Jenkins is turning out well. Caught two TD passes (one form Vick) and was thrown too on numerous occasions. Vick needs somebody else besides Crumpler to throw the ball at.





......runs to knock on wood

[Mtbrncofn]

I'm just outgunned everywhere I look. You all did a really great job. Have mercy on an old man and leave your QBs deactivated when you play me to make it look like a real fight.

I'm pretty sure when I played you last year, OD....you opened up a can of whoop ass on me, so NO MERCY! :P

[Old Dude]

I think it was a pretty close game, actually. If I remember right, it came down to a Monday night finish of some sort, and you just fell 4 or 5 points short. But I can't remember too much about anything these days. I know Shack slapped me around once in the regular season and destroyed me in my only playoff game. I split with Pez. I lost another early game but can't remember anything about it, excet that I had Droughns on the fantasy bench while he was racking up 150 yards on the field. I got lucky when the Fat Bastards had everyone on bye the week we played. And I got a break in the schedule and never had to play the Evil Head Brigade.

[ØrangeÇrush]

The Bus pulled a Hammy, I hope it's not a lingering injury for those who drafted him.

[Pezman]

Schedules are in! Go to the league message board for more :)

Dangit, I think you're right. A field goal or something might have come into play. It sounded good when I typed it though. :)

[Mtbrncofn]

Yikes. Where in the heck did you get the double header idea, Pez? That's kinda cool....I think?

[ØrangeÇrush]

it was a calf


Yeah I saw that later on, but when it happened it looked like it was the hammy.

[Rascal]

wow....tough interleague schedule. I play Reb, Pez, and Bman. Bman should be an easy win though unless he makes some trades since 1/2 his roster has a bye when we play. :)

[Pezman]

We are just sadistic, evil, twisted little minions of Taco John :notworthy

[Sassy]

Wow...If Anderson starts....that 9th round pick I had will help me dramatically ;D

[Old Dude]

Wow...If Anderson starts....that 9th round pick I had will help me dramatically ;D

Ashlie didn't look bad either.

[Sassy]

Ashlie didn't look bad either.
Yep! That's my boy!!! ;D

[ØrangeÇrush]

Wow...If Anderson starts....that 9th round pick I had will help me dramatically ;D

Its not who starts the season...its who will finish it. Anderson will be the opening day starter for sure, however, how long before he wears down...thats what everyone will be paying attention to. But, until than..you should do a little ass kickin as everyone knows that the Denver back gets points.

True...However, Mike looked "hungry" last night...and I don't think he's going to be giving up the starting job anytime soon.

[ØrangeÇrush]

I agree that he did looke hungry, but its more to the point of can he keep it up for a 16 game season that I would worry about. Of course, this was a flier pick at #9, so its an absolute steal for you. Gratz!!!

[Pezman]

The trading has begun... some big names already being swapped around the league. Should be fun! One week until the first game baybee!

[Broncoman13]

My team looks completely different now. Lots of trades... gave up some good players (Dunn, C. Martin, T.Gonzalez, Lee Evans, Jimmy Smith and Ash) Got some good players back (Bulger, Kevin Jones, Javon Walker, Jimmy Smith and Dallas Clark).

That gives me the following starting line-up:
QB- Bulger
RB- Edge James
RB- Kevin Jones
RB/WR flx- DeShaun Foster or S. Davis... whomever starts for Carolina OR Kennison at WR.
WR- Javon Walker
WR- D. Jackson
TE- Dallas Clark
K- Jeff Wilkins
D/ST- Baltimore.

Bench
QB- Griese, Carr
RB- Foster/Davis, Rhodes, Pittman
WR- Galloway, Kennison, Peerless

Hey Rascal...I'm not so scared of you for week 8 anymore!!! BRING IT NPN!!!!!!!!

[Rascal]

Wait till you see my trades!! HA!

Besides, you still have three starters with a bye week 8. LOL!

[Mtbrncofn]

AHA! I have been trying to figure out who Oskie is for days now. I finally figured it out. Sheesh. Give a person a clue next time or something, BMan! ;)

[Mile High Shack]

took me till just now to figure out who Oskie was....lol

[Broncoman13]

LMAO!!! I've had about 30 people trying to figure it out. OSKIE is bring'n the turnovers to our Broncos. If we end up pulling 30+ turnovers this year the name will stay!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to go look at my lineup now. I didn't realize I had three starters out still! Either way, it beats having all three starting RB's out!

[Mile High Shack]

yeah, you OMer's, go and try to win that "cute" little division you 12 have over there

when you want to play some real ball, we'll see you in the playoffs and during the interleague :D

Hey Bosko... up yours ya bastage! Ha! My god, did you already have a productive night. Brady and Dillon gave you some big points already. I'm screwed!

[Rascal]

I'm guessing Sassy won't be disappointed starting Branch or Brady. You owe me!!

[Sassy]

Cool...I forgot about Brady in the OM League since I have Branch in both...
Just how do I owe you???

[Mile High Shack]

I'm not entirely sure about that either

[Rascal]

Because I told you to start Branch...nevermind the fact that you already decided to do that on your own :)

[Sassy]

Ha! Not like I had a lot of choice!

[Evenrude]

Starting off neck and neck for the battle of the Bugeaters......it would have been nice to get some points from Seabass..... but I that is what I get for having a dirty Raider on my team.

[Broncoman13]

Just about everybody stuck with the "old" strategy for drafting a team. Despite missed FG's taking away big time points!!! When Wilkins has a bye week, I'm in trouble!!!

True, with my team it's like I'm stealing everybody's money! Ha!

Bman's Crooks!!!

[Rich Karlis]

Anyone else having trouble getting on the league site? Live scoring has been on and off all day....

[Mtbrncofn]

Yep, I'm having a hard time too, Rich.

[Garcia Bronco]

How can a player produce negative points? That's retarded

[Sideburn]

Ask Culpecker...

-2 points. The ass kicking from Philly this week is in the bag. If I'm lucky I'll break 50. I don't know what my score is right now. I haven't been able to look since the start of the late games. The new site sucks balls during games. Note to fantasy football sites. Buy enough bandwidth to support your customers.

[Sideburn]

Even worse, my backup qb also got -2 points. No bonus for rbs going over 100 yards either? What kind of fvcked up scoring system is this?

[Broncoman13]

Pretty sure RB's get a 3 point bonus for going over 100.

I think it's stupid that QB's lose points for sacks. I do however like the fact that they knocked the QB's down a notch so that they are the final authority in games. Last year w/Manning hardly anybody had a shot at beating me when he was throwing 4 and 5 TD's a game. He was scoring 45-50 points a week for like 8 weeks! It was a good move but losing points sucks! Atleast I'm picking some points up from my kicker... in the mane league anyhow!

Johnson, Rudi CIN RB
at Browns Sun 1:00 p.m. ET 6 1 Rushing TDs
0 0 Interceptions
1 12 Receiving Yards
0 0 Fumbles Lost (to Opponent)
12 126 Rushing Yards
19 Subtotal

He got me 22 in the geek league with the 3 point bonus.

From the scoring page...
Number of Rushing TDs 0-10 6 points each Test
Rushing Yards 0-999 1 point for every 10 Test
Rushing Yards 100-100 3 Test
Rushing Yards 200-200 6 Test
Rushing Yards 300-300 9 Test

According to this, the only way to get the bonus is to land exactly on 100. Looks like someone fvcked it up.

[Rascal]

I had that happen to me as well. It'll get fixed...not that it matters for me this week anyway.

I am getting killed in every single one of my fantasy leagues. My list of disappointments:

Delhomme (thanks for the 4 points), Favre (thanks for the -3 points), Green (thanks for the 6 points), Alexander (thanks for the 7 points), Martin (thanks for the 7 points), Stover (for the current -3 points), Horn (thanks for the 6 points), Burleson (4 points I think), Driver (6 points)....the list goes on.

My highest scorer on one team was E Kinney with 8. OUCH!!!!

[Rascal]

ATTENTION JAVON WALKER OWNERS!!!!!

Javon has a torn ACL and is gone for the season according to Roto.

[Mtbrncofn]

Goddamnit, ****ing pansy ass fudgePACKER! :cuss:

He's on my Geek squad.


Ok, that wasn't very nice of me. I'm sorry you're hurt, Javon but thanks for nothing.
