I am starting it up again.  Details to be edited in.  People in last year will get invites from Yahoo.  If you don't want your spot, speak up here.

Live Draft August 30, 8PM EDT.

Thank you to the one who reminded me.

The Invalids are in. Already know I'm going to be out of town for the draft. It seems like I do better when I auto-draft, anyways.   :oh_i_see:

I'll play this year but I'm happy to do my time in the noob league or whatever as I imagine most of the spots are already taken.

Hey, no dissing my second class league.  I'll get it started soon as well so we can make sure everyone that wants a spot, gets one.

Can we just make sure we leave Phildo out of both leagues this year?  :awesome_for_real:

Perhaps this year I can managed not to draft the most overrated players in the league.

Maybe.

I will also play if needed, I am also perfectly happy to be in Rasix's league of losers.

I'm in as Kilt Wavers. I'll be glad to soak up a slot in the JV league as well this year if there's room.

The drought ends at 4 years dammit.

Graviton Otters were last in JV this past year so I'm returning to soak up more brutality. 

P.S. Is Randy Moss still a first round talent? :awesome_for_real:

Resigned up for the minor leagues as the Glorified Bricklayers. Bring on football season.

Hah, so you were the guy that was worse than I was.  

I had no business winning the main league, but I did.  :drill: :drill: :drill:

And yep, JV league invites should be out.  Decline for now if you have a main league spot.  I'm sure I'll have to beg for your return later.

You guys are a bunch of optimists.   But sure, count me in to collapse horribly in the playoffs!

Playoffs???

I know Yahoo is confusing everyone by displaying one Draft time on one screen and another on another screen.

I am relying on the League Settings screen:

IN. Thanks for setting this up again.

"There was a problem
There is not room in this league if all teams from last year return. To join, get the commissioner to increase the maximum number of teams, or remove teams that will not be returning."

Let me get on that. I'll free up a couple spots.

If I remove you and you want back in, just send me a PM.  I'll be using a hatchet.

edit: Ugg, trying to figure out how to remove people that haven't accepted yet.

Ok, deleted anyone that hadn't accepted the invite yet.   So, have at it.

I figure the JV team doesn't need to be as set in stone as the other league.  I think I may increase teams to 14 if we get enough interest and just mimic the other leagues rules/roster.

I will wait to join JV for a month or two.

The Drunks are in on the main league.

NFL.com seems to be pretending nothing unusual is going on.  I have heard zilch about the player-owner conflict in the last month or so.  Not a good sign.

There have supposedly been meetings and talk of a new deal within the next 2-3 weeks.

Let's talk turkey. Why do we still have an uneven number of teams?

I did so badly last year that my team doesn't count?

I guess the lockout left people guessing. We have a spot left it looks like.

One spot left.  Feel free to invite non-F13 friends if it isn't taken by the weekend.

I wouldn't mind taking the spot if it's still open.  Do I need a password?

Just sneaking this info into this thread as well.

Invites sent to all of last years participants. Link info below for people that want to join in and play ESPN analyst.

It looks like someone ninja'd my ass...the league now appears to be full.

There's still a couple slots left in the JV league. Join us! We have the best porn.

Was JV a 10 team or 12 team league? If we need more I have someone interested

12 team. Go for it, I'm not picky.

Cool thanks. Inviting a buddy then for the 11th spot

Remember, the regular Bat Country league's draft is tonight at 7 CDT. The JV league is Saturday at 3 pm CDT.

Probably won't make it to the draft.  I've got company and a 2 year old.  Yay.

I'm gonna be there. And I'm not making the mistake of drafting Randy Moss again.

This is severely pissing me off. Been trying to get the draft to load for 20 minutes now. Downloaded new version of Flash, new browsers, nothing seems to work. FUCK.

Yeah, it gets stuck at around 90% loading and then sits there for me.

Fantastic - autodraft team for me...

Crap still at work.... hate to see my team of kickers and retired dl players.

Finally got logged in but not fast enough to keep the autopicker from taking Chris Johnson.  :oh_i_see:

Well I guess I got the senior Manning so hopefully his head stays on.  Orton as backup so that's ok unless Tebow makes a comeback  :why_so_serious:  I'm safe there I think. 

2 kickers.. thank you autodraft.  Ohh god this team is bad. WTF, ELI.  NOOOOOOO.

And I forgot.

And I have the first pick. Holy fuck.  :ye_gods:


Actually I don't hate this team. Could be worse.

Yes, I hate my team and I drafted it.  It's going to be a long year.  

Most memorable moment of the draft: Right after I drafted Sydney Rice (I know... what was I thinking?).  Haemish, you never fail to disappoint.  I laughed my ass off at your comments. 

I lost track of fantasy football this year.  Is there still room in the JV league?

Looks like we filled up unless someone wants to drop.  (DON'T EVERYONE DROP AT ONCE).

Sooooooo maybe my #1 draft pick posted a fucking hamstring injury that will sideline him for weeks on Twitter.  :facepalm:

I think I'm not going to go after a big name RB in the first round this year.  They are just to unpredictable.

These days, with the preponderence of 2-back systems, there really aren't many guys to draft 1st round as RB. Chris Johnson, Jamaal Charles and Arians Foster are about it that I can think of. One of those just tweeted about his hamstring, one of those is a money-grubbing douche and one of those plays for the Chiefs.

Not an Adrian Peterson fan, I 'm guessing. 

We just did our work draft last night and everyone went RB nuts. Stewie had the seventh pick and got Rogers (who we both had planned to pick at #1), I got Rivers at #10 and since all the grade A RBs were gone, I picked up Calvin Johnson at #15 (I had him ranked as a top 8 pick).

Here is what I ended up with, so that anyone who wants can feel free to make fun of me:

QB    Rivers
WR    C Johnson
WR    W Welker
WR    S Rice
RB    S Green
RB    L Blount
TE    K Winslow
BN    J Cutler
BN    L Moore
BN    R Gronkowski
BN    M Bush
BN    D Carter
BN    B Tate

K     R Gould
D     Chicago

I figured that since I didn't get a top tier RB, I'd take a few young guys and see who might breakout.

Fuck, I always forget him. He's worth it if you can forgive his fumbles.

I like the Ben Tate pick. I was planning to get him in my drafts only to have him snatched up before I could justify a pick on him.

e- Chris Johnson just signed, so I can at least get a couple of carries out of him before he snaps a hammy due to lack of preseason work.

Recovering from Irene-related internet blackout to see my team for the first time.  Not too bummed.  I had a 150 player pre-rank all set.  I grabbed Gates too soon in hindsight, but I like that I got Brees in the first round instead of a starting RB gamble.

Adrian Peterson has been Mr. Reliable in terms of fantasy points. Maybe not #1 every year but never a bust.

I feel pretty good about my team. But I've had that feeling before and it never seems to last past October.

Rivers was my bread an butter last year, so if he's anything like the same this year, you will be thrilled.  Welker is a beast too, obviously.  Had Blount on my my, and he seemed to be okay, but I could never bring myself to start him.

But Sydney Rice?  You know who is going to be throwing to him this year?  No one, that's who.

I grabbed Moss on the off chance he signs somewhere.  Could just be BS chatter but the upside vs a player I will only use on a BYE week seems worth the slot.

Jax just cut Gerrard and installed McCown as the starter.  :awesome_for_real:

 :ye_gods:  FEK, I have Jones-Drew (yay, MFing autodraft) in the JV league.  My teams this year are terrible.  I made a huge misstep in the JV draft once I actually took the reins.

Wait, what? What the fuck? Why would you do that? I could see it if they were installing Gabbert, QB of the FOOOO-CHURE! in his place, but you don't shitcan a guy with his experience a week before the season starts for Luke McCown. Garrard will never be an elite QB, but he protects the ball and generally doesn't lose you ball games. Shit, you keep him around for nothing more than mentoring the new kid.

Clownshoes.

So I decided to base my whole season on the ups and downs of Michael Vick.  I ranked him as number 1 and let autodraft do the rest.  Should be interesting.  Rest of the squad isn't terribly noteworthy, but I guess that's what I can expect when I draft a QB first.  Hakeem Nicks would be my primary receiver, and Matt Forte as my primary RB.  Old Baltimore defense should still put up pretty decent numbers.  Here's hoping Vick can manage 40 a game  :awesome_for_real:

Nicks is gonna be a beast. Not sold on Forte though...his OL is ungood.

I seem to recall Forte being pretty solid in Fantasy last year (less good the year before, but still pretty good).  The good thing about him is that when they stop him running, he just catches passes instead.  IMO one of the best, if not THE best receiving RBs in the league, and maybe that improves now that Olsen is gone.

In a Martz offense, what Forte will lose because his O Line sucks and Martz doesn't like running ball, he will gain by being a pass catching machine.

This.  Forte is an excellent option as a receiver and will get many chances for swing passes and play action in the red zone.

So Manning senior is gone for most of the season due to neck surgery.  This is because I am QB cancer.   I'm so happy I was able to retain that title so quickly, now we just need Orton to get hurt or benched and my legacy will be complete.

Brandon Marshal + 5 points v. Sabastian Janikowski. 

Try not to hit any bitches on your way through the parking lot, Brandon.

I have gold on my bench - Stafford - with Brees as my starter. Willing to trade Stafford.  Also willing to trade Jones-Drew.  I do not believe that more than one decent player = one great player.  Offer like for like.

This league has never done much trading, but I figured I would put it out there.

I feel pretty good about my main league team.  Not great depth and my QBs are going to be a problem, but I think I'll be OK.  Only guy I'd be really looking to move would be Tolbert, possibly for a better QB situation or better WR depth.

Wow, main league has neutered receiving yard points.  I totally did not see that.  No wonder Nick's above average day was worth a whole.. 12 points.  :uhrr:

I didn't actively change that from last year.  At least not intentionally.

I could swear it was 10 per point last year.  Could be wrong.

Here's the settings from last year:

Passing Yards: 20 yards per point
Passing Touchdowns: 6
Interceptions: -2
Sacks: -1
Rushing Yards: 10 yards per point 
Rushing Touchdowns: 6 
Receptions: .5 0
Reception Yards: 15 yards per point
Reception Touchdowns: 6 
Return Touchdowns: 6 
2-Point Conversions: 2 
Fumbles Lost: -2

My team is horrible.  Only one player even in double digit scoring, and that was a mighty  11.  Gonna be a long season.

Brady just fucking owned my team in the face.

Good lord.  :why_so_serious:

Wow, Wes Welker got me within 3 points of winning the JV league game. I thought I had no chance whatsoever.

Have no fear- I have you covered for the first league. Guess I should have started Fitzpatrick..that would have made it sort of close at least. Also, Knowshon Mereno is a huge vagina and I hope he snaps a knee so I don't have to think about playing him the rest of the season.

Dammit.  It's not good that Jeremy Fucking Maclin is my #2 receiver if he's going to continue to score 2.5 points per game.  Especially now that Hakeem Nicks is having some knee trouble.

And as for Blount...fuck.  I don't even think they give the guy the ball.  I think I am going to have serious depth issues as WR and RB this year.

Almost forgot my useless TE (Owen Daniels).  I thought he was supposed to be decent?  Your team scored 34 points, dude, I expect you to be part of that.

And how does Baltimore keep the Steelers to 7 points, force 7 turnovers, and still only score 23 points?  Something is off with the defensive scoring, because that was probably the best fantasy performance of the week (except for Brady, perhaps).

Defensive and special teams TDs are what turn in the monster games for defenses.  Otherwise, their potential for huge scores (especially if you blow the shutout) are less.  This is also why they are drafted later typically.  Welcome to fantasy football.

Sucka.  :raspberry:

I know, it's just that I'm a terrible loser, so I'm trying to find all manner of justification for it.

Still pissed about the Maclin/Blount/Daniels trio.  My fucking kicker outscored their combined total!

I think I just peaked.  24pts from SF DEF...

This season, the feeling hasn't even lasted to October.

136 points and I'm going to lose by nearly thirty in the JV league.  I may have to look at lowering points per catch next year, the scores in this league get crazy when WRs go off.

I need 8 points out of Eli and Nicks (later might not play) in the main league.  Not 100% positive I'll get there.   :awesome_for_real:

Have no fear. I have a giant Kryptonite fork sticking in me for all my fantasy interests this year.

Tony Gonzalez and Smilin Miles basically gave me this week.

Both my teams stunk on ice this week. My JV team wasn't bad, but just got outscored. Playing against Brady, Hillis and one of the two NE TE's will do that to you. I'm ready to break Brady's fingers if he doesn't start throwing more to wideouts. Seriously, Gronkowski gets twice the points of Welker? That's not right.

Felix Jones and Jason Garrett can go suck a big fat bag of dicks. Did they hire Mike Martz when I wasn't fucking looking? Two games and a total of 45 rushes not by a QB? Darren Sproles is more guaranteed points than goddamn Felix Jones.

Gates didn't have a single catch.  Ugh.  Hung me.

Could be worse.  You could have DeAngelo Williams.  :oh_i_see:

I do in one of these leagues. He's sitting on the bench and looks to be staying that way.

Fuck you, Yahoo, for not letting me cut Felix Fucking Jones.

Put him on IR?

I can fix that, I think.

edit: Try now.

Nope, still can't cut his ass.

F U Philip Rivers. And Sanchez gets 30 pts. on my bench.

I had no chance this week. My #1 and #2 picks are out with injuries and my backup RB went down before the game. Ugh.

He is gone now.  You have an open slot on your Bench.  I had to go into Edit Rosters.

Fuck's sake. Wes Welker killed me in the regular league and made my game in the JV league.

Yeah Welker more than made up for Gates being sidelined suddenly.

I'm looking to deal Witten alone or in a package to anyone interested.

Looking back, you were dead on. He's netted 341 yards in 3 games for me. The only player on my roster with more combined yards so far, is Wes Welker.

I have no idea how I survived Aaron Rodgers today.

I cannot fucking believe my days. Both teams score lights out today and both are going to lose.

Holy shit...Rodgers sure made it close in the JV league.  53 points!?  Monstrous.  But hey...maybe you'll get lucky and Blount will rush for -6 yards and two fumbles on Monday.

How does one score 154 fucking points and STILL LOSE?

You could not manage just one more catch for me Clark, seriously.

Lost pretty soundly, even.  I'm glad that Mr. Blount decided to help rub it in a little, with 20 extra points to salt your wounds!

I thought I was dead. Victory by the narrowest of margins!

I find it a little humorous that Haemish leads the JV leage in scoring, yet still has a firm grip on last place somehow.  Surely that can't continue?

Hell, I'm doing HORRIBLY in both leagues, mostly down to matchups. In the regular league, I have serious problems beyond Jennings, Rivers and Sproles. Kellen Winslow scoring no TD's isn't helping. The JV league I just can't explain it. That team can score like a motherfucker, I just keep running up against someone having a better week than me. 154 point loss. FUCK.

Thankfully Calvin Johnson and Fred Jackson are more than making up for my lack of a top QB.

Thankfully having a top QB is making up for my complete lack of everything else. 

I got autodrafted Peyton and Orton...... my title of QB cancer remains unchallenged.  Place your bets on how long until Cams season ending injury  :oh_i_see:

Yes the rest of my team sucks too.

Having the #1 points against isn't helping me in the JV league.  My team isn't very good, however, and I can blame most of that on really bad drafting.  Risky picks turned out to be risky, and I badly mismanaged when I picked my QB.  I could have gotten another good skill player before I got him and he still would have been available.

Regular league is going fine, obviously. Second most points.  Second place.  Average team that's bolstered by solid RB play and mediocre if steady WR play.

Ah, so I have you this weekend. One must fall.

Fred Jackson is the number 1 RB so far and the guy was drafted well after round 2 in most leagues.  That's what makes this fun.

Heh, I got him in round 10. Way after my first RB pick with DeAngelo Williams in the 4th round. :uhrr:

Jermichael Finley's two dropped passes kept me from a win in JV this week. <shakes fist>

If Forte scores once touchdown I'm beat.

Won't happen. I'm a victim of Chicago's success.

:grin:

I want whoever I'm playing this week to enjoy the bye.  I'm stuck with a choice between Christian Ponder and Carson Palmer as my QB.  Ugh. 

I had basically half my team on a bye, so I had to make a few moves (which I hope don't end up blowing up in my face).  I have the likes of Jay Cutler, Devin Hester (also have Forte, but he fucking rocks) Mike Thomas and Marshawn Lynch starting for me this week.  Should be pretty sweet.

Nebu - I thought Carson wasn't even going to play this week.  And if Ponder is your only other choice, surely there is another scrub you can pick up instead?

Matt Cassell.  Meh. 

Fucking Jets Defense went big and cost me. I knew it when they were playing Miamuh that things could get ugly.

JV League: I'm the Grover City Crows. Sorry for not posting much... I've been incredibly busy. So busy, in fact, that I missed the draft. (I was at a beer fest.)

In any case... I find myself needing a WR, and would be open to a trade. I've got more RBs than slots, so that could be a good starting point.

Trade offer sent.

Damn, I'm being monkeyhandled by Arian Foster and Wafflebagger this week.

I will only likely win due to 44 points from Mr Brees.  I still need a handfull from Jones-Drew to beat you.

One of those career days for Foster. Big Ben is good every other game.

I like your chances.  I also have no right to complain about Brees.  I've been riding the Brady train all season.

So, trotski neglected to play a defense against me this week (his regular was on bye). I still lost by .31 points. This is officially the shittiest fantasy season I have ever had across all my teams. Sigh.

The WayAbvPar Dolpcolts

Both my JV and regular games will come down to the Ravens tonight. I'm 4 points up in the f13 league with Baltimore's defense against the Jags's shitty offense vs. Ed Dickson and Ray Rice against the Jags shitty defense. The JV league requires that Ed Dickson score less than 8 points. I almost want to watch the game because of it, but really, this game will be ugly.

I knew Boller was bad, but I wasn't expecting him to be so bad as to manage to kill his running back.    :oh_i_see: 

You're probably safe with Dickson - After blowing up Pittsburgh in Game 1, Baltimore has once again forgotten how to throw to tight ends that aren't named Heap. 

Who is Team Guybrush?

I'm coming for you this week!  :hulk_rock:

My boys are well on the way to respectability!

Yahoo! has a feature where I could connect all the past seasons of the league to this league.  If you click the All Time link at the top of the league rankings it will show the top 3 for the past seasons as well as you personal standing if you played that year.

Wow, with the exception of last year, 2009, and 2003, I have hovered consistently in the middle of the pack.

The last two years I've been awful. The years before that I hit 3rd twice.

This year, Arian Foster leads me to the promised land!

I've been in the league 2 years.  First one year, last the next.  I'm bipolar.

I believe Sauced and I are the only 2 time winners.

3rd to 7th to 4th to 2nd to 6th to 1st to 11th to 7th to utter vomit this season. Yes, you could say I am schizophrenic. And in dire need of a a decent season next year.

Mediocrity every year except 2004 when I won the whole damn thing. Last year I led throughout the whole season with a weak team that benefited from playing against people with weak schedules and got stomped in the first round of the playoffs.

Rest of the time is everything from 10th - 6th place.

Except when I WON IT ALL in '04 with McNabb, Darrell Jackson and Issac Bruce as my leading point getters...   :why_so_serious:

My winning team last year is LOL worthy.  Just bad.

Oh god, in '06 I won with Matt Leinart, after McNabb got hurt, again.  But that team had a solid RB tandem, Boldin, and Baltimore D.

Wow looks like I only do decent every other year, and on those off years I'm pretty much last.  6th, 11th, 4th, 12th, 3rd and...... well that doesn't bode well for this year.  Wonder how my jv teams stack up. 

Ohh, fuck you, Marion Barber.  Fantasy football vampire. You're ruining a perfectly good Monday night comeback.   :tantrum:

Nebu and I are going right down to the wire it seems.

EDIT: Wire meaning not close at all. :oh_i_see:

How is my team in second place? What have you people all gone soft on me?

Phillip Rivers becoming the Amazing Turnover-a-Tron? Malcolm Floyd and Felix Jones being fragile China Dolls point sinks?

That's why you hire the unbreakable rapist as your QB.

Personally I am blaming the shittastic Yahoo Flash code that prevented me from getting into the draft until AFTER I autodrafted Chris Johnson  :oh_i_see:

I have a Win 3 streak and I am 5-4.  I suck.

Yikes, Yahoo is predicting almost 33 pts for Rodgers this week against the Vikings.  I guess its not crazy since his 9 week average is 30.33!!!!  :ye_gods:

IMPORTANT REMINDER

The moneymaking scheme otherwise known as Thursday night football starts this week.  Be sure to get your rosters and picks straight by tomorrow afternoon.

Thank you for this.  I had completely forgotten.

ON THE BLOCK: I am loaded at RB and weak on receivers.  Willing to trade Frank Gore or Willis McGahee for a legit #1 WR. 

Ah, the good ol' days.

I'm sure it is indeed the moneygrab that everyone makes it out to be, but I never understood why people seem to automatically dislike the Thursday games.  I mean, it's another football game that I get to watch.  I wish they did Fridays and Saturdays, too.

Because not everyone gets the NFL network.  And games on Friday night would screw high schools while Saturdays have traditionally been for college games, which is why the NFL waits for the college regular season to end before adding their Saturday games.

I picked a back week to sit DeMarco Murray.  You're welcome, Haemish. 

Holy shit did I choose wrong between playing Detroit or Chicago on defense today. :ye_gods:

My Fantasy team is going completely down the shitter.  After a 7-1 start, I've lost two in a row.  Scored like 53 points (projected 112!).  I just can't figure out football this year.  So whacky.

I just got Brady-raped in the JV league.  FACK.

Beat murdoc by .71, I hope there are no stat corrections.

So as long as Green Bay and Minnesota both suck tonight, I might actually win my JV game!

In my league, my Chicago defense scored 31 points to lead my team. Hell, Gould got me 16 at kicker. Still lost  :cry:

Sadness is defined by having the Bears Def on the bench last night.  :oh_i_see:

I need the GB Defense to play well tonight, and Aaron Rodgers to hand it off a lot.

You picked a good week to sit him. You can collectively thank the Atlanta defense for focusing on Darren Sproles, the Baltimore defense for forgetting how to play and Philip Rivers for also forgettign how to play. Barring the Jennings/Nelson combo scoring like 80 fucking points tonight, there is no way you can lose.

I should have deleted that post.  I put it on the forums before the rest of my team went off and you were ahead.   Sorry about that. 

Goddamit. My team is horrible. HORRIBLE.

I am on the MOVE, bitches!  Win 4 streak and now in 5th place.

I dub the matchup between the Roosters and my Attack Monkies in Week 11:

THE BATTLE OF THE BYES!  :ye_gods:

I still have no idea, other than Haemish, which team belongs to whom.  Each week I play some random owner.  I need clarity!

I have no idea who'd be running a team with a Monkey Island name.   :why_so_serious:

Looks like I get to play without a team defense this week.  Every defense on the wire looks like it could potentially cost me negative points.

Great, I get the Brady/Gronk combo this week as well.  Fantastic.

Don't hate me.  I picked up Gronk off the waiver wire.

I found this hard to believe so I looked. Denver is a good bet to have at least positive points.  Sanchez can always shit on himself and throw some picks and the Jets aren't likely to score more than 30.

I grabbed Jacksonville.  While they just lost a key CB, they are playing Cleveland. 

I was going to offer to trade you a D, but saw that A) you had picked one up, and B) that you were 7-3. Screw you and your not terrible team!  :drill:

I finished last a year ago.  It's all smoke and mirrors. 

Where's Gallo?

I see your Tyler Palko and raise you JAY MOTHERFUCKING CUTLER!

BATTLE OF THE BYE WEEKS!

Oh yeah well I'm starting 2 KC running backs this week.  I'm not 10th place for nothing.

Thanks a lot Shonn Greene. If you have anything less than a busted rib, I'm dropping you from my team for being a giant pussy.

Ha I have Greene in JV.  :awesome_for_real: FuckyouGreeneyou     piece     of    shit.

I'm in last place.

I figured I would lose this week because my best two players are on a bye, but then most of Gallo's guys are on a bye and gave me hope.

Greene gives me less hope. Less hope indeed.

I'm almost too embarrassed to admit that I started Sanchez over Rivers this week because he's been outperforming the starter nearly every week. How could I go wrong against the Broncos & Rivers looks like he's battling injuries. Uggghh I should have known.

There are so many teams and the roster is too large in one of my other leagues that with Schaub out I'm resting my hopes on Colt McCoy. :ye_gods:

What an awful week. It's just horrible games as far as the eye can see.

Win 5 in a row coming for me (Spartacus Lover).

Greene hurt his ribs, but nothing was broken (http://espn.go.com/newyork/conversations/_/id/7248544/new-york-jets-shonn-greene-hurts-rib-x-ray-negative)

Are you fucking kidding me Shonn Greene? You left the game because you hurt your ribs? As a running back in the NFL?!? That's worthless. I'm dropping you immediately and picking up anyone on the waiver wire that has an actual jock.

JAY CUTLER!  :why_so_serious:

EDIT: 5 in a row!

Grats to Guybrush and the Invalids who also clinched last week for the playoffs.

Fucking New England and KC defenses. Wes Welker getting bupkiss and KC's offense doing dick made sure I took the loss in the JV team. Now I'm one spot out of the playoffs in both leagues but playing against teams either directly above or below me the next two weeks.

I'd also like to congratulate Team Guybrush.  He crushed me this week despite a poor performance from Forte.  Now I need to find a win somewhere or I'll miss the playoffs!

I almost got Gronk'd again. 

I hate this game.

I wonder if there is a bottom to this long, painful dive I am taking.  Started 7-1 and was in clear command.  Lost the last three, and the immediate future looks terrible....injuries to both my quarterbacks, and underperforming shitheels on the rest of the roster.  Play Lagarrette Blount one week and he stinks up the fucking place.  Bench him the next week and he tears it up.  Same with Cedric Fucking Benson.  God damn inconsistent motherfuckers.  Hakeem Nicks is completely worthless.  Maclin loses both his own games and mine at the same time.  Even Baltimore's defense has turned shitty in terms of point scoring.  The only great player week in and week out has been Matt Forte.  If Martz could figure out how to get him in the endzone, he would be amazing.

This is karma paying me back for ensuring I picked Vick with my #1.

Damn I got rolled.  I think the Rooster dream is done this year.  With Schaub on IR, I'm sporting the 2-headed Palko/Leinhart QB monster.  That + Adrian Peterson being out is gonna be hard to recover from. 

Fred Jackson fffuuu.

At least I get Andre Johnson back this week.

Matt. Leinart.

Why do you hurt me? :cry:

Making a run, I am.  W-6!

I got smoked this week. Tom Brady had too easy of an opponent.

I think murdoc is throwing games because he thinks it will give him the #1 draft pick next year. :why_so_serious:

Thank god I didn't lose to murdoc.. that would have been embarrassing.  I think whomever finishes last has to use their first pick and draft Luck next year.

Suck for Luck?

I can't win when my team all gets positive points, how am I supposed to when my QB gets -2.8.

This is by FAR the worst FF team I have ever had.

Me too. L-4!  Can I go from 6-2 to no playoffs?  Very possible with a likely drubbing from Nebu coming up this week.

Totally fucked in the main league, but I have a chance to be in the playoffs on the JV league based on the game between Like a Boss and SMG. GO SMG!

Hey, fuck you, buddy.

As for main league: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9mFZq-JMfs

edit: Forte's injury has kind of fucked my playoff run.  Well, Cutler's injury was already contributing to that. Forte had been useless lately.

Why is Joe Perry playing guitar in the desert with Nelly?  :headscratch:

Yep, I got fucked in the JV League too. My record of mediocrity continues!

Oh thank God this is over.

Horrible right from the draft to the end. Thanks to the Jesters for letting me get ONE win this year.

Brutal.

Glad I could help  :oh_i_see:

Don't mind me, just enjoying my share of the basement.

No way Nebu beats me two weeks in a row.

(well, not by 53 again, right?)

We let 8 people in the playoffs? WTF? I thought we had byes and a means for me to not have to lose first round to a 5-8 team.

You thought wrong!

I'd bet on you as well.  I have terrible luck in the playoffs.

Apparently.  We're worse than the NBA.

Bitching aside, my matchup isn't bad. I do have the possibility of getting Teb-owned, however.  And there are a few subs I can make, especially on defense.  Whenever I pick up a defense, they tend to get blown up.  :oh_i_see:

If you lose to Rex Grossman in the playoffs, you're getting relegated to the JV league next year.  No pressure.

I'm doing well in the Pick 'Em group, but damn, this is like the third year in a row I've been in the bottom 1/3rd of the JV league.  :why_so_serious:

That's the way we roll. Give all the scrappers a chance!  Once again, we can revisit next year.  It really depends on how many teams we have.

I'm pretty sure my team maxed out with the 95 points last week.

Don't worry, I'm sure I won't get close to 100 again!

Well I'm boned. Big Ben looks like he just twisted his entire ankle around backwards and left the game before halftime.

EDIT: Or, against all expectations, he limps back into the game for the second half and throws a 79 yard TD pass  :awesome_for_real:

That dude's tough.

Welp...

Maurice Jones-Drew. :angryfist:

Second week in a row where playing Stafford over Brees was a bad call.  Still, MJD carries me on his back to the 2nd round of the playoffs.

I'm going to escape by the skin of my teeth and make it to the second round!  :awesome_for_real:

Eli laying an egg and the Brees v. the Vikings is sinking me hard.  BLEH.

I have Eli in JV... after going 7 straight to take first and getting the bye, I'm going to lose out. :(

Brees is just crazy fantasy goodness.   :heart:

I need a shutout out of SF tonight and a lot of good FGs from SF to win.

If SF is shutout, how can they get FG's?

Sorry, the DEFENSE for SF needs to shut out the Steelers. You know what I mean, you can see the matchup you rogue!

Am I playing you this week?  NO ONE HAS THEIR FUCKING NAME IN THEIR TEAM TITLE!!!!!!  :ye_gods:

Who the hell did you think the Attack Monkies was?

Someone that can't spell "monkeys?"

Mickey Dolenz?

 
:Love_Letters:

Nebu, this game is going to be close.

Congrats to Sparticus on an excellent season in the main league. 

Grats to you for 2nd! Grats to me for 3rd!

Everyone else, no trophies for joo!

I kinda forgot I was playing in the 3rd place match.  Wouldn't have mattered, subs did nothing.


Won JV league.  GO ME.

Come on Binary guy...you were supposed to pick the Patriots and enable my come-from-behind upset!  How could you possibly pick the Giants to win the SB, are you dumb or something?   :awesome_for_real:

Actually kinda funny how we all picked them to win.

I don't know what the hell Vegas was thinking.  The Giants had been playing great football going into the post season, and were healthy while the Pats had a suspect D, no pass rush, and an injured Gronk.

You must know this but "Vegas" is not some super brain.  The odds reflect, to some extent if not completely, what the bets are.

It came down to which had a better D for me.  :heart:
