Yahoo Fantasy Football 07/08

[Paelos]

I withdraw my previous comment in light of a 35 point defense performance. 

Wow, losing by half a point. That's a new one for me.

[Rasix]

If I didn't win $52 this week and regain the lead in my Vegas picks group (around a $900 payout), I'd be pretty pissed about this FF season is going so far. 

It wouldn't surprise me to lose due to Parker + PK getting 24 points.  It would, however, be more appropriate for both of my teams to have 4-5 records because they both equally suck.  Goddamn, I thought I was going to lose Ocho Cinco in the other league once he went down.  It would only be appropriate.   And what the fuck happened with Dwayne Bowe? Did he miss the plane or something?

[MrHat]

So, did we do any sort of trading in this league that I didn't notice?

How boring.

[Murgos]

Places 1-4 are all tied for record though Makin' it RAIN has a pretty solid lead of 50 points at number 1.  This next week is going to be rough for me, 4 starter offensive players on bye and there is a good chance that Shaun Alexander will not play, or only get limited time next weekend due to injury (an optimistic 50%).

Anyone want a newly hot and active Drew Brees in exchange for RB I can feel safe starting next week?

[MrHat]

Yes.

[Murgos]

Deal.

[murdoc]

Deal.

SERIOUS!?

Brees and Alexander for Watson and Cutler? SERIOUS?

Jesus fuck.

edit: Ok, after actually looking at your teams, I guess it's not as crazy as I originally thought. Still, Brees is finally starting to produce and I'm always leary about trading away first round picks, especially for waiver wire pickups.

[Rasix]

 

[HaemishM]

Alexander is likely to miss at least a week with injuries, as is Culter. Watson is playing while Rudi Johnson has been injured, and Johnson is sucking when he does get carries. And as was said, Brees is coming out of his funk that fucked me so hard early. Hell, I'd take Brees now, as I continue to flail around for SOMEONE who can stay healthy and not throw 5 INT's a game.

[Murgos]

Pretty sure you can vote against the trade.  You want in on that deal?  Ixnay the adetray and cough it up.

Otherwise I'm not too concerned about trading away two players that don't really contribute to my team unless it's a heavy bye week for two other players who are only going to contribute on a heavy bye week.

[cmlancas]

Heh. In the other league I picked up Brees for a song from Haemish. In a flurry of moves, it ended up being:

From Me:                  for         From Them:
Eli Manning                            Marvin Harrison
Julius Jones                           Brandon Marshall
 

<3

[HaemishM]

Eli's been the only good thing I got out of that trade, and really, I expected that. I didn't expect Brees to get back on his feet, other than the usual cynicism that says that if I let him go, he'll go win the MVP award afterwards.

[murdoc]

At least it wouldn't have made a difference, I would have lost either way, but I was sooo goddamn happy to see that I didn't adjust my roster this week and left Steven Jackson and all his points on the bench.

[MrHat]

Figures, the second time I don't play McNabb he throws another 4 TD's.

[Paelos]

At this stage in the game, a win is a win and I don't care if I only needed 78 points to get it.

[HaemishM]

This season in the NFL just confounds me. Totally baffled from week to week. Manning throws up 6 INT's and Vinatieri MISSES not one but TWO chip shot field goals. At least Reggie Wayne still had a big day, or I'd have likely been fucked. I swear, I'm going to audition every shitty QB in the league before it's over.

[Phildo]

I'd be happy to let you take Daunte Culpepper off my bench for me.

[HaemishM]

When he's considered an actual upgrade instead of a sideways slide into hell, yeah, I'll take you up on that. 

[MrHat]

Did anyone else notice the crazy 6-4?

[Sauced]

When we all noticed the crazy 6-9 bye weeks on our rosters, we knew it would be bad.  But not this bad.

But, hey, don't look now, but my decision to draft Roethlistberger and Moss has me right back in this thing.

[MrHat]

Ya, no kidding, Ben is picking it up.

But seriously, there's practically a 7-way tie for first place @ 6-4.

[Paelos]

So you're saying there's a chance for me to make the playoffs! 

[HaemishM]

There's a chance for anyone to make the playoffs. Except maybe Sigil.

It's like we're the NFC.

[Phildo]

I hardly doubt I'm looking at the required minimum 3-game winning streak required to make it.  Best of luck to the rest of you, though =)

[WayAbvPar]

I am firmly convinced that if Mike Nolan's dad were still alive, he would have contacted Mike and told him to KICK A FUCKING FIELD GOAL when his shitty team miraculously found itself in range. Instead, he died the day before the game, which caused his son to go for it at every opportunity. This caused his team to be shutout, which in turn caused me to lose my game against trotski by less than 2 points. Which will cost me a six pack of Snow Cap to pay off our side bet.


And you people wonder why I think the universe is out to fuck me over at every turn.

[HaemishM]

And you people wonder why I think the universe is out to fuck me over at every turn.

Well, you ARE a Seahawks fan.

[Phildo]

Didn't they used to have a good running back?

[WayAbvPar]

Didn't they used to have a good running back?

He was pretty good until his catastrophic labia injury.

[Paelos]

So my team actually played well, and I should have won that game because the other team underperformed... on everyone except Randy Moss and his ungodly 41 points for a WR.

That hurt.

[MrHat]

When are the playoffs?

[Paelos]

When are the playoffs?

Why you got to be like that? 

[MrHat]

I don't want to play Mr. 1200+.

[Sauced]

Amateur Musicians 111.76    Final
Makin' it RAIN   111.72


 

[Rasix]

Hahahahaha. Those of us in this league for the last few years know how much Way loves head to head.  High scoring teams that lose.. he's got it down to a science.

[WayAbvPar]

I wish I could say I was surprised. Happens every year. Gonna be even worse this year- with all the parity and my recent injuries, I have a good chance of being the highest scoring team and missing the playoffs completely.
