....that's why I drafted McNabb

And that's why you're not winning this year...

I love your avatar.

I'm killing Sh*tty Beatles in week #1, that much I know.

I may even deactivate all my players but the defense for this week to show how easy it will be (Ravens vs. KC). I'll get 25 points just from the D.

Thanks Tom

Guys, I am heading out on vacation for the week. I'll be at League 2 draft, but otherwise won't be on much. If you need me send me an email through the forum.

Cowboys looked pretty decent tonight.

A punter actually hit the scoreboard in the new stadium tonight, but I'm not sure why. He was at his own 30 and punting it straight up. On the next kick he actually went more for distance than height and got a good punt off. Stupid kickers trying to make a highlight real by acting the fool.

Have fun!!


Little softball update. We won our first game tonight with another walk-off homer. We went into extra innings, they got a run and then we were up. One guy got on, the next guy got out. Then the guy batting in front of me (different guy tonight) drilled one over the center field fence. Score was 12-11.

Second game we beat the other team by 12 runs. Third game was a little closer, but we won fairly handily (by 6).

Fourth game was the beginning of the championship game. The other team hadn't lost int he tourney, so we had to beat them twice. We won the first game by 4. They came out hot in the second game. They were up by 14 after 3 innings. They had a big fourth inning, and were up 22-3 in the 5th inning. We scored seven runs in our half of the 5th inning, but there is a 10 run mercy rule so we lost the game.

We just ran out of gas. We literally had 4 guys playing with pulled hamstrings. One guy was so bad (the same guy that hit the big homer last night) that he about got thrown out from left field, but he still hit 6 of 8 after the injury. The other 3 guys could run, but it was really more of a brisk jog and they couldn't make any cuts.

Great season though, and great bunch of guys.

Anyways, back to the smack talk!

Wait, who drafted the Steeler's D in the 1st or 2nd round again? I forget.

I'm going to make an "Epic Fail, Rookie Mistake" trophy for last place and go ahead and send it to you.

Who was that idiot? Man that dude must have been drunk! That's a real Schlump!

Anybody catch Felix and Martellus last night? My fantasy team is looking pretty solid even on the later picks.

Sounds like fun - congrats on the season. My buds and I are still playing hockey, but we gave up ball a few years back. Too many rips, pulls and strains. I miss it - lots of laffs - especially the smack talk on your own teammates. That was the best.

Cheers !

We'll see how that all pans out for the regular season!

Thanks! I'm a hurting unit, but I feel better than I though I would this morning. Long couple of weeks of games, and I think I did something to my achilles tendon about a month ago. Its been pretty sore for 4-5 days after our games. It'll be nice to be able to heal up a for a while.

If he did it on purpose, he may have done it to make a point. If a punter can hit that thing, they could very well change the outcome of the game by just hitting it over and over again until the clock runs out.

It sounds like someone punting from near mid-field might hit the thing inadvertently when trying to get some good hang-time and pinning the opposing team near the goal-line.

The Jerry-Tron might become an issue this season. I can't imagine the NFL not requiring them to raise it up, even though Jerry doesn't think he should have to (except when U2 comes to town:lol. A scoreboard should not have a direct impact on a game, and this certainly could.

Off the subject, I got my nerve up to try the copperhill method for the sensor. It looks clean and I don't think I broke anything. This is the first time my sensor has been cleaned. (20D)
