Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops

[shilala]

I created a Yahoo League, it's mostly default, but I adjusted the scoring for high points and maximum fun.
Only ten players.
Buy in will be five premiums ($40.00 value, NC and/or CC) and a fiver for the troops.
Payout will be 30 smokes to first place, 20 for second place, and 50 smokes to the troops.
I can take care of receiving/sending smokes, I've done it a couple times before.
I will personally put together a fiver for the winner of the playoff loser's bracket as an incentive to keep everyone involved. If anyone wants to offer any other bonus prizes, that would kick ass. Maybe something such as "fiver for highest score for week six" or something like that.
Or "beat me this week, and I'll send a fiver to the troops".
The key is generosity, banter, and fun. The more prizes, the more fun it'll be. The more smokes we can gather for the troops, the more fun it will be.

Live Draft will be Saturday September 4th at 8:00pm. If you can't attend, your players will be picked for you by yahoo in the order of player ranking.

Only ten guys will be playing, I'll send invites to those who sign up.

Please give a lot of thought to the "extra" prizes. Not to belabor the point, but this league is gonna cost you some smokes if it's going to be successful, especially for the troops. So take that into consideration very seriously.
If you're a gamer, you could end up buying a number of bundles for the troops if you lose weekly bets. Or you could end up making us other knuckleheads buy lots of smokes for the troops.
It's gonna take up some of your time, and a good amount of smack talking.
I'll create a banter thread once we get all signed up and get the league going.
I honestly think this will be the funnest league EVER!!!

I'll kick this off with the following bonus prize challenge:


All league members who participate LIVE in the draft next Saturday, not auto-picking, will receive one ticket from me for the Aristocrat Raffle currently being run by BazookaJoe & PapaJohn. That's right, all you have to do is show up live so I can talk smack to you online next Saturday, and I'll buy you an entry into the raffle.

I even put it on my calendar so I don't forget.
Be warned, the draft module is flash, so we can't draft via iphone or iPad, Vin. I just realized that yesterday cause we tried to do a football draft on my iPad.
Well done, Vin. :tu

[jkim05]

What do the rosters look like right now? Since there's only 10 teams, any thoughts to making this a deeper league so we have to take some gambles on longer shots? Is this gonna be ppr?

[shilala]

Jeremy, I'll send out invites to the guys who have already signed up as soon as I get a chance. That way you all can preview league rules before the draft. We gotta hustle and get three more guys.
My thinking was 10 guys, wide open scoring, and plenty of Free Agents to fill a decimated roster. That way it'll force guys to stay on top of their teams to be competitive.
It'll also allow guys to look at their head to head weeks and get pretty cocky. That'll generate even more side bets, and/or opportunity to lure guys into stuff like "beat me this week, I buy the troops a bundle, lose, you buy it."
If the league gets deeper, it makes it hard for teams to score big points. In twelve man leagues, if one team keeps four studs healthy all year, they win, and there's no possible way for a guy with an injured marquee RB and QB to compete.
This way, everyone who watches their weekly matchup can tweak their team and pick up what they think they need to kick ass.
That make sense from that angle?
I know it's a lot different than twelve team leagues.

[shilala]

Here's a couple more incentives...
Number eight spot is up. I'll donate a fiver of Calle Ocho's to the high point winner of week eight when we get our eighth guy, and a fiver of Anejo 46's for the high scorer of week ten (cause 4 and six equals ten) when we get our tenth guy. :tu

Sounds good, but what do you mean by wide open scoring? Also, by deeper I was thinking more roster spots, not more people playing, but I'm down with whatever. I thought it might be fun to play with starters than usual. Either way, we need a couple more, hurry up and get in here.

I took a lot of the negative points out of the default scoring and added positions like you mentioned. I'll look at it and add more, if it makes sense. :tu

Bump!

Ok, wasn't sure if that's what you meant. I can imagine some insanity happening too. Can't wait for football season to start.

My first extra
A 5er to the ONE Player who drafts the most Cleveland Browns on their team
If no Browns are drafted the 5er goes to the troops
If 2 or more players are tied the Troops get 10

[AndyMadera]

Whats the team format going to look like? I would like to know a little ahead of time to do a little comparison. It is important to know if it will be a PPR and what is lost for fumbles/INTs.

Okay, gentlemen, I'll send the registration link to everyone when I get home from my doctor appointment. I want to be here to answer questions if it doesn't work. :D

[shilala]

I sent the link to everyone for signup. I'm leaving soon, so if you pm me, please be patient.
Also, will someone please tell me what ppr is?

[massphatness]

point per reception -- ours seems to be this type of league: 1 point for each reception.

[GreekGodX]

I signed up :)

[shilala]

point per reception -- ours seems to be this type of league: 1 point for each reception.
Yes, and a point for every ten yards.
I readjusted the defense points so you really, really have to have a bad week to lose points of D.
I'd like to tweak a couple scoring settings cause I just looked at them again and I missed removing the "fumbles lost" negative points.
I can look at adding a roster position like Jeremy mentioned.
I can't find my way in to change settings and I have to leave. I'll mess with it when I get home. :tu

[shilala]

I finished what I hope are the final tweaks.
I made a Commish Note.
The only other thing I'd like to suggest is that we use our screen names here for our team names. It'd be SO much easier to figure out who we're playing week to week.
Or at least add your username to your "team slogan" or in your smack talk.
I'm gonna change mine now if I can figure out how.

[jonumberone]

Banter here or on the league message board?

[shilala]

Banter here or on the league message board?
It doesn't really matter, cause you're gonna lose.
Aside from that, here would be good. Then we can use the league boards to post the prizes and stuff?
Hell, I don't know. Ask Vinnie.

[massphatness]

Bantering here means I have to check fewer web sites.

It's all about me, ya' know?

[jonumberone]

It doesn't really matter, cause you're gonna lose.

Mark your calendars
Make your travel arrangements
Get your tickets now
Because the Jerks are going to the Bowl Baby:banger

[shilala]

Who didn't get signed up yet? George and Coach?
I shouldn't be impatient, I'm shocked that 8 guys are signed up already. :D

[Coach Deg]

Working late and Rays were on a homestand. Should have time tonight. I will be in by and ranked by Saturday. Not sure if I'll be online for draft. I guess doesn't really matter though, because Vin's going to win anyway!

[massphatness]

You are wise, sir.

[jonumberone]

You are wise, sir.

Waht are you some kind of Guru?;)

[massphatness]

Only in my mind. :D

[jonumberone]

Perhaps its your celebrity status that has everyone nervous?

[Coach Deg]

Is this a live draft or does it go strickly off rankings? How would it work if I was not on and already had 2 QB's but my next 4 ranked players wer QB's? Would I end up with 6?
I usually never miss a draft, but making wife go to a High School football game Friday night have to take her out Saturday night.

Live draft and I believe your scenario is correct although you might be able to find addt'l info on the Yahoo site itself.

After you rank your players enter a mock draft before the official one. change draft order from yahoo default to your rankings. when the time comes don't make a selection, let the 2min clock wind down and yahoo will select for you based on how you ranked players. You can watch along or they will just send you an email with a breakdown of the fake draft. Run it about half a dozen times between then and now and you will get an idea of what the AI of the system will do in those situations.

I'm signing up today Scott. I tried doing it last night on my BB while I was smoking a cigar in my lounge chair in the backyard but I don't think it "took" and I wasn't that motivated to start up the computer and get it done. :D

Hope to "see" a bunch of you guys there, although I'm quite familiar with scenarios where the wife/girlfriend may not let you take your balls from her purse. (I'll be ball-less tonite, for example ...)

[jonumberone]

Looks like everyone signed up.:tu

Will we have a predetermined draft order or Yahoo random?

[shilala]

Jon, try a mock draft. It'll help a lot.
Yahoo gives you a list that you can sort by Yahoo rank, average pick, or by position player. Then you can slide players over to "your queue" and wait for your turn to draft.
There's all sorts of stuff to check out. Try the mock if you have time. It'll help. Scott came down and we did one together cause he's never drafted in yahoo, just espn. He liked it, and caught on real quick. It's really pretty simple. :tu

[jonumberone]

Thanks Scott!

I was asking if you will be picking who gets what draft position or will yahoo do it?

[shilala]

Thanks Scott!

I was asking if you will be picking who gets what draft position or will yahoo do it?
I see. :)
Yahoo picks the draft order. It works kinda neat. It goes 1-10, then the tenth guy gets the 11th pick and it goes backwards till it gets to the first guy, then the first guy gets the next pick and it goes to the tenth, and so on.
It evens things up pretty good. :tu

[AndyMadera]

less than 24 hours to go until you can all concede.

[AndyMadera]

that was supposed to be smack talk hehe. Dont tell me the silence means you give up BEFORE the draft!

[sofaman]

Just 13 hrs to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[massphatness]

that was supposed to be smack talk hehe. Dont tell me the silence means you give up BEFORE the draft!

they're all aquiver with fear, andy

speaking of smack talk -- i hope we all visit this thread often during the course of the season to talk smack; fo r me, it's half the fun. the other half being whipping people's asses in the league.

[jonumberone]

Hopefully smack talk amps up after the teams are selected and games begin!!

[jonumberone]

A 5er to the ONE Player who drafts the most Cleveland Browns on their team

Don't forget my offer tonight!

Anyone want to take Jake Delhomme for the win?
Rank him high!!

[shilala]

It's a good thing I checked this thread. I mentioned to Lisa that my draft was tomorrow night at 8. She said "that's tonight, honey."
I've been sick the last two days, we expect it's strep. I don't know what strep is, so I just ignored it. It's kinda cool, I can't remember the last two days.
Point being, I'm done sweating now.
It'd be a good time for you mooks to start. :tu

[awsmith4]

Son of a *****!

My wife just called and her ride home from work tonight canceled on her and needs me to pick her at...8 :bh

I may make it back before it is over but for now I have set my picks so I hope it nets me a good team

[shilala]

I'm gonna be there. I'm wearing Lisa's underwear for good luck.
Vin, you gonna make it?

[jonumberone]

I'm in baby!!

I should have paid more careful attention to the rules of your contest. I wouldn't have chosen an IR'd Brownie with my last pick to give me two (and the outright win). That way the troops would have gotten 10. :bh

I will forgo my winnings and ask that you donate them to the troops instead.

:tu

[Coach Deg]

I would like to make a suggestion- Instead of us shipping all kinds of cigars all over why don't we keep a running tab here on the board and on the Yahoo site. Then send them out after like week 8 and again at the end. The money saved in shipping each week could just be thrown in the box to help ship to the troops. Ideas?

Next How about a one cigar to the troops per transaction fee?

Next an Arrest pool? If anyone has a player get arrested everyone sends him 2 sticks and he has to send 5 to the troops?

Vin I'll bet you 2 sticks for the troops I have a higher score then you week 1!!!

I'd get in on the arrest pool.
I'd also try to get all the bets, sidebets, and all that stuff in one post and keep it updating and being added to. That way we have all our bullsh!t in one spot and everyone can watch what's going on.
I suppose I'll have to put that together, but guys can add to it as we go.

I'll let you go ahead and look at your team, and then you can use your one and only guarantee retraction for the season.
I think everyone should only get one guarantee retraction this season. Except George. He can have all he wants.

Are we doing a 1 troop stick per transaction?
Naw, I don't think that's necessary, and it's kinda rulesy.
Let's try to keep this as simple as possible. We're gonna raise plenty of sticks for the troops, I guarantee. :D
(You can take that guarantee to the bank. Broadway Vinnie's guarantees, well...)

[jkim05]

Hey I was there for the draft.

[jonumberone]

Football's no fun without a little action!

I got a 5er for the week one starting kicker who scores the most points
If I win 5er goes to the troops
If 2 or more are tied 10 to the troops

[massphatness]

Hey I was there for the draft.

For the draft this past Saturday? The system showed you as being on auto-pick from what I remember. You and I are in another league together that drafted Monday, and you were "live" at that one. Any chance you're thinking of Monday's draft?

If it's my mistake, I'll do what I can to make it right.

[jonumberone]

For the draft this past Saturday?.

The draft was Sat night, as previosly stated by Vin :tu

[massphatness]

That's what I said, Dom -- stop screwing with me! :D

Saturdays draft... Oh... I'll leave now... Lol.

Too many drafts, I guess they started to blend together.

[jonumberone]

Anyone else have starters going tonight?

I got Brees and Colston going!
Every TD hook up is 12 pts BABY :banger

I think you get a point for the reception and completion, too. :D
That's like 14 points a TD hookup.
Unless you wanna donate those two points to Vin. He's gonna need them.

[jonumberone]

Even better :tu

[shilala]

I'm glad I sat Shiancoe down to help out Vinnie. I hope Vernon Davis gets it done. It kinda sucks to have two awesome tight ends. :D

My buddies in Minneapolis say Shank Dog is poised for a HUGE year. Thanks for the reprieve.

I'm taking a big chance with Palmer at New England and Andre at Indy.
Gotta go with your gut. I will now double dog guarantee a week one win. :su

Shiancoe is set to have a monster year with Sydney Rice out.
VD will implode by week 4.

Actually, Palmer @ NE is the match-up that scares me as I think he'll shred the Pats paperthin defense. They are bottom 10 in the NFL this year. Bunch of young pups and nothing in the secondary.

My option was Eli at Carolina. Eli always starts slow. I watched zero pre-season, but my Jimmy The Greek pick for the year is Palmer. I'm gonna ride that horse right into the ground. :D

I've got a ten pack of troop smokes that says Andy gets spanked this week. I'm betting on Albert. Any balls out there?

With just Brees alone you could probably pull it off, but you also have Colston playing. I would love to take the bet but I have Brees and Pierre Thomas playing in another league and I'd rather not root against them. I'll watch this one from the sideline :)

I updated the list as best I could. If anyone else has had any action that I missed, please fix it up. Also, I can see the format of our "keep track" thing sucks, and the current suckage will only be dwarfed as the season goes on.
If anyone wants to rebuild it or improve on it, please be my guest. :D

[shilala]

I posted this at the League site, but figured it best to post here as well...

I meant to change the waivers to instant when I set up, then I wanted to make a post this weekend that I was gonna change it, and I forgot cause I've been out of town.
Being as I just drafted three guys, it wouldn't be fair for me to do it now.
There's no reason to wait till Tuesday night for players to clear waivers. It will negate waiver priority though, which was my intent.
My thinking behind this is that you'll be able to pick up guys while you're watching the games on the weekend, especially if you get a "hunch", see an injury that's gonna push a guy to first team, etc...
You can beat other guys to the punch, making it that much more fun, and require that much more attention, which was also my initial intent.
I want this thing wide open and balls out, and want guys excruciatingly involved.
I just want everyone to know I'm changing that setting the next time I think about it, sometime after Tuesday at midnight, so prepare to be on your toes, and DO NOT rely on your waiver priority from Wednesday on.
God Bless,
The Management :)

However Your boast of being able to score 180 points has inspired me to put up 18 sticks to your 10.

As a side note:
Vin get that first win outta the way this week
Hate to see you open 0-4 :2
Game on, scro. Welcome to hell. :hn

[shilala]

A note on the waivers thing...
A few guys that were dropped prior to the change are still on waivers. I think I can manually release them, but I have to look. I'll try to do that tomorrow, maybe even tonight.
Then it should be instant all the time.
It should help a lot if one of your guys is probable and then you find out an hour before game time he can't start. You should be able to grab a free agent and use him immediately. At least that's how I imagine it. :)

[AndyMadera]

Only 2 days left to place bets for this week... Anyone got some in mind?

[AndyMadera]

I would like to bet my Kicker winnings from Jonumberone that "NO"lo "CONTEND"ere will not be the league leader after this match.

[shilala]

I would like to bet my Kicker winnings from Jonumberone that "NO"lo "CONTEND"ere will not be the league leader after this match.
I won't take that bet, but I will bet you a ten pack for the troops that you're full of sh!t. :D
:=:

[AndyMadera]

Name the bet bud, we just today to settle on something!

[shilala]

Name the bet bud, we just today to settle on something!
I'll bet you a ten pack for the troops that nolo hits first place. :tu

[AndyMadera]

I'll bet you a ten pack for the troops that nolo hits first place. :tu

Ill take that bet!

[shilala]

Ill take that bet!
It's lookin a little spooky for ya, my brother.
Ya wanna double down? :D

[AndyMadera]

ill retake the lead sunday!

[shilala]

ill retake the lead sunday!
I got ya for a ten pack last week. I'd be happy to throw down another ten pack of troop smokes that you don't retake the lead this week.
You playin? :D

[AndyMadera]

I cant take that hahaha. There are more scenarios that say I dont end up first and only 1 that says I do.

[AndyMadera]

damn nolo's team is scary...

[jkim05]

I'm getting pwned.

[sofaman]

I have a 5er of troop smokes that says nolo takes his first loss this week any takers?

[awsmith4]

I can't believe I lost by .2 points...oh well on to next week

[AndyMadera]

I can't believe I lost by .2 points...oh well on to next week

Dont worry, Ill get revenge on him this week!

[AndyMadera]

Anyone need some WR? I want 1 or 2 more RB...

[AndyMadera]

Someone needs to tell jkim05 that Jay Cutler is not playing this week... If he does not change that nolo will be a guaranteed 5-0! We cant give him any freebees!

Pierre Thomas is also likely to come back for this game against ARI should be huge!

[Coach Deg]

I'm a little disappointed Andy, you didn't tell me my QB was out! I did look at week 5 as my bad week. So I guess without Brady and Welker I'll be 3-2. Because after all your smack talk it would be embarrassing for you to lose to a team with it's two best players on a bye week.

[AndyMadera]

LOL, Im playing you this week! ;s I cant tell you that! hahah. And everyone should know their bye weeks. Jay Cutler is not playing due to an injury. Something that not everyone might notice.

[AndyMadera]

Actually although Brady is your most important player because how much QBs are getting, he is not your best. Welker is your 2nd to lowest scoring starter on your team. And I think Mark Clayton will out score him by season end. Welker is gonna get ALOT more attention from Defenses with Moss gone. You best hope Tate turns out to be a superstar like I am hoping for being I grabbed him LOL.

Your team order on "Real" Fantasy Value
R. White
D. Clark
A. Bradshaw
M. Forte
M. Clayton
W. Welker (im a fan of Welker so it hurts to see him there)

Once K Moreno is healthy he SHOULD be just under D. Clark or somewhere in the mix with the other RBs

[shilala]

I sent you a trade proposal, Andy.
See what you think. I think I'm screwing myself, but it depends on what you think is gonna happen in the second half, mostly. :tu

[jkim05]

Yeah, I'm on it, just trying to figure out what I want to do. Don't know if Favre+Moss is the solution or if I should look elsewhere. I've had a rough season, but I haven't given up yet. I just need to make the playoffs...

[AndyMadera]

I dont want either of those players and I wont trade Ben. Im looking to trade WRs for RBs. The only RB you have that I want would be SJax

[AndyMadera]

Yeah, I'm on it, just trying to figure out what I want to do. Don't know if Favre+Moss is the solution or if I should look elsewhere. I've had a rough season, but I haven't given up yet. I just need to make the playoffs...

You actually have a pretty good team. Just so far some bad matches. Good grab on Michael Bush I was just about to pick him up. He is a plug and play for this week. If DMC is back to full next week they will surely share. DMC might actually be the no 1 now.

[AndyMadera]

Yeah, I'm on it, just trying to figure out what I want to do. Don't know if Favre+Moss is the solution or if I should look elsewhere. I've had a rough season, but I haven't given up yet. I just need to make the playoffs...

I would play P Thomas over C Williams... Thats me though... I want you to win lol.

And I THINK, that Ryan Mathews will be back to RB No 1 in SD this week. He will most likely score more than M Bush.

[AndyMadera]

Nevermind on P Thomas. He is out most likely.

[shilala]

I gotta get a bet on for this week. I'll lay out a troop fiver, tenner, whatev.
Bring me a bet. :tu

[AndyMadera]

Ill score more points than you this week.

[shilala]

Ill score more points than you this week.

You're on. Wanna make it a troop fiver? I'll double that up if you give me ten points. :D

[AndyMadera]

Deal. Ill spot you 10 points.

[sofaman]

I have a 5er of troop smokes that says Vin goes 0-5 any takers :D

[AndyMadera]

hes gonna keep losing with people like D Aromashadu in, and Ochocino on the bench...

[shilala]

Deal. Ill spot you 10 points.
We're on, my brother!!! :tu

[Coach Deg]

Andy I'll bet you a fiver for the troops on our game!! You confident enough to give me points? Yahoo has you favored by 22.

[AndyMadera]

Andy I'll bet you a fiver for the troops on our game!! You confident enough to give me points? Yahoo has you favored by 22.

I dont really have alot of smokes to do that with. But I would give you 10 points as well for 10 vs my 5 sticks... BUT I cant. I have to be very careful with my budget.

I think I will have the highest score this week over EVERYONE by atleast 10 points. I cant back it up though with sticks.

[AndyMadera]

Let the games begin

[shilala]

I have a 5er of troop smokes that says Vin goes 0-5 any takers :D
You're just bein cruel, lol.
Vinnie is our Detroit Lions. :r

[Coach Deg]

I'm out to an early lead. Not sure if we have a bet but it's still fun to make Andy sweat!!!

[AndyMadera]

No, i just took shililas... I said I cant make more bets. But I want to win bets or not... All i have to say is HOU couching staff is flat out retarded...

[shilala]

No, i just took shililas... I said I cant make more bets. But I want to win bets or not... All i have to say is HOU couching staff is flat out retarded...
I'd ask if you wanna double down, but unless Shonn Greene has a rocket surgically implanted in his ass today, it doesn't look good for ya.

[AndyMadera]

I dont have shonn greene... Its D. Keller... The TE that has been scoring ALOT this season. But with Santonio Holmes playing tonight I do not think he has much of a chance to hit the 22 he needs to win. I figure he needs about 15 for me to safely win this weeks match with RPmark.

You're right, Albert has Greene. Each of you needs 22 points out of your remaining player to beat me this week.
I'm really excited to see this game tonight. It's a real tough one to call. There's no way to tell which Jets will show up, and I'm not sure the old man has enough arm to catch Moss downfield.
I'll be wearing my Farve jersey, pulling for the Vikes. And me. :tu

[AndyMadera]

i bet jets are going to wrech the Viks... They could go all the way this year. finally have a good offense to almost match their defense.

[jonumberone]

After a weeks vacation I'm all set to take on the Titan atop the leaderboard.
And itching to get back in on some action!!
I did all I could to get Vin's goat, and nothing :td
Guess if my team was that bad, I'd stay quiet too ;)
Nolo needs a beating, and I am happy to offer my services to the league:D

[shilala]

I'm going up against Madera this week.
I'm giving up ten points to EVERYONE who's willing to bet a troop fiver on Andy this week.
If that doesn't get some bets up there, nothing will. :D

Unless The Dirty learns to throw the ball with some touch, it'll never happen.
He's still a kid. Ya can't strong-arm everything.
He has two plays. Stand in the pocket and throw the ball at 100mph, or run out of the pocket so he can throw it in the seats.
Mind ya, I'm a big fan of The Dirty. He just ain't ready for post season ball.

They are 4/1 there is no reason for that to slow down. Their defense and no turnovers gives them the chance to inch their way to the top. They are also the 4th highest scoring offense with or without his arm. They can win.

[massphatness]

The losing hasn't been quite painful enough. From this week on, I will donate a 5'er to the troops for every game I lose. :fl

There's two takers. :)
If you come up with any other interesting ideas for bets, Mike, I'll play along.
It makes the weekend more fun.
We're getting a good batch of sticks together for the troops, that's freaking awesome!!!
As soon as I get some brain power going, I'll update the update post.
It'll help guys know what's going on, and maybe it'll help to pm off some bets. :tu

I have a troop 5er that says I take down So Suh Me this weekend

I'll take second position on that bet, just in case Christos wants to come in here and defend his honor. :)

Oh it's on! :su

[Coach Deg]

Scott a troop fiver- winner is whoevers team scores more TD's. Only TD's count and a push we both send 5 to the troops.

LMK if its on!

You're on, brother. :tu
You have to figure out who won though. Just let me know.
I'm gonna try to get our betting board updated. It should be quite a chore since I let it go this long. :D

[AndyMadera]

NO F'n way... Nolo down by 50 looking like he could lose...

Then....

Maclin 1 rec 83 yrds TD = 15.3 points

2 min later

Johnson 1 rec 87 yrds TD = 15.7 points

unbeleiveable...

He most likely wins now

[sofaman]

I think Vin is going to pull out his first win tonight he only needs 21pts from Cris Johnson :tu

[shilala]

To celebrate Vin actually possibly maybe coming close to winning a matchup I'm going to toss in an extra bundle of cigars for the troops.

Scott I guess we split our bets! How could you let him come back like that???????

[shilala]

All I can say is...
I'd like to punch Jacksonville in the face. 30-3? They couldn't even punch in their 4th quarter gimme touchdown.

No matter, the troops win big this week. :tu
Nice move, George!!! Vin pulled out a 1.4 point mashing of Albert.
I think Albert needs a sympathy prize. That ain't his first painful loss. ;s

Scott,

Smokes going out Monday....DC 9405 5036 9930 0379 4509 93

[Coach Deg]

Trying to get mine in order- I owe a premium 5 for the league, a troop five for the league, and I lost one troop 5 bet with Scott. Anyone have something different for me?
Scott PM me your addy please.

[Coach Deg]

Nolo, I would hate to win this way. Your defense is on a bye, there are a few out there for tonight. Just an FYI. Incase you didn't know.

[massphatness]

huh - that's 2 in a row for me :wo

[Coach Deg]

Vin is the man!!!! I tell my kids all the time "Its not how you start its how you finish" and Vin is on a roll!!!!

[shilala]

George and Mike, sticks don't have to be in until after week 8.
I'm going to go over the thread and update the "keep track of stuff" thread now.
If everyone would look it over and fix my mistakes when I'm done, that'd be fuggin swell. :tu

When I first started smoking I was a huge Rocky mark. Loved it all went to all his smokers, still like them, but more of a VSG smoker.

And I was confusing people with the mark/mike thing.

Not a problem at all, George. I got your smokes yesterday right before I left for Ohio. I'll ask sofaman to watch for Mike's smokes and put them in the house for me. Thank You, and thanks for the surprise!!! :)

[sofaman]

I have another that says nolo takes his first loss this weekend!!!

[Coach Deg]

I believe Nolo should donate a fiver in my name! I win that game if I don't give the heads up on the Defense!
