Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops

[Mattso3000]

I'm just going to kick your ass straight up. :gary

Certainly looks that way.

[JenksAnejo]

:tu Coach, but if you wanted the H Upmann #2 and the 898 go for it man! Everything you listed would be a fair trade for either of those with the exception of the Party Short. That is if you wanted them..

[chaase321]

Hey guys. Sorry I was out for the weekend, looks like everything was straightened out. Coach I like your puts takes other than the behikie like the others said, so everything else looks good. Shilala no problem on setting our bet up at a later time. Sofa man, sorry I missed your bet... I may actually win that one lol. Good job to co commissioner Matt helping me out ! Thanks bro

[Mattso3000]

Wow...Vikings just agreed to terms with Josh Freeman.

[BeerAdvocate]

Horrible week for fantasy football. Not many players had big games!

[TJarv]

Well my team had a horrible week

[JenksAnejo]

My fantasy football team is straight garbage. :r

[mkarnold1]

My fantasy football team is straight garbage. :r

Join the club:<

[Mattso3000]

Looks like just my bet this week, let me know if I'm missing anything.

I owe 15 sticks with Stabbing Cacti, Tampa Torpedos, and Shilala beating me this week.

Jarrod put up 15 sticks and lost, Tony put up 5 and lost.

I'll update the running totals tomorrow!

[Coach Deg]

I will bet someone 5 troop sticks. Name the bet?

[sofaman]

I am out of town for work but my wife let me know that the pass arrived at my house last night. I wont get home until Saturday and I will post my puts and takes then and get it shipped out Monday

[Mattso3000]

Looks great to me!

[TJarv]

Looks good

[chaase321]

Looking good Scott. :tu

[TJarv]

Sent out a couple trade offers if anyone is interested

[Malakai]

Tony...hard decision but I accepted your trade offer...pending rejection right now with the commish.

[TJarv]

Yeah I didn't want to get rid of Brown but I think we both will profit from the trade

[chaase321]

Just wanted to let you all know that I received the pass today from Scott (sofaman)...guys...this thing looks great still! Way to go, I really appreciate you guys taking the time to keep the pass on the up and up and get it along to the next guy in a very timely fashion! WAY TO GO! :tu

The box is getting used, but I'm very confident that we can get through at least another round before anything needs to be replacing. Other than that, I just wanted to let you all know that I have received it. I'll be posting my puts and takes for your review later.

EDIT: I have really, really, trying to figure out how I can get this behike out of the pass :D I have never even held on (thanks Jarrod)! That being said, and considering that the Behike goes for $40-$45, I want to get others opinions on this:

Option 1: Behike for a Liga Privada #9 Pig. I know it's not CC for CC, but our rules state that CC's must be replaced with something HTF.

Option 2: Behike for LP T-52 Pig and Undercrown Pig. (this would give two people a shot at LP pigs)

Other than that, I don't have anything that would come close to the value of the Behike...and further, not sure if anyone else would have something that rivals the value of the Behike. So, if these options aren't good, and this gets back to Jarrod (meaning it went through everyone once), I would propose that Jarrod remove it...not because we don't want it, but it may just be too $$ for this (dare I say that ;) )

Let me know gents!

I was advised by a higher power ( :hy ) that these two options would not be appropriate. I am revising my puts and takes :tu

[chaase321]

Ok, here are my puts and takes:

[shilala]

If that Behike stays in the pass for a year or two, or if someone goes out and buys a cigar to replace it and takes it tomorrow, it still has a place in the pass. It's actually the whole point. All our rules are set to bring excellent cigars to the pass, and it's working!!! :)

It's good that we can take a number of cigars to equal a put. That way if I have a PAM 80th or something, I can take a number of lesser cigars to make up for it.
I have both cc's and nc's that'd work for either direction. I'm sure other guys do, too.

If you want that sumb1tch bad enough, you'll sell some of your wife's shoes for the cash, brother. :lr

[shilala]

You did it while I was typing. :lr
Looks good to me, brother!!! :tu

Everything you speak is the truth! :tu :r

Scott's right, if it sits for 2 years or 2 days, this pass is about having the best of the best in it...things you can't get out of a normal pass. I try to live up to that with my puts and takes, and appreciate all of you doing that as well...again, that's what makes this thing the best around!

That said...even though it's not in my puts and takes pictures above...I'm gonna throw into this pass a Liga Privada T-52 Pig whoever gets it, enjoy it!

Oh...and BTW, a big thanks to Tony (TJarv) for throwing in a DPG Cuban Classic from 2007! That really made my day when I opened it and saw it was marked for me! Thanks bud :tu

[JenksAnejo]

I'm glad you took the Behike, Cole! I was going to bomb your @$$ with one if you didn't. :)

Hey you never know another one may find its way back to the pass someday

Everything looks great man.

[chaase321]

I'm glad you took the Behike, Cole! I was going to bomb your @$$ with one if you didn't. :)

Hey you never know another one may find its way back to the pass someday

Everything looks great man.

Damn bro!!! Let me out that thing back in the pass and wait for the bomb! Hahaha :r :r

Nah, I'm stoked to finally have one in the humi! This is why I love this league and pass, hopefully others feel the same!

[Mattso3000]

Cole,
Looks good to me brother! Send her my way!

[chaase321]

If I'm reading correctly, there were absolutely NO bets last week :td

Yeah Yeah, I know...I haven't bet in at least two weeks either :D That being said...hey coach, wanna do a 10'er on our matchup this week?

[Coach Deg]

Your on!!!!

[chaase321]

Your on!!!!

:tu

[chaase321]

Matt, your entry smokes received :tu

Also, btw, I received Coach's Troops sticks last week.
He sent 145, so after his 6 entry are taken away, he had 139 to bet with. In the draft he bet against any takers for his team having higher points in week 1...he lost to 4 people.

So therefore, Coach has a balance of 119 sticks to bet with.

[Coach Deg]

And I am sure I will lose everyone by seasons end because my team sucks!!!!

[shilala]

I need some troop stick bets for this week. I'm ashamed we didn't have any bets last week. I've been hiding my faqce ever since Cole mentioned it.

However many troop sticks you want. Head to head with our teams, pick any team you want to go against mine, or we can each pick a couple teams and add the scores up.
Whatever comes to mind.
If I need to give up points, I will.
If I need to double your bet, I will.
I'll take on all you all!!! :tu

Cole, that's a positive on our bet for next week.
Rather than just a personal fiver of cc's, how bout we add a fiver of troop sticks, too?
I pulled my head out of football when we went on vacation and I need to get back in the game before you guys start kicking my ass regular.

[TJarv]

Scott how about we put our RB's and WR's against each other. So I'm betting you 5 sticks that my WR's beat your WR's and 5 sticks that my RB's beat your RB's.

Sound good?

[shilala]

Scott how about we put our RB's and WR's against each other. So I'm betting you 5 sticks that my WR's beat your WR's and 5 sticks that my RB's beat your RB's.

Sound good?
I'll do that.
5 troop sticks on each. Combined WR's and combined RB's. Just active ones.
If either of us use an RB or WR in the flex position, that one doesn't count.
RIght?

[TJarv]

You are correct

[chaase321]

Yeah I was already figuring on us both donating a 5'er to the troops when we did our cc bet, but we can bet each other a 5er of CCs and a 5er for the troops. Sounds good brother

Best 4 man team with one QB, RB, WR, TE

This is for week 8 (next week)

[shilala]

Tony and Cole, that's a copy. Over.

[sofaman]

I'll do that.
5 troop sticks on each. Combined WR's and combined RB's. Just active ones.
If either of us use an RB or WR in the flex position, that one doesn't count.
RIght?

I will take some of this action too if I can:tu

[Mattso3000]

The pass showed up yesterday right as I was walking out to my car on the way to work so I have it in hand! Everything still looks great, I will post up pics tomorrow cuz I'm tired and I wanna go to bed.

[JenksAnejo]

Anyone up for a bet this week?

[Coach Deg]

Anyone up for a bet this week?

I'll bet you a fiver. Name the bet.

[Malakai]

Let's do it! I too welcome a bet with you for a 5er.

[JenksAnejo]

Since two of you want in how about we all pick a QB,RB,WR&TE and whoever scores the most wins. The other two pay up with 5ers.. Does that sound ok to you guys? I think Cole and Scott did this a couple weeks ago.

[Coach Deg]

Sounds good. Can we repeat players?

[JenksAnejo]

Sure! I'm sure we will all be different somehow.


*if anyone else wants to jump in feel free to get your @$$ whipped! :tu

[JenksAnejo]

Quote and copy big fella :tu

[Mattso3000]

That's a good copy on the bet Scott. Thanks. I won't have time to figure out the results on last weeks convoluted bets until Sat. If anyone else that had a bet going last week can update on the winners or losers it would be appreciated!

[Mattso3000]

Ha. Got a quote and a copy.

[chaase321]

Ha. Got a quote and a copy.

Team work, co-commish :tu


BTW...your puts and takes look a-ok to me

[chaase321]

Here are my bet balances (as long as I got everything figured out. this coming weekend will be the one that is hard to get figured out as everyone is picking players to make a team, so someone make note to let Matt or me know who won so we don't have to do all the figuring ourselves :tu )

Shilala - bet balance of 70
Chaase321 - bet balance of 15 (btw, I added a 5'er on Tuesday, which gets me to 15)
Sofaman - bet balance of 24
Mattso3000 - bet balance of 39
MkArnold1 - owes 1 bet stick
Malakai - bet balance of 35
TJarv - bet balance of 4
JenksAnejo - owes 15 bet sticks and owes 6 entry troops sticks, and 6 entry sticks
BeerAdvocate - bet balance of 2
Coach_Deg - bet balance of 109

[chaase321]

Cole, here's my players for our 5cc/5 troop sticks bet this week:
QB: Peyton Manning
RB: Jamaal Charles
WR: Jordy Nelson
TE: Tony Gonzalez

Here's my picks (this way they are on the same post)

QB: Aaron Rodgers
RB: Lesean McCoy
WR: Victor Cruz
TE: Gronk


PREPARE TO LOSE!!!! BAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

[JenksAnejo]

Is it cool if I put my sticks I owe in the pass in a seperate bag Cole?

[chaase321]

Is it cool if I put my sticks I owe in the pass in a seperate bag Cole?

To be honest with ya, I'd prefer you didn't...not because it wouldn't be ok with me, but because the pass is really tight as it is now and I don't think they would fit and because there are three people after you on the pass, so I know it will be really tight by the time it gets to me.

If those reasons weren't there I'd be more than cool with you putting them in with the pass. Right now, you need to send close to 20-25 sticks for everything, so i don't think you can make them fit :D

[shilala]

That's a jam-packed pass.
I'll keep on the lookout for a new box. If I can find another one of those fish-store boxes, that'd be awesome. They work great, they're light, and they don't require a bunch of extra packing material.

If someone goes by a pet store, or if you have a fish store in your town, it'd be awesome if you'd swing by and ask if they have a live fish shipping box laying around.
A tip:
Most fish places get their order on the same day all the time. If they don't have a box they can give you, ask what day they get their order and try to visit that night.
I'll check my pet store next time I go to the grocery store. :tu

[JenksAnejo]

Didn't even think about that.. No problem man!

[shilala]

Didn't even think about that.. No problem man!
Send them Parcel Post, Jarrod. Save a buck or two. They don't need to rocket to Cole, he's not going anywhere.

[Mattso3000]

That was why I only threw in one extra. That thing is stuffed pretty full.

[chaase321]

Nope...and the winter is a coming soon I predict, this house on the mountain is gonna close me in really quickly! :D

[chaase321]

That was why I only threw in one extra. That thing is stuffed pretty full.

Well this is the reason why we need a bigger box and cooler then!!!! Gotta let Mattso get his fill from the pass :D :r

Just have Cole's input on the pass so far...good to go or should I change it up? On another note, Mark is coming up to visit next weekend. If it's o.k., I was thinking of just handing it off to him on Fri. If it needs to move faster I can get it out tomorrow and have it down to him on Wed. Let me know please.

I have no idea on the value of the culebra, let me know if this works and I'll send it out. Thanks

[Mattso3000]

Mark went home and left the box with me to ship. Let me know if I need to add anything before it's sent out...I also have no idea on the value of the culebra he took. Otherwise I'll ship it out monday morning!

Tony...troop 5er on the match-up today?

[TJarv]

Pass looks good to me

Sounds good matt

[chaase321]

Just saw the pass question. The value of the Culebra is probably close to $10. It was an in house release, so no worries about not putting enough into the pass. Enjoy Mark :tu

That made me giggle. :D
Sooner or later you gotta win again, my man. If I were you, I'd make a bet that plays to your strong suit. I made up this 4 guy thing cause I'd bet my dog on it, week to week. I know what I'm good at.
You make up a bet, whatever you want. I'll play.
Use your melon. :tu

Damned fine smokes you send me when you lose, by the way. I'll let you quit losing to me forever!!!
Thanks, brother!!! :tu

[Mattso3000]

Pass is on the way to John (Malakai) tracking #1ZT21B110390749024 via UPS.

Without me having to go back and add up...how did this bet turn out from last week (10/27/13) :sh If no one kept track, I'll run through it and find the stats.

[JenksAnejo]

I don't have the stats but just looking at the players I would say Malakai is the winner. He definitely has me beat and Megatron scored a zillion points.

Any dates on those CC's John? If you have them? For record keeping and so guys know age. If you still have the pass would you mark it on the bags, otherwise, if you know the age, we can have Tony put the years on when he gets the pass. thanks brother :tu

[Malakai]

Sorry Gents...I took the photo before I wrote in all the dates. They are currently all labeled. I have a late one at work today so I will get the pass shipped out to you Tony tomorrow. Any preference Tony...I know FedEx was a B! for you last time.

No worries John, that works for me. Thanks!

[TJarv]

Fed Ex always shows up about 30 minutes before I get home from work, that's the issue I had last time

[TJarv]

Got the pass today and just finished digging through it.

Are we still adding extras in?

[TJarv]

Here's what I've got so far, let me know if I need to change anything up.

And the dates aren't shown in the pics but I did put them on the bags.

[chaase321]

Looks good Tony.

I think guys may be throwing one extra in still.

[chaase321]

Alright Scott (shilala) let's do this again!

first, 10 troops sticks for a heads up matchup this week, your fantasy team against my fantasy team.

Second, let's put a troop 5'er on a pick two players contest. 1 QB and 1 WR, combined score wins.

I pick:
Drew Brees
Vincent Jackson

Bring it...woman! hahahahaha

Also, mattso, let's do a 5'er on our matchup, straight up.

I put two Upmann #2's in this time because I put one in last time around and it didn't last one stop :)

Please let me know what you all think!

Thanks fellas. What a great pass to be involved in.

Oh yeah, I can't figure out how to re-size pictures…. I USED to be computer savvy…….

[TJarv]

Looks good to me Jarrod

[Mattso3000]

Looks good!

[shilala]

Alright Scott (shilala) let's do this again!

first, 10 troops sticks for a heads up matchup this week, your fantasy team against my fantasy team.

Second, let's put a troop 5'er on a pick two players contest. 1 QB and 1 WR, combined score wins.

I pick:
Drew Brees
Vincent Jackson

In a bid to allow you a double win, I'm gonna go out on a limb and put all my eggs in one basket.
I'll take Peyton and Demaryius Thomas.
Mind ya, I'd like to go with Mike Glennon and Calvin Johnson, or Matt Stafford and Brandon Marshall, or a whole lot of other picks. The odds of Peyton and Thomas hooking up enough to take this is slim, but I like the odds for a longshot.
It'll just make me feel good if I beat you with this matchup. :D

[shilala]

Me 116.38
Cole 79.18

Brees 18.52
Jackson 8.10
26.62

Peyton 12.00
Thomas 14.10
26.10

I was SOOOoooo0oo close!!! :D
So Cole lost 10 troop sticks and I lost 5. :tu

[sofaman]

Hey Scott we need to put up 10 troop stick bet on our epic matchup this weekend:tu

[shilala]

Done deal, brother.
I scared all these other girls into submission. Nice to see my buddy has the stones to take a bet. :tu

[Coach Deg]

Scott I'll bet you!! I have a lot of troop sticks I need to lose!

[shilala]

You call it, Coach.
Heck, I don't have a clue how many I have.

[Coach Deg]

10 sticks a qb, RB, WR, and TE.

Ill take
Peyton Manning
Shady McCoy
AJ Green
Jimmy Graham

[shilala]

I'll take Drew Bree's, Andre Brown, Jimmy Graham and Victor Cruz.
I just picked from the last 4 teams cause I just caught your post, Mike.
Had to cancel out Jimmy, there's nobody close enough to give you that edge.

[Coach Deg]

I'll spot you 10pts, just to make it interesting.

[shilala]

I'll still lose, Mike. This ain't my week. I'm having my ass handed to me in both my FF leagues. Looks like it'll be my first 2 loss weekend of the year.

It's funny how I drafted with the first 8 weeks in mind. I knew I had to come out strong in the money league I'm in, so I created my draft for that league, and drafted here the same way, just to see how it goes. Went something like 12-2-2 in both leagues combined, and now I'm just getting THRASHED. :D
Oh well. :)

[JenksAnejo]

Pass off to coach. Sorry for being late, I have no excuses..

Here's tracking 911490118966016739126

[Coach Deg]

I actually just threw the bait fish in. I took 8 put 9.

[JenksAnejo]

Looks good to me coach! :tu

[TJarv]

I actually just threw the bait fish in. I took 8 put 9.

Oh ok, I didn't pay attention to that

[chaase321]

Hey guys, I just wanted to say that I've been slipping a little in this thread due to my audit being pretty intense this year, especially due to the government shut down and time constraints from that...anyway, a huge thanks to those of you who have been stepping up and looking over the pass and to Matt for being here as co-commish to answer anything that came up.

I looked through the puts and takes that have been submitted, and everything looks pretty cool with me :tu the pass really makes this fun, and I hope you all have been enjoying yourself with it again this year.

Also, here is an update on the Troop Sticks bet amounts:
Shilala 40 stick bet balance
Chaase321 owes 5 sticks
Sofaman 24 stick bet balance
Mattso3000 34 stick bet balance
MkArnold1 Owes 1 stick
Malakai 30 stick bet balance
Tjarv 4 stick bet balance
Jenks Anejo Owes 15 sticks, plus entry 6 Troop sticks and 6 entry sticks
Beeradvocate 2 stick bet balance
Coach deg 104 stick bet balance

Only a few more weeks in the season left (4 weeks!!)...let's try to get those betting balances down further! I encourage everyone to take advantage of Shilala and Coach...make them lose!!!!!! :r :r

You guys have been doing great, and I can't wait to add up all of these sticks and see how many we actually have for the year. I know we are doing better this year than last, and hopefully we can make this the highest year yet!

[chaase321]

So, to keep the bets going...

Sofaman, you want to throw a 10'er for the troops on our matchup this week?

*Remember, you have clinched a playoff birth...so you could sit everyone ya know :D *

Puts:
Tat Halloween 13
Liga L-40
LFD Chapter 1
Anejo 77 Shark
Fuente Un named reserve 13

Takes

DPG Blue Lancero
L'atelier
Opus Robusto
Tat Reserva

[Mattso3000]

Looks good to me!

[Mattso3000]

Looks like we have an interesting week 15 shaping up here...

Scott (Sofaman) is the only team to clinch a playoff spot so far, the other three spots are up in the air with four teams fighting for them. TJarv is in the drivers seat at 10-4, but if he looses and Me, Shilala, and Travis win he could still be out in the cold. The three of us are tied at 9-5 so the scenarios become more convoluted from here. A loss probably means you're out or if we all win it comes down to points. Enjoy week 15 and good luck to all!

[Coach Deg]

Somebody give me a bet, I have sticks to lose!!!!

Looks like I got you by the slimmest of margins!
90.04 to 89.52

I so totally :sl you silly! :r :r

Why don't y'all make a bet of it! :D

[shilala]

I got the pass. :tu
I rooted through it but haven't dug out puts yet.

[sofaman]

Cole I would rather be beat by 100 pts than lose by a half a point, tough loss:sl:sl:sl

[shilala]

Update:
I have still done nothing more with the pass. Although, I have thought about doing something with the pass on numerous occasions, and that makes me feel better about not doing anything more with the pass. :tu

Whatever helps you sleep at night :gary :sl :D

[shilala]

Okay, I got time to do the pass thing.
My takes:
3 Sharks
Casa Fuente
Monte Open

My puts:
07 Don Carlos
02ish Oliva X by EOBrands
Padron SI-15 Maduro
Padron SI-15 Natural
Air Bender
08 Anejo 70? (Can't think of the number right now)
00 Punch RS11 (Best cc EVAR!!!)
San Cristobal El Principe? (Another brain block)

I'm not in love with anything I took, so if there's any problem, just let me know.
I don't know the value on the casa, my thinking was an SI or the Oliva X would cover it. Or bind the SI-15's as a pair?
I took the three sharks cause I like them and I'm out. I don't need to take 3.
So just give me your thoughts and I'll do whatever. :tu

[Mattso3000]

Shark hog:D Looks good to me!

[shilala]

Some more input would be great. I can get this going tomorrow.
That's a point, too. Who am I sending this to? I haven't pm'd ahead yet.

[TJarv]

Looks good to me

[chaase321]

Scott, I think the Padrons costs together would cover (pretty close) the cost of the Casa Fuente depending on where it was acquired.

Not sure how much the Oliva X is, actually haven't even heard of one...so that's awesome to add to the pass! And I just love the Punch RS11!

You can send the pass off to me. I will take inventory, and shoot a PM out to the members to see if everyone is in on another round. :tu

[chaase321]

Alright Gents...its time for some Fantasy Football Playoffs!!!! and Time to make some wagers! :D :sl

Going for the championship we have two semi-final matches:

Scott Sofaman against Tony TJarv

Matt Ninja for Hire against Travis TDsandBeer

Best of luck to all you "good" teams :tu

Also, like last year, we are doing a consolation match again. This will be done just through the thread because Yahoo! won't allow me to do it on the site. So, I am going to run it the way we did last year to be fair to all.

So...this week, all 6 teams (ranked 5th through 10th) will have a shot at moving to the championship consolation bracket. The TOP 3 TEAMS, in terms of points scored for will move on to next weeks championship game.

Then, in the championship, the top point scorer will be the winner. So pay attention to your line-ups it still counts!

Prizes:
1st place 30 sticks from the entries
2nd place 20 sticks from the entries
3rd place 10 sticks from the entries
Champion of the consolation bracket, 10-15 sticks.

Before the season started Scott asked me to weed through the pass and pull sticks that I thought weren't "up to par" with the premium standards of our pass. These sticks are being put into the consolation winnings. These are still good sticks, but they aren't the ones that scream "pick me pick me" when you open the pass, and it helps weed out some of the bulk :tu For example, I pulled an Alec Bradley Sun Grown and a Oliva V maduro (because we had 4 in the pass already)...just a couple examples.

[sofaman]

Good luck guys it has been a lot of fun this year!!!!

[chaase321]

Alright guys good luck to sofaman and tdsandbeer in the championship!

Ninjas and Tjarv are playing for third

Best part...no 3peat performance from ninjas!!!! Sorry Mattso!

As for the consolation bracket between the bottom 6 teams, the top three point scoters were:
Chaase321 134.52
Grain belt 140.54
Stabbing Cacti 160.0

Good luck guys in the last week. Highest points this week wins the consolation prize!

Thanks for playing all, looking forward to divvying up these sticks!!!

[BeerAdvocate]

Thanks for taking this over this year. Its been fun.

[Mattso3000]

Best part...no 3peat performance from ninjas!!!! Sorry Mattso!


:D Can't help but agree with this... I would have been a even bigger d bag if I won again.

Thanks again for all of the hard work this year Cole and good luck to all still playing for something!

[shilala]

It sucks that we've been dethroned, Matt.
It's good to see new faces taking home the trophy, though.
Sofaman pulled a 3rd place someehwere along the way, but I forget when.

[sofaman]

Congrats Travis :tu:tu:tu and I would like to thank everyone for taking part in this league its been a great year.

[BeerAdvocate]

Thanks. This win couldn't come at a better time. I recently lost most of my cigars and was down to a few mediocre cigars in a desk top humi. This should help me restock. Thanks again for taking this over Cole!

[Mattso3000]

Congrats Travis! Congrats to Scott on the second place as well! Great year, guys.

[shilala]

Nice win, Travis!!! :tu

Scott, you've got a 3rd and a 2nd, I guess next year's your year. :tu

[chaase321]

Congrats to everyone guys!

Travis takes 1st
Scott takes 2nd
Matt takes 3rd

And the winner of the losers is...
Mark scored 113.04 this week, and took that prize.

I'm still waiting on Jarod's sticks to come in, but I'm start gonna put together all of your packages and have them out early next week. Hopefully by then I can get the rest of the sticks in. Either way, I'll send everything out on Monday.

Congrats to all and cheers to a happy new year...with a new champ!

[Malakai]

Congrats Travis!!

Thanks for giving a first timer a chance. Hopefully I can be back next year.

Happy New Year everyone!!

Didn't this start back in July? Are you still waiting for "entry" sticks?

[JenksAnejo]

Yes, I was late to begin with and waited till the end of the season so I could include the troop sticks and save money for shipping. This has been my 5th fantasy league (baseball/football) with these guys so they know I'm good for it.

[chaase321]

Was checking on the tracking and wanted to wait until I got Jarrod's sticks before I sent out the winnings. That being said, I received Jarrod's sticks today and I will be sending out winnings tomorrow or Wednesday based on the weather.

Thanks guys :tu

I figured you were "good for it" as are most folks here. I wasn't questioning that. But there is still an implied responsibility to fulfill commitments in the same way everyone else who participates does. Just becausse you're "good for it" doesn't give you a pass to do as you like.
:2

[chaase321]

1st place = Travis = 9405 5036 9930 0197 9127 96
2nd place = Scott (Sofaman) = 9405 5036 9930 0197 9128 02
3rd place = Matt = 9405 5036 9930 0197 9128 19
Losers bracket winner = Mark = 9405 5036 9930 0197 9128 26

Mark, I mistakenly created a label for your package and used Matt's address on it. I'm hoping that you guys will see each other soon because I didn't want to pay another $12 to create another label. I'm pretty sure you guys are within an hour of each other, and it will give you a chance to smoke together :D

No, seriously though, I hope that doesn't create a problem, and if so I promise to make it right in the future :tu

Congrats everyone!!!

Also, congrats to the troops, I have to count the actual the number of sticks we raised, but by my calculations it should be somewhere in the 575 - 600 range! Holy cow that's awesome!!!! Way to go everyone!

Year 1 we raised 385 sticks for the troops
Year 2 we raised 499 sticks for the troops
Year 3 we raised between 350 - 400 (shilala forgot the total :D )
This year...WE BLEW IT OUT OF THE WATER!!!!!!!!

So proud of this asylum, and these 9 other great guys that played this year. It has been a great year, an awesome pass, and we will be able to put smiles on a lot of troops with the amount of sticks we raised! Way to go gents!

[pnoon]

:salute:

[Mattso3000]

Should be fine Cole. If I don't see Mark I'll just smoke them all :D

[kelmac07]

Way to go fellas!! :tu :tu

[mkarnold1]

Should be fine Cole. If I don't see Mark I'll just smoke them all :D

If he smokes them all I will just have to find some suitable replacements in his stash... Thanks Cole!

[shilala]

What an incredible haul. :tu
Thanks for busting your ass on this all year, Cole. You done good, son. :tu

[JenksAnejo]

Aww yeah!

[sofaman]

My sticks came today:dr Thanks again everyone for taking part in the league this year:tu

[chaase321]

My sticks came today:dr Thanks again everyone for taking part in the league this year:tu

Just saw this Scott, glad they came :tu

I checked on all the other packages, and it looks like all have arrived, so i was just making sure everything is good.

Thanks again for a great year everyone!

[Mattso3000]

I got everything Cole, thanks again. Can't wait till next year!
