Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

Instead of thanking BEST... I should be blaming MJD! He is such a failure so far this season. I had a feeling he would be... He just is not on a good team to be on right now.

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

Wow!!! 2-0 and a lot of distractintions!!! Are you modeling yourself after Jerry jones or dan Snyder? Maybe Al Davis? I'd welcome mjd!

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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 :)

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

I gave this some thought, and I'll go ahead and bite.
I got ten troop sticks says I take you to the yard. My matchups are real strong this week. I didn't even look at yours. I should be good for at least 180 points this week. I don't think you got 180 points in you on your best week.
shilala the greek has spoken. -(P

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

I wasn't trying to bait you just giving you time to stock up on band-aids, Neosporin, and Tucks Cooling Pads.:xxx
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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

Game on, scro. Welcome to hell. :hn

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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. :)

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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
:=:

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

Ill take that bet!

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

ill retake the lead sunday!

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

damn nolo's team is scary...

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

I'm getting pwned.

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

Dont worry, Ill get revenge on him this week!

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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!

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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.

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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.

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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...

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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.

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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.

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

Nevermind on P Thomas. He is out most likely.

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

Ill score more points than you this week.

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

Deal. Ill spot you 10 points.

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

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

Re: Fantasy Football for stakes and the Troops
 

We're on, my brother!!! :tu
