That was my very first thought. I must have been thinking too loud.

My guess is that he gets carted off in the 1st quarter.

Little matter to me at this point. I was thinking I might get to play spoiler, but my bro handled his own business by you around! Of course, I always like to win, even if it is the lowest scoring matchup this league has seen this season. So to that end, good luck in the playoffs Shilala. I am confident that Shonn will score enough to get me the win. (and not enough to keep me out of the finals in another league, where I have a 43 point lead in the semis.)

Matt has had an awesome team all year. With the matchups we had, I expected a pretty good whooping. I was pressed for time this week or I'd have built a new team, not that it would have helped. I even forgot about the Thursday night game, Weeze and I missed it. We NEVER miss a game. I left Bryce Brown in by mistake and I knew that set the tone for my beatdown.

I'm sure Matt will share his smokes with you, you win no matter what, my friend!!!

Jeremy, any news on the Puts/Takes of the pass? Have you shipped it off to Sofaman?

If Jeremy puts his ff entry smokes in there, they'll get to me in plenty of time for sending prizes. Will you drop him a pm to that effect, Cole? (I'm thinking we're still waiting on him, Stephen and Matt? I know Matt and Stephen have their smokes ready, they just suck at post office. )
I think that next year we should give up cell #'s to the main man (you) so you can burn off text announcements and reminders if necessary. Many guys just aren't here all the time and that'd be a huge help to keep them looped, ya think?

Yeah, the texting thing would work for me. I have Jeremy's number, and texted him last Friday (or Thursday ) I'll shoot him another and see what's up. I told him to put his entry smokes in...probably wouldn't fit though ...the pass and that would be acceptable too.

And fantasy football. Mustn't forget fantasy football.

Ah I shouldn't have let it come down to this. I lost to Steven in like week 3 or 4 by 5 points because I didn't start a flex or a kicker. That was my fault, just didn't have the time to fully participate like I did in baseball. Maybe I'll put up a better fight next year! Best of luck to the guys that made the playoffs!

PS Mark I have a nice T52 pig waiting for you to sit Shaun Green. Lol!

[hazydat620]

wow, this has been great to read this morning, thanks guys,sorry if cluttered the thread. I would have loved to see the weeks finals of the FF games while I was reading, but only as a entertainment purposes.

[JenksAnejo]

Come on Green tweak your toe and be out for the game!

It's sad that that could actually happen to these millionaires and they are out

Oh..and I applaud the fact that you are trying to make it look like you didn't buy Mark off!

[JenksAnejo]

Talk about coming down to the wire! 1 point separates us with 6:00 remaining.

[JenksAnejo]

Damn that reception does it.

[mkarnold1]

Yeah, I was joking about the bribe man. Tempting as a T52 pig is... Although young mr. Green did make it very interesting.

[chaase321]

I texted with Jeremy this morning. He said he would send out the box to Scott (Sofaman) today, for sure, and that he sent this sticks for the buy in to Scott (Shilala) on Monday, so they should be getting there soon.

He also said that he probably wouldn't be taking anything from the pass this go around...things were crazy this past week for him.

Just wanted to give an update.

This ^^ is from the first post...and since this applies to me now, is this still applicable Scott? I'll prob lose this week anyway! lol

[shilala]

Absolutely, Cole. It usually works really good, too.
We generally have good competition in the loser's bracket, then I remember to send the cigars about 8 months later, right Matt?

HAHAHAHA, well if I win, I'll try my best to not let you forget

Yahoo only shows the teams 5-8 playing in the consolation bracket. Do you think we should include everyone (asked to everyone)? If so, how should we do scores?

Ideas:
-Top two teams (no head to head) from this week play next week for "winner of losers bracket"?
-Top two teams (no head to head, BUT, 5th place gets spotted 25 points, 6th, 20 points, 7th 15 points, 8th 10 points, 9th 5 points, 10th 0 points) gives everyone a chance at it?

Just trying to be fair and throwing out some ideas...what you all think?

If you guys want to do something outside of Yahoo! I can keep track of it...I think I am pretty good at that

Or we can leave it alone and let the head to head this week play out for teams 5-8 and then the winners play for the next round.

This is the best choice IMO. I hate getting (and giving) points in FF. It's already unpredictable enough that everyone has a good shot. Good call Cole.

Clearly faster than I would have...winning the loser's bracket is pretty sweet
