Re: NFL 2009 Thread #2

I got effed by Peyton Manning. Hard.

I was the 1 seed, playing the 4. I thought I was doing pretty well after Thursday's game, when Jones-Drew went off for 24 points...until I looked online and saw that I was already down 30 points because my opponent had Manning and Dallas Clark. I ended up getting it close, but in the end I lost 108-104. :mad:
 
Re: NFL 2009 Thread #2

I was the top seed by three games but lost to the 8 seed (whose record was 8 games worse) yesterday and was eliminated. Winning the Championship will be worth $120-$130 dollars depending on how many transactions are made over the last two weeks. That would have been a nice chunk of change to win but regardless of how well you do in the regular season the playoffs are a crap shoot (single elimination). Oh well.

The commish of one of my Yahoo leagues didn't have a consolation playoffs for those of us who weren't in the top 8. So I dropped Steve Smith (the good one) and he was promptly picked up by the #8 seed for the playoffs. It was nice to see the #1 seed knocked off thanks to my dropped player... :)

Drew Brees is apparently not a good name around the ESPN leagues. He goes all year putting up big numbers, and then lays an egg in the playoffs.

That's a really dick move to drop your players.
 
Re: NFL 2009 Thread #2

CBS effed up the seedings in my league. It's set up like baseball with 3 division winners and a wild card. According to the rules, #1 division winner plays wild card, and the second and third place division winners play eachother. Only problem is, the bracket looks like this:

Semi-final 1:
2. Me, (9-5) division winner VS. 1. My opponent (13-1), division winner

3. 3rd division winner (8-6), division winner VS. 4. Wildcard (9-5), 2nd in my division.


I've still got a chance though. I'm down 105-93 with Santana Moss and Hakeem Nicks left to play tonight. Aaron Rodgers kept me in it with 43 yesterday.

I haven't been too happy with CBS fantasy football. There is zero customization unless you want to pay to play in a league. They are the only place with free college fantasy, and they said they were voted #1 in pro fantasy. I have no idea who could have voted for them, as Yahoo blows CBS out of the water.

I once considered asking if we could move the Fantasy talk to a separate thread, but then I realized that there would hardly be any of us left. I'd basically be posting TV distribution maps every week for 3-4 people. :D

I'm saving time and just throwing the Pats and Bungles in the mix. Is there anyone that isn't looking forward to a Colts/Chargers AFC Championchip Game?
Outside of Pittsburgh...

PLAYOFFS PLAYOFFS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT PLAYOFFS? ;) :D

Who cares about the NFL playoffs? The real importance is fantasy football. Who really cares who wins the games? Just as long as the correct players are having good games. :p

In all seriousness, I would take a Vikings win over a fantasy win.

It's just fun to talk about fantasy football and pretend like I actually know how to manage a team(s). I'm sure any day now a NFL team will hear about my stellar record and offer me a boat full of money to be their GM. :D

Are you sure you want to be talking about the Vikings and boats in the same post? ;)

Hey what's wrong with having fun on a boat? If the boat is a rocking don't come a knocking. I was tempted to call the company in charge of the boat cruise and ask for the same cruise the Vikings received.
