Fantasy Football 2013 Edition

@MrMalachiCrunch:

I wasn’t going to comment but positive feedback should not be withheld.  The choices were pretty amusing especially the one about the original Nova version, I wish I still had mine.  Had the question been “ever” and not “last 5 years” I would have been honoured to check that one.  I guess I really am getting old!  Say that to me at the gym after an hour sonny!   :wink:

True, I could have checked off a few more myself if the question was ‘ever,’  but I was more curious as to what games are still being played, and from the looks of it, most of them are, even the ones that are more than a decade old.

@Jermofoot:

On Life is a Brees, I’d recommend trading a WR or two for a solid RB.  I’d also “float” your D/ST  as the Jags aren’t very good and there’s usually a D/ST in free agency that has a good matchup.  Just rotate them in and out as needed.

Loose Goose looks pretty solid to me.  Unless you get a great offer, I’d keep it as is.

Hurt Locker is hard for me to say.  It looks like a deeper league (maybe 12 people?), but your opponent looks like he had a slightly better draft.  Without knowing options, I’m not sure what to tell you.

I won, although I had a little doubt going into Monday’s night game.  Julio Jones didn’t do much, but it wasn’t necessary anyway.  Victor Cruz and Reggie Bush really saved my ass.  I’m tied for first in a 3-way tie at 2-0.  I face one of the other undefeated this week.

On Hurt Locker, yes… It’s a deep league (16 player). They all started drafting QB’s early (Joe Flacco went start of the second round) cause they didn’t like the scoring system. I kept drafting normal, and next thing I knew I had this lopsided team. Should have changed middraft.

cunning stuff - adroit cute

Appealing :) If just I had somewhere to function I could really have on complete, I steady would get one. Luuurve them. Even if they¡äre mould season in Crazywood, amongst us routine peeps, they¡äre undisturbed fab.

@Wilson2:

I will if it doesn’t sell soon. However, ebay charges 9% to BGGs 3%. Also ebay has a $1 fee for placing an item up for bid. Additionally, there are four to five AA50s for sale on ebay right now. I hope to wait till those auctions end so most people are bidding on mine.

Just make it buy it now.

I’m hard pressed to put it into words. I think opposed isn’t the most precise word for it. I just don’t like them.

They seem as much geared to a need for instant gratification as opposed to seeking the best. They feel like when teachers allow extra work at end of term to make up for low test scores or other poor performance earlier on.

I think they diminish the regular season. They often create situations where one team has to beat another twice to be conference champion.

They feel more geared to society’s seeming fascination with seeing the mighty brought down than with the raising up of persistent excellence.

The conference championships and especially calls for a playoff seem to fall back on some sort of law of the jungle meme, you couldn’t beat me today so I’m the best! But that oppurtunity seems to be handed out on making an exception to that rule. “What do you mean my pleas for fairness are unfair to you? Who said life is fair?”

It comes across like extending the race one more mile because you didn’t like the winner.

Maybe it is that it can often seperate in my thinking ‘best’ and ‘champion.’

NY Jets ftw!

Craig, a friend of mine and former flatmate, asked me in how far the performance of the american football will depend on the temperatures in winter 2006. My opinion is that the more blue the teams have in their shirts, the better they will perform if it is cool. Less blue means they perform better if it is hot.

your opinions?

did they get embarrased in previous years?

we lost 19 starters after the 98-99 season. so we sucked pretty bad the next few years. but the majority of their jokes were about the trademark “block O” we use as a logo on hats and stuff. my friends favorite term for us was “the zero’s”
