Midseason (sorta) Report of the TALON FF League

[True Blue Aggie]

Current Standings
1. Stormshadow - 5-0
2. Wesman's wife - 4-1
3. True Blue Aggie - 4-1
4. Cobras 2-3 (think this is Adam's friend or BIL?)
5. Dirt Dobbers 2-3 (This is Ronnie's team)
6. Wesman - 2-3 (cant believe the wife is beating you...)
7. dboat - 1-4
8. Sixpipes - 0-5


After a rough start to the season, it looks as if everyone has made enough moves or has a good enough roster to make the season fun. Two teams have made zero moves, while Sixpipes has made enough waiver line moves to pick up their slack (28 to date). Dependant on if the snow has burried Dana, I might get a free win this week since he has not logged on to update his roster.

And Wes, well Wes has a worse record than his wife. I knew Stephanie was nice, but the football expert of the family? :d

[StormShadow]

Cobra is Eric who works with me. He drives a slow cobra and would never race me because he says he needs to work on his suspension. :rolleyes: He wouldnt even race the 97 mustang I had.

[StormShadow]

Yea Wesman is getting owned by The Storks. :evil I think his problem is that he has too many Miami Hurricanes on his team lol

Nah, just gay ass rules. It's pretty stupid that a receiver with 10 receptions and 40 yards scores more points than one with 100 yards and 3 receptions.

10 yards rushing should = 1 point
10 yards receiving should =1 point
25 yards passing should = 1 point

Receptions/completions shouldn't mean a damn thing. Who cares if you had 45 completions for 300 yards if you don't score a TD. In this league that would be worth like 50 points, which is just stupid. Meanwhile a good day by a QB has 15 completions for 175 yards and 2 TD's and he only scores 25.....just doesn't make much sense.

Touchdowns scored by a returner should be credited to a defense as well as the individual player.

Return yards should be scored for players that are also WR's, RB's etc

Those are just a few of the rules that are screwed up in this league

Good job on the draft commish :rolleyes:

[Sixpipes]

OK so I'm 0-5, but there are nine regular season games left and I'm only two games out of a potential playoff spot. I've had some weird stuff happen so far this year including loosing my #1 quarterback in the first game of the season. I've actually got a decent roster at this point so maybe things will be turning around soon. :cool:

[StormShadow]

Might want to think about another qb instead of Trent Green. I heard he might be out a while with the concussion. Farve is still out there I think.

[Sixpipes]

0-7 at the midway point of the season. My incredible string of luck continues. Teams are averaging 126 points/game when they play me and I have been matched up against the two top points scorers in the last two weeks. Tiki Barber goes crazy on Atlanta last week and Willie Parker scores 0 points the following week against the same team? Give me a break... I may as well be playing the lottery, at least I have a chance of winning at that. :rll:

[StormShadow]

I see the players you are picking up Dennis and I bet your luck will change pretty soon. You are putting a good team together.

[StormShadow]

nevermind I was looking at the wrong league

[Lyfisin]

Does that mean whatever players Dennis picked up sook? :rll:

[wesman]

No, he's making some good moves. It will pay off. The key is to get to the playoffs, anything can happen there especially with stud players taking time off in week 15-16.

I've been beat several times in the semi's and finals by inferior teams due to resting players etc.

I lost in the last week last year because of this. I had to bench Shaun Alexander in the last week, because I wasn't sure he was going to play. The guy who won came from 2 points (he was in 3rd) down to tie me in the last week and I lost the tie breaker. :(

[Sixpipes]

My luck continues. Looks like my opponent will have the highest point total in the league again this week (3 weeks in a row). Also, Reggie Wayne and Larry Johnson have career days today and surprise, surprise, they're playing on my opponents team. 7 touchdowns between those two players and they are outscoring my whole team by one point.:rll: :rll:

Dennis, how do you see the scores online? I can do it on CBSSportsline but not this Yahoo thing.. :confused:
Dana

[StormShadow]

He probably paid to upgrade to the stat tracker. I think its 10$ for a season but covers all of your yahoo football leagues.

BTW Dennis be glad he didn't start Grossman.

Yeah, I like to get bad news fast. :D

Well, I saw that offer but thought that Dennis had figured another way around it...

[True Blue Aggie]

Week 9 is going to be nice.... :beer:

Looks like it might be a battle of the 1 loss teams Adam....

[StormShadow]

Yep I lost by 1 point. Thanks for fumbling Jake Delhomme.

Make that 4 week in a row. Brees has a career day against me and Vick sucks...:hammer:

[StormShadow]

Sorry Dennis it looks like Ocho Cinco is having a career day against you this week. The quest continues.:evil

Make that 5 week in a row. Johnson has a career day and LT goes for 4 TDs against me...:hammer:

[StormShadow]

and LT goes for 4 TDs against me...:hammer:

He's on the verge of making that 5 rushing TD's for today. 2nd and goal with 3 minutes left and they are feeding LT trying to get him the 5th one.

[StormShadow]

They tried to throw it to LT but ended up scoring without him. Would have been cool to see him score 5 TD's. He's the best RB I've ever seen.

[Sixpipes]

Check this out. The Barking Spiders have played the highest scoring team the last 5 weeks in a row. They have the 4th largest cumulative point total for the season, yet they have not won a single game. :cool:

I think you're gonna pull it off this week Dennis. If you score 125, I'll keep it competitive and score 115, if you score 85, I'll score 75, that seems to be my MO this season.

Best of luck to the biggest loser this week :beer: :beer:

[dboat]

I forget, but how many teams make the playoffs?

I was betting on Dennis last week to win.. oh well.. :cool:

Dana

[Sixpipes]

The top four teams play in the championship. I think there is a consolation playoff for the bottom four teams. :cool:

[dboat]

my team is on a roll.. I am hoping to break into the top four in time for the playoffs.. and this is with basically no trades and no changes in my "drafted for me" lineup:D

[Sixpipes]

Well, Wesman's Warriors felt the silent but deadly attack of the Barking Spiders last week to the tune of a 99 to 99 tie. :D What kind of a record is 0-11-1 for a team with the 4th highest point total in the league? :o

[wesman]

Hell, at this point a tie is good for me :hammer: :hammer:

Well, for those of us that have a win at your expense? we appreciate your support!!;)

Dana

[dboat]

I was really hoping for a win this week to help catapult me towards a playoff spot.. not much time left for that now, plus a loss this week too..

Dana

[Sixpipes]

My perfect record remains intact. Looks like there was an error in calculating the Warriors points and I lose 100 to 99. :rll:

Dennis, from the rest of us, your perfection is a wonderful thing.. :evil
Keep up the great work. :tu:

[dboat]

Guys, dont forget to review your lineups before todays games..

also, I made my first moves today to help catapult me into the playoffs.. well I hope they do..

Dana

[True Blue Aggie]

Dennis....I think you might actually win this week. Romo went out a put up 61 points for you. I think you should send him a thank you note.....:tu:

[Sixpipes]

The Barking Spiders set a league high point total of 176 points last week for their first victory of the season. :beer:

I finished 1-15 for the year and as you might have expected, dead-a$$ last. Interesting to note that the first and second place teams finished with the worst two point totals in the final week.If either team had played anyone else, including my team, they would have lost. The weirdest Fantasy Football year ever IMO.
