OT: Are you ready for some football?

[OneRedTXBolt]

As if there weren't enough to trash talk about around here, I was wondering if anyone besides myself is an NFL football fan. And also, if anyone would like to participate in a fantasy league.

With that in mind, I created a Private Fantasy League just for TALON.

Here's the link:

http://meeting.fantasy.nfl.com/mp/s?l=183489&sl=0

The Password is richardson. I only added a PW so that the league isn't open to joining for anyone just browsing the nfl.com website.

Please join up and post here if your interested!!!

The draft will be tomorrow, 9/7. I know this is last minute, but I just thought of it, and the season started yesterday. There's no cost involved. I figure we'd play for bragging rights. You need to sign up and rank players. If you don't rank players, their default rankings - compiled by their fantasy experts - will be used. So at least get over there and setup a team. You can always add, drop, trade players later.

Also, this is limited to 12 players, so only the first 12 get in.

Also, for those that know me, I have the NFL Sunday Ticket and you are invited on any given Sunday to come over and catch the games. BYOB and be prepared to always watch the Eagles game :D

Later!

Here's my prediction - NFC Championship game

I dont play fantasy football because of conflict of interest issues with the Cowboys and the NY Jets!!! :banana:

[OneRedTXBolt]

Tom,

Somehow, I forgot how much :bs you like to talk about those Bears...

The Eagles are goin' all the way this year! :banana:
:beer:

[tliss]

All the way into the first losers' spot!!:d :d

November 3, your house or mine? If it is nationally televised, we can watch it on the 60"! If not, we'll ahve to watch it on the TV connected to the dish.

[Sixpipes]

[OneRedTXBolt]

Glad ya got in..

I'd started to look at the problem. Signed in as a test user, got all the way to the part where I choose the league - and - CRASH! Thanks IE!

Let's get it on!!!

It's too bad I didn't think of this before today - we could've gone to Bonedaddy's and had a live draft! :d

[Sixpipes]

Come on guys. Don't make me kick James' a$$ all by my self. This might be a nice diversion for the rest of the year. :cool:

[OneRedTXBolt]

LOL! This is gonna be FUN!!!

BTW, I clicked on the link you sent for grins, and it tells me the system must identify me as Sixpipes to let me in. That's prolly cuz of the cookie I have on my system ID'ing me as me.

C'mon fellas!

[tliss]

I made it! Don't capitalize the "R" and you'll be fine. You'll have to face my Butt Kickers this season!

Tom

[Sixpipes]

James,

Looks like our league disappeared. :confused:

[OneRedTXBolt]

Yea - Not enough people signed up, so they cancelled it :flaming:

Maybe we can try again and start a week late. I'll setup another one for a draft next Friday. How does that sound? We'll need more people to join up tho!

James

[Sixpipes]

Either that or we can join an existing league that has vacancies. :cool:

[tliss]

Well that really bites! Keep me updated on what we're doing! I look forward to whoopin' all yer a$$es!

Tom

[OneRedTXBolt]

OK.. I'm up for joining one that has openings.

Did you have anyone in mind?

[Sixpipes]

How about starting a Texas Lightning public league and open it up to Halo and other Lightning guys in Texas? :cool:

[OneRedTXBolt]

All right - New league is setup.

Look for the public league Texas Lightnings. No password :)


http://meeting.fantasy.nfl.com/mp/s?l=186562&sl=0


The draft is gonna be on 9/13 - autodraft style.

Dennis, can you invite the other guys since you know some of them?

Thanks! Let's get it on!!!!!

[tliss]

C'mon guys! We've got 4 teams so far. Let's get this rolling!!

Tom

[OneRedTXBolt]

We're up to 12 teams now Tom!

[tliss]

Saweeet! I looked early this morning and it was only 4! Good deal. Let's play some football!!!

Tom

[MadNess]

dangit, I wanted to whip some butt! leagues all fullll :crying:

[Sixpipes]

Madness,

If you can get some folks in Halo interested, we can set up a private league with 4 Talon, 4 Halo, and 4Texas Lightniing-at-large entrants.

Looks like Fantasy Football is going to be the thing for me this year. I do fantasize about having a professional football team in Dallas again some day. :cool:

[OneRedTXBolt]

Six,

If that happens, please let me know :)

And your comment reminds of this joke I heard (From a Cowboys fan noless!)

Why doesn't Ft. Worth get a pro football team?

'Cuz then Dallas would want one too!! :d

[Sixpipes]

Yeah, but they're still tied with the Eagles. :p

[tliss]

D'oh!:d

Tom

[OneRedTXBolt]

Hey, the Eagles started out this way last year, and went to the NFC Championship game.... plus I know my coach will last the whole season without being fired :beer:

I can't believe Tom is talking smack - besides not even being a Cowboys fan - when was the last time the Bears did anything? 1985? :tongue:

[tliss]

Let's not go there. Look in the Hall of Fame, buddy! There's a lot more Bears in there than there are Eagles. Look to all of the championships from the beginnings of professional football and what do you see? The Bears have far more championships than the Eagles do?

Bears' Championships
1921, 1932, 1933, 1940, 1941, 1943, 1946, 1963, 1985
All Time Record 644-457-42

Eagles' Championships
1948, 1949, 1960
All Time Record 425-498-24

Interesting, the Bears have two (2) championships since the last Eagles' one!! Funny, were either of us alive the last time the Eagles won a championship?

Name the first NFL teams (1920):

Hammond Pros
Muncie Flyers
Rochester Jeffersons
Rock Island Independents
Decatur Staleys (now the Chicago Bears)
Racine Cardinals

Put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!:d :d Booyah!

Tom

[OneRedTXBolt]

Um, Tom...

U don't get out much do you?

:beer:

We all know that team sports is all about what have you done for me lately! You can spout off all the golden era championships ya want... Your team has won one more SuperBowl than the Eagles... and even that was 17 years ago...

You sound like a Cowboy fan saying - I know my team went 5-11 the last 2 years - but we won 5 SuperBowls!

Yea, but what have ya done for me lately?
11-5, NFC East Champions, lost to the NFC Champs in the NFC Championship.

And the Bears did what last year?

LOL!!!

[tliss]

I try not to! Football season is the best season of all! I get disconnected from the world on Sundays!

As a matter of fact, I am considering skipping On-Track so I can watch the Bears whoop up on the Bills in Buffalo. Can't miss a game!!

You know you like how quick I came up with those stats, huh? :eek2:

Tom

[OneRedTXBolt]

Hey - I edited my response! Check it out! :)

[tliss]

I know the Bears went 13-3, losing to your Feagles, but what have you done for me lately? Came back from behind to beat the Vikings, that's what. What have your Feagles done? Can someone say CHOKE?:eek2:

Last season is over..welcome to the Bears' year!!

Tom
