Fantasy football anyone?

[the_bird]

I should have started Maroney, this was the first good game he's had in a while. Gotta say, I'm shocked the game wasn't closer.

What's the extent of Favre's injury? Is the streak in danger?

 

[user 574]

Haven't heard. The way he was holding it I figured it was certainly serious. But then he was tossing some on the side. Funny, the way he was playing before that happened I was almost hoping that they'd toss the rook in there. Yea, that didn't help much...

 

[the_bird]

Rodgers isn't a rook, he's either second or third year. What's up with him refusing to answer questions after the game, though? That ain't cool, you've got to stand up and be accountable whether it's 35-0 or 0-35.

 

[Dude]

Now you Favre haters can understand why Brett Favre is the only hope they have. Rodgers just doesn't have it.

I heard on Fox sports that Favre's injury is a stinger--some soreness and numbness but he "should" play next week. Thank God. Rodgers was awful.

Guys....check out where I'm watching my football now....most of the room is completed. The next things to copmplete are to put up the green blinds, hang some more memorabilia and paint some lines on the floor....

This is 20+ years of collecting and ideas finally coming to fruition. The Packer games are now played in surround sound on a 100 inch HD screen. It is so amazing. Obviously the camera/flash isn't doing the screen justice, but you can imagine....

 

[the_bird]

Sounds like the kind of injury that he can't really fight though; you can either grip the football or you can't.

My only complaint about the Favre thing was that he strung them along so long with his "I'm probably retiring, nah, I'm not" thing that they couldn't go after Drew Brees (whose success in New Orleans has not been a surprise at all, he's always been underrated), or draft Matt Leinhart.

 

[the_bird]

Room looks great, Dude. When's the party?

That would be an awesome room if it weren't for all that Packer crap messing it up

My eyes!!!!! I'm blind!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!! Too much yellow and green!!!!!!!

 

[rdwj]

Alright - ONE point from Tiki tomorrow and I have my first win in quite a while

I need points from Tiki in another league so I hope you beat me! :cross:
I know if he plays he'll get at least one point so I may as well root for a big game so I can win my other game!

All right looks like me and the Goombas are slugging it out this week. Dude sweet looking room.

Well, supposedly he was hurt, that is probably the reason. Rumor is he is done for the year with a broken foot.

No longer a rumor.

Aaron Rodgers placed on IR

I think this is a good thing for everyone involved. It looks as though Favre will be around another year and this broken foot will almost certainly hurt Rodgers' development.

 

[todd_k]

yes.... keep on postponing the rebuilding process! muahahahaha!!!!!! muahahahaha!!!!! ::cough:: ::cough:: muahaha!

Bird - what's the Bears / Pats bet?

 

[user 574]

Oh yea, when I said he was a rook; I knew he was in his 2nd year but from playing experience, he's a rook.

Man do the gnats suck.

 

[the_bird]

Bird - what's the Bears / Pats bet?

Make me an offer. Is there a line yet?

Do you bottle or keg? I like homebrew bets, we can do what Walker and I did; winner gets three, loser gets one. If you don't bottle, local micros (stuff I can't get around here) would suffice.

Ya, I'm a kegger - have yet to bottle even one beer.

I don't think there is a line, but I'm guessing that the Pats will be favored.

 

[the_bird]

Do you want to bet local micros instead of homebrew? Berkshire Brewing Company makes some very good brews, only in bombers, though.

Winner gets two bombers (or four 12oz bottles), loser gets one (or 2-12oz)?

In addition, loser changes their sig and avatar for one week, following the same parameters established in the "The Wager" thread?

Are we on? Straight-up, no lines (I'm not sure the Pats will be favored, this will be a close game).

Works for me, but I'd like one of your IPAs

 

[the_bird]

I only have a couple left, but I'll reserve one for you.

So, officially, WE ARE ON!

Yeppers! Not sure what you'd like from the Chicagoland area, but I'll find something. My LHBS is also a Micro. They might have something you'd like.

 

[todd_k]

I'm in. Pats are giving 3 points. I'll gladly take those points!

 

[the_bird]

Same terms?

 

[todd_k]

Same terms?

You bet! Are you agreeing to the 3 points?

Also, how did I win that game? I thought my game was tied and Tiki got 1 point?

 

[the_bird]

Straight-up, I can't keep track of points. If it's good enough for rdwj, it should be good enough for you...

what's a matter? a little nervous about being the favorite? I'm already breaking my "only suckers bet on the NFL" rule and you want to go straight up? Fine. Your beer will taste all the better once the Bears whoop your boys Sunday.

 

[the_bird]

Who's the favorite again? I don't even know. The Pats aren't favored, are they?

When it's betting for money, points matter. Betting for pride - all that matters is the "W".
