FFB Veteran League - HBT Challenge!

Come on east-coasters. It's only 12:10a over there; you can keep trash talking a little while longer. I'm enjoying the show. And sleep is over-rated anyways.

Actually, I'm just waiting, Jester indicated earlier that he and Red might be posting some new pics later on tonight

 

[Yooper]

Wow- I went to sleep and missed out on all the fun! Nice avatar, Walker BTW.


RDWJ- I'd be up for a trade, maybe. Let me look and see how I can possibly improve my team. I've got at least one to unload today.

 

[Walker]

Nice avatar, Walker BTW.

Thanks. I'm rather fond of the tagline above it. Bird failed to specify one for me, so I'm taking liberties until he decides what he wants there.

I don't mind, really. If you want to keep whining, go right ahead. I think I've had better luck getting my daughter to quit whimpering, though; maybe she can reason with you.

Funny thing - teams have tried to steal signals for years and years and years. Bill Simmons mentioned in a recent column how he was watching an old Favre game when they were playing I think the 49ers, and Favre was giving some commentary. They knew the 49ers had been stealing their signals, so they made adjustments - fake calls, etc. They dealt. The world didn't end, football didn't lose all of its credibility because tried to steal signals.

The Pats broke the rules, I'm disappointed. They're losing a freakin' first round draft pick, which one might equate to losing our starting running back. If you REALLY think that the only reason they have had success over the years has been that "they're a bunch of cheaters, dammit," well, there's no reasoning with you. Screw it, think what you want to think. All the venemous hate that's being directed at the Pats does nothing more than unite the team, them against the world; while I don't expect they'll go 16-0, it wouldn't shock me if they did.

I *know* you're not naive enough to think that the Patriots are the only team that's bent/broken these rules... are you?

EDIT: Maybe you should start rooting for the Packers or something this year... you seem to have some unresolved issues that maybe rooting for a GOOD team might help alleviate

 

[Walker]

*sigh*

I've been trying very hard to get you to throw a tantrum all week, and I guess this is as close as I'm going to get. Fooey.

Pick the tagline, man....

Any Chiefs fans out there?

 

[Cheesefood]

This sucks. 5th highest score in the league, and nearly in last place.

I'm sorry, you must have mistaken us for people who give a sh!t!!!!!!!!

Suck it up ******!!!!!!

 

[Walker]

"5th highest score" sounds pretty good..... except when you add the context that there are only 12 teams.

Still sounds like I should have at least 1 win.

 

[user 574]

10th worst in points here and ranked 6th at .500. It's all about the matchups and apparently I'm in for a losing streak soon .

 

[user 574]

Game on this weekend BernieMcGipper! I don't care if anyone votes for me; you're going DOWN this weekend. Bottom of the Lake with Ya!

(PS - I voted against me too.)

Hmmmm, sounds like a wager in the making, no matter who you voted for!!!!

More trash talk than anything . I may wager on occasion but betting on this game would be like expecting to win Powerball with a $1 ticket.

Who has Travis Henry? Looks as if he may be suspended for the year?

Don't believe the hype Bernie. Keep him in your lineup. They're just playing mind games with the Chargers.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Uh, oh. This could be a problem.

 

[Cheesefood]

Good news! After this week, either ollllllo or I will have a win.

 

[Walker]

Crap. Coles just went down.

GET UP, PUNK!

 

[Walker]

And I am an IDIOT for not starting Ward ths week.

I blame all of this on Dude and Boston. They dragged me out drinking yesterday and I didn't get to finalize my team properly.

 

[Walker]

It's pretty much half-time for the early games.

Scores are:

Walker, your avatar makes me chuckle. Imagine if that was an MLT.

That *would* be funny; the contents would be a nice scalding 152F.

 

[Dude]

Why so dry? Lets go for a maltier brew on that one.

 

[the_bird]

The hot water might feel pretty good, when we have home games late in January. Prolly not so much an issue in Cincinnati this year, eh?

 

[Walker]

DAMN! Anyone watchin that NY vs NY game?

That catch by Burress was worth probably 22 points for me.

64-32. You're doubling up on me. Better run, don't walk, out and buy that Powerball ticket. Get one for me while you're at it. Yeesh!

 

[Yooper]

Anybody with stat tracker want to post more current scores? Thanks!
