Football SUICIDE/SURVIVAL League.... (with a nice prize)

[the_bird]

I picked a f*cking team, I did it like friggin' four days ago. I picked whoever was playing Tampa this week - Seattle, I think. WTF? I swear to freakin' God, I was checking the odds and everything...

 

[the_bird]

And now I can't connect to f*cking Yahoo!..............

If the wife wasn't feeling amorous right now, I'd be REALLY pissed off...

Seems crazy that you can't pick a team up until Sunday.

yahoo's been fckuing up all week, starting with our ffb draft. they're down again as i type

 

[olllllo]

Yahoo server shenanigans.

Doesn't change the fact that Manning and Wayne are reaming me a new one.

 

[the_bird]

I should have f*cking double-checked that the pick didn't get wiped out after their server issues the other night...

F*ck it, I'm out ten bucks, I'm out ten bucks. ******* asshats.

Bummer

 

[Bernie Brewer]

honestly though, bird, can't you fix it somehow? Or are you truly screwed????

 

[the_bird]

I would appear to be completely screwed. It's got me as "dead," and the commissioner tools are pretty limited. I could reset the group, but that deletes ALL the picks, hosing everybody else.

I am so f*cking pissed right now, I can't even express it.... I'll be rooting for Tampa Bay this weekend!

 

[the_bird]

Actually, would anybody be pissed if I did this league manually? I can post my pick here in this thread before the first game of the week, and it's not like any math is involved.

And Yoops, if you want to handle the money aspects..... well, I'm not the most organized person in the world, so that would be appreciated (BUT I DID MAKE AND CONFIRM MY ******* PICK THIS WEEK! : mad

 

[Dude]

OUCH.

Bird, I'm fine with giving you another chance.

I'm also fine with blowing up the league and doing it again next week, if that is possible.

 

[Yooper]

Well, I'll be glad to handle the money. I'll have everyone who has paypal send me the $10. For those of you who don't have Paypal, I'll send you my address to mail a check!

What I need is a PM from everybody with your league team name, your HBT id and how you're paying. I'll PM you back either my Paypal address or my mailing address for your check. Does that sound ok?

I'm ok with starting next week and skipping this week. That will give us the time to make our picks and get our money together.

 

[Yooper]

Or..... you three that missed the deadline just put your picks in here. You'll be out soon enough anyway!

 

[98EXL]

I don't care what the deal is...I just wanna have fun!

 

[rdwj]

Or..... you three that missed the deadline just put your picks in here. You'll be out soon enough anyway!

that seems like the easiest thing to do.

 

[the_bird]

Yeah, I'm not blowing it up. My pick, to reiterate, is SEATTLE over Tampa Bay.

 

[Yooper]

Yeah, I'm not blowing it up. My pick, to reiterate, is SEATTLE over Tampa Bay.

Ok, what about the other two? The CockKnockers and one other (the name escapes me now)? Are you guys still in?

 

[uniconfis]

I'm surprised that you can't alter your pick with the commissioner tools. Yahoo was struggling last night. I'm cool with inputing my picks however necessary.

 

[the_bird]

Nope, tried. Keeps me from cheating, I guess.

Yahoo!'s all f*cked up. Go to http://sports.yahoo.com/ (or click on the "Sports" link on Yahoo!'s home page, you get this message,

[the_bird]

OK, was able to get in another way...

[the_bird]

cellar603 is the other "dead" member; no idea who it is, and email is hidden. If they (and ***********) doesn't post in here with their picks before 12:00 noon on Sunday, they're done-done.

 

[uniconfis]

Bird, just curious if there is a setting to change the start week to week 2? Just a thought.

 

[the_bird]

I could reset everyone's picks and we'd start at week 2, but I don't want to do that.

 

[rdwj]

Bird, just curious if there is a setting to change the start week to week 2? Just a thought.

Actually - not a bad idea. Restart for week 2 and require payment before the games start next week.

 

[the_bird]

I'll add a poll...

 

[Bernie Brewer]

I voted for the reset, but if you'd rather do it manually, that's fine too. Either way, since it really was Yahoo's f-up, (again) you'd get a mulligan.

 

[98EXL]

I've paid Yoop....who else has done that yet?

 

[rdwj]

I've paid Yoop....who else has done that yet?

I am going to send mine later today

 

[olllllo]

Did she pm us a paypal thingy?

 

[olllllo]

Anyone else get this email?

Yahoo! offers some of the finest service in the Intarnets. The site is extremely well resourced and the staff, and its servers, are conscientious, helpful and very sensitive to all comments suggestions and criticisms from their customers. Yahoo! continuously, proves their dedication to the fantasy football community through educational classes conducted at Yahoo! and are constantly striving to meet the demands and desires of their clientele. I have never been dissatisfied with the quality of any web service.
