HBT Fantasy Football League

[Ridire]

3 of the 4 playoff teams are now set in stone, correct?

 

[WesleyS]

Our banned league manager, NIZZLE, wanted me to make sure everyone knows he is sending beer to the winner since he can't post it here himself.

 

[finsfan]

RIP nizzle, banned but never forgotten

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Yep ... you guys will all be 10-3 after tonight, two game lead over #4 with one game to go. I'm going to have to go through my cellar soon ...

 

[Ridire]

I've never shipped beer before. If I get eliminated, someone will have to let me know exactly how it is done...without getting myself in trouble with the man.

 

[finsfan]

its very easy and not too much risk at all. Even if they notice you are shipping beer, the worst thing that could happen if you cant use that company for awhile. Here is a good thread to read up on. The main thing to make sure it is packed very well and you wont have any problems!

And please, please, please! Do not mark the box with things like "Fragile" or "Handle with Care" ... that's code for "run this box over with a truck!"

 

[Andrikos]

I can't decide if it's comforting or depressing that you still would have beaten me even without Decker...

The biggest decision I have to make now is what bottle to send to the winner.

Trust me, I lost so many 1 point nailbiters recently, it felt good to fiiiiiinally win with ease Decker or not...

I've been playing on and off FFL for the last 15 years and it never ceases to amaze me how unpredictable it is...

PS I've my chosen beer ready to go to the lucky SOB to win it all. Either way, it will have been worth it.

Haha!
Why did that remind me of the opening scene of "Ace Ventura"?

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Wow! Marahawn has a pedestrian game and I still win?! Thank goodness Brees stunk it up!

My entire team had a crappy week. The projections suck. Good win.

Glad I benched Pierre Thomas this week.

Looks like Andrikos, Hello, and xMalachi are vying for the fourth spot.

 

[Hello]

I don't see playoffs in my future.
I'm crippled right now with Ridley out. I am left with less than 2 projected points from my only RB.

Ridley should be back this week

I could spare an RB but maybe i don't wanna.
My narrow defeat at your hands still stings..

 

[Hello]

hahaha well, it's not my fault.

It will be fun watching you two claw it out for the last playoff spot

Doesn't matter if you want to or not. We're three weeks past the trade deadline.

Claw nothing. Andrikos lost to both xMalachi and Hello, so if either of them wins, he's out. I won't complain if I don't have to play the highest scoring team in the league (again) in the first round of the playoffs.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Assuming your finishing in first, huh? Hope that works our for you!

Agreed, sorry Andrikos but Im definitely rooting against you

 

[TNGabe]

Me too. I've kept quiet since the last time I talked smack and kicked off a three game skid. Playoffs are going to kill me. I want the beer!

 

[Andrikos]

No problem.
You cannot be a bigger rooter_against_me than me.
I accidentally dropped my kicker (Justin Tucker).
That alone cost me 2 games. ei yiyi...

 

[BGBC]

The first three games (terrible draft) of the season screwed me. Still have the #5 total points in the league, but ranked 13th. Without those first three terrible games, I think I'd be a playoff contender. Down the stretch, about 75% of my points came from either trades or waiver pickups.

I know, break out the tiny violins...

I won the first week, then lost FIVE STRAIGHT! I was out by week six

 

[Fuzzymittenbrewing]

Who owns the tiebreaker between Hello and Nick??

 

[BGBC]

After head to head, I think it goes to total points scored

 

[mcbaumannerb]

I'm not sure that the head-to-head would decide it. I just beat Allen (yeastie boys) last week and we now have identical 7-6 records, but he is "ranked" above me.

Its pretty complicated at this point. I think it takes into account other games as well

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Yeah, that's true. There are 4 of us at 7-6 so head-to-head probably doesn't work (unless we've all played one another.) It doesn't really matter anyway - the higher ranked 7-6 team is going to be shipping a beer just like I will!

 

[finsfan]

What do we get for winning the HBT weekly pickem? Same prize right?!
