Ah! Now I see it

@Whackamatt:

YG,

I too have heard that the briefcase contains Marcellus’ soul.  One piece of evidence towards that theory is that you never see Marcellus’ face until AFTER he gets the case back, i.e. before that he is souless and hence has no face.

That’s interesting, there should be a separate movie explaining all this stuff. Do you have an explaination as to why they waited a few minutes before entering the apartment?

Hi Mallery. I am afraid I have not read that book. Doesn’t sound like my thing.
Victory definitely worth a visit. Is in Portsmouth, about 90mins from central London.
Have never seen a Battleship and that one sounds interesting. Thanks.

Yeah, since Fister is starting tomorrow, I’ve already dropped Vogelsong, and after Buerhle’s nice performance yesterday, he certainly is showing promise.

There are 14, so the Waivers aren’t slim pickings either. Ross Detwiler was just waiting for me to pick up and he already had like one or two good games.

Crap, that’s too awesome! Well, at least getting the money.

In my ESPN league (the one that I started 0-3) I ended 6-8 and I got invited back next year. Basically, for being my first year, I did pretty good managing the waiver wire. I had CJ Spiller, and I know, that was amazing having him as both WR and RB. I used him as a WR and I had Turner and MJD. It was awesome!

In my Yahoo league, I had a 7-6 regular season and made it to the playoffs (7th seed out of 16 total players). First week I slaughtered the 2nd seed, and I wasn’t supposed to win. Needless to say, Wes Welker + Percy Harvin + Chris Johnson all ran wild that week. Great game, totally shocked the whole group. Next week, I had a bad matchup against Aaron Rodgers, Rob Gronwkoski and Julio Jones. In my flex, I should have started Donald Brown (that was the week he had the 80 yard touchdown), but that still wouldn’t have won me the game. So, that loss took me to a battle for third place. I’ll post the results below. It was laughably hilarious how bad he failed on Sunday night. And what made it even better Brandon Lafell was on his bench. Needless to say, the commish gave me high marks for pulling up as far as I did for a rookie fantasy player. I’m the stats on the right…

Well, I haven’t seen the money yet and the commissioner of the league “forgot” to give my brother his money while he was in town.  He’s probably just mad I beat him 3 weeks in a row…
I apparently gave up on my other leagues too soon but it was beginning to be too much time investment.  I mean, I could set players fine, but I kept losing so many.  Oh well.

Just one year of playing gave me an immense amount of info I needed to know.  Of course, the rules changed the following year, and you need to know how your point scoring works before you start drafting, but I went from barely missing the playoffs to taking the entire league in 1 year.  The other leagues were just for fun.

Nice matchup, but sometimes a great team during the season peters out by playoffs because of people resting, injuries, etc.  A lot of it is luck in the end.

@Jermofoot:

I had Run DMC put up squat for me as well, but I also had Arian Foster he got me like 40, so it worked out.

In my 12 man league I lost again.  Matt Cassell put up nearly nothing, Lynch went down, and someone else I can’t remember.  I’m freaking 2-5 and about to unload my players to my buddy if I don’t win next week.  I just can’t believe the team I drafted did this…

I don’t play F.F but I live and breathe NFL football. Next season ask me about some players, Matt Cassell is at best an average qb. Put me on your general Staff.

He was my second string quarterback, in because my starter was on a bye week or injured…can’t remember which.  There was literally no one available that could give me points and no one was trading.  I also figured between Dwayne Bowe, Steve Breaston, and the running backs, he could get a couple of TDs and a couple hundred yards.  But I have no problems coming back here and posting what I’m thinking for a lineup. It’s good to know if anyone has an ear out because it’s not always displayed on the fantasy info.

Anyone interested in an A&A baseball league for fun?  Or maybe money…or something worthwhile.

Just remember that there are only three methods Doctors have to “cure” you.

They can burn you.
They can poison you.
They can cut you.

Meanwhile, sometimes pills are necessary, but you know what?  The Army taught me that 90% of your health problems could be cured if you drank double the recommended water per day. (AMA recommendation of course, which is 64 ounces of water over 12 hours.)  Personally, I drink between 4 and 6 liters of water and here’s the results:

Cholesterol way down.  (Even my good cholesterol.)
Blood Pressure down to normal
Loosing weight
Less Hungery
No more allergies
Easier to breathe while working out vigorously
No more dry mouth
General good feeling throughout the day, no highs or lows.
Harder to get sick, faster to recover from getting sick.

Yea, I’d say good ol H2O is the best thing to happen to mankind since the dawn of man when it comes to health and well being.

Or playing videogames like “Crash and Burn,” or “Doom,” or running around in our birthday suits on the field during an NFL game.

=)

But hey, at least you girls weren’t subject to the draft back in the day when women mostly stayed at home.

Although I can see how a womans’ life would become very much repetitive and BORING just sitting around at home, which is why the boardgame industry was booming in those days (I’ve been un-employed for about 2 months now and it’s driving me insane, one would think it’d be easier to get  ajob in the big city).

have there been any other hacks of this site since this thread?
