Any other mac users had to deal with this atrocious OS? I’ve never had my internet connection go from 15 mgb/sec to 60 kb/sec faster. That and a hardware crash, gah apple. That’s why I’m not buying you once I sell this thing.

On Life is a Brees, I’d recommend trading a WR or two for a solid RB.  I’d also “float” your D/ST  as the Jags aren’t very good and there’s usually a D/ST in free agency that has a good matchup.  Just rotate them in and out as needed.

Loose Goose looks pretty solid to me.  Unless you get a great offer, I’d keep it as is.

Hurt Locker is hard for me to say.  It looks like a deeper league (maybe 12 people?), but your opponent looks like he had a slightly better draft.  Without knowing options, I’m not sure what to tell you.

I won, although I had a little doubt going into Monday’s night game.  Julio Jones didn’t do much, but it wasn’t necessary anyway.  Victor Cruz and Reggie Bush really saved my ass.  I’m tied for first in a 3-way tie at 2-0.  I face one of the other undefeated this week.

On Hurt Locker, yes… It’s a deep league (16 player). They all started drafting QB’s early (Joe Flacco went start of the second round) cause they didn’t like the scoring system. I kept drafting normal, and next thing I knew I had this lopsided team. Should have changed middraft.

What about, the “Axis of Allies”?

That man needs to be electrocuted by puppies.

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.

I’m with you GG. Etta was terrific.

Does anyone else find this show interesting? Just a taste, this is one of the more interesting moments I’ve seen on TV in a while.

I know we have a few players of the game on here. I’m not sure if you knew but Days of Wonder just released an online version of the game for all platforms. It is free (for a bit), but it’s not too terrible a cost for playing ($8 for 80 games).

@Guerrilla:

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.

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.

I’m heading back to get my last credit of 20 towards a 4 year degree, going to feel a bit weird at 43, luckily both 1/2 credit courses are 4th year and the class size will be around 10 students.  Although computers have changed much, computer science and math doesn’t change much, I am still going to have a bit of a memory curve I’m sure!  Thankfully I won’t be living as poor student like I was 2 decades ago, the insurance company will pay me and even for the prime parking spot.  Mind you parking will not be as good as when I was in a wheelchair, but I’l gladly do the short walk now!

Smack in the middle of PA, Clinton & Centre counties, take your pick. There’s a spot where the east & west branches of the Susquehanna R come together (or split apart, if you like) where you’re surrounded on all sides by the forest-covered Appalachians, and other than a railroad line for coal trains, there’s pretty much nothing whatsoever for miles around….'cept the river, that is. The water is so clear and runs so fast, you can see the massive boulders that eroded & fell form the mountainsides over the millennia and now make up the bed of the river from your canoe. There’re isolated hunting camps & cabins out there but there isn’t anyone in 'em most of the year.

Just amazing to be in the center of the state, with clear air to see the stars, wildlife around that isn’t much scared of you, and all that silence. Not a traffic sound to be heard. Gotta love that.

Twilight Struggle has to be one of my favourite board games.

The mechanics are fairly simple, per se. However the real strategy lies in using and timing your use of cards well.

Plus, it is incredibly fun to throw down a card and yell at your opponent:

MISTER GORBACHEV, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!!!

Well said Mr. Malachai… So here is the situation I present: Best 100 IPC navy for both Attack and Defense. The navy, after all, is intended to go up against another navy of equal size and strength. I guess you could attach an amphibious assault to it, but that would be irrelevant in this rule set since an amphibious assault would depend completely upon the success of the “navy” and would not participate in this battle.

I ask this question because this is the best ruleset to discuss Naval buys. I am probably still thinking in a Revised mindset (played this version just twice, and not the whole way through). I am curious because no more can you just stack Trannies with a capital ship or destroyer…

I did not see Mallott from Arkansas falling that far.
