  • I assume the ROMO problem is that he is a keeper? if your the league commisioner you can change the keeper settings. naturally you could vote on it :0)

    The system locks the best players in every position to avoid cheating, which is a good thing. Romo is not a top quarterback and should not have a lock on him IMO. Trading Romo to Beck for a receiver. I wanted to trade Romo for Crabtree and just leave Crabtree on my bench for spite. (Did I say I don't like Romo?) I am still interested in trading one of my RBs for a top reciever.


    Standings after week 4 are:

    1. wolfbear 3-1-0 495
    2. jswieton2 3-1-0 484
    3. Fighting Ditka's 3-1-0 468

    10. Beck's OC Qualifiers 1-3-0 369
    11. Navarro's Nook 1-3-0 344
    12. The Meteorites 0-4-0


    Lost again falling into last place as the only team without a win. That's alright, all teams have at least one loss now, and the field is open.

    Congrats to wolfbear for taking the leader spot.

    Week 5 games to watch:

    #1 wolfbear vs jimq...the only 3-1 matchup.

    Week 5 Bonus Contest

    I will award the high score of the week for week 5 a free PSA 10 and will try to match that persons interest to some degree. (What do you mean you only collect graded tennis cards?)

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not this week I have 5 players on the bye.... thanks for the nice offer for the league!
    image
  • The winner on my high score of the week contest.......was me. Won my first game 151 to 149 over OTWCards is a close game. It looked like I would lose high score to Durkheim Delinquents, who started Monday with 148 pts. and the Jets defense but the Dolphins came out strong yesterday. Will likely do a high score of the week contest again after bye-weeks.

    Standings after week 5

    1. jswieton2 4-1 619
    2. jimq 4-1 458

    11. Beck's OC Qualifiers 1-4 469
    12. Navarro's Nook 1-4 451

    It is really amazing jimq is in second with the second lowest total score of the week. He's like the 49ers....they find ways to win.

    Week 6 game to watch: OTWCards (3-2) vs Durkheim Delinquents (3-2).

    First place has been a curse this year. A curse I am unlikely to suffer.

    Week 7 is behind us and once again we have a leader change.

    The Meteorites managed another victory giving us a 3-4 record and just one game out (from a playoff position along with half a dozen plus others). Not too shaby after a 0-4 start and we still have half the season to go.

    Congrats to Scott and Felicia for kicking my butt last weekend, and I guess Hines Ward has been great for me all year so I shouldn't be mad if he takes a week off.

    1 catch for 3 yards against a team with a starting CB out. Yikes.

  • << <i>Yeah 2 wins now!!!!!! Thanks replay for taking away the TD that would of given OTW the win >>




    That was a pretty close game....looked like he was going to catch you.

    Once again the #1 spot loss and once again, the majority of the top 5 loss. This week all 5-2 teams loss, which gives us our 5-3 tie for 1st (pts. aside) plus another four teams, myself included at 4-4.

    The Meteorites won again giving us a 4-4 record and very much in the playoff race. I lost every game this year that I started Tony Romo....and have every game since dropping him. Releasing Romo also is what allowed me to pick up Austin, so that has worked out pretty well so far. Only problem is KCs line is very weak and it only gives Cassell a few seconds, along with a few sacks every game....meaning, I hope he can stay healthy. Sanchez did well for me Sunday but I don't want to have to rely on him.

    Will post scores and look ahead sometime today or tomorrow.

  • Congrats last week to Beck's OC Qualifiers for high score of the week. You have three wins now and it seems like that was your third high score of the week.

    1. jswieton2 5-3 937

    3. wolfbear 5-3 911

    7. Fighting Ditka's 4-4 888
    8. The Meteorites 4-4 881
    9. Durkheim Delinquents 4-4 786
    10. Beck's OC Qualifiers 3-5 804
    11. Morgoth's Last Laugh 2-6 804
    12. Navarro's Nook 2-6 771

    None of the 5-3 teams are matched up this week, which opens the door for a possible 9 way time for 1st next week.

    Matchup of the week: jimq 5-3 (797) vs Durkheim Delinquents 4-4 (788). Both teams average about the same points, both teams are at the bottom of their win-loss position.

    Good luck down the stretch!

    The loss I had last week was painful.

    A win would've put me in first place all by myself, the loss put me in fourth place.

    Of course, I had the third most points of the week but was matched up against Beck's OC, the team with the most points, and lost by 10
    points, mostly because of an insane 26 points scored by his defense! Don't you hate when you lose to a defense?!?

    Oh well, I guess we're all still in the hunt with a long way to go, hopefully can get back on track.

    Either way, it's been fun.

    It has been feast or famine for my team. You are correct that I have won three times and all three times it has been the most points scored. That late touchdown by the Bears sealed the deal. I had to pick them up, they were playing the Browns. This week will be a different story I am afraid with Peterson and Thomas Jones on the bench.

    I've been in the same fantasy league for 14 or 15 years now, a pretty competitive league, and joined a second league this year. Both can win you a top prize of close to a thousand bucks and the live drafts with your buddies are a blast.

    That being said, I agree with you Jim. I've put more effort and interest into this league hoping to win a couple of ball cards. I think this leagues a blast. And with 8 or 9 teams still very much in it, it should be fun down the stretch.

    Now who out there needs running back help?? I could use a receiver.

    Any of you guys stuck with a RB that was injured last week (Portis, Turner, Westbrook, Brown, Benson, etc.),

    Tomorrow is the last day in the league for trades. I've got Brandon Jacobs up for trade. Most the "experts" have him as a top 12 back the last half of the season. He's not doing me any good on my bench, looking to upgrade to a low end WR1 or high end WR2 for him.

    Send offers.

    shawn
  • I could spare Roy Williams, Nate Burleson or Braylon Edwards...but they are likely around mid-2nd though. The Bowe trade would have worked if I could have seen it before you canceled it and we could roll back time so he didnt get suspended.

    The Bowe suspension really hurts me as Cassel is my QB, who has been doing pretty good. Think I might try Garrard this week. I need to try to win 3 of the last 4....not sure if my team can do it though.

    It may be possible if every team loses the way I need them too, but this week likely killed me. Taking those four loses at the beginning of season was too much to overcome in the end. I think I am also down to one player from the draft that is playable. (I have decided to keep Westbrook but not play him even if he does play week 14 or whenever....if he plays again that is.)

    I have decided to blame my team not making the playoffs on thenavarro and his two victories against me. I am sure it was not my players or management. So Navarro....you are doomed to be my hated sport rival. We will now burn effugee leprechauns during tale gate parties, make rude signs and teach the crowd chats against you.

    I think if you finish with a worse record than me, you're suppose to send me your entire collection of Alan Knicely cards....or something like that. I don't remember either.

    That cannot be true. I would never have agreed to play for such stakes. Too risky

    I'm doubting I will be able to overcome my midseason slump, but I'm going to give it the ole college try.

    I may just have to drop the avatar and put my wife up instead... She's always managed to bring me luck before. In fact, I'm going to the site and dropping her in right now. Sorry to those that have become accustomed to my little fantasy football sweetie but I'll add a "real" woman, now . . .

    I totaly screwed myself this week. I should have easily won if I would have just done a little research. Unless Derick Mason gets hurt in the first quarter of the Monday night game I totaly botched this week. I hate myself.
