    I'm going to the Viking/Giants game this year with my friend who is obviously a Vikings fan.

    I'm trying to decide if I should bet him that whomever's team has the better record at the time has to wear the jersey of that team to the game. So if I lose I wear a Vikings Jersey, if he loses he wears a giants Jersey.

    I think the Vikings will be decent this year. Maybe a 9 win team.

    That giants I have no idea. They never seem to do what you expect. They look terrible coming into the season they win a super bowl. They look great coming jnto the season they lose their first 7 games.

    I hate losing bets so I'm torn on how kick faith I have in my team.

    Did you see this article by Bill Barnwell? Because once again the Giants are well and truly snakebit, it's not looking good for them this year.

    I know buy everytime I write them off before the season starts they end up winning games.

    maybe you should prematurely write them off for their sake then?

    TDOT could you at least log in to yahoo and renew so I could attempt to shift ownership, my only option at this point is to delete your team which I feel like would suck for any new owners since they'd lose all their current players but everyone else is keeping most of theirs so the pool will be very small.

    What's the cost of keepers in dynasty? I am actually debating keeping Benjamin\Nelson on the roster all year, but if it is expensive to keep them then too bad.

    The draft is... RIGHT NOW!

    and it's over. I got all the good players. Everyone else got Cleveland Brown backups.

    Madden came out with tons of bugs and it's so bad that even one of the developers is recommending folks wait for the next patch to play CFM (aka the only non-pay-to-play mode) and the only timetable mentioned for that patch is "less than six weeks."

  • LanglyLangly Registered User regular
    Do we have a date yet for the draft Langly? He'll do we have enough teams yet?

    we only have one team left to renew. I'll set the draft date soon. I would imagine it will be sometime next week or early in the next.

    At this time i'll take recruits to replace @FortyTwo since I haven't heard anything yet.

    "But the woman's suit lays out a completely different version of events. Contrary to media reports, she contends, she did not pass out from drinking too much. Instead, she slipped and fell on a "negligently maintained, dangerously slippery deck" near McDonald's swimming pool and struck her head, passing out for eight minutes. She also claimed the video shows that McDonald believed her to be dead. But instead of calling 911, he told others at the party that he did not want a dead woman to be found on his property.

    In her lawsuit, the woman contended that after passing out by the pool, she regained consciousness but fell several more times as a result of both the head injury and her alcohol consumption. It claims that while she was unconscious from one of those falls, Brooks groped her in a "sexual manner.""

    Thankfully it looks like one of those fucks is out of the league

    FYI Dynasty league some of you will absolutely be receiving messages about trades. I'm basically willing to sack...everybody? If you've got someone I want. Maybe keep Arizona's Defense, but I'm not super picky.

    I've already messaged one team, but if you've got Greg Olsen please hit me up.

    The Lions one today was the best so far for fan submissions

    Being a Lions fan has made me hate the sport of football.
    I have had the displeasure of watching the Lions waste the best RB and WR of all time without even winning two playoff games in a row.
    Matt Stafford is the dirt worst. His record against teams with a winning record, you ask? 3-32, with bonus points for 0-18 on the road against winning teams.
    The Lions have made the playoffs 5 times since 1995. Here are their records the season after the first four of those years:

    5-11

    5-11

    9-7

    4-12
    I was gonna say, “At least we’re not the Jaguars.” But the goddamn Jaguars have made it to a Conference Championship game more recently than we have.
    The NFC North has been in existence for 13 years, consists of a mere 4 teams, and yet somehow the Lions have still never managed to win it. Every other team in the division has won it at least 2x. Pair this stat with the fact that we are one of only 4 teams to never have made the Super Bowl (the other 3 did not exist for many years due to relocation/ expansion) and you have a real testament to futility.

    We took the most electrifying running back in history and crushed his soul to the point that he flew to England to eat blood sausage rather than break the NFL rushing record. We’re going to waste Megatron’s career as well. First with a coach who thought he was an MMA fighter, and now with a coach who calls a timeout to think out calling more timeouts.
    After the Lions won their first three pre-season games I was vacationing in Las Vegas in August 2008. The odds for the Lions to win the Super Bowl were at 160 – 1. Then they won the last pre-season game. The odds went down to 80 -1 on all the casinos except for the Mirage where I was staying. They were 3-0 in the pre-season and looking great! I took this as a sign and purchased five $20 wagers on the Lions to win at 160 -1. I came back to Michigan and gave one of these each to my 4 bowling friends and one for myself. The only condition was that if Detroit won, they would use the money to bank-roll a great trip with me back to Vegas.

    After the Lion’s third loss, one bowler gave me his ticket back. After the fourth loss, another bowler game me his back. After the sixth loss, the last two bowlers tore their tickets up in front of me.
    The Lions’ coaching history has 26 coaches, and for 13 of them, it was their one and only head coaching job ever.
    William Clay Ford was our old owner—he died last year, that’s why we had the WCF patches. Urban legend has it that the Ford family bought the Lions for William so he wouldn’t ruin the company. Seems like the family was onto something there.
    The Lions lost a first-ballot Hall of Famer who is probably the best defensive player to ever wear Honolulu Blue. Because of the team’s cap situation, this was almost universally regarded as the right decision.
    Our quarterback once ran out of the back of his own end zone. The Lions lost that game by 2.
    The 2011 NFL Draft Class is considered one of the best draft classes from 2000-present. The Lions are the only team in the NFL that doesn’t have a single player left from their 2011 Draft Class
    We have a history of players getting dumb injuries and being out for long periods of time: Nate Burleson trying to save pizza during a car crash, causing a broken arm, Joe Fauria hurting his ankle trying to prevent his puppy from peeing in the house, and the infamous Stephen Tulloch tearing his ACL celebrating a sack doing the discount double check
    George Bush Sr was in office the last time we won a game in the State of Wisconsin.

    I'm one to talk since I only finished 1 spot above your team, but yea your roster is kinda gnarly.

    Secrets, lies, and tragedy. The trifecta.

    @Langly how do we find out what round/pick we have to give up for a given keeper in Dynasty?

    do you mean what order we have for the current draft? Once I get a confirmed team to replace 42 I can set the draft order, which will be based on the standings from last year. I can't do that until then though.

    No I mean, like, what draft slot do I lose if I wanna keep Brees, etc.

    OH I mean, nothing. There is no cost for keepers.

    this is the NFL, son.

  • ToxTox I kill threads he/himRegistered User regular
    Okay, sweet.

    Except, now I'm confused because how does that work. My team is already full, and we're gonna have a draft. So do I have to cut people before the draft? Can I cut people as I draft, the same way you would normally sign a free agent during the season, or what?

    Sorry I am n00bing super hard right now.

    I think You just choose not to keep people and those are the slots you fill with draft players.

    yeah, just don't select people to keep, and that will be how many people you can replace.

    While last year's draft was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long, this one should be pretty quick because people will be keeping a lot of players.

    I can't believe Manziel's hurt again already

    brady, blount, bell, and bryant are all currently suspended for the season opener

  • ButtersButters A glass of some milks Registered User regular
    According to his Pettine, Manziel has a wonky throwing motion that has caused elbow soreness his whole career dating back to high school. Which is unusually revealing for an NFL coach but then again maybe he has no choice but to be totally honest else everyone will suspect something crazy being an underlying issue since it's Johnny.

    Anyway, feel sorry for my Browns fan friends. They really wanted Johnny to be the one.

    If you can't find anyone else I'll do it. I haven't played fantasy in years and never a keeper league.

    If anyone else wants the slot give it to them. I won't flake out on the season or anything I just don't have any great enthusiasm for fantasy football.
