I'd be glad to draft for you. No problem. PM me your passwords. You can change it to a temporary one if you'd like.

So you are boycotting them because they are following the policies they had set in place and you agreed to when you signed up? Fight on Robin Hood, fight on.

[THEINCREDIBLEdork]

F3lix, did you read your terms of agreement?

[SittinOnDubsWGW]

Yeah, I just realized that and was logging in to in to say, "nevermind I'll just auto-draft"

[thekremlin]

Oh, apparently the draft was on saturday, not sunday.

FUCKING COOL.

[f3lix]

Not like there wasn't a countdown on the league page or anything. Or that it was discussed here. Or that if you paid a little sooner, you'd have anticipated the draft a bit more.

[Ugly Bastard]

Don't mind him, kremlin. He's just cranky because his team is awful.

[f3lix]

Not as awful as the Padres.

[Ugly Bastard]

Cross posted this on the fantasy football message board too:

Doing a $100 survivor pick'em league. Orgazmo already in. f3lix said he would play too but can't find any space on his schedule to cross out "change tampon" and "get nailed in the ass" to make his weekly pick, so he's out.

$100 Football Survival League

[f3lix]

There is no edge in this game. As seen in the draft of the World Cup teams, you're just throwing all the money into a bag and throwing the bag to somebody who doesn't make the most +EV play in one specific week.

[Ugly Bastard]

I couldn't disagree more. If you could re-pick teams from week-to-week, I'd see your point. But since you cannot, there is a decent amount of strategy involved. Suggesting that anyone who doesn't make the most +EV play in any given week is in actuality the most +EV in this game as well as comparing this to having as much luck as the World Cup pool are both ludicrous.

[SittinOnDubsWGW]

siding with UB on this one.

I've seen pools with 25+ people in it with the winners being decided by week 11.

I'm on the fence if I'm gonna join the pool.

[f3lix]

Pools of 25 are slashed by week 11 because rarely is any team favorite more than 80-20. That 20% roles in and swipes the majority of the league.

[SittinOnDubsWGW]

whoever i'm facing this week, you're welcome, as I didn't change my roster at all.

[Orgazmo]

Fantastic MNF game, even better finish between ID and f3lix. Brees to Colston puts f3lix up by 2.57 but also sets up the game-winning field goal that takes 3 points from the 49ers D and ends with ID winning by .43 points.

F3lix, will you be killing yourself over this?

Of course, it's all sorta tentative for now.

[THEINCREDIBLEdork]

f3lix is 0-2.

[Ugly Bastard]

Great fantasy finish and a great finish in the game too. Over, under, spread, moneyline, and many alternate lines were all still up for grabs in final two minutes. Great game.

[BigDongedHoe]

f3lix is 0-2.

[Mr. Blonde]

So does this mean BDH won't be posting for another year?

[Ugly Bastard]

I just clicked to get here to show this to you bitches:

Austin: just finishing

do you still want alex smith?

me: i'm not going to tell you i don't want him

i can tell you that
12:19 AM
Austin: are you interested at all in cadillac williams + alex smith for any of your 3 good rbs?
12:20 AM
me: phewww

i won't say it doesn't make me consider it

Austin: i think it's a close deal

me: but i feel like now with vick

that alex is, at most, just a couple points per week advantage

an advantage i'm more than giving up in swapping any of those 3 for cadillac williams
12:21 AM
Austin: vick isn't solid, though

but i see what you're saying

me: now if you wanted, say, neil rackers instead of any of my 3 rbs, then we could talk

i'd be here talking then

vick is so fucking solid

i'll back that with prop betting dollars too

Austin: hmm

well he's solid

but one shit-tastic week and he won't see the field again

not as a starter

2 fumbles and he's pulled

TWO

me: i see a total number of season fantasy points prop bet here
12:22 AM
j'sin
12:23 AM
lolol omfg

yahoo lists michael vick as the FIFTH QB down the list in projections for total fantasy season points

Austin: good god

me: alex smith is 17th

so how about this

Austin: ridiculous
12:24 AM
me: how about fuck alex smith

and that the fact that vick got named starter an hour after you turned down $75

the karma gods were unleashed on your ass

so i'll just stand pat with what god has blessed me with and get your $100

Austin: there will come a time in your life

it won't be too far from today

when you will reflect on this moment with an intense feeling of regret

I'll not rub it in, though
12:25 AM
because I'll be sympathetic to your feelings

me: oh no, sir

oh no

i named you a 7 to 1 favorite

to beat me on total points

and you said "no, i'm better than that"

now... now i must destroy you

this isn't a joke anymore

michael vick is an angel sent by god

to the humping bears

to rape your ass

repeatedly

Austin: hmm

this is weird that you're saying this

it's almost like you haven't seem my roster
12:26 AM
seen

my

god

damned

roster

of perfection

me: your roster will have half it's guys on injured reserve before my grandma asks me what i'm going to be for halloween this year

you

are

fucked
12:27 AM
Austin: every member of my roster is already on the IR

but this IR stands for insane rapists...because they rape the other teams

your team is included in that "other teams" group

THEY WILL FUCKING RAPE THEM

AND YOU

me: well what you don't know is that those guys

are going to go to the irffir by mid year

injured reserve for former intense rapists
12:28 AM
and they will all be taken

from the back end

by humping

fucking bears

by that day
12:29 AM
Austin: mistaken

you're as mistaken as the day is long

as the night is dark

as the sky is blue

as teh ocean is vast
12:30 AM
me: i'll go another $100 starting from here, from scratch at week 3, until end of regular season

see what that is?

that is cold

hard

cash

being backed on my word

that the humping bears will make your team look like the little bitches they always are

Austin: I would gladly accept that. With a smile upon my face.
12:31 AM
me: is that an acceptance?

Austin: WE'RE ON

me: or the early stages of a long excuse about how you can't do it under these circumstances?

alright manager

we are on

like donkey

motherfucking kong

it's as real as it's ever been now

2k10
12:32 AM
when it went from a battle to a war

between me and you

i used to just paw you around on the battle field a little with my big god damned paws

keeping you in line

en route to consecutive championship game years

and threepeat final fours

and lifetime playoff appearances without interruption

but now i will unleash my god damned fury

on your menial little heads
12:33 AM
Austin: you're giving me cash

just handing it to me

you've taken a platter, put another $100 on it (beside the first $100), and handed it to me

me: TIME WILL TELL MOTHERFUCKER

TIME WILL TELL

good day motherfucker
12:34 AM
Austin: good day

Vote against the trade between DJFC and Adorable Birds....

"DJFC had 3 players on bye last week, but he has time to plan trades? What a coincidence Adorable Birds has a defense on bye this week. What does DJFC gain from this trade? A second kicker?

Pretty sure given past history, Adorable Birds has control of both teams."

[thekremlin]

This veto might be excessive. Did it occur to you that DJFC is a last place team, by a longshot? I would be surprised if you're not all proposing trades to him.

[Orgazmo]

^ Even if that's the truth, I think an owner making a move that helps another team and hurts his own is one that falls under the umbrella of collusion.

I wasn't going to veto that trade because it seemed like fair value for fair value. Once ID pointed out the circumstances that surrounded it, it was obvious that it was one person only losing value and the other person only gaining value. Knowing that, I would have vetoed it regardless of the two players involved.

Sure, FC being a dead team probably makes him okay with making dumb trades that only help the other team, but that doesn't the rest of us okay with it.

[thekremlin]

Eh fair enough.

[Orgazmo]

For the record, this isn't entirely uncharted territory. A couple years back, in the final regular season week, a team tried to get their opponent to sit their kicker so that the first team would be assured victory. The first team was in a tight playoff race with a third team (that already had a victory wrapped up for the week). Of course, everyone threw a fit and the kicker played. Turns out the first team won anyway, but that's sorta moot here.
