Okay, good, I just wanted to make sure that we'd come to a consensus before.

it has come to my attention that the buccaneers quit against the eagles in the 4th quarter. the reasons don't really matter and in my opinion "getting maddened" isn't a sufficient reason to quit a game.
what do we always say at the beginning of the league? you're going to get maddened, you're going to have a bunch of bullshit happen, things aren't going your way. and then you come back to the thread, post GG BUT or no gg at all and just the but, and the league moves forward!
but you don't quit on someone at the end of the game because you got fucked by the madden gods (WHICH HAS HAPPENED TO US ALL AND WILL HAPPEN TO ALL OF US AGAIN!). you are wasting your own time and more importantly you are wasting someone elses time. you are also screwing them out of well deserved XP points they may have gotten.
as a result of this transgression, josh freeman will be suspended for 4 games. 3 remaining regular season games and a playoff game (if the bucs make the playoffs) or the first regular season game of the 2013 season.

Yes, the chapter titled, "Play Livewire this week".
Grats!
WRONG.
Also, doesn't look like Luke reached Nightz in time, Mike Wallace stylin' his way to records! Next record up, Ben going for the single season passing TD record!
For shame DM!
I already told Luke I'm tanking, BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!
Take your daddy lecture to someone who cares!

Lol you edited like 10 mins later with the daddy comment. It's like you walked away and thought about it and then said oh shit sick burn I should have said that!
And then with the power of editing you did it! Thumbs up!
I guess I should have made a Youtube video, I probably would have got probation and a stern lecture on AIM instead.

I'm never getting a team, FMT is such a bitch.
Those are the best.
Only if you rape the camera with your eyes.
If you want a team, then you'll have to wait 'till about week 6 of season 2 when some people realize that rookie that they took isn't going to change their entire team on their first outing. Most likely someone that takes a QB thinking it will cut down their INTs!
When FMT is giving you his daddy talk on AIM, just picture this music playing in your head.

Maybe. Not like I'm doing anything and my wife is totally fine. Hospital will make her stay until Wednesday but I can probably beg off and get a shower at home tomorrow. May as well play some video games and buy an SSD while I am out.
Don't talk about live wire that way!
lololol
I stopped wondering about him long ago. Its a dark road no one should go down
Sorry! I'm home about a million hours later than I anticipated. Any chance you're still up?
Updated:
Washington and Atlanta are both technically still alive for the WC but if they lose again they're pretty much eliminated.

Thanks for these. I believe the Lions have the tie breaker over the Vikings due to divisional record. For the next advance since I'll lose and in case Thrasher wins, the Lions have the tie breaker over me.
I essentially need to win at least three of my last four to have a really good shot at the WC. I have to win the Vikings game or I'm toast.
Draft Order Top 10
# Name Needs to Draft
1. Jaguars RT, DE (The website says you have 7 and they all suck balls), DT (If you're running a 4-3, I can't tell)
2. Titans HB (Unless you're fine with CJ), C, SS, CB
3. Cardinals RG, RT, LOLB, CB
4. Browns QB, LG, RG, RT, (I was gonna say LOLB but the 2 guys you have are both young), FS (although I guess your starter is a rookie)
5. Cowboys LG, LE, RE, SS
6. Panthers LG, FS
7. Jets QB, LG, RE, LOLB
8. Chargers RT, LE, SS
9. Packers
10. Patriots C, maybe OLB
Zzz, I just realized that the DE ratings for all the 3-4 teams seemed really low, so this could be a scheme thing or maybe they do suck, I don't really know! Either way almost every team in the bottom 10 needs offensive line help, what a shocker!
These are pure standings that don't take into account H2H or tie breakers. I never worry about that stuff until I have to.

You should have at least gone with a more plausible lie. All 3 of the FFs in our game were caused by Robo-Willis.

I think a lot of those guys above would benefit from a playmaker more than anything else. Jags/Cards/Browns/Jets specifically, and then also the Chargers would benefit from a top WR. Tbh the sacks that I do take are mostly because my guys can't get open or take too long to get to the right spots.
I'm leaning in either the direction of a top WR or a strong DB with my McNeily pick then the other with my own pick. I was really hoping that McNeily would tank so that I could get one of the top 2 corners.
Edited for clarity.

If I was gonna lose James Anderson and Charles Johnson for the season, I guess it's better now than earlier on. Thankfully we've got depth at both of those spots. Thought I lost Luke Kuechly for an extended period of time too, but thankfully not.
Also, DeAngelo Williams is on the trading block as soon as we hit the offseason.

Daw, you going to be around later tonight, say around 10:30 EST?
Also why is everyone congratulating Ez on bringing another racist into this world?

Congrats Eznark family!
That's pretty late for me to start a game. Is that your availability all the time?

Most of the time, I could go at 5:30 EST tomorrow while the wife is at work.
Yea I'm still blown that I don't get a pick in the first round since I could really use it. Luckily with this scouting system, I may be able to find a gem in the second round.
Edit: Also, does the "physical" attribute average out (or determine how good) one player is at their position? What I'm understanding is that it groups up your player's important attributes at their position as well as scheme... so say DT and how they need Strength, Block Shedding, and Power Move or something... am I correct?

BTW, I'm not mad at A-Rod. There were a ton of chicks at game 1, it would've been shooting fish in a barrel.

At this point I'm just sharpening my skills in anticipation of Madden 14. Seems like a damn good league you guys have going here I don't see anybody leaving.
Deal with it Drizz!!!
ACTUALLY, MISTER WELLIE. I'm 3-1 in our division and Trasher is 1-3. He could even it out though.
