Hey Fifty, how the heck did you run for 1000 yards last year?

Everyone I play QB spies the shiznit out of Vince so if I roll out of the pocket someone is in my face!


Hey, you know what? Why don't I give my division rival some advice the night before the season is likely to begin! Oh wait, that'd be stupid.

I want to see you break my QB rushing record..Use your thinking powers to figure out how to do that.

I think he might break your INT record from what I've seen of Bob this year.

It's funny, because its true! I get my jollies off of nailing punts inside the 5....mmm!

I lost 2 games last season because I tried to actually score TDs in the redzone instead of kicking the gimme FG. If I win those 2 games, I might have had a deeper run in the playoffs! Never again! Project: DMBall II is online.
And yet, the future HOFer is the one that nailed the most punts inside the 20 last season. :D

It's 3 hours until Friday on the east coast. Unlock the league at midnight. DO IT.

Jube, what's your availability tomorrow?

Based on the fact that we used to do that in S1, and that that option is winning in the poll, it makes sense, but I'm not going to take the grand opening honors away from FMT..whenever it happens.

I won't be around tomorrow night--going to the opera with my lady (cue Bud Light commercial). Truelize I'm free all Saturday however (or at midnight Eastern tonight if The Commish deigns to open the league).

I was telling Rors I don't think I've won a game in about 7-8 games...been getting pounded by LJ/Rors and one by DM, bad times.

I'm going on a road trip to Lambeau this weekend, so I won't be around to play. Be back Monday or Tuesday, baring any felony charges.
 
it's official. in order to appease everyone, week 1 will open in 1 hour. week 2 will not begin until monday, 11/19, then it's back to the normal advancement time!
 
Jube, are you around tonight? If not, can we play sometime tomorrow? I'd rather get it in tonight if you can tear yourself away from COD4!

On another note, I just played against the cheesiest person I've ever seen. He used the Chargers and his offense consisted of running around like an idiot trying to get it to Gates. EVERY SINGLE PLAY he would call an audible, change routes, and put people in motion. He never punted. He started milking the clock right after halftime. On defense he took a LB wide of the D-line and manually blitzed until I torched him a few times. He blitzed every single play. He got off to a lead thanks to his cheesy play and all the Madden BS breaks going his way, but I came back with two 4th quarter TDs to take the lead and held him on his final drive to win.

Oh, and by the way, Champ Bailey had 337 yards returning kicks with 2 TDs. IN ONE GAME. I am loving the Broncos :)
 
that is why we play in a league! yes you hit speed bumps now and again when it seems like you are being cheesed, but nothing can prepare you playing against random madden people on xbl.

When do you want to play our game.

I am not available tonight, because I am a little too inebriated to concentrate on Madden, but tomorrow evening would work great. Let me know when would be good for you.

You don't need a fancy HTML program! Notepad is perfect for coding HTML!

Not fun at all,that was some disgusting lag and we should have never played a league game like that.

Only damn quarter without lag was the 3rd.

Throw in losing Palmer twice to injuries in the game and having to face the Colts O with lag and it was over from the first quarter.

If my next madden game has lag like that Im going to have to quit and give my place to one of the noobs.


My connection is totally fixed now,I played a game of 2k8 with widget and had no lag.I dont know if it has something to do with having a refurb 360 or something,but this isnt fun for me and fun is all I want out of the league.

You outplayed me Fifty,but I just didnt care from the first quarter on and became even more pissed after lag caused me to miss a 40 yard fg,thats why all I did was throw bombs.Sorry if I came off as an ahole doing that,but it worked in your favor anyway.

I didn't notice you playing weird..If anything you played smarter after the first quarter. You almost got back in it, bad luck aside. You had me scared until that final 4th down INT. The lag was weird..We've played tons of games without it, and you say your connection is fixed..That's very weird. I didn't mind it once the play started, I only noticed the lag in between snaps and on the playcalling screen. You should have told me that it was hurting your gameplay..as I said, I didn't really notice it when the ball snapped.

I was having tons of lag,shit I had to call timeouts just so I could call the right plays a few times.Hell my last play on O I could have easily gotten that first down running with Palmer and the game started lagging on me and you were able to tackle me.

Maybe my connection just hates Madden now or my copy is going to die.

Yea I should have told you,but I figured you were having it too...

oh well I expected to lose,Its a bigger deal if it happens in my next league game.

Nice, getting the score run up on me in the first game of the season! Not only that, but I get to watch Ando showboat there, all the while he could have taken a knee and ended it, but no, that would make too much sense.

I also love how you loop your DE around the lineman on pretty much every PA I run, cheesed Alstott to milk the clock in the 2nd half, and just all around acted like a random Live ass hat at the end.

Why is this guy in the league again?

DM, wtf did Bob do to you? Seneca Wallace future?

He only scored 3 offensive TDs, the rest of his scoring was FGs and INT TDs.

I think I've called 4 rushing plays in all my scrimmages combined. Don't worry baby, The Edge is being saved for you.

Isn't looping DEs illegal and has been for some time?
 
:/

ando last warning. you say you are doing nothing wrong and i guess per league rules you technically aren't. but i keep getting complaints about you and pretty much only you.

call it me being unfair, but when i have people i know and trust calling bullshit in your games we have a problem.

i'm not going to expand on it further, this reminds me of vumpler all over again. "what am i doing wrong? tell me what im doing wrong!" running up the score, abuse of DE's, etc.

i would prefer you stay in the league because you are a dependable player but if you dont cut the bullshit out you force my hand. you can say "sour grapes!" but the same players who have lost to you have lost big to other people and don't complain about the other player. conspiracy maybe but i can't ignore it.

I woulda let the game go, but running back 2 INTs with less than like 50 seconds, when I'm pulling defenders off on the second one, just disrespectful really.

Hay first game of the season and we're already talking about punting Ando, Intihar wants to join, some other dude who would've had to play to get in wants in.

Pull the trigger!

Hey Bryan, looks like a spot is open!
 
im not booting him after this one game but as i said it's the last time i want to deal with this bullcrap, and if its not then the next time will be the last time.

Oh wow what a shock, Ramirez loses and comes to the board whining about cheese and bullshit. For starters when the fuck did I showboat when I returned the pick? The only time I hit the high step button was on Galloway's 107 yard kickoff return. You were still playing offense at the end and passing the ball, you threw the interception, if you'd of tackled me I would have run the clock out but you didn't.

I didn't loop my fucking DE around any of your lineman, I got all of ONE instant play action sack on you, just like you got on me with Strahan. How did I "cheese" Alstott? Give me a fucking break guy. I ran my FB up the middle and milked clock in the FOURTH QUARTER. Which, last I checked, was legal. You won the time of possession battle by a good 6 minutes there, champ.

Also why not explain that first interception I ran back in a little more detail? There was still 1:30 seconds left in the game and I was up by one touchdown. You throw a pick, my guy is returning it, FUMBLE! Another one of my guys picks it up, FUMBLE! Yet another one of my guys picks it up, 2 of your guys whiff on tackles and I am 20 yards away from the endzone and run it in. It's funny, I don't really seem to remember this much of an outrage when someone stopped the game with less than 20 seconds left to intentionally try to bomb PA passes into the endzone and then called another time out to kick a FG as time expired. But oh noes, Ando returns a pick with 50 seconds left in the game OMG OMG OMG!!! Give me a fucking break.

Let's keep this in perspective, Ando. You could've just kicked a Field Goal.

Pretty sure I've stated that it was the 2nd pick that really pissed me off, I understand running the first one back, it was only 16-9. The second one was just you being a douchebag. You did the high step on every single big play you got.

The stats speak for themselves, you threw 6 times and Alstott was your leader in rushing attempts, you're a fucking clown that no one likes, no one takes serious, and I'd say the overwhelmingly majority didn't want you back this season. But whatever.
