Birdman: I can play today whenever as long as I don't pass out. Haven't slept in days. Trying to keep the caffeine down!

I'll be on aim. Message me even if I have away on. I'll be in the same room as the pc.

Nothing to do with the Madden league, but damnit all to hell it looks like Fassel will be the next skins coach if reports are correct. "Fassel, Ryan and Zorn. All of my reporting leads to this trio topping the coaching staff."

Whats funny is this is the exact face I'll make if this comes true.

The whole thing is a wash. Just write off next year and hope for the best in 2009. You know it's bad when your head candidate declines the job to keep an assistant job on a team that is in turmoil in terms of coaching staff. And you know it's hopeless when that guy is Jim Mora Jr.

It is not a staff in turmoil! Holgrem for one more year, and transitioning Mora (probably) into the head coach afterwards.

Well, I don't know what'll happen in 2009, but 2008 is ALRIGHT!
 
Oh goodie!!!

I get to face two dudes that have never eeeeevvverr beaten me in any sports games whether it's baseball, basketball, or football! You're so kind Rors for the luxury "horse and carriage" treatment to the Final Four of this tournament. :D

BTW, my schedule opened up tonight Slo, so defeat is patiently waiting for you whenever you are ready!

Bunch of your assistants leaving and they flat out refused to extend The Legendary Walrus' contract. Dat dere is flocked up, youngin'!

Barely pulled it out. 9-7!

Wait so we were all chomping at the bit but only two games are played? :lol
Seriously, I'm disappointed. All this pressure to get it started ASAP, not have byes and not wait just one more day. 2 games! :[ Now I feel even worse about the people we had to drop.

Epic score, btw.

Sable and I will be playing tonight. In my postseason pattern, this is a one and done season so I fully expect to lose. He went 5 wide against me a lot last time we played and it was tough to defend at times. But the main thing is that overrated, fast as hell Bears defense. It's pretty scary.

You can't play the eeyore card. You beat me last time and I'm fully confident that you will do so again. Keep in mind aside from one game last night with Wellington, I haven't played since our matchup. And last night Grossman had a stellar night with 4 picks I believe.

Sorry man....I somehow had a rib pop out of place, and I'm just now getting to where I can breath without excruciating pain. I don't think I can sit up long enough to play a game tonight, but I should be good to go by tomorrow.

...I cringed when I read that...wtf how would you be able to go tomorrow? o_O Are you Batman?

It's alright if you can't play. I can get a replacement, I think.

PS: this is the worst cursed league ever

If i was Batman, I'd be playing you right now!!! My doctor popped it back in this morning, and he put me on some really good medicine. He said I should be back to normal in a day or two. That said, I'm going back to sleep now!!!

Sure, they can catch, but none of them are the "run back..back..back...and throw it deep with a receiver that will outrun everyone. Bear's owner did that to me once. It sucks. Just throw it deep, and unless you have a 98-99 speed DB covering Berrian, he's going to catch the ball, with a 10 yard gap between him and the DB.

Edwards just has the Jump of The Lord. It's 50/50 he gets knocked in the air and drops it.

]Edwards, Winslow[/B], and Jurevicious of the Browns...

I agree with this man. I would add Bowe, but he drops alot of normal catches. Witten i'm sure could be put on that list, and Steve " i hate DCX " Smith.

fuck javon easy button walker up the ass.

Are we supposed to do stats or anything? Broncos won 34-0. Rough game for Bluemax. Walker only had 4 catches, and two of them were not the jump animation. There were also 2-3 incompletions thrown his way. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Your still pent up on this? Let's see instead of run back..back..back..and throw it deep with a wr that will outrun everyone, yours would be run back..back..back..and throw it up into triple coverage knowing that one of your million spectacular catch wrs would catch it by launching a mile into the sky.

Oh and me and Ando just had a crazy good game. I lose again to him in overtime, that makes it twice this season. 20-14. Wtf is up with cbs trying to one hand easy interceptions?

Galloway's 99 speed is a waste because Garcia can't throw the ball more than 15 yards.

GG sable. Lucky break at the end for me there. Should be you going on to round 2 but you got Slo'd :lol
 
OK, so after asking DM to play tonight rather than tomorrow, somebody calls me to hang out... We're just going to get it in tomorrow at 3 EST. Sorry for holding the playoffs up!

...geeze sorry guys, I didn't realize that two of you were playing a game on the assumption that your opponent was decided. I accidentally uploaded the wrong bracket and it matched up wellie and mattt. Like I said, the tourney is based on seeding like the NFL and the opponent for matt and wellie was going to be decided based on who won the other games since I would play lowest seed if I won (wellie) and Lone and Mattt would play each other.

ROYAL fuck up on my end by uploading the wrong one (thought no one saw it) and not making it clear.

So would it count if we end up being slotted to play? We both played the game based on the assumption that it was our official round 2 game so we both gave it our all and I barely won in a tight game against a player that I'd never beaten before.

I did win, on a tighter because of the "bah, he can't come back from 38 to 21", final score 38...to 34.

I only want to play Rorschach. I don't care to go any farther.
