The best time for me would be 6 est when I get home from work. I could maybe play at 1est if that's better for you, but we usually play basketball on Thursdays during lunch.
I see.
In that case I apologize for partially unleashing my wrath.
The other stuff I listed was still a legit complaint
POCKET PRESENCE
You can scramble egg all you want, it's ok I know how to stop it.
Doesn't make it any less annoying.

No team in the NFL would go for it on 4th down in the 1st quarter twice in one drive when they're in FG range with Vinatieri. We're not even talking 4th and inches, one was 4th and 2 and the one he lost possession on was 4th and 7. I find it hilarious that no one higher up has commented on it. What I take from this is that it's ok to break the rules when it's convenient for you.
Luke was dominated, he can blame the fumbles, but that isn't the reason he lost.
He lost so people (at least me) don't really care.
I hope he does. I'd rather take the one year signing bonus hit than have to pay him $50m.
6 EST is fine.
That's pretty much the way it's been since forever.

Going for it on 4th in the 1st quarter of a 14-0 game isnt absolutely ridiculous. The rules are there to try and keep it sim but there is going to be some grey areas in some situations. I consider this less offensive than purposely taking a victory from your opponent and settling for the tie because you were mad

how does this jive with your other statements along the lines of "the game is already so weighted towards the offense, if you can't get a first down in three plays, man up and punt."
Only in this case, we're talking about taking 3 points.
This is backwards thinking, it's ok to break the rules as long as you lose? lol

Trust me, I didn't expect you to cast down any sort of punishment, or even say that it was wrong to do. Grey areas in situations that involve people who are immune to discipline.
THANK YOU levious, you are the one shining beacon of hope in this cesspool of corruption!

Im not here to completely run your situational offense. Comparing that to physically controlling the wr, which is pretty clearly ageed upon cheese in the wrong hands, makes no sense
Only Ramirez could find a way to cry when Madden gifted him the game. I'm surprised he didn't complain about passes bouncing off his defensive back's hands.
Sometimes you get the game (i.e. random garbage drops for Crow's wideouts in a game I should've lost in round 1), sometimes the game has your running back who has fumbled twice all year dump a fumble six on his first play and another fumble five touches later. Who cares?
As far as the punting all second half goes. Yep, after a fluke Mendenhall fumble I got rid of the ball, played DOTA and when I heard the announcers call a TD got back to the living room to punt.
I didn't want to disconnect in case it would've jobbed Ramirez out of his win. I know how frustrating that can be.
I didn't compare it to that. I didn't even bring that up?
If going for it on 4th down while in field goal range is fair game then there's no point in having this in the rules:
"c. if you have a 4th down and you are on the cusp of FG range, it is ok to go for it so long as it's a 4th and 5 or less. example: 4th and 3 at your opponents 39 yard line. unless you have the raiders or packers this is a difficult FG and probably not going to go through. i have no problem with a 4th down in this scenario."
I think that line just confuses the issue for some.
I was in the other room, I didn't know it was going red!
ESPN SPORTSCENTER UPDATE -- Thursday, January 12, 2012 -- 1:56PM ET - Ashburn, VA
The Washington Redskins called a press conference midday in suburban Washington, DC to announce what could be their greatest trade in franchise history.
In a blockbuster deal rumored to be crafted in the hours after the Colts surprising AFC Divisional Round loss to the Steelers, the Redskins are trading a plethora of draft picks to the Colts for future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning. At a minimum, with a healthy Manning playing for at least 2 years, the Colts receive 1st and 3rd round picks from the Redskins in 2013, a 3rd round pick in 2014, and a swap of 2nd round picks in 2014. If Manning is able to lead Redskins back to playoff glory and a SuperBowl title, the deal provides the Colts with the Redskins' 1st and 2nd round draft picks in 2014, giving the Colts 5 picks over two years for the 36-year-old QB.
The Colts are currently positioned to draft late in the 1st round of the 2013 MaddenGAF NFL Draft, but with the addition of the Redskins' 2013 draft picks, it is rumored the Colts may make moves up into the top of the 1st round to find Manning's replacement. The shocking trade comes after rumors of behind-closed-doors arguments between Peyton Manning and the Colts GM Luke Smith over the direction of the Colts offense and future of the team.
Colts GM Luke Smith did not address the rumors, saying in a prepared statement: "While the sun is setting on Peyton's career in Indianapolis, in no way do we think he's in the twilight of his career. His contributions to the Colts will not be forgotten."
Redskins GM LiveWire proclaimed, "We are very excited to be able to welcome Peyton to Washington and have him wear the burgundy and gold. It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance, we felt we had to be aggressive and make a move that we feel will give our team that final piece of the puzzle to reach our ultimate goal of bringing a championship to DC. We worked long hours getting this deal done and I think both parties came away very satisfied with the results."
Asked for his reaction to the news of the trade, Manning replied: "I'm thankful for the years I spent in Indianapolis and look forward to finishing my career in the NFL with another championship in Washington."
