lol yeah

We started this shit in 2004 when I was fresh out of college at 21. Awesome having some guys stick with it since the online league function came about (Pretty sure it was '04). Can barely remember who was there from the beginning, FMT, DM, Rors, dskillz, miguel for sure. I think Ramirez was as well. Some not so fond memories of playing against the Steelers and getting hit sticked to death and fumbling 4-5 times per game (Tiki being Tiki). Dearly departed include matrix, Fifty, Wasabiking, cubanb (who FMT made break a controller), Tacklin' Oscar (LOL), MalleyMal. Memories. :(

I've been in a fantasy football league with the same guys for about 15 years now. Combined we have more kids than participants this year. That made me feel old.

Also, my email this morning from like two dozen forums that I have never posted at saying "happy birthday [fake internet name]" made me feel like an idiot.

What do you mean by old cap numbers?

What's the info for your dummy league? I'd like to join to fuck around with stuff. I'll pm you some questions in a few.

The cap numbers that LM had were largely inaccurate (which is why some teams were waaay over the cap). Some guys went through and updated the numbers for all players and teams, so they reflect real life numbers a little better. All FMT needs to do is hit "Assign NFL-Style Contracts" from the Admin console in LM again to get the new cap numbers in our league.

Sent you a PM back.

Flood of nostalgia just washed over me.

You forgot Bog though, the greatest league player ever.

So is it ok to play our games today? What's your availability like Levious?

levious

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.
I'll be home around 6:30 EST, I'll be available throughout the night, maybe just not right away. Tomorrow I could play anytime after 11 am.


I do need to at least look at my playbook I think.

I work 12-9 on Sat/Sun, so we should probably try to get it in today. My wife will probably be ok with me playing around 7-8-9, just let me know what works for you.

Anyone interested in Brian Dawkins? I'd like to get someone to replace him in the secondary but I'm willing to look at any offers.

Going to bed Live. Not positive that I'll be around tomorrow night if your hours are going to be the same.

Sorry about that, I had been checking the replies in the thread up until I left work and it seemed like the league wasn't going to start last night. Then Thursday nightlife happened. So tonight I'll definitely be around 6PM Pacific. Hopefully that's not too late? If not I will be around all day Saturday until the evening.

You ain't doin' shit. Foster is who I'm worried about lol.

And looking at the site the Texans are the only team at or around the cap?

$120,603,000

THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT

Better rebuild with some lesser cost players though the draft! I'll be helping to clear up some of your cap space when I get Mario Williams.

Happy Birthday and welcome to the 30+ club! I joined last month.

As for our game, my inlaws are coming over tonight, but I should be able to play after they leave. I just have no idea how long they'll stay.

I could play during my lunch in about 35 minutes if that's better for you.

Happy Birthday eznark.

In other news, Redskins $18 mil under the cap, with only 1 major signing bonus and the majority of contracts under 4 years remaining?

When does my shopping spre--I mean, free agency start?

Dumb question but there are only 4 players with signing bonuses on the Bengals according to LM. Is that around what everyone else has? Just based on how NFL negotiations have gone in recent years I find that hard to believe. Andy Dalton has zero guaranteed dollars.

Lets do that. My wife is running the Air Force marathon in Dayton tomorrow so I have to leave the house by 4 am to get here there. Doubt I'll be staying up terribly late tonight.

1 pm-ish?

I've spot checked a few deals and they seemed right...but you make a good point.

I don't know his contract, but wouldn't it be safe to assume that Dalton's should be mostly guaranteed money since he's from the most recent draft class?

Only 3 Giants have signing bonuses.

Yeah, I'm leaving work now, and I should be home in about 10 minutes. I have an hour, so I hope we don't go OT.

Texans number isn't even after getting MP. It wasn't that exact amount yesterday but it was around 1.8 mill under the cap.

I dunno maybe I'm missing something.

Dm is going to be the deadly one. Donny made certain the Bucs are a BS team again, and he'll have nearly 30 million dollars to play around with.

gg eznark. Brees was absolutely terrible in that game...maybe it was the wind, but that didn't seem to affect Rodgers. He was missing guys all over the field..especially early. Also, my LBs were ignoring coverage whenever I tried to play man, and you were picking my zone apart.

I'll have to get back on track next week. That was a terrible way to start the season.
