Let's try for Tuesday night. I'm home tonight but I'm exhausted. Nothing is wrong with your availability, it just doesn't match up with mine that well, is all.

We're planning on playing late tonight...we were supposed to play last weekend, but I was sick and couldn't sit up long enough to play anything!

Matt just found out the league started on Sunday (my fault!), so he should be contacting bons, if he hasn't already.

tcvr0d and LJ should be in contact too.

And birdbomb and Classic should be getting their game in Thursday.

Does tvcrod post on GAF, or is AIM the best way to contact him?
He does but his account is jacked up now for some reason. He's supposedly sent the staff an email. The easiest way to contact him is XBL though (tcvr0d) or AIM (tcvrod). It shows he's on in Madden right now, but away for 45 mintues. :-(

GG Slo...was a close match until the 4th I thought. Man everything fell apart for me in that quarter :lol AP as usual is a beast!

Remind me never to challenge again till they fix that unable to skip the replay shit

Jesus Somnia, that score doesn't reflect how close that game was at all. Once you got Bwest going, I couldn't stop him. Then things just kind of fell apart for you.

GG.

Ya a pick 6 and then a fumble by my receiver back to back is a bad combo...and mcnabb getting hurt stopping you from scoring :lol

Thanks, I'll contact him.

If You Can't Beat 'Em, Talk Shit About 'Em
I refuse to believe that out of the dedicated crew, this many games have not been played. There must be several intricate reasons why they haven't been played.

I will call bons today to see whats up with his game.

Since we have a few people that are banned from gaf why don't we make it mandatory for everyone to put their gamertag and aim on their league daddy account?

I'm not worried at all yet. All the games that are still unplayed are either scheduled to get played or the owners are in contact. This is a huge improvement already from the first attempt. I just think there are a lot of procrastinators here. :lol Including me sometimes. :-(

Anyhow, this week had someone get sick, a Jewish holiday, XBL was down for an entire day, and a surprise bachelor's party. I think this was just a bad week.
 

Somnia

There's always going to be a delay on at least one game...no way around it no matter how dedicated people are. I think we're fine though.

I'm not worried yet, but if no progress has been made by the end of Thursday, then I will be a little concerned. I just made the post above to stoke the fire a little.

I'm a little concerned. The first few weeks of most leagues have people begging the commishes to advance the week. And here we are...

So what are the chances of getting some games in tonight?

Well, this is what's left. AB's game is not on my concern list as this is his league. ;)

However, the other 4 games are of some concern. I thought the SF @ GB game was supposed to be played last night, any updates?

All non banned members need to post their intentions here. The deadline was set for tonight at 11 pm CST, I understand this has been a rough week with the holiday, sickness, Live down, etc, but there has still been plenty of time for a league of "dedicated" players to get this done.

mr stroke was held up at work last night. Our availability doesn't mesh very well this week....he hasn't been able to get off work until midnight CST, and I'm usually in bed (or close to it) by then. We're gonna try again tonight if I can stay up that late. Worst case scenario, we'll play Friday evening when he's available a little earlier.

Is this the only game we have updates on?

SF and GB are playing at midnight. I'm playing at 11PM, and NO-PIT has just been played. That'll leave IND-BUF (which I think they're scheduling), and NE-TEN (which vumpler was going to check with bons).

sorry on the late game guys(not normal as all my other league games were on time and early) just bad timing on this first week-Birdman got sick and my work schedule during this last week has been really shity(end of the month=10-12 hour days getting off work after 10pm)
I will be off work for a week starting friday so no troubles going forward, AirBrian can you give me and Birdman an extension until Sunday? will have game in by then no problem.

You two aren't playing later tonight? If not, yeah, that's fine. I know you both will get the game in. (And it's our year-end, so I completely understand the long work days!) :-(

Fucking, EA!!!!! My game with mr stroke dropped with 3 seconds left in the 4th....in a 3-3 game!!! I know I would've won on a hail mary!!! :D

We started a new game to decide overtime...which I won thanks to a nice little user pick to set up a game winning FG. I have no idea on the stats though...I know Gore was over 110 yards, and JTO threw 2 picks (in the fucking red zone!!!), but thats about it.

good game Birdman.how in hell do I miss a game winning field goal from inside the 20 :(

now EA please fix your damn servers!!!

4th quarter with 3 seconds left and the game disconects:lol
so sorry no stats, only thing I could remember were a couple ints,first downs, and the score board...

Great game, man!!! My jaw dropped when I saw that FG go wide, but it makes up for the 2 picks I threw in (or close to) the red zone!! It really sucks that we lost the stats, but it was a great game anyways. The only reason I know Gore's numbers is because they popped up on my screen at least 3-4 times. I have no idea what I would've done without The Tank tonight.

Fix your servers, EA!!!

I'm usually on every weeknight (except Fridays) after 5 pm PST. If you're available tonight, I can play anytime from 5-9 pm (8-12 EST). But if not, Saturday or Sunday night would be best.

That shit was pissing me off to no end. Blakero calls some nice routes. All 3 times CJ was wide open and I'm not sure how that happened. :-(

Thank goodness the DET D sucks and made Neckbeard look like a superstar!

That's fine. I'm still up at that time anyway. I only put 9 because that's when The Office usually shows, but apparently there's no new episode today because of debates. See you tonight.
