Do you just use regular embed code to embed a flash video onto your league daddy team news page?

You have to use the [flash] [/flash] tags. Also, for YouTube you have to use the actual video link, and not the YouTube flash link. So...

He stayed on for a while so i figured he was putting them in. We had a disconnect at the beginning of the 3rd. It's in the video I put together. It will be posted in the next couple of hours. I'm going to try and make clips every week of all the big plays in my games. Always fun to see what happens in others games. You'll get to see Vincent Jackson completely destroy man coverage

FUCK

it was 10-7 cowboys. cleveland was about to kick a tying field goal at the beginning of the 4th. disconnected...


i have a feeling billriccio is using classic cam...


Bill:

Do you want to do a one Q game. 10-10. Cowboys get ball.

good game.


your oline dominated my dline. like, i was doing engage eights and a bunch of blitzes up the middle, and there were still huge running holes.

and i did an all out blitz and your qb was still able to hit braylon edwards for a 20 yard out (on the play that i roughed your passer)


and fuck. i was trying find hail mary in the playbook, and the play clock ran out, and time expired.

yeah it was a pretty good game. I rode Lewis into the ground in the second half. My D did a good job against the run. I got lucky at the end of the first half, if you would have scored i really could have been screwed. Really close good game.

Remember last year when FMT hosted league daddy? He used a template where when everyone put up their own team news it updated on the site front page. Is that possible this year?

Yeah, it's still there but I have to set team news to display on the front page. :)

I'll try messing with it...I just don't want the front page too cluttered.

EDIT: You can use the tags in the game recap section of the game results instead of team news. That way it'll show up automatically under the score on the front page. I'd rather that since very few people actually create team news articles.

So I screwed up here. We got disconnected midway through the 3rd quarter and I quit to re-host the game as I was the home team. I was over thinking things and it never occurred to me to record my team stats at that point. I was under the impression that stats were a wash if there was a disconnect (that's how it seemed like people were treating it during preseason). Chalk it up to this being my first season I guess.

Anyway, do you want me to extrapolate what I can from the team stats and put together some player stats? I have a pretty good idea of how everything went, obviously it wouldn't be 100% accurate but it would certainly provide a fair impression of how the game went.

Also AT watch the video I posted of our game. http://www.vimeo.com/1655047

It helps with how many yards your Vjax TD was (great play by the way.) It also shows other highlights.

I went though and wrote down all the major game changing throws. I actually counted up all the yards thrown etc so my stats are pretty much dead on give or take 5 yards on each player.

For yours though I entered your total yards thown etc. Hopefully that will help you. Because when I watched the recording at half time it showed me how many yards you had etc.

Thanks, I think I got most of the big stuff already but this definitely will help.
But no thanks for making me watch that punt return fumble again. God, I wanted to punch myself in the face after that.

Very well put together video for sure.

Man, my schedule is crap for the next few days. :-( Work is nuts this week and a buddy is coming in from out of town tomorrow. Later Friday night should work, Saturday during the day will work (before 5PM, I have plans at 7PM), and Sunday evening should work. Let me know what works for you. I've got a little sumpin' sumpin' for Stevie! :p

EDIT: Oh crap, wait. Sunday evening will not work because I'll be watching the BEARS!

Friday night is bad for me, my wife and I are going to a comedy club to see a guy she knows perform, however I'm available all morning and up until 5pm CST.

Saturday I'm going to the BMW Championship, PGA, here in St. Louis all day. Patient of mine had tickets and can't go so she gave them to me.

Sunday night works but you can't play then D:

You probably are looking at the redzone scoring percentage, the 3rd down rate for the game was:
Jags 83.3%
TEN 66.7%

We really couldn't stop each other, the RB's are so juiced up on All-Pro it's ridiculous. In past years they would make the blocking better but it seems as though in this years game they just make the RB's break more tackles. Anyways gg to Bonsevan, he should do well this season.

Since we've got every indication that corey f baby won't be around, and it's the last day of the first week, I think that we need to move on without him. Until a replacement is found, or until he shows back up, the Rams can be played by a volunteer every week.

If you're interested and can work out a time with TheDrizzler, post here and one of the LD commishes will give you temporary access to the Rams team.

pheeniks, did you get my PM? Would you be able to play our week 2 game today? I"ll be out of town all weekend so I'd like to get our game in as soon as possible. I get home from work around 5pm PST, so anytime after that would be great.
