Fixed as best I could. Reciever's match Matt's 179 yards passing, and Strong's 1 carry was for 0.

Ok nevermind, no new Xbox until next Thursday so I'm out I guess. Sorry, but it was beyond my control. I just cannot justify $300 in one week for 2 Xbox consoles and if I trade my brand new PS2 I only get $60 credit. Fuck that.

It's really a shame the servers are shaky this year. They're as lagless as ever, which is great, but we can't count on them anymore to stay up during a game. We're busting our balls manually doing the league but they won't help us out at all! :(

edit: Then again, I have played about 100 games and I've only been disconnected twice, so I am going a bit over the top here.

Miami has the Dolphins, the greatest fooball team
They run the ball from goal to goal like no one's ever seen!
They're in the air they're on the ground they're always in control
and when you say Miami, you're talking super bowl!
Cause we're the... Miami Dolphins...Miami Dolphins... Miami Dolphins #1

well, I don't even want to talk about that game, for various reasons.

Hopefully not on my end. I thought you would kick it for sure. I was upset that you waited for me to bring out the FG team before you picked the play though cause I couldn't call timeout.

Hey guys, I know everybody's lives are busy and all that, so I won't bore you with details of my schedule. Long story short, I'm a feeble old man (26) with a family and a mortgage. A game every 3 days works pretty well for me, and I have a great time in the leagues. But if this turns into a league that advances every 24-48 hours and people are in a big hurry to play their games as soon as the league advances, I'll probably have to bow out after this season. :)

I'm not threatening to quit the league or givinig an ultimatum or anything. My schedule is my own problem and nobody else's, I just don't want to be a speedbump for all you high flyin' Wipper Snappers. I'll just kindly step out of the way and let you guys have your fun.

Damn you kids and your rock and roll music!

Xbox Live is up and running.

Users may experience problems logging into some EA titles. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

I repeat
Ea Servers = Garbage
 
slo, the league advances every 4 days, not every 3 days. who is complaining about the time limit or anyone holding them back? all i said is that if we get it done beforehand, then great. but dont feel pressured to get a game in within 24 hours just because everyone else is done. people who are that anxious can play a week ahead and write their stats down, then report them when i unlock the week. it's that simple!

No one is complaining, just wanted to make sure everyone is aware of my situation. The league advanced early this time.
 
i think in september everyone is going to be greatful about the 4 day deadline. most of us will be pretty busy (i go to school full time and have a full time job as well...), so don't feel bad about anything.

No sweat man, I'm in your exact same shoes (except I'm a year younger :D). I actually like to get my game in ASAP for the same reasons, cause I know if I wait till the last couple of days I wil have to work OT or something totally out of the ordinary will prevent me from playing.

DM: when can you play tomorrow? Tomorrow will work for me depending on time. Tuesday should be a lock though. I can't see anything keeping me from Madden at all.
(wife is going out of town Tuesday afternoon :D Sucks that I leave for a business trip Wednesday though. )

The punt return stats aren't done the way they are laid out in the game (blame FMT!) so he probably did his yards as TDs.

Drey, listen carefully. You need to beat the damned dirty Broncos. It's what you were put on this Earth to do. Dig deep buddy, people are counting on you. The soaking wet SuperDome refugees are counting on you Drey. And so are we. We all are, Drey. We all are...

The colts blow.


I'm afraid they don't! If you can't pass and run with them you should shoot yourself, because it'll only be harder with other teams. Yes their D is average, but you can outscore him! Remember the Colts game against the Broncos last year? Emulate that and win! Middlebrooks is your bitch...(if he's still on the broncos)

Yea I'm getting one after work today, I get off in about 3 hours so I'll look for you on AIM in 4 hours or so. Or if you wanna post and setup a time, cool.

And don't worry about what team you have. You could have the Browns, you'd still win. I suck shit through a straw in this game.

The Colts are cursed. All were warned.

I was warned, and what has happened so far, let us review....

Play konex in preseason, I'm winning in fourth quarter,and my internet connection goes down for half an hour. My connection has never gone down before this, ever.

Connection goes back up, we play again, I am again winning in the fourth quarter, he gets a dirty disk error.... well, looks like that preseason game isn't happening.

Instance 2....

First game of the season, I play mrbob. I'm up in the fourth quarter by 8.

EA servers go down.

We have a rematch later that night. I lose 30something to 13.

Instance 3...

2nd game is against ando, and his Xbox is FUCKING STOLEN....

Colts are cursed, it has been proven.
