@sammydog01 maybe, at least I won’t have to take responsibility for picking them and I can blame @OldCatLady or you (it was your month when the decision was made…) for Meh staff scheduling the draft at the last minute.
I’m busy right now so any more powerful smack talk will have to come later when I can review your picks
@OldCatLady nah I think I’ll blame @sammydog01, it’s her fault the draft happened in September anyhow when it was advertised for August, using the commutative property any blame derived from that August decision is clearly hers. Thanks for volunteering though!
@compunaut I see you are on that list. Huh. There are 10 teams, 9 people on the list, and she left herself and @dragontrainer off. So I guess that’s one extra?
@sammydog01 At least I have backups for injuries & bye weeks! (Maybe if I didn’t like you guys so much this would be easier. Somebody needs to piss me off.) sigh
you are all going down…!!! (was that smacky enough…?..don’t want to overdo it before regular season starts…) damn…! that was to much too soon…right…? i knew i should have toned it down a bit…
@sammydog01 I knew it…I’m sorry…I came on too strong too soon…you guys will probably kick my a$$…wait, was that too wimpy…?..that was too wimpy wasn’t it…? sorry, i apologize…crap…! that made it worse…right…? I think i made it worse…
HA! LOSERS!!! I’m the first one cut!!! The day before the leagued formed!! Now, I can just sit smugly back and jeer at all you wimps from the bench, laughing into my rum and coke. muwhahahahahaha.
I didn’t sign up for any league this year because last year, almost every guy I selected got injured on my team or if I picked them up on waivers, then they too got injured…just saying every person in all leagues should thank me for NOT joining the league this year…especially those that would have picked up the same players I had…
@f00l@sammydog01 I will try to follow you guys as you have a "meh"velous time… …actually I enjoyed being in the league but too many things going on right now so no time for fun and games …but y’all enjoy!
@mehbee the emails were all after the fact, we all signed up in a forum thread and then @hollboll and @galmaegi used their 1337 H4XX0R staff member skills to snoop our emails and sign us up for the draft which then emailed us.
Baltimore just released Justin Forsett. What? He was on my team last year. I liked him. So I checked what unlucky bastard drafted him this year. Bwahahahaha! Good luck, @jbartus!
@f00l yeah but in this case I might as well flip a coin and guess at the outcome in my bedroom closet for all the relevance it has. It’s a completely different thing to watch your own decisions condemn you.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@jbartus Pro tip- quarterbacks are generally the highest scoring players. Go pick up Stafford or Smith or anyone for the first four games. Forsett doesn’t have a team right now, or pick someone else to dump. No one who does well makes it through the season with their initial drafts.
@emilyap Well congrats on the Denver win. Too bad all the Denver players on your team sucked. Maybe get some of the good ones next year?
/giphy flexing muscles
@emilyap gee, @sammydog01 ain’t kidding, I had Carolina’s kicker and he had almost as many points as all of your Denver players combined. If that last field goal hadn’t been such a heart breaker he’d have had more than all three combined!
@jbartus She is really pissed off that I told you to pick up Matthew Stafford. She would have preferred that you stick with your boyfriend Tom Brady. Don’t count her out- she has Big Ben tomorrow.
@emilyap I was so gonna give you crap this morning on my blowout victory and then Williams went and did that. Kinda cool. Except that’s a lot of zeros you have on your team.
@spcial_snwflake yeah that’s a pain. I had to fiddle around for a good ten minutes to come up with something I liked, it was originally going to be Tom Brady and the Wannabe Patriots
@MrGlass Wow, you went from being first in the league to losing to a team with 57 points. What an emotional roller coaster.
/giphy emotional roller coaster
@spcial_snwflake My running back that scored 17 points week 1 is on injured reserve- I already dumped him. And one of those Qs is now a D. And my “last minute” team has two Qs and two Os who will be missing 3 and 4-6 weeks respectively. I need to go player shopping.
@brendles So my kid gave you a top rated running back for that hack Rivers. He wants me to lose. It just means I’ll win by a smaller margin. (I love your team logo by the way.)
@galmaegi Have @hollboll explain what that big bold “O” means next to a players name. Or maybe you didn’t have time to check your lineup because you were building Fukos. That’s actually a pretty good excuse.
/giphy I’ll allow it
@jbartus You are going to be sorry week 5 when you put your boyfriend in at QB and Stafford outscores him by 12 points. And @spcial_snwflake was right, I did loose last week, even though I hoped I would be winninger. That’s lyfe.
@carl669 You played two players that were out with injuries and two players that were on bye and still beat poor dragontrainer. I hope you’re proud of yourself.
/giphy sad panda
Holy shit was Thursday prolific for me. 53 points out of Carlos Hyde, Larry Fitzgerald, and the Cardinals Defense/Special Teams. Barring some kind of disaster it looks like 5-0-0 is in the bag. Sorry @Moose
@sammydog01 because drafting is the only thing that matters right? Choosing who to field, choosing who to drop and who to pick up, none of those matter?
@jbartus@carl669 didn’t even put in one of his bench RBs to replace his guy on bye. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t care if he loses. Hey Carl can I have some of your players? Mine all suck.
@carl669 you’re doing as well as @galmaegi who is most definitely trying to improve based upon the aggressive litany of roster changes every week, a playoff berth is not implausible.
@galmaegi of course. I was just trying to encourage carl. Although now that I think of it I owed you some picking on because you stole my kicker so… there!
@galmaegi Remember when I gave you a hard time about dropping Kelvin Benjamin? Well, I dumped Jay Ajayi to pick min up. Ajayi has scored a total of 59 points in his last two games. I dropped him because I auto-drafted two Miami RBs and kept the other (supposedly better) one, Arian Foster. Foster has made a total of 9 points this season and just quit football entirely. So, sorry for making fun of you.
@sammydog01 I legitimately thought several weeks ago that this week was the one I would be most worried about in terms of breaking my winning streak because I’d be facing you. What happened?!
@jbartus Well when you wrote the first comment my kick-ass QB was in the first half and the #10 and #18 drafts in the league hadn’t started. (Thanks @brendles for Dez Bryant- my season is looking up.)
@jbartus Dude- I was projected to win by 5 before the first game started. Check out the line. And I’m pretty sure that your projected points never rose above mine. When I wrote the first reply I was projected to win. Elliot was projected to score 16 and Bryant 9, 25 between them. Elliott scored 14 and Bryant 17 for 31. That’s just 6 extra points and I won by 14. Math counts!
@sammydog01 or what? you’ll release the dogs? or the bees? or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you? well go ahead. do your worst!
@MrGlass Nooo! This week you’re playing dragontrainer. She decided to not replace her bye players because she likes them too much. If you lose this one I will make you a loser medal.
@emilyap my top players had a bye, plus some bad luck. Worst thing was I swapped a starter based on an ESPN recommendation, would have been a 15 point difference
@sammydog01 I’m having an off few weeks. Between injuries and Bye weeks my roster has been in turmoil and I don’t even know what to say to Brandon Marshall right now, he’s been so unreliable this season that I don’t know why I keep putting him in except for lack of options. Meant to swap Charcandrick West out too but didn’t remember til ~4:30 yesterday and you know what that means…
@sammydog01 Last week I entered the week with exactly two eligible (non-bye) players who weren’t injured. Two. You can say what you like but that is a challenge for anyone to deal with.
@brendles I was going to give you more crap about cutting Dez Bryant and then I saw that you are on a 5 game winning streak and the new league champ.
(Still, thanks for Dez. And Donte too.)
@sammydog01 Thanks, my football friend I think I have 2nd season beginner’s luck. I love the wombat–he looks psychotic (just like me at times). I see you’re #1 in your division as well; tomorrow could be interesting. Have a great Thanksgiving, and may the best team win!
One game left until the playoffs- best record 8-4, worst record 3-9. We are truly a mediocre league. Best of luck all (except @spcial_snwflake- you are going down hard).
@spcial_snwflake Never mind the fact that I lost despite my best efforts. For example, there is no reasonable reason why three of my players should have amounted to a single point each this past week, and yet they did. The prior week you and I had a fairly close matchup with respective scores both in excess of 100 points that would have both won pretty much any other matchup handily, and I won our first matchup earlier in the season, so I’m not really seeing how this applies. Have fun in the playoffs, go team @sammydog01!
I was curious about the amount of effort put into the league by certain members, so I looked up the number of players acquired by each team during the regular season:
Carl 0
Philp 3
Shards 5
Dragontrainer 8
Brady Fan 9
Snowflake 11
Wombats 14
Sammydog 14
Moose 22
Galmaegi 45
@brendles There’s not much you can do if your opponent has a running back who scores 47 points. And I benched Matt Ryan in favor of Russell Wilson. And my buddy Dez Bryant got negative points. See you in the 3/4 place game?
@brendles Mr. Smartypants pointed out that I tagged you wrong. He will be impossible to live with after this. Next year, @spcial_snwflake I will auto draft the good running backs.
@brendles I got more points than you this week because of my kick-ass Cowboys. They are both being benched next week so they are in good shape for the playoffs. This should be interesting.
@sammydog01 If I get Dez again next year, I might have to trade him again. I think that’s the reason they’re doing so well this year! Looking forward to this week’s match-up.
@galmaegi Thanks so much for running our league this year. I had a blast and had something to discuss with the teenagers on the way to school, I hope we get to do it again next year. Dear league members- you guys are the best!
@sammydog01 I was about to take to the forums and bitch about how life screwed me over, but I would be a hypocrite considering how much joy I take in mocking Bartus, so all I have to say is GG. (Imma go make me a 2nd place trophy. )
I want in on this next time. or for baseball or something. And @meh.com you should give the winner some random trophy or prize. Hell the top 3 get a prize!
@jbartus I have probably gone through 30x that in the last few months. Learning the tech first one was too small, didn’t print right because some bits were too thin.
@jbartus Glad you got it! sorry it took so long to ship, I got lazy and didn’t bother going to ship just the trophy (actually, I only got motivated to ship the pile of stuff that needed returning when I needed to ship the 3d printer back for repair).
Display it proudly, preferably on a mantle of some sort.
@MrGlass Honestly I’m not sure pride is the word since I pretty much don’t want to remember the bullshit that was Fantasy Football
What kind of 3D Printer do you have? I know it’s a fairly simple shape but it seems to have pretty decent resolution and the print looks to be rock solid.
@jbartus Monoprice Maker Select V2. Its actually one of my early prints, newer ones have been a bit better. And there are some upgrades I’ve been meaning to make to improve things s well.
@jbartus Maybe you can find a waterboy or something to fill in for your six unplayable players next week.
@sammydog01 maybe, at least I won’t have to take responsibility for picking them and I can blame @OldCatLady or you (it was your month when the decision was made…) for Meh staff scheduling the draft at the last minute.
I’m busy right now so any more powerful smack talk will have to come later when I can review your picks
@jbartus You can blame me, I still don’t have a clue about Fantasy Football.
@OldCatLady nah I think I’ll blame @sammydog01, it’s her fault the draft happened in September anyhow when it was advertised for August, using the commutative property any blame derived from that August decision is clearly hers. Thanks for volunteering though!
I didn’t even know I was singed/signed up 'til a few minutes ago. How would one view their team if so inclined?
@compunaut Sign in into your account at ESPN, then go to Fantasy. Did you get an email about joining? I don’t see a team for you.
@sammydog01 I guess I’ll check email.
@galmaegi had me on a (draft notification?) list earlier today
@compunaut I see you are on that list. Huh. There are 10 teams, 9 people on the list, and she left herself and @dragontrainer off. So I guess that’s one extra?
@sammydog01 I had no intention of playing (rather just follow forum smack talk anyway); just thought I got plugged in somehow
I need some smack talk lessons. It used to be so easy when I drank to excess and played cards like a demon. These days, not so much.
@brendles Hey, Wombat girl. Think ya got enough quarterbacks there? Maybe you would be better off with just one that didn’t suck. (How’s that?)
@sammydog01 At least I have backups for injuries & bye weeks! (Maybe if I didn’t like you guys so much this would be easier. Somebody needs to piss me off.) sigh
@brendles Now I feel bad about ragging on you.
/giphy sigh
@sammydog01 Mission accomplished!
you are all going down…!!! (was that smacky enough…?..don’t want to overdo it before regular season starts…) damn…! that was to much too soon…right…? i knew i should have toned it down a bit…
@bullrocky You’re so mean!
/giphy crying
@sammydog01 I knew it…I’m sorry…I came on too strong too soon…you guys will probably kick my a$$…wait, was that too wimpy…?..that was too wimpy wasn’t it…? sorry, i apologize…crap…! that made it worse…right…? I think i made it worse…
@bullrocky never apologize, it’s a sign of weakness. Now they all know they can beat you without even trying!
@bullrocky You’re such a wimp!
/giphy wimp
@sammydog01 Wow, that girl is meaner than @bullrocky.
HA! LOSERS!!! I’m the first one cut!!! The day before the leagued formed!! Now, I can just sit smugly back and jeer at all you wimps from the bench, laughing into my rum and coke. muwhahahahahaha.
did i win yet?
how about now?
now?
fuck me, this is taking forever.
am i just talking to myself in here?
@carl669 apparently so.
@mehcronomicon you! look asshole, i told you not to bother me.
@carl669 come on man. don’t you remember the good times we had?
@mehcronomicon yeah. until you cut me up with those metal edged pages of yours. you know how hard it is to explain a cut down there to a doctor?
@carl669 look. I’ve apologized for that a million times. what more do you want from me?
@mehcronomicon i think we should just go back to being friends.
@carl669 fine. we’ll do that. so say we all.
@mehcronomicon fuck you.
@carl669 right back at ya.
@mehcronomicon
@carl669
Pix? Come on, waiting!
If they’re really good, perhaps you get to win.
/giphy Tick Tock already
@f00l pics? you sicko.
@carl669 You’re losing big time, no question about it. @mehcronomicon I’ll be your friend, even with your metal pages.
@carl669
@mehchronomicon
You rang?
Where are the pix of you two being all cuddly, please?
What saith the Mehchronomicon?
/giphy Tick Tock
@sicko “For they that would spell my fucking name wrong, a thousand stings from a thousand ants while in a salt water bath. So say we all.”
@carl669 Oopsie. (I think you know what I mean.)
@Barney but i’m the mehcronomicon’s spokesman.
@carl669 Uh huh.
@mehcronomicon
@sicko humbly begs the @mehcronomicon’s pardon for @sicko’s crude and unforgivable spelling error.
@sicko knows that typing faster on @sicko’s phone just because the stoplight is about to go green is no excuse.
@sicko weeps with shame. @sicko has already applied the prescribed penalty and will do so continuously until @sicko loses interest.
@carl669
@sicko is bored already. Pix please. What kinda cuts down where? Details, large and small, so to speak. @sicko and @world demand to know!
/giphy stand and deliver
I didn’t sign up for any league this year because last year, almost every guy I selected got injured on my team or if I picked them up on waivers, then they too got injured…just saying every person in all leagues should thank me for NOT joining the league this year…especially those that would have picked up the same players I had…
@AttyVette
Having you entire roster suddenly go crip all at once is just part of the fun.
I, too, curse my players to hospital inpatient intervals just by drafting them. So I try to focus on getting players I sorta don’t like much.
@AttyVette That’s when the fun begins- you get a whole new batch of guys.
@f00l @sammydog01 I will try to follow you guys as you have a "meh"velous time… …actually I enjoyed being in the league but too many things going on right now so no time for fun and games …but y’all enjoy!
How do you go about getting on these emails about events, teams and other things y’all are doing?
@mehbee the emails were all after the fact, we all signed up in a forum thread and then @hollboll and @galmaegi used their 1337 H4XX0R staff member skills to snoop our emails and sign us up for the draft which then emailed us.
Baltimore just released Justin Forsett. What? He was on my team last year. I liked him. So I checked what unlucky bastard drafted him this year. Bwahahahaha! Good luck, @jbartus!
@sammydog01
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I didn’t pick him. Honestly missing the draft has really taken the wind out of my sails in terms of my enthusiasm for this whole endeavor.
@jbartus
just hang in there. the half the fun is getting kicked in the face by fate. you learn to enjoy it.
@f00l yeah but in this case I might as well flip a coin and guess at the outcome in my bedroom closet for all the relevance it has. It’s a completely different thing to watch your own decisions condemn you.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@jbartus
Me too I know nothing which makes it even more fun.
/giphy I know nothing
@jbartus Pro tip- quarterbacks are generally the highest scoring players. Go pick up Stafford or Smith or anyone for the first four games. Forsett doesn’t have a team right now, or pick someone else to dump. No one who does well makes it through the season with their initial drafts.
@sammydog01 thanks for the suggestion.
Is it bad that I just noticed that the auto-drafter got Tom Brady for me?
I feel a little better about its decision making process now! 
@sammydog01 FYI I picked up Stafford per your request. Also shuffled out the Questionable people.
Is there a deadline for roster shuffles if it sounds like someone questionable is gonna be playing after all?
@jbartus You can’t move people after their games start, but you can move them around as much as you want before that.
@sammydog01 thank you. Prior message should have said advice, not request. Oops!
Man you people are a bunch of quarterback hogs.
@sammydog01 I am only hogging quarterbacks because you told me to
@jbartus I count more than two as hogging. Two quarterbacks is an acceptable level of sharing. Oh well, all the more wide receivers for me.
Transparency Announcement:
@dragontrainer and @spcial_snwflake are my teenagers. You are all welcome to humiliate them as you play them. I plan to.
(@jbartus- @dragontrainer says you need to step up your smack talk. She’s laughing at you.)
@sammydog01 I let my players do my smack talking for me. Did you see how all those questionables have turned out?
@emilyap Bold strategy, putting in a flex player with a projected point total of 0. Good luck!
@sammydog01 I should maybe pay more attention to what I’m doing, but really, how many points does posing on the field showing off muscles earn?
Your smack talk needs work!
@emilyap Well congrats on the Denver win. Too bad all the Denver players on your team sucked. Maybe get some of the good ones next year?
/giphy flexing muscles
@emilyap gee, @sammydog01 ain’t kidding, I had Carolina’s kicker and he had almost as many points as all of your Denver players combined. If that last field goal hadn’t been such a heart breaker he’d have had more than all three combined!
Signed in to watch you guy get crushed & the ESPN servers are down.
/giphy fantasy fail
@MrGlass What, I have to do math? And remember what players are on my team? Fuck that. Nice job, @OldCatLady.
@sammydog01
Good reason to pop a beer and wait for ESPN to come back on.
@sammydog01 You’re in good company. I’ll take the hit. Not that I have a choice. Me-eh-eh!
@sammydog01 what was @dragontrainer thinking with that defense pick?
@jbartus She is really pissed off that I told you to pick up Matthew Stafford. She would have preferred that you stick with your boyfriend Tom Brady. Don’t count her out- she has Big Ben tomorrow.
@sammydog01 um… please inform her that she’s not facing some dullard who would keep a suspended QB in so all you influenced is who I took.
@sammydog01 also I did evaluate the options so I probably would have ended up with him anyhow
My team still isn’t done scoring, but it looks like the shards are at least 10 points ahead of anyone else.
/giphy victory is mine
@sammydog01 @dragontrainer it looks like that’ll just about do it. Tom Brady and the Wannabes take victory in week one!
@emilyap I was so gonna give you crap this morning on my blowout victory and then Williams went and did that. Kinda cool. Except that’s a lot of zeros you have on your team.
@sammydog01 You make it sound like the goal isn’t to have the lowest score possible.
@emilyap
/giphy lose FTW
I get to get my spawn’s butt this week. Sweet!
@sammydog01 I think that probably sounded better in your head…
@sammydog01 ummmmm…
I think it’s safe to say that Tom Brady and The Wannabes have secured victory again in Week 2, despite several players not playing up to expectations.
Watch out Team Snowballs, we’re coming for you!
@jbartus Notice how I changed my name
@spcial_snwflake cute. Odd spacing due to character limits?
@jbartus yep
@spcial_snwflake yeah that’s a pain. I had to fiddle around for a good ten minutes to come up with something I liked, it was originally going to be Tom Brady and the Wannabe Patriots
@galmaegi Thanks for Kelvin Benjamin. He is awesome!
@sammydog01
Bye Benjamin…
@galmaegi I’ll take good care of him. Unless he blows out his knee- then he’s toast.
@MrGlass Wow, you went from being first in the league to losing to a team with 57 points. What an emotional roller coaster.
/giphy emotional roller coaster
@sammydog01 yeah, both our teams severely underperformed. I’m sure it I cared I could tell you why.
@MrGlass TFW both of ur quarterbacks have -3 fantasy points at the half
@sammydog01 I should point out that Leveon Bell comes back from suspension next week, which should be awesome for me.
@MrGlass And his suspension kept him from getting broken like so many of my players, so good for you!
@sammydog01 “Oh god two of my players are questionable my life is soooooo miserable!”
@sammydog01 “EVERYBODY is breaking their neck 24/7!”
@spcial_snwflake If you play in the Fantasy Movie League instead, you never have to worry about that
@spcial_snwflake My running back that scored 17 points week 1 is on injured reserve- I already dumped him. And one of those Qs is now a D. And my “last minute” team has two Qs and two Os who will be missing 3 and 4-6 weeks respectively. I need to go player shopping.
@compunaut I was 20th in the fantasy movie league last week, so maybe I’ll stick to football.
@compunaut How can you say that? we just lost gene wilder!
@brendles So my kid gave you a top rated running back for that hack Rivers. He wants me to lose. It just means I’ll win by a smaller margin. (I love your team logo by the way.)
@sammydog01 she didn’t even play him
@galmaegi Have @hollboll explain what that big bold “O” means next to a players name. Or maybe you didn’t have time to check your lineup because you were building Fukos. That’s actually a pretty good excuse.
/giphy I’ll allow it
@sammydog01
@galmaegi If it makes you feel any better I’m probably going to lose because Kelvin Benjamin got zero points.
@sammydog01
@galmaegi You still have a shot tonight since my team has been sucking. This is our final week of suck though.
@MrGlass Good thing this is just a “fantasy” football.
Oh god. Me and @jbartus are coming down to the wire. whoever wins is the last undefeated assuming @sammydog01 looses.
@spcial_snwflake How’s that English grade doing this quarter?
@sammydog01
@sammydog01 loosen up mom, at least @spcial_snwflake has a future in the clairvoyant arts.
#IWon #LastUndefeated #JustLikeThePatriots (you know, cause they’re undefeated, not the last… you know what I mean)
@jbartus You are going to be sorry week 5 when you put your boyfriend in at QB and Stafford outscores him by 12 points. And @spcial_snwflake was right, I did loose last week, even though I hoped I would be winninger. That’s lyfe.
@sammydog01
Loyalty runs deeper than some fantasy game!
Don’t play Ryan, they said. It’s his week to bomb, they said. 35 points.
Play Hopkins, they said. He has the highest floor of any wide receiver, they said. 0 points.
You win this time, @spcial_snwflake. See you week thirteen.
@carl669 You played two players that were out with injuries and two players that were on bye and still beat poor dragontrainer. I hope you’re proud of yourself.
/giphy sad panda
@sammydog01 I forgot to mention you beat her by 30 points.
@sammydog01 considering i haven’t touched my lineup since it was autoassigned to me, i am proud. very proud.
in yo face @dragontrainer!
Ugh…I should have not changed anything or picked the players.
@galmaegi it’s okay, I enjoyed the win.
Holy shit was Thursday prolific for me. 53 points out of Carlos Hyde, Larry Fitzgerald, and the Cardinals Defense/Special Teams. Barring some kind of disaster it looks like 5-0-0 is in the bag. Sorry @Moose
@jbartus I have to admit you’re the most talented auto-drafter in the league.
@jbartus what? Is there an imposter in your game? I’m not playing fantasy football…
@sammydog01 because drafting is the only thing that matters right? Choosing who to field, choosing who to drop and who to pick up, none of those matter?
@Moose uh…
Team Moose: http://games.espn.com/ffl/clubhouse?leagueId=1542057&teamId=10
@jbartus That isn’t me! This is an outrage! Who’s impersonating me? Show yourself!
@Moose apparently their name is Kevin.
BTW totally off topic but are you using any of the mods for Prison Architect on the play through thread?
@Moose That would be @bullrocky.
@Moose here i am…and yes, that is my real name…!
@sammydog01 so… what was that you said about regretting benching Stafford in favor of Brady?
And it’s a sweep for the Dog clan. This week the juniors play each other. Blood will be spilled. Anyone have a spare room I can use until Tuesday?
@sammydog01 I don’t think ours is local enough to do much good. Wouldn’t want them to miss school or anything
@jbartus I’ll take the condo in Florida. Don’t worry, I’ll supervise the workmen.
@sammydog01 Oh! I was thinking you wanted to send a child away! xD
It’s presently uninhabitable, mold problems :C
San Diego won. Yay! My one SD player scored a -1. WTF, dude- I can field a punt better than that. This week is off to a stellar start.
I am officially the favorite! I have claimed bragging rights over my sister
@spcial_snwflake The favorite of whom?
Sorry @carl669
@jbartus @carl669 didn’t even put in one of his bench RBs to replace his guy on bye. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t care if he loses. Hey Carl can I have some of your players? Mine all suck.
@jbartus @sammydog01
dammit! i thought i sold off this team weeks ago! i’m gonna assume i’m in last place at the moment then.
@carl669 You beat my daughter in week 4 with two players on bye and two out with injuries. She was not happy.
/giphy crying girl
@carl669 you’re doing as well as @galmaegi who is most definitely trying to improve based upon the aggressive litany of roster changes every week, a playoff berth is not implausible.
@jbartus I plan on winning the loser’s bracket. Because it’s still winning.
@sammydog01 first runner-up is first loser!
@jbartus Participation matters right?
@galmaegi Absolutely! See you in the loser bracket!
@sammydog01
@galmaegi of course. I was just trying to encourage carl. Although now that I think of it I owed you some picking on because you stole my kicker so… there!
@galmaegi Remember when I gave you a hard time about dropping Kelvin Benjamin? Well, I dumped Jay Ajayi to pick min up. Ajayi has scored a total of 59 points in his last two games. I dropped him because I auto-drafted two Miami RBs and kept the other (supposedly better) one, Arian Foster. Foster has made a total of 9 points this season and just quit football entirely. So, sorry for making fun of you.
@galmaegi I just noticed that your best scoring player this week, Tavon Austin, used to be mine too.
@sammydog01 @galmaegi is a waiver pirate to be certain.
@sammydog01 I legitimately thought several weeks ago that this week was the one I would be most worried about in terms of breaking my winning streak because I’d be facing you. What happened?!
@jbartus Well, for one thing the Pats D/ST got 1 point.
@sammydog01 yeah I’m still not really sure how that works.
@sammydog01 apparently your players shaped up in the 11th Hour. Congratulations
@jbartus Well when you wrote the first comment my kick-ass QB was in the first half and the #10 and #18 drafts in the league hadn’t started. (Thanks @brendles for Dez Bryant- my season is looking up.)
@sammydog01 yeah but they weren’t expected to do nearly as well as they did. Also my guys who were left kind of flopped flat on their faces so…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@jbartus Dude- I was projected to win by 5 before the first game started. Check out the line. And I’m pretty sure that your projected points never rose above mine. When I wrote the first reply I was projected to win. Elliot was projected to score 16 and Bryant 9, 25 between them. Elliott scored 14 and Bryant 17 for 31. That’s just 6 extra points and I won by 14. Math counts!
@sammydog01 when I wrote what I wrote you were projected to lose by ~12. Don’t blame me if ESPN’s projections suck in realtime.
@sammydog01 by the by, thanks for beating me so that my record can more closely resemble that of the best team in football. 7 and 1 baby!
@sammydog01 It was the least I could do to help out a rival. Just don’t be surprised if he gets injured again this weekend!
@brendles Ha ha! Probably. It’s not like I have anyone better.
@carl669. Stop humiliating my kids already. You better not beat me next week. Or else.
@sammydog01 or what? you’ll release the dogs? or the bees? or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you? well go ahead. do your worst!
@carl669 Candygram.
@sammydog01
@carl669
I’m disappointed in myself for breaking the Team Philp losing streak. Bad luck, but still no excuse.
@MrGlass Nooo! This week you’re playing dragontrainer. She decided to not replace her bye players because she likes them too much. If you lose this one I will make you a loser medal.
@sammydog01 Last I checked projections have me with a commanding lead. Then again, thats what the projection said last week, too.
@MrGlass I know what you mean. I’m glad I don’t spend money on it.
@MrGlass Yeah, I don’t know how that happened. You dinged my chances at “worst at this ever” award.
@emilyap my top players had a bye, plus some bad luck. Worst thing was I swapped a starter based on an ESPN recommendation, would have been a 15 point difference
@galmaegi I know that @Mehcus is a slave driver but you need to make him give you some time on Thursdays to check your team for injuries.
@sammydog01 You’re the best! Well, it’s too late for me to put him on a bench.
So I did my best to field a team this week but between 6 teams on Bye, of which I had players from 5, and injuries it just wasn’t in the cards.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@galmaegi @emilyap Way to go underdogs! Congrats!
@sammydog01 whoa finally!!
Wow, @jbartus, A. J. Green is good but I don’t think he’s THAT good. Best of luck tomorrow night.
@sammydog01 I’m having an off few weeks. Between injuries and Bye weeks my roster has been in turmoil and I don’t even know what to say to Brandon Marshall right now, he’s been so unreliable this season that I don’t know why I keep putting him in except for lack of options. Meant to swap Charcandrick West out too but didn’t remember til ~4:30 yesterday and you know what that means…
Hoping Carlos Hyde will be back to 100% soon.
@jbartus I guess the rest of us have just been lucky to have no injuries or bye week players.
@sammydog01 Last week I entered the week with exactly two eligible (non-bye) players who weren’t injured. Two. You can say what you like but that is a challenge for anyone to deal with.
@MrGlass
Blake Bortles might actually be the most inconsistent player in the NFL
@brendles I was going to give you more crap about cutting Dez Bryant and then I saw that you are on a 5 game winning streak and the new league champ.
(Still, thanks for Dez. And Donte too.)
@sammydog01 Thanks, my football friend
I think I have 2nd season beginner’s luck. I love the wombat–he looks psychotic (just like me at times). I see you’re #1 in your division as well; tomorrow could be interesting. Have a great Thanksgiving, and may the best team win!
One game left until the playoffs- best record 8-4, worst record 3-9. We are truly a mediocre league. Best of luck all (except @spcial_snwflake- you are going down hard).
@sammydog01 Oh, and the guy who auto-drafted and hasn’t touched his lineup since won 4 games. Totally meh.
@sammydog01 good luck!
@brendles I saw this and thought of you.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/baby-wombat-thinks-dog-don-165821901.html
@sammydog01 You found George! He is adorable
Thank you.
@brendles He is so cute! I never thought of wombats as cute.
Hey, @brendles, see you in the championships as soon as I get rid of that pesky @spcial_snwflake. And @galmaegi, congrats on win!
@sammydog01 The day has come!
@galmaegi Go add some players to your roster and take out Moose.
@sammydog01
@sammydog01 Thanks! I have a blow torch that works great against snow. Let me know if you want me to send it over
Damn, I made the playoffs… why can’t this pain just end already? Last week was a joke and a half never mind the preceding five.
@jbartus Everyone made the playoffs. You made the consolation bracket.
@sammydog01 oh good I can go back to being over this shit and not caring then.
@jbartus
@spcial_snwflake I should point out that you have a shelf of those things yourself.
@spcial_snwflake Never mind the fact that I lost despite my best efforts. For example, there is no reasonable reason why three of my players should have amounted to a single point each this past week, and yet they did. The prior week you and I had a fairly close matchup with respective scores both in excess of 100 points that would have both won pretty much any other matchup handily, and I won our first matchup earlier in the season, so I’m not really seeing how this applies. Have fun in the playoffs, go team @sammydog01!
woo! consolation bracket!
@carl669 Congratulations! I know how hard you worked for this honor.
@sammydog01 seriously! i had to create an account, prove i’m not a robot AND click the link in the verification email. it was very taxing.
I was curious about the amount of effort put into the league by certain members, so I looked up the number of players acquired by each team during the regular season:
Carl 0
Philp 3
Shards 5
Dragontrainer 8
Brady Fan 9
Snowflake 11
Wombats 14
Sammydog 14
Moose 22
Galmaegi 45
Way to show some spirit, @galmaegi! Points to you too, @bullrocky!
@sammydog01 See? I care about football.
@sammydog01 i’m number 1!!
at laziness
Hey, @carl669, someone hacked your account and made a lineup change. Better reset that password.
@sammydog01 that was actually me (yesterday or the day before i think). i figured i’d login and see what i’m actually supposed to be doing.
@sammydog01 Oooh, #4. I’ll take it
@carl669 The first week you actually try and your kick-ass quarterback gets 4 points.
/giphy irony
@sammydog01 see… this is why i don’t try.
I should have just pulled names from a hat this week. I got my ass kicked
That is, unless Julian Edelman can score 71 pts tonight…
@brendles There’s not much you can do if your opponent has a running back who scores 47 points. And I benched Matt Ryan in favor of Russell Wilson. And my buddy Dez Bryant got negative points. See you in the 3/4 place game?
@sammydog01 I look forward to it!
@brendles if it makes you feel better, i basically have no idea what im doing
@MrGlass Whatever it is, you’re doing it well.
@spcial_snwflake
You guys have to watch this video.
@spcial_snwflake
@spcial_snwflake
FUCK YOU BILL!
@ brendles See you in the bronze medal round. It’s a much better color than that tacky gold, don’t you think?
@brendles Mr. Smartypants pointed out that I tagged you wrong. He will be impossible to live with after this. Next year, @spcial_snwflake I will auto draft the good running backs.
@sammydog01 Absolutely! I look horrible in gold
@spcial_snwflake You won. All four weeks we have played. I admit it. Now go clean your room.
Heads up, everyone- tomorrow is game day, not Sunday.
@brendles I got more points than you this week because of my kick-ass Cowboys. They are both being benched next week so they are in good shape for the playoffs. This should be interesting.
@sammydog01 If I get Dez again next year, I might have to trade him again. I think that’s the reason they’re doing so well this year! Looking forward to this week’s match-up.
@brendles Way to pull it out in the last two minutes. Congratulations! Meet you next year on the gridiron.
@sammydog01 Thanks! I was shocked with the outcome. Aaron Rodgers saved my biscuits. It was a fun season and I’m really looking forward to next year.
Unless I’m misreading things, I won. Honestly not sure how that happened.
/giphy What?
@MrGlass All hail our new champion! You won because @spcial_snwflake’s team tanked yesterday. Congratulations!
@MrGlass Congratulations, even though you knocked me out of the finals
@galmaegi Thanks so much for running our league this year. I had a blast and had something to discuss with the teenagers on the way to school, I hope we get to do it again next year. Dear league members- you guys are the best!
@sammydog01 I was about to take to the forums and bitch about how life screwed me over, but I would be a hypocrite considering how much joy I take in mocking Bartus, so all I have to say is GG. (Imma go make me a 2nd place trophy.
)
@spcial_snwflake Good for you! Make me a high points trophy while you’re at it.
@spcial_snwflake @sammydog01
Here, I’ve got everybody covered.
@sammydog01 Glad to hear that! My very first fantasy football experience with you guys!
@jbartus I’m making you one… https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2013616
So, does this mean I have to move up to intermediate next year?
@MrGlass Probably. I think it’s time for me to move to intermediate and have my ass kicked too.
@sammydog01 yeet
@spcial_snwflake Is “yeet” a word?
@spcial_snwflake Yeet works for me!
I want in on this next time. or for baseball or something. And @meh.com you should give the winner some random trophy or prize. Hell the top 3 get a prize!
If only they would
@thelegendaryjt3 NO
@thelegendaryjt3 We should have joined “The Bachelor” fantasy league.
@meh Break my heart why don’t you. YOU MEHstards!
@sammydog01 Not to late
@jbartus Your participation trophy is ready
If you send me your address (mrglass at gmail) I’ll mail it to you
@jbartus I made a better, bigger one
Apologies, I did not have a banana to use for scale so I had to improvise.
@MrGlass wow! That’s a lot of 3D Printer Media! You didn’t have to do that! I’ll get my address over to you shortly!
@jbartus I have probably gone through 30x that in the last few months. Learning the tech
first one was too small, didn’t print right because some bits were too thin.
@MrGlass It arrived.
Now I have to decide where to display it.
@jbartus Glad you got it! sorry it took so long to ship, I got lazy and didn’t bother going to ship just the trophy (actually, I only got motivated to ship the pile of stuff that needed returning when I needed to ship the 3d printer back for repair).
Display it proudly, preferably on a mantle of some sort.
@MrGlass Honestly I’m not sure pride is the word since I pretty much don’t want to remember the bullshit that was Fantasy Football
What kind of 3D Printer do you have? I know it’s a fairly simple shape but it seems to have pretty decent resolution and the print looks to be rock solid.
@jbartus Monoprice Maker Select V2. Its actually one of my early prints, newer ones have been a bit better. And there are some upgrades I’ve been meaning to make to improve things s well.
@MrGlass thanks for the info. Big fan of Monoprice here, glad to see their 3D Printers are as good as everything else they make!
And the unofficial second place trophy:
