Fantasty Football 2008

You must be joking! I know nothing about baseball or football. Hockey? I know even less. Count me in if you can round up players here.

Do I have to know anything about it? (We do own a movie in which one of the leads plays the part of a former hockey player.)

I think I'll pass - I don't even want to know anything about hockey...
in contrast to soccer/futbol, which I would like to learn more about (as in anything at all..).


Football question -
Towards the end of the SD - Oakland game, my guy Sproles got in a 67 yd run.

Quoting cbs/glog: "Sproles takes the kick from 2 yards deep, and he breaks a huge 67-yard run. Excellent blocking and a good cut gets them great field position on the Raiders' 35."

That's not showing up on my Dognosed Sharks data as either a reception or rushing.. Doesn't a punt runback count, or is yahoo just slow?

I'm in.

I know absolutely nothing about hockey.


I'm in.

I don't think those yardage stats count. If he had scored a TD, though, I think it would have counted.

Thanks, Tico. I've since looked up the game in week 2 when he ran a lot (nearing 300 yds), but his punt runback then didn't count at the time.

In standard Yahoo scoring his kickoff return did not count (which is why it does not register as a rushing or receiving TD for him in week 2), but in the A2K_2008 league's scoring, return touchdowns do count as 6 points. Had he been on your roster that week, it would have counted for you.

If you look at his stats for the 2008 season, it shows him having 1 "Ret TD".

I'm in!

Hello out there! We're on the air,
It's Hockey Night tonight;
Tension grows, the whistle blows,
And the puck goes down the ice.
The goalie jumps, and the players bump,
And the fans all go insane;
Someone roars, "Bobby scores!"
At the good old hockey game.

Oh! The good old hockey game,
Is the best game you can name;
And the best game you can name,
Is the good old Hockey game!

[spoken] "Second period...."
Where players dash with skates a-flash,
The home team trails behind;
But they grab the puck and go bursting up,
And they're down across the line.
They storm the crease like bumble bees,
They travel like a burning flame;
We see them slide the puck inside,
It's a one-one hockey game.

Oh! The good old hockey game,
Is the best game you can name;
And the best game you can name,
Is the good old Hockey game!

[spoken] Third period! Last game in the playoffs, too!"
Oh, take me where the hockey players
Face-off down the rink;
And the Stanley Cup is all filled up,
For the champs who win the drink.
Now the final flick of a hockey stick,
And the one gigantic scream:
"The puck is in" - The home team wins
The good old hockey game!

Oh! The good old hockey game,
Is the best game you can name;
And the best game you can name,
Is the good old Hockey game!

Aha. Thanks.

Eek I go away for a few days and suddenly it's hockey time, eh?

Sweet! We have Hockey Fans!

I started a thread.

Sharpen your blades and rinse out your mouthpiece!

Rinse?

Yes. Whether it needs it or not. We have standards, y'know.

When my marginal replacement wide receiver managed to come with with 5 pts in the 4th quarter to barely squeak by the Ticomaniacs, I thought the Owls might be in third place. But nooooo, ZOOM---the Grand Wazoo tromps right over their heads....leaving tire tracks and everything.

And this week we are playing a 0-4 team that has more projected points than we do.

That isn't good is it?

Depends on if you are you or the 0-4 team...

Well, the last time I looked, I was me.

The Rednecks scored 103 Fantasy Points today...and we still have a game to go. Ha.
