Second Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops

[Stephen]

Maybe it's the booze talking, but I'm feeling rather gamey this evening. We'll call this bet, "turkey hunting"... In bowling, if one attains three strikes in a row, it's called, "turkey." Starting week six, I've faced an opponent that's had as good a record as mine (Jonumberone's Jerks in week six, nolo contendere in week seven). This week, I face Sofaman in a battle of 5-2 teams. Ok, onto the bet...

If I beat Sofaman this week and get, "turkey" each team that I beat to obtain, "turkey" will donate five sticks to the troops as tribute to my awesomeness. If, however, Sofaman beats me, I'll donate TWENTY sticks to the troops for the failure of achieving, "turkey" and as penance for my boastfulness. So...

If I win:
Jonumberone's Jerks - fiver for the troops
nolo contendere - fiver for the troops
Sofaman - fiver for the troops
Me: Awesome

If I lose:
Me: One pathetic loser AND twenty sticks for the troops

In either case:
Troops - Winners

What do you guys say? Who wants to see some:

Don't be sorry, brother, you're absolutely right. I just plain forgot, I don't think I ever saw your answer.
I'll fix the list and try to get your smokes out tomorrow. Congratulations!!!

Adding my bet with Tim that I forgot about.

I am in Thats a great bet no matter what happens the troops win

[shilala]

I don't know if George will see this, but I'm sure he'd go for it if Dom does.

[Stephen]

I'd just like to state for the record that I hate Percy Harvin. The guy's scored 15 points a week except for the two weeks that I started him.

[shilala]

George is in on the bet. I'm sure he won't mind me making the bet for him, and if he does, I'll cover it.
He's super busy, I highly doubt he's even had a chance to check this thread. Last year he didn't get to do much betting until the end of the year.
I hope he comes around a bit so you guys get to know him. I love the guy. He's easily one of the finest brothers we've ever been graced with.

Two weeks in a row without a defense?

Turkey Hunting:

Shockers: 167.80 - Complete
Sofaman: 132.40 + Ryan Mathews + Antonio Gates

This one is going to be a photo finish too.

Great bet...having fun watching this one.

Shilala... How's McCoy doin for ya? That was a good trade, made both teams better. Hopefully they both stay healthy.

I put in Chicago's D and forgot they were off, it's been a hectic week here to say the least. I could kick myself for not picking up another kicker too I guess this is why they fired me as the Redskins GM

I think he rolled up around 31 points for me. He's a big shot in the arm.
All the stars aligned for me this week, Victor Cruz and Nate Washington grabbed about 20 points each and Newton had a 74 point day.
I have 187 points and still have Jackie Battle tonight. I'm more excited about watching him play than the numbers he puts up tonight. I think he's going to be a big deal and a talented rb.
I see Vick did right by you, too. I'm glad we worked that trade out, it definately worked out both ways.

[Mattso3000]

I like how close this league is from top to bottom, only one team out of it after 8 weeks. Still anyone's game. Scott, should have some sticks showing up today.

[shilala]

Matt, I got your sticks yesterday or the day before.
Dom, I got your sticks last night. I'll add them a little later, I gotta get moving, I have a doctor appt.

I need to know the results of bets for this week. I think the turkey shoot was the only one going on. If someone would pm me the final results, I'll get it logged.
If there were any others, let me know.

I added the 25 sticks I received from Matt and 40 sticks I received from Dom in this revision.
