I checked to see what we did last year compared to this year.
Last Year we averaged 24 sticks a week.
This year we are averaging 36.3 sticks per week!!!
We are seriously kicking ass, keep hangin, guys. Let's set a brand new precedent for the Third Annual Group next year. We can beat them and they don't even know they're beat yet!!!

Coach Deg · 10-20-2011, 01:02 PM

I'll bet a fiver for the troops!!! Any takers, you name the bet.

I'll go...both of our teams have the best players on bye anyway.

Mattso3000 · 10-20-2011, 05:09 PM

BTW, Scott...trade pending. That hurt a little to give up McCoy, but QB scoring is huge in this league.

I had some serious reservations, but I'm having such an incredible injury year, if I didn't make a move I was doomed. With Jahvid Best concussed now and it not looking good for him the rest of the year (being he's got serious concussion slow healing history), I needed to make a move, no matter how scary.
You're real strong at RB without him. Vick should definately put some points up for ya. I think this trade makes both our teams better.

Plus you earned the troops 10 sticks, you beat the deadline.

It was the grease that made it go, didn't it?

I recounted them about ten times since they showed up, including today. You really messed up my sense of supreme order and neurotic balance. I second the doofus.

With my bet track record they'll get those sticks quick, too.

Coach, PM sent on possible bets.

That said, it's time to fill my humi with your sticks!

I got a 5er and a 5er for the troops that says my kicker will score more pts than yours!
Who wants some?

Bump!
No takers?

You do know you have Vinatieri right? I'll take that bet not so much on confidence in my kicker as the fact that Indy is terrible.

Mattso3000 · 10-21-2011, 05:29 AM

Went back to check the spelling on Vinatieri...pretty proud of myself for hitting that on the first try.

Coach Deg · 10-21-2011, 06:34 AM

I never seen your bet Dom, I would have taken that, my kicker is a beast!!!!!!!

Mattso3000 · 10-21-2011, 07:06 AM

Alright, 3 bets going this week. Dom and I are on for kicker score, a fiver straight up and one for the troops. Mike and I have 2 bets...straight score and a two team draft, my first pick was Sofaman.

Ah, but who's the bigger doofus, the one who sent nine, or the one who had to count them multiple times (up to and including ten) to confirm that there was in fact only nine?

I saw it but didn't take it. Candy from a baby and all...

Stephen · 10-21-2011, 07:50 AM

On a (somewhat) serious note, has anyone talked to Frank (Ranger_B) lately? He's been on the CA website as recently as yesterday but hasn't set his lineup in a month.

shilala · 10-21-2011, 01:18 PM

I just sent Frank a pm. I think he'd mentioned at the onset that he hadn't done this before. I'm guessing it's a bit overwhelming.
I offered a number of ways we can help. They ranged from the guys in the league helping with his lineup all the way to assigning his team. The goal was to see that, at minimum, his lineup gets set every week.
My thoughts are that if he's fielding his nine guys like everyone else, he's always got a chance to win, and that's equal to what anyone else is doing. He doesn't have a bad team at all.

As soon as I hear from him I'll let you guys know where it's at and how things will proceed, if you don't hear from him before that.

It appears you and I need to get a bet going, Doof.

Not sure on my troop stick math, Scott. Gave 20, 5 buy-in, lost 15 in bets +10 from the trade should have me at +10...you have me at -5? Also have 25 more on the way.

I did an audit the other day and thought I missed you and Tim's bets on week five. Now I see I didn't miss them. That brings you both to 0 prior to our trade.
On the 10 from the trade, I just struck ten from my balance just as if I lost a bet with you, rather than moving my sticks to your pile. I see exactly where you're coming from, it was a trade. Duh.
I'll fix that right now.
