For the 12 of you (counting me) who are participating in this year's AFF game, talk smack to your opponents, discuss trade deals, and anything else about the league. ...all leading up to the big question:

Who's going to win the first (hopefully annual) AFF Title?

I think I have a pretty solid team...although I doubt it's strong enough to win the league.

I love to make trades and I'll trade anyone on my team, if anyone's interested in any of my guys feel free to propose.

GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY! Romo and Burress...damn. Thank you, football gods, you are truly watching over me.

Had a pretty good day from Steve Smith and Antonio Gates. All I need is a solid performance from Leinart tomorrow night and I have a pretty good shot of taking week one.

Who's going to win the first (hopefully annual) AFF Title?

I have nothing to talk smack about. My poor team sucks. I've made big changes and will make more. Help!

2. not me.

GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY! Romo and Burress...damn. Thank you, football gods, you are truly watching over me.

*sigh* The only good thing I can say about this is that my team still has 3 players (including my #1 pick) going tonight, so I still stand a chance of overcoming the Romo/Burress explosion.

If Gore, Heap, and Clayton can outscore Chad Johnson by 30+ points, I could still win....not likely, but possible!

I have a 27 point lead going into tonight. my opponenet has TJ Hoyourmama or whatever his name is left. i got Vernon Davis and the Ravens kicker. I should have it.

If Gore, Heap, and Clayton can outscore Chad Johnson by 30+ points, I could still win....not likely, but possible!

Lol, that didn't happen...I think Chad Johnson outscored the three of them put together.

Clayton had a zero point day....he's scaring me.

Not only did I win, I had the most points in the league for week 1. Wow. And I thought my team was mediocre at best.

did I win? I cant check my team right now. I am the CP Crushers

Yes, Trav, you won. Not only that, but you're in second place, only to Borg.

I, on the other hand, am ranked 5th this week, with a tough battle against the Triple-H threat.

sweet! thanks KC

My team did Diddly dick this week... but then again, I would not have drafted many of my players.. I'll come around though

I am wondering how that person who picked the Browns "D" feels about that pick now?

Maybe trav will give me some pointers. I got rid of Cleveland's defense and got Indy.

I am wondering how that person who picked the Browns "D" feels about that pick now?

I feel just dandy!
nothing like being in last place--like the real Browns.

LOL, I forgot that was you. You said the Browns "D" was going to be a sleeper, lol. Sorry, not laughing at you, but picking your home team is the first no-no of fansty sports, unless you live in Indy or San Diego of course.

I can give you some pointers if you like, although I am no expert, Borg is the league leader as of now.

True, no more be true to your school.

this is hard, it took me 2 years to figure out NASCAR fantasy and pick good teams. It's always a mistake to just go with yr favorite drivers.
i'll try to muddle through, hopefully do better next week. If not, i'll PM you for some HELP!!!!!!!

Sorry, not laughing at you, but picking your home team is the first no-no of fansty sports
Didn't you pick Alex Smith? ;)

I didnt say I was perfect. I dropped him anyway, same bye week as Payton. I I got pennington of the wire, but think he may be hurt so I got to go get someone else for week 6.

Trav, tell your Niners defense to play well against the pass this week. Decka has Bulger and I want to see him with ~150 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions. Make it happen!

well, they played great against AZ last week. You know they got a couple of stud recievers and we held them to like 40 something yards between them. The Rams O-line is decimated too so we should be able to get some blitzes going. We play the Rams a lot, and I know that if Bulger gets rattled, he starts to throw picks, so if we can get some pressure on him you may get your wish.

Plus the Rams D is banged up and riddled with suspensions. We should be able to run up the score a bit, IF alex can get going. We know Gore will get his.

DOh! Sorry borg, I sen the memo but it must have got there late. Bulger had a good game stat wise, but still lost the game, which I am sure you could care less about.

SOme Really close games this week! I still have a shot at beating Rendova, but I dont think it will happen when she still has Portis and Akers. I have randal el and westbrook though still, so it will be tight! I am down by 3.

If only I started the SF Defense like I was going to I would be in the lead damnit!

Wow! The Steve Smith Show was in full swing this week...42 points from him alone! Not only that, but a solid shot at upsetting Hutz as well. W00T!

Okay, all of Decka's players have played, and I have two left. Reggie Brown and Chris Cooley. If they combine for 15.38 points, I beat Decka.

Come on, shootout! No defensive battles! Was @ Phi, high scoring affair! Another Browns and Bengals game!

This has nothing to do with fantasy, but what are yr thoughts on that stunt Shanahn pulled on Janikowski--the last minute 51 yard FG?

I know it's legal, but I still thought it sucked. God, I hate Denver and everything about them. A low-class stunt. Just one more reason to hate Denver.

as long as westbrook and randal-el get all the points I second that motion!

It's called icing the kicker. Every team does this.

That's true, and it's called icing the shoe when a guy attempts a free throw from the charity stripe, esp in the waning seconds.

It looked suspicious. He had already kicked the FG. I did not hear a whistle but saw Shanahan signaling for a TO but could not tell when that happened.

Of course, they were playing in Denver, where no one wins, ever, except them.

I heard two whistles before the snap. In fact, I was wondering why the hell they were going through with the play while Janikowski was kicking it, then when I saw them celebrating, I was like, "What the hell? I heard whistles." Then, finally, the bonehead announcers figured out what had happened.

I heard nary a thing, but that could be because of old age....you will not hear a good thing about Denver from my end, ever.

Sure, but you have to be consistent with your gripes. If you're upset because they won, say so. They didn't do anything wrong to win that game.

Oh, I'm consistent. I've hated them for years.
Am I unhappy that they won?
Yes. unhappy how they won?
Yes.
Hate their ugly unifroms and dumpy stadium?
Yes.
And Shanahan 's a rat faced turd but that's besides the point.:eek:

I'm rather indifferent toward the Broncos, but they still have some lingering good will from me for beating the accursed Packers in Super Bowl XXXII. I dislike the Raiders slightly, so I was tentatively rooting for the Broncos in that game.

But that's just me.

Wow, borg--good thing you weren't in my house for that Packers-Denver SB. Daughter was so upset, she kicked a hole in the door.
She will hate Denver forever and worships her Packers, but other than that she's a fine person.....

Leftover hate from the drive and the fumble, rendova?

LOL, there's nothing quite like leftover hate.

PS Congratulations on being in first place. Hoping our Brownies follow yr lead.
:)

CBL and SBKC - the owners of perfect records thus far.

damnit, 1-1 I assume. I havent looked but after last nights game I am not thinking Westbrook did much fantasy wise, or Randle-El. Oh well.

1-1 my fucking ass. Both 2-0 teams have lower amounts of points than the first three 1-1 teams.

so do the 49ers

I, honestly, am quite surprised to be at 2-0. I figured Hutz's team would piledrive me into the ground...which he would have if it weren't for Steve Smith racking up the points for me.

I scored 168 points in my other league this week, 154 last week, it is pure ownage. Steve Smith and Andre Johnson, Shawn Alexander and Edgerrin James, Eli Manning and Vince Young. Pitt. Defense. It's pretty damn retarded if you ask me. Needless to say I'm 2-0 and pretty far ahead in points in that one lol. Hopefully I can pull the AF team up some too.

Yeah, but you've seen the news on Andre Johnson, right? Sprained knee ligament. He's doubtful for next week, and could miss an additional game or two. I'm not too pleased about that one since Johnson's been my best player so far.

You know what I think is retarded is the scoring system for defense. My Seahawks allowed 23 points and had a 2-point fantasy total. Fine, 23 points is a below average performance for a defense IMO. However, Borg's 51 points scored on his Cinci defense only got him negative 2 points. That's a bunch of B.S. if you ask me.

On a side note, call me crazy but I think I'm going to start the Browns QB over Kitna....surely, 51 points can't be a fluke.

Edit: In case y'all don't check the message board in the league. I'm looking for a receiver in exchange for Deshaun Foster....I would also consider trading Jamal Lewis for a good WR prospect.

I posted the scoring rules before the start of the season, you should have said somethng about it then, it's to late now!

Unfortunately, WRs are all I have keeping my team alive right now. However, if anyone is willing to hand over a decent RB, I may be willing to make an offer.

It's np, Trav. 20/20 hindsight at work here.

Damn I'm glad I started Kevin Kurtis this week! But Leinart left the game in the 1st quarter :(.

ya, your going down!

Yeah, you have a solid chance. I took a gamble and started a back-up RB that did very well last week (DeShawn Wynn) who was SUPPOSED to get more carries this week....that didn't happen. And with Leinart going out early in his game....eeeeeekkk....

I faced freakin McNabb this week, just chalk up an L

No excuse, Decka! I vanquished Carson Palmer last week!

So let me get this straight:

1. I start Leinart, he plays for a fraction of the first quarter and is done.
2. Steve Smith doesn't do jack shit this week.
3. DeShawn Wynn was up-and-coming for the Packers, but gets nothing.
4. Philip Rivers and Ronnie Brown get three touchdowns each...AND I DIDN'T START EITHER OF THEM!

Trav, I would have easily wiped the floor with you, had I not been playing with half of a team this week.

as carbon said, no excuses! you are now 2-1, just like me! I cant see the board now, but I think borg beat the last 2-0 team so we are back to ground zero basically.

Yeah yeah...I'm just pissed that I missed all those points.

I'm looking at the board right now...and it appears that there will be no undefeated teams left, but one that has yet to win a game.

I know what you mean about missed points, it sucks. Last week I almost started the SF defense, and wish I would have. I dont think I would have won but still, the San Diego D is pretty sad this year, not at allwhat I thought they were going to be. I also almost benched Westbrook this week due to all the injury talk, I am very glad i didnt. It seems every week that guy is questionable but still plays.

I almost benched Plax because of the Q there, but I didn't and I'm glad. I think Vincent Jackson is finally settled enough to be my 3WR, too, so I can get Booker out of that spot. Reggie Brown really needs to wake up and start playing, though.

In other news, it's looking like I'm going to be 2-1 and probably leading the league in scoring again. Who's your daddy?

I've moved from dead last to seventh. Lawdy!

Me happy. Next up--you, Phyrex. The bye weeks should make it, uh, interesting.

Borg, Hoosier Daddy?
Why, Coach Knight.:eek:

Hopefully I'll have a full team playing this coming week. Looks like I'll have to find a replacement for McAllister as well.

As for my team, I'm right in the muddled middle of the 2-1's...who's going to break out on top after next week? Stay tuned!

Hopefully I'll have a full team playing this coming week. Looks like I'll have to find a replacement for McAllister as well.


Damn, Deuce with a torn ACL. Quite the godsend for Reggie Bush fantasy owners....

I pretty much got rid of a huge chunk of my team today...either because they're out for the season, out for an extended period of time, or just aren't performing well. Hopefully my replacements will do well...for the time being.

Speaking of which, anybody need a decent tight end? Kellen Winslow has got some value to him and I'm looking for a good offer.

Ah, you got Sammy Morris! If I didn't have too damn many RB's as it is, I would have picked him up. That SOB is eating away at my No.2 pick's (Mahoney's) fantasy stats....

EDIT: Borg, if you're reading this, I have to say, your team is pretty damn intimidating these days.

What do you need?

What are you willing to offer?

How about Jax D?

I'm thinking Kellen Winslow and another player of your choice (except for Smith or Brown), for Hasselbeck. What do you think?

GODDAMMIT I keep playing really good teams and losing. And I still lead the league in points despite being 2-2. Oh well, Phyrex is a cupcake, on my way to 3-2... ;)

EDIT: How is a team (me) with 489 points 2-2 while a team with 330 points is 3-1? Collusion, I tells ya!

The gods of football just love me.:flowers:

PS I play bunnygrenade next and he is tough--I don't expect to stay good for long.

My fantasy stud LaMont Jordan got hurt, lovely. At least LJ actually broke 100 yards this week.

Originally Posted by rendova

Well...I dunno. My QB's have been under-performing this year, my receivers haven't been playing the best ball this year, and my defense was struggling...hopefully Detroit's D can do something about that.

Might be a closer game than you think.

I cannot believe I beat Phyrex--i made a bonehead play and had Antwan Boldin as a starter and he didn't even play!--note to self--make sure a guy is actually playing, lol---just sheer stupidity on my part and not having time to check---I don't mind losing when it's out of yr hands but my own stupidity is something else.

Winslow and Curtis for Hasselbeck?

Yeah, you have the same record as me. That's pathetic! My team has a good record given that I'm 10th in points scored.

Sounds good to me. I've initiated the trade.

Well bunnygrenade, unless Marion Barber gets 200 yards and 5 TDs tonite, looks like you have this one well in hand!

wtf? I played Decka who had a QB who didnt play and a guy on his bye wek and I lost? Thtas bullshit.

I only picked up a stray kicker to fill in for Longwell while he was on his bye this week....by an unbelievable stroke of luck, I picked Kris Brown...who scored more points than anyone else on my team.

I'll repeat.....my KICKER...scored MORE POINTS...than ANYONE ELSE ON MY TEAM!

Everything else about my team this week was atrocious. Hasselbeck sucked it up, the Detroit Defense was poor, and the week I kick Philip Rivers off my team, he finally produces. Oh well, that's the unpredictability of Fantasy Football.

Speaking of kickers, Phyrex needs his kicker to score his team 39 points plus whatever my man Romo will do in order to beat me.

Somehow, I feel no anxiety about this week.

What a miserable week! My high scorer was my tight end...with 90+ yards receiving and no TD's. Not to mention, it seems I have a 4th starter injured. Fantastic.

My team's laying a big old stinking turd this week. Maybe I better start paying attention to injury reports.

Or maybe not. Decka did just fine this week agaisnt me with Bulger who was out and a WR on his bye week. Thanks a lot seahawks for giving up that shut out :rolleyes:

Yay for a good week for me...no problem getting by the 1-4 Phyrex. And to whoever has A.P. on their team, no worries from you either.

I got AP on my team, the guy is a stud! The guy I am playing, I think its puppyslayers, has like 3 guys on bye, but after last week I dont take that lightly anymore. I had Warner as my QB this week since PEyton wason bye, of course warner got like 2 passes for 2 yards and got hurt.

whoops forgot to update; you're lucky as hell trav!

I didn't do too bad.
The Tampa D came through for me , and Wes Welker.
I'm hoping Anquan Boldin starts next week. ...It'll be interesting playing Decka, he has a strong team.

I won with my top RB out on bye. That improved morale among the troops!

Bring it on, Hutz.

I'm sorry I traded off Welker. He's got a nice gig over there in New England. In the meantime, the Jamal Lewis and Deion Branch I got in return are both injured :eek:

The mere fact that I'm saying this says a lot about the quality of my season, but it'll be nice to have the Lions come off their bye week.

I got the league leader this week, now is my chance to knock him off and take first place!

I forgot about this fantasy league... I was sitting Reggie Bush and Jones Drew for 3 weeks.. not to mention starting an injured Marc Bulger... oops..

Oh well, it was still good enough to beat Trav ;) hahahah

Hopin i get back on track... the way I have played i should be 0-6, and i'm 2-4... could be ALOT worse

Don't worry Lep--Jamal should play after the bye week and he'll get you some good yards.:)

I got the league leader this week, now is my chance to knock him off and take first place!


It figures Trav, you got the one team I fear the most and you catch me on a week where LT has a bye. Well hopefully Carson Palmer can have a big game to help cushion LT's loss. I wanted my home town boy Adrian Peterson real bad in the draft and now I'm gonna be torn as to whether I want him to do well. Do I care more about my Vikes or our fantasy game? Oh well, I hope the rest of your guys suck so that Adrian can get off again. :thumbs:

I had a pretty good game...hoping the Indy defense holds J'ville to 10 points or less, tho I doubt that happens. Thank God the Colts are playing at home..the last time the 2 played, J won.

PS Who is "Howitzers"?
Havok, is that you?
My god, with Brady getting 6 TDs a game, doesn't matter if the rest of yr team does well or not.

SOMEBODY STOP BRADY!!!!

I went in with, undoubtedly, my weakest team of the season thus far and STILL pulled off a all-but-done-deal victory against Leper's team. The only way I can lose is if his TE scores 20+ points.

As for Trav Banking on A.D....looks like you didn't really need him this week.

Whats the score between me and G man? I cant look at it. I am thinking the Giants D got me a ton of points. I should stillb e in the race with Payton still to go tonight

Bulldog Bullies
84.54
CP Crushers
105.00

And you still have Peyton Manning playing tonight. Looks like you knocked off the #1 team. Congrats to you!

sweet, and I still got Peyton left to go tonight. I dont think he has anyone left. Looks like I may jump up to first, or probably it wil be borg.

Wow, my team failed to score a single TD. I'm about to sink to 2-5. Depressing. At least I won some money betting on the Lions game...Now, if only the Colts can cover their 3.5 point spread on Jax.

Suddenly my team sucks. :( At least I picked up Kevin Walter from the FA list; he's a huge improvement over Marty Booker, who was merely eating a roster spot.

Romo's cooling off. Maybe it's time for Brees to get hot?

Are you losing borg? man, if you lose and I win I hopefully I will jump to first place. Or I may still be tied with the bulldog bullies, but since I beat him I should hold the tie breaker.

and I wouldnt start Brees over Romo, no way. Although Brees may be a good choice this week when they go agaisnt the pathetic and floundering and totally inept 49ers.
