[MikeD]

Anyone interested in the league again this season? Ray, you gonna be setting this up again?

Just wondering...enjoyed it last year, wouldn't mind doing it again.

[ray]

I'll be setting it up shortly. Most likely sometime this afternoon or tomorrow.

I will post details when I can.

Live Draft on Sun Aug 27 10:30am PDT

[MikeD]

In, thanks for setting it up...

[ialsohaveadream]

Is it with 2 starting QBs each week again?

[MikeD]

Is it with 2 starting QBs each week again?

Yeah, so draft accordingly this year. That means taking both Chris Simms and another QB in the first two rounds. ;)

[ialsohaveadream]

Actually, you can count me out. I like the 1 QB/2 RB/2-3 WR format better. Plus, I remember the scoring being very odd last year, with QBs routinely scoring negative points.

[ray]

7 more spots.

[VTGreg]

Just a suggestion, but if you are going to have bonuses for 150 rush yards and 150 receive yards you should have a bonus for 300 pass yards.

And I agree on the format being odd, but what the heck, it's free.

Anyone interested in joining a traditional 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex, 1 Def league? If so, PM me and I'll set one up.

Yahoo doesn't allow for a bonus for passing.

edit: oops, i found the option. cleverly hidden with sacks and interceptions.

I'm in for that. Just use traditional scoring along with those bonuses you mentioned. Let me know when you get it set up.

Oh, one other thing: there must be a lot of trash talk. It just makes it so much more enjoyable.

[cheapie]

i'm in ray

I'm in for VT's as well, if he gets it set up. It's always good to have another first place trophy to hang up, especially when it's won by kicking the dogpiss out of your friends.

[Yossarian]

i'm good for ray's, and if the other one gets setup, i'll get in that one too

[faither]

I'm in.

[ray]

4 more spots.

[guiseppewv]

I'm in.

[MikeD]

So I get to destroy Cheapie AND Guiseppe this year? Awesome...:hehehmm:

Nothing better than whippin' up on a Steelers fan...wait, maybe a 'Skins fan. Can we get a solid commit on VTGreg in here too?

I really want JENNY to sign up again this year, but she's hiding in the closet.

BTW - check out the team names. Can you guess which is mine? :P

Or, the humilation your little girl of a team will feel after the ass-kicking my boys will lay on them. Can't wait...

[guiseppewv]

Whateva. It is going to be pretty humilating to get your arses handed to you by a bunch of girls.

[VTGreg]

I signed up for this one and will set up a more traditional one this evening. I'll post the info after it is setup. Any preference on draft times? Since there seems to be a lot of overlap in the members of both leagues, is anyone against having the draft the same weekend?

Don't forget that's Labor Day Weekend. I'm not sure if i'll even be around that weekend, which is why I scheduled my draft for the weekend before that.

If you guys need a filler closer to draft day give me a shout and i'll fill up for ya.

[guiseppewv]

Is the league full? I just tried to join and it gave me an error.

[ray]

The league i started still has 2 spots open. Not sure on the other one.

[guiseppewv]

Sorry, I Was talking about VTGreg's league.

[VTGreg]

Only one team has joined my league so there are 8 spots left. I was getting a bunch of errors yesterday when I setup the league so they may just be having technical difficulties with the amount of traffic.

For those that plan on joining the league, we can have the draft on labor day weekend at pretty much anytime or we can have it the weekend before on Sunday morning. The only times that are left the weekend before are 9 and 10 am EDT so it would be very early for any people on the west coast. The other option is to have the draft on a weeknight but that may also prove tricky. Let me know what you want to do because I'm flexible.

[guiseppewv]

I'm in on VPI-Greg's league. :P

[ialsohaveadream]

I'm also in on the Hopeless Hokie league. :)

[ray]

We just need 2 more signups and we're all set!

[VTGreg]

With all of the college football rivalries present, is anyone interested in participating in a college football pickem league? I can set one up on espn if there is enough interest.

I have never done a college one but I would be up for it. Have you played in one before? If so, what are the differences?

[VTGreg]

Yeah, I've been in a college pick-em league for the last few seasons. Here's the rub:

10 games picked each week. You assign a confidence rating to each pick. You then get the amount of points you assigned if you get the pick right.

I love it! I like college way more than pro anyway. Plus, I think I bring another non-forum member if we needed to fill another spot.

[TofuNinja]

I'm Slytherin in both ;)

[ray]

My league has 1 spot left. cough, JENNY, cough

[ray]

bumped for Jenny!! 1 spot left :)

[VTGreg]

Still need 4 in the more traditional FFL. Pass the word along if you know anyone that is interested. If we can't get at least 10, I'll cancel the league.

[MikeD]

4 is a bit steep at this stage of the game. Looks like things might be :dead:

[ray]

Okay, the G|A league i setup is full now.

I have 5 spots open in my personal league that will be drafting this Saturday at 1:30pm EST. It's slightly more traditional from a settings standpoint, but we like changing up our rules and scoring every year to keep things fresh and interesting.

Though this isn't a keeper league, it is a league that I run with my real life friends every year. If you want to join and be a player every year then please send me a PM so I can add you to my distribution list.

I hope to see some of you sign up.

Yes, that's right. The SJ's roll into G.O.A.T. Stadium this week, carrying their respectable 5-1 record. But this is Prime Time, baby...Pop Warner season is over! Prepare for the beatdown that is coming!

Like my man Alan Greenspan says...Bank it! :hehehmm:

Who is a Pitt fan? Let me know so I can make fun of them. As a WVU alum I am always up for making fun of Pitt puke fans.

BTW - Did ya'll see that great win on Sunday by Pittsburgh? It was also nice seeing a pathetic team like Houston beating Dallas....at least for a few minutes. :P

Keep talkin' that smack jack. Your Bye's and injuries are going to be your DOOM this week. But more importantly...which one of your star players are you going to drop this week to fill your empty TE position? ;)

[MikeD]

:heh:

LOL. You ladies are funny.

I take all the hatin' as nothing but respect. Bye weeks, injuries, no TE, changing team names; hey, it's all good. Just tells me you're up at night, losing sleep..."How do I stop the G.O.A.T.'s? What to do about the G.O.A.T.'s?" ;)

[sizemic1]

It's going to be CLOSE! By my calculations the SJ's have a 12pt lead over the GOATS. You still have the Dallas DEF for tomorrow. So here's to the NY Giants scoring 50 points and no INT's!:cheers:

[TofuNinja]

Hey my name change was not hatin' It's the truth LOL If the Goats are #1, it is only fitting that the worst team be the AntiGoats for their unGoat like proformances :)

[sizemic1]

Well the team formerly playing like The G.O.A.Ts. gave it the ol' college try. But in the end, the better coach and better team won. Better luck next time succa :)

Sometimes you have skill, sometimes you have luck, sometimes you have both. Just sayin'.

I was on my 4th QB, my #1 RB is still out, and I didn't even bother to play a tight end. Hell, I even had a guy get hurt in pregame warmups! And yet...some of us were still up late, sweatin'. Just sayin'.

Week 16, baby. Hope you make it. :)

Seriously, congrats on the win. We'll meet again.

Hey, it's all good. You know I love talking smack...it brings some life to the league! At least SMJ brought some back, if you want to call it that. :D

Speaking of which...your boy Toothlessberger was looking pretty good on Sunday! Too bad he's turning into Aikman II, Mr. Concussion. :hihi: Your boys are still looking good in the North, though.

[guiseppewv]

Give me a call when deadsoe starts doing something with the thing you call your "offense". :P I noticed that you picked up a QB that would actually earn you some points in FF rather than that old man that Dallas calls a QB. :P

[ray]

ruh-roh. i won again. nearing the .500 mark. be afraid!

You give up 41 to Mike Vick, yet you call out my 'Boys. Now that's a true fan!

Granted, Vick is the greatest college QB of all time. Remember that sideline scamper in '99 to set up a game-winning FG? The one that propelled them to the National Title game?

I forget who the opponent was, or where the game was played. Do you remember? Hmmm...

Nothin' but love, GWV! :)

That was the year WVU finished 4-7 and still almost was the monkey in your wrench. If it wasn't for some lucky plays and some gifts from the refs you would have had an "L" hung on you by a 4-7 team. And, was that the national title game that your boys lost? :P

BTW, how are they doing this year? Are they still ranked? Man, that ACC sure is great now that they have added all of the former Big East punks. :P I wonder how many ACC brawls will happen this wknd. :P

[guiseppewv]

Well, I wouldn't start Bledsoe this weekend. Looks like Romo is going to start. Mike - are you ready for another loss? :P


IRVING, Texas — Tony Romo is taking over as the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, and will make his first career start Sunday night at Carolina.
Coach Bill Parcells said Wednesday that Romo, who replaced 14-year veteran Drew Bledsoe in the second half of Monday night's 36-22 loss to the New York Giants, will start.

"Any time you do something like this, it's not without a lot of consideration," Parcells said. "I've been thinking about it for some time. ... Hopefully, maybe as the team is comprised right now, he might be able to do a couple of things that assist us."

Neither Bledsoe nor Romo appeared in the Cowboys locker room when it was open to reporters earlier Wednesday.

Romo, a fourth-year pro who had never thrown a pass in a game until this season, will be the ninth different starting quarterback for the Cowboys since Hall of Famer and three-time Super Bowl champion Troy Aikman retired after the 2001 season.

Bledsoe joined Parcells in Dallas before the 2005 season, reuniting with the coach who made him the No. 1 pick in 1993 for the New England Patriots.

His last pass Monday night was an interception at the goal line just before halftime when the Cowboys had a chance to take the lead. Bledsoe had already been sacked four times, once for a safety.

Romo was intercepted on his first pass, on a ball tipped by Michael Strahan. He threw two more interceptions, one returned 96 yards for a touchdown.

"He's got to be more careful with the ball than he was the other night," Parcells said.

But Romo also showed he could be effective. He scrambled and completed 14 of 25 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns, and flashed more footwork running for a 2-point conversion.


LINK (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/2006-10-25-romo-starter_x.htm)

[MikeD]

I'm ready to find out if we have a QB or not. Hey, the young guys either work or they don't. Roethleiseshbuerger worked out...some other guys don't. Dallas wasn't going to win the big games with Bledsoe, so let's see what Romo can do. At least get the learning curve out of the way.

See, I'm a realist as a fan. I know when my team has a shot and when they don't. Just sayin'. ;)

[guiseppewv]

Your team hasn't had a shot in about a decade - it is nice you are finally getting a grip with reality. :P ;) My team, on the other hand, always has a shot. :P

NEWS FLASH:

Wait, since you focus so much on The G.O.A.T.'s, I probably already have your attention. :hihi:

Due to all the Haterade being consumed around the league, The G.O.A.T.'s have brought in a consultant. Why, you ask? To review options pertaining to a new team name.

Ladies and gentlemen, so hello to our consultant and the (still) #1 team: Prime Time.

Hello Rerun.

The SJ's will be declared the first place team tomorrow. However, if you wish to pop open a bottle of bubbley today on my behalf, I'd understand.

Go pick up a receiver from NE to start tonight so you can hang another L on the pride and joy of the league.

[sizemic1]

No kidding..Tofu only needs 2pts to win! :D

[ray]

my team is awesome. enough said.

[MikeD]

the pride and joy of the league.

:hihi:

[TofuNinja]

if only I didn't start David Carr ;)

[TofuNinja]

I could have picked up a NE WR and started them? If only I didn't work like 13 hours a day :(

[MikeD]

*phew*

:)

[VTGreg]

Time to pick myself up of the mat and salvage what has been a very average season thus far.

[TofuNinja]

*phew*

:)

That was a fun week bro hahahahaha beat me by two points ;) SHould have started Romo and Barber :( oh well. or just benched Carr

[sizemic1]

In case MikeD didn't notice. I'm still in first place :) Ooohh..and have already clinched a playoff spot! :D

[MikeD]

In case MikeD didn't notice. I'm still in first place :) Ooohh..and have already clinched a playoff spot! :D

You better stop worrying about Prime Time and start worrying about Cheapie's crew. Your team looks soft this week. :hehehmm:

[TofuNinja]

Is it too late for me to make the playoffs? hhahahahha

[ray]

This morning's update. MikeD gets slapped down like the Washington Redskins.

Final Score:

Ray: 122.47
Mike D: 47.09

:)

[cheapie]

crap. beat down. would be nice if branch had picked up some yards! and i really REALLY need a decent TE.

[sizemic1]

I was on vacation this weekend and had to set my roster on wednesday! Joe Horn has burned me 2 weeks in a row with 0 points. I'm currently about 1.5pts behind cheapie, but still have Del-homie to play today. If he can't get me 2 points, i'll be seriously pissed.

BTW - Good job Ray!!! :D

[MikeD]

I feel like Michael Spinks after about 30 seconds in the ring with Mike Tyson. :dead:

Props to Ray, who came to play. My boys obviously didn't show up, but it wouldn't have mattered if they did. Ray was gonna hang the "L regardless. Congrats on the win.

Long season. A lot of football left to play. See all you suuuuuuuckas again!

When I set the league up I thought I had mentioned to everyone that it was a keeper league. Yeah, that's it. My team has the "potential" to be super awesome, but um, I forgot to make us a keeper league. Yeah, that's my excuse for having a .500 team...

[MikeD]

Hey your boys are starting Campbell next week! I guess Gibbs saw the example set by a real coach, and decided to go with the backup. :hihi:

Maybe Gibbs will go watch Waterboy this week and decide to put that guy on defense.

Putting Campbell in is the best move he's made this year. Even if the kid goes 0-7 the rest of the way, at least you know what you have going into camp next season. With Brunell, you knew you weren't going anywhere.

Which segues back into FFL. Just like Brunell, Sizemic isn't going anywhere. Tomlinson can't score 4 TD's a week forever...and when he stops, so do the wins. :hehehmm:

You're just jealous because Shaun Alexander has been a bust all season long :D

Now that i'm in SOLE possession of first place, I don't think I need to justify my players. I think the standings speak for themselves.

Oh and by the way Mike, congrats on the lowest score of season! :wavey2:

[TofuNinja]

Man I wanted to score the lowest this season.....

[MikeD]

You're just jealous because Shaun Alexander has been a bust all season long :D

Hey, that's my first round pick. And I'm still breathing down your neck. What's that say about your squad?


Now that i'm in SOLE possession of first place, I don't think I need to justify my players. I think the standings speak for themselves.

Just giving you hope, baby...just giving you hope. Don't want to see a grown man cry when the smackdown comes, but BOOM! I know you fear Prime Time. :hehehmm:

Don't let it keep you up at night. I'll give you a fighting chance when we play again. I promise. :D

[ray]

congrats on the lowest score of season! :wavey2:

and I thought I would own that title this year. my team isn't very good. i've just gotten lucky.

[TofuNinja]

My team is horrid. Cheapie is going to spank me this week :)

[sizemic1]

Tomlinson can't score 4 TD's a week forever...

You were saying? :wavey2:

[TofuNinja]

hahahaha

My short yard RB scored two :) and my TE got knocked out with an ankle sprain :(

[MikeD]

You were saying? :wavey2:

I repeat: he won't keep up the pace. You know it, I know it...we all know it. :wavey2:

[cheapie]

gee. it's a good thing i didn't start joseph adai. (sp?)

170ish and 4 TDs! %^&$ me!!!!!!!!!!

[TofuNinja]

LOL

I'll give you Eli Manning for him hahahahaha

[MikeD]

gee. it's a good thing i didn't start joseph adai. (sp?)

170ish and 4 TDs! %^&$ me!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't you pick him up as a free agent? Niiiice...

Ehh, the lineup thing...that's the PITA part about FF. Never know who to start. I wouldn't have expected him to blow up like that, either. :shrug:

[guiseppewv]

I repeat: he won't keep up the pace. You know it, I know it...we all know it. :wavey2:

With the ease that he gets them every game he will stop....at the end of the playoffs. :P

[MikeD]

With the ease that he gets them every game he will stop....at the end of the playoffs. :P

:heh:

He was down to 3 yesterday!

That guy is amazing. I remember the "concerns" expressed about him when he came out of TCU, but he is an absolute beast. Single handedly has carried that team at points this season.

[sizemic1]

That guy is amazing.

And you know this!! :D

[TofuNinja]

Romo is saving my team :)

[ray]

do i have the lowest score of the season now?

[sizemic1]

do i have the lowest score of the season now?

Yes Ray, i think you've surplanted MikeD's lowest point total record with your whopping 38.94 points for the week. hehe

Conversely, i think my 141 points this week must be near the top for the most weekly points :cheers:

[TofuNinja]

I think my 126 is a personal record for me....

[VTGreg]

Close, but no cigar. Earlier this season I lost by 50 or 60 points and I scored over 100. I think it was against MikeD.

Indeed, it was (http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/339272/matchup?mid1=2&mid2=4&week=4).

My boys are limping down the homestretch, but it's a whole new season once the playoffs start. Some teams, ahem, are a single injury away from having their season go up in smoke. :hehehmm:

[TofuNinja]

Tell me about your Cowboys better protect Romo ;)

[TofuNinja]

Good Gawd! I just noticed that I am 5th in total points but last in win lose :(

[MikeD]

Tell me about your Cowboys better protect Romo ;)

Touche. Good one. :)

[sizemic1]

I think this is going to be your week Tofu.
I have a feeling the S_J's are going to have a let down when they see they're playing the last place team. Like what the Chargers almost did against the Raiders :(

[TofuNinja]

I have too many QB's..... Romo is starting fo show. But I have no idea who the second will be..... I think Dallas will eat Eli so he's out... Not sure if Carr and carve up the Raiders... than there is Lienart and Lossman (is he even starting) so that's tough... if it's not Eli then perhaps Carr is the best bet after... sheesh.... I just hope my TE gets back.

Romo is a beast. Great pickup by you, I wish I had grabbed him. I could sure use him now.

So drop one. I'm in need of a QB. :)

[MikeD]

:stupid:

Romo, please. And PM me right before you do it. Thanks.

[VTGreg]

:stupid:

Romo, please. And PM me right before you do it. Thanks.

I've got you beat in wavier position, but nice try!

[TofuNinja]

arghh! SHould have started Bush (who knew he'd run wild) and Manning... not Carr and Gore sheesh :(

[sizemic1]

arghh! SHould have started Bush (who knew he'd run wild) and Manning... not Carr and Gore sheesh :(

awwwwww... :( hehe
If it's any consolation, I left 20pts on the bench myself with Dillon.

[VTGreg]

awwwwww... :( hehe

That's child's play. I had the Bears defense on the bench and they put up 40 points.

It's pretty sad when your defense is your highest scorer for the season.

[sizemic1]

40 points is crazy for ANY position. Why did you bench one of the top three defenses?

[cheapie]

no kidding. but i guess i'm glad ray didn't play ANY defense this week. :heh: first time i'll win with 50ish points. :wavey:

[MikeD]

Now the true season starts. Hope you girls are ready for some real football. GAME TIME! :hehehmm:

[TofuNinja]

LOL what real season... I don't get to play in the post season unless I am playing for the right NOT to be in last place hahaha

[sizemic1]

Now the true season starts. Hope you girls are ready for some real football. GAME TIME! :hehehmm:

Doce y Uno baby! :cheers:

[sizemic1]

Oh and Cheapie...Rex has been a great pick up for you eh? ;) hehe
6 of 19 for 34yds and 3 ints?! How in the hell is that even possible!

He did worse than David Carr's 7 of 14 for 32yds!

[VTGreg]

40 points is crazy for ANY position. Why did you bench one of the top three defenses?

No worries, I have a better 1st round matchup now.

[TofuNinja]

sigh well my season is over.....what a waste of Romo

[sizemic1]

Week one of the playoffs and one of my starting QB's is likely out. Granted, it's Delhomme hasn't exactly been lighting it up this year, but my back up is Trent Green (who isn't bad) going up against Baltimore's D. :|

[TofuNinja]

Like I said, what a waste of my QBs ;)

[MikeD]

Doce y Uno baby!

:heh:

You were saying? We're all 0-0 now...

[TofuNinja]

Well those of your who are still playing unlike me :( I'm still 1 and 11 or something gawd aweful like that

[sizemic1]

Damn...Ray's team beat some ASS today. The SJ's have gone out with a whimper, following in the footsteps of Jenny. :(

[ray]

i beat you? wtf.

i didn't pay for the stattracker, so i don't see the updates yet :(

[sizemic1]

Yup, your guys put their A game together yesterday.
My QB's were a huge let down this week. Pretty bad when 2 QB's can't even muster 6 points COMBINED. I knew Mike Vick would end up letting me down at some point. Trent Green was a last minute injury fill player.

[VTGreg]

Looks like my plan may have backfired. I go from having an easy victory over the 6 seed to needing a solid game from the Bears D tonight to advance. Who could have predicted Brees was going to throw for a few miles and 5 TDs against the Cowboys.

[TofuNinja]

For all of those who got knocked out of the playoffs, welcome to my sideline party ;)

[VTGreg]

Devin Hester and the Bears D saved me again last night. It's tough when you have the second highest score for the week and lose. It's even worse when it happens in the playoffs.

Hopefully Ray can't catch lightning in a bottle for a second week in a row.

[MikeD]

Damn...Ray's team beat some ASS today. The SJ's have gone out with a whimper, following in the footsteps of Jenny. :(

Hey bro, nice year you put together. Damn near ran the table during the regular season. Congrats to you...and good to see the smack talk as well. Made everything that much more enjoyable. :thumb:

[VTGreg]

Let's make this a VT superbowl.

[sizemic1]

For all of those who got knocked out of the playoffs, welcome to my sideline party ;)

Oh i'm not out yet! I'm playing for 5th place baby! :P

And Mike, good luck in your bid to truly become Primetime :)
I was kind of hoping it would come down to you and I.

Kind of bums me out to go out like that. I would much rather lose in a close neck-in-neck game, than one in which I could've benched half of my team and it wouldn't have made much of a difference.

[TofuNinja]

Good luck to all :) I just wish I had more time to switch in and out and KNEW who to start, that was the trouble of my season...I'd start the wrong people left and right... kept Bush in there too long, than benched him and he'd explode... sigh NExt year, the Jobbers will be Champions ;)

[sizemic1]

I'm number 5! I'm number 5! I'm number 5!
:rolleyes:

[MikeD]

TO: G/A FFL

FR: Deion Sanders, Chief Consultant for Prime Time

Put in a call to Marvin on Monday morning. Told him Prime Time needed some extra juice Monday night, at least 3 TD's. A gang of yards, too. Also talked to my main man Freeney. Told him to come through with some sacks, maybe a few forced fumbles. It's playoff times...big game! Big Timers come through in times like these. Glad to see my boys are Big Timers.

Sincerely...

[sizemic1]

Bah! I still would've beat you with 4 players tied behind my back! Congrats on a nice win though. It's always nice to pull one out on a Monday night :)

[MikeD]

Let's make this a VT superbowl.

Done.

How 'bout them Hokies? Booyeah...

[guiseppewv]

I thought you were going to pull a typical Chokie move...and lose a big game. I cannot believe that not only did your 2 players that had to score major points pull it off but then Carson Palmer....who only needed like 5 or 6 points....choked and freakin' fumbled the ball 18 times.

[MikeD]

If you only knew how much I love your post. :hihi:

I wanted to make a Slaton / WVU @ UL / fumble comment here, but decided not to. Wait...ehh, sorry about that.

And I wanted to insert a Steelers comment here too, especially since your boy Toothlessberger saved my QB situation this year. But I can't trash talk a bad team when they're down. Wait...ehh, sorry about that too. ;)

Good game. I was resigned to the loss, couldn't believe my guys pulled it out. This has been a fun season.

It has been a fairly fun season. I look forward to next season. :)

As far as Slaton is concerned even with 1 arm (which is all he has been able to use for the entire season) he is still better than 99.9% of the RBs out there and waaaaaaaaay better than anyone the chokies have had on the field this season or last. He only fumbled against the ville b/c he hurt the one good arm he has. After the season is over he has to have surgery on his injured arm. Talk about tough as nails.

In VT's scheme, I will take a healthy Brandon Ore over Steve Slaton any day of the week.

Slaton is a great back for the spread offense.

Excuses, excuses. Woulda, shoulda, coulda, but ya didn't. Sounds like a little sour grapes to me. ......had to give you a hard time now that someone got your goat!!!!

:hihi:

Good luck today VTG. You put together a good year. At least one thing is for certain: a Hokie will be champion. No big surprise there, though. :hihi:

Even a blind squirrel gets a nut every once in a while!!! :P As far as VT is concerned - I guess they gotta win something this year. :P

All kidding aside - I had a great time this year playing in the league. I look forward to next season!!!

[MikeD]

Great year, guys. Really enjoyed it, especially the smack talk. Made things enjoyable.

Hope to see everyone next year. I plan on rolling through you girls with a perfect 16-0 season. Bank it! :hehehmm:

[TofuNinja]

Bank on the jobbers winning more games next year.....Oh it's true, it's damn true ;) great year peeps
