[smashbro14]

Just so you guys know: You can change your starters as long as you don't do anything with a player who has already played (or started playing.) For example, if you didn't start Hines Ward, but he has an outstanding game tomorrow, it's too late to change him; however, you'd be able to substitute someone like Donovan McNabb in as long as his game hasn't started. It's pretty straightforward, but I felt the need to clarify this.

Unless Sonic states otherwise, his starters are as follows:

QB
Brett Favre - Packers

RB
Edgerrin James - Cardinals
DeShaun Foster - Panthers

WR
Randy Moss - Raiders
Javon Walker - Broncos

TE
Dallas Clark - Colts

DL
Dwight Freeney - Colts
Trevor Price - Ravens

LB
London Fletcher - Bills
A.J. Hawk - Packers

Champ Bailey - Broncos
DeAngelo Hall - Falcons

K
Billy Kundiff - Packers

Util
Kellen Winslow Jr. (Offense) - Browns
Al Harris (Defense) - Packers

[XZ]

Hmm...Since we don't exactly have a discussion thread..I figured I post in here.
Do we still get points, from our bench players?:D (Just Incase Portis does start..)

[BigDaddy]

QB
Daunte Culpepper - MIA

RB
Willie Parker - PIT
LaMont Jordan - OAK

WR
Steve Smith (he better start... *shakes fist*) - CAR
Terry Glenn - DAL

TE
Randy McMichael - MIA

DL
Javon Kearse - PHI
Charles Grant - NO

LB
Donnie Edwards - SD
James Farrior - PIT

Utility

... that would take the whole purpose of this thread away. Of course bench players don't count!

Also:
In here you can see who you play this week, post your starters, discuss any happenning in the world of Fantasy Football, and of course talk to trash to everyone else in the league
So this IS the discussion thread.

[XZ]

Don't get fresh with me.

Also, Lets say Chester Taylor (My RB)'s game ends. Can I promptly switch him after it, for Portis..who's game hasn't started yet?

[smashbro14]

*Uses breath spray*

... okay that was really bad.

Nope. You can't do anything with a player who has begun (or finished) playing their game. That's part of what makes fantasy football exciting. :)

[James89]

Have you ever played before XZ? You cant take out a player cause he did bad and put one in cause he did good.

[BigDaddy]

Everything is going wrong in tonight's game. I knew I should have taken Joey Porter instead of James Farrior... oh well, this is just one game. On the bright side, Willie Parker got over 100 yards. Unfortunately, he hasn't scored any touchdowns.

[Gabby Jay]

How about Ronnie Brown? 60 all purpose yards and two TDs. It's a meh game, but good to me, seeing as he's goin up against a tough steeler defense.

Willie Parker looks pretty good. I doubt he will score a TD this week though. He's chewing up yards good. If they would've accepted Saban's challenge, I bet he would have one though.

[BigDaddy]

If they would've accepted Saban's challenge, I bet he would have one though.
Exactly. Just about everything went wrong for me tonight. Culpepper gets down near the end of the game and needs to throw. Good, I can get points. But no, he throws two straight interceptions. Now watch Eli Manning (my other quarterback) light up the Colts Sunday night.

[James89]

The Dolphins disappointed me. I picked them in my weekly football pool. I was feeling good about it when they were up 17-14. Then, the D kept pissing me off. The CB that got called on the hands to the face, then the penalty on the play after. And then the stupid Refs didnt see the flag. WTF is up with that? "O we dont see it do it dont count." What kind of BS is that? Thats what really pisses me off. Stupid Refs.

EDIT: At least I got Porter in the Yahoo league I am in with my uncle. He got my 12.5 points, so there was some good in the Steelers winning.

[smashbro14]

Zach Thomas got me (I think) 17 points, and Kevin Carter was solid, but damn. I can't believe I didn't start Porter. 2 sacks and an interception return for a touchdown?! Eh, I always mess up the first week.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I love how many people have been jumping off the Dolphins bandwagon already. Having never been close to it, it makes me smile. Willie Parker looks strong, though. And since I am against BigDaddy this week, I'm so glad that Culpepper threw those INTs.

[Gabby Jay]

Well I got to say...I just remembered I got Heath Miller! That game couldn't of gone any better. I got to say I'm sorry XZ, but it looks like your going to lose this week to me.

[XZ]

Well I got to say...I just remembered I got Heath Miller! That game couldn't of gone any better. I got to say I'm sorry XZ, but it looks like your going to lose this week to me.
...You're getting like 15 points or so out of heath miller..big deal.
Personally, I am hoping Chester Taylor has a big game against the skins, because he's due...and..to spite smashbro. (Hmm...Portis is too be 100% for game 2, Perfecto)

Also, I have polamalu. Now..compare our defenses plz, O M Gawd!

Your forgetting the 18 points from Ronnie Brown too though. I expect Philip Rivers to have an outstanding game on Monday too (but the Raiders are ultimately gonna win that game)

Lets hope the Raiders win..:)
Hmm..Polamalu got me like 20 points.

[Gabby Jay]

Well we both know that Kirk Morrison is going to have like 15 tackles, and Burgess will get a few sacks. I mean, they are Raiders right?

[XZ]

You know, just for this game. I hope morrison and burgess don't have big games.
Instead..uhh..Brayton,Sapp and other guys have big games. :D

[Freakish]

God this is gonna be fun. A Chargers fan and two Raider fans in the same league. And their combined IQ still is nowhere near that of the lowest Charger fans. Keep dreaming about that Raider victory, thats the only way your gonna see one

[XZ]

Oh please. The whole "Raider Fans are Dumb..duhhhh" arguement.
But yeah, Honestly speaking..with Brooks at the helm, I don't see the Raiders winning a lot this year. Thank god Shell likes to run it..less chance if Brooks getting the ball.
Just start Walter damnit. Let him just get in there.

[James89]

Yea, the sooner Walker gets in there, the sooner you guys can decide to take Brady Quinn in the draft.

Two Raiders fans, a Chargers fan, and a (me) 49ers fan. Its even better that the Niners play both in SF. Should be a whole bunch of fun. California FTW.

[BigDaddy]

Thank god Shell likes to run it..less chance if Brooks getting the ball.
Yeah, but Brooks still has to successfully take the snap and hand it off. :D

Steve Smith didn't practice again Friday, and he's a game time decision for Sunday. I don't want to take a chance on him, so for now I would like to start Lee Evans instead of Steve Smith.

My starting wide receivers for Week 1:
Terry Glenn - DAL
Lee Evans - BUF
Andre Johnson (Utility) - HOU

[smashbro14]

I don't know where James has been, but here are the current scores after the Thursday night game in case anyone wanted to see how many points their players put up.

The Velociraptors (0) vs. PICK A TEAM NAME ALREADY (0)
The Troopers (41) vs. The Laughing Mules (0)
Sexy Mother F’ers (0) vs. Deja Entendu (0)
The Hard Hittaz (45) vs. Wildboyz (40)
The Smashbr-Owners (24) vs. Hot Dice (0)
Doom (6) vs. The Purple $corpions (0)

Hehe, Raiders fans.

I'm normally only going to be doing six people a week, with James doing the other 6, but I was just putting in the stats for my people from Thursday night's game and I thought I'd mine as well just do the other 6 because James wasn't on.

EDIT: I also want to clarify something. Unless James doesn't want to, we'll allow transactions to be made while a "week" is going on, but they will only come into effect when the final game ends. I'll edit this into the first post of the Rosters/Transactions thread if James tells me he's okay with this.

[James89]

DROP: Trash Simms

ADD: Master Pennington

Damn, wrong thread.

[Dr. Doom]

Donte Stallworth!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yessssssssssssssss!!!! who has the best receivers now!!!

[BigDaddy]

And the clouds opened up, and God said, "I hate you, Kansas City."

[Scruffy]

Man... Nate Burleson + Joey Galloway + Shaun Alexander = invincible.

[Dr. Doom]

yeah, because shaun alexander looked so invincible vs. THE LIONS!!!!!! take that

[James89]

Alexander looked like crap, and the 49ers played it close with Alex Smith doing great. Pretty good weekend. O and this week I did myslef, Gabby, Freakish, Velo, XZ, and Pontus' points. So if any of those people wanna know where they stand right now, let me know.

Freakish, im beating you by 44. You still have Osi, Gibril Wilson, and Antonio Pierce left. Mcnabb is the Man!

[smashbro14]

Yeah, Joey Galloway's 0 points are pretty astounding.

[Dr. Doom]

now that I think of it... burleson sucked ass too

[The Eye in the Sky!]

And the clouds opened up, and God said, "I hate you, Kansas City."

Hahahaha, I was thinking the exact same thing today.

[smashbro14]

I'm beating Yue 114-91. He has Wiggins, Wayne, Bob Sanders, and Waheem Brock and I have Harrison, Cooley, Merriman, and Marcus Washington.

...

:D

[Scruffy]

now that I think of it... burleson sucked ass too

I was being sarcastic...

[Dr. Doom]

can't tell on the internet... :rolleyes: = sarcasm

[James89]

Where are all of these black names coming from?

[Velocity]

The GW Assassin game, James. ;) Read the announcements much? :P

Oh, btw... Trent Green ftl.

[Scruffy]

can't tell on the internet... :rolleyes: = sarcasm

You didn't find it odd that I picked those 3 guys from my team after they performed @ the peak?

[Freakish]

I think its gona be a miracle if I get 50 points this week. My ****ing offense got nothing. Horn had one pass thrown to him all game (Brees is gonna suck balls this year, so if anyone wants Horn, he's up), Caddy got stuffed by the Ravens. Just awful

[James89]

Injury report said Mike Peterson wouldnt play. Stupid injury report. Ill have our final score in a lil bit Freakish.

Final score for me and Freakish.

Me- 153

Freakish- 135

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I wish I knew what my score was... Brady had an ugly game.

[Gabby Jay]

Let's see here....

XZ still has:

RB
Chester Taylor - MIN
K
Sebastian Janikowski - OAK

I still got:
QB
1) Philip Rivers - Chargers
DL
1) Derrick Burgess - Raiders
LB
2) Kirk Morrison - Raiders


D'oh I don't know the score right now, but if it is close I got a feeling I have a dub-u-yah this week.

[James89]

Gabby- 147.

XZ-162

Pretty close one. I think Gabby will come through with the win.

[Pontus]

Hey James, how am I doing against those Velociraptors?

[Velocity]

You've gotta be winning. Trent Green went down and he did jack sh*t.

[James89]

Velo-161

Pontus-169

Tony Gonzalex had a big game, as did mostly all of your guys' players.

Pontus has Fred Smoot, Nate Keading, and Sean Taylor. Velo has T.J. Duckett. Looks like Pontis will win.

[Dr. Doom]

crap... didn't even realize one of my LB's was injured and didn't play. What's my score at?

so, smashbro, you a redskins fan?... howabout that monday night game. take that!

[Pontus]

Man, I can't believe he missed...

I'm a ravens fan, though.

[James89]

Doom I didnt do your points, smash did. So I cant give you a score.

[smashbro14]

I'll have the scores of the games I have been keeping track of later this afternoon.

stfu Doom.

[Dr. Doom]

Congrats to XZ for scoring the most this week with 183 points. Yue was the low man with 119. BTW, no more posting in this thread. Im making a week 2 thread right now.

[Dr. Doom]

181 without one of my starters... and if I would've started stallworth and warner... :bashhead: what could have been... ...plus: the vikings beat the redskins, and the twins keep on winning... what a day

[Rick52]

~Closed~

Discussion about stuff can continue in the Week 2 thread, as James suggested.
