Week 1 is ready and I start off with a doozy. Highlander, tomorrow is ok for me or sometime this weekend... Let me know.

Scanning the list, man there are some good matchups in week 1. I'm looking forward to this league. Good luck.

There can be only one

Good system, don''t just post ""Let''s rock, son!"" but give some actual days and times you can play! Styx, I will be out of town tomorrow but Friday evening should be ok unless you catch me on Live tonight!

OK, OK - How about Thursday night at 8:45 PM your time (7:45 mine)?

I might be able to do earlier, but I''d have to let you know closer to game time.

BTW - Crap, I''m going to start the new season by getting my ass handed to me.

Sanjuro - I have the mid watches through the weekend - I can play 4-7pm EST any night, but thats early pacific for you - is there any day that will work for you in that timeframe? My first day off isnt until Monday... By the way when is the game deadline?

Well, I have a few ideas, but the way you manhandles me in the GWJFL3 game, I''m not too hopeful. I''ll just try to keep it interesting and we''ll see what happens from there.

On a sad note I discovered today that when I tried to play a SP game to brush up on Philly''s playbook I get a Disc is dirty or damaged error. I tried any number of things including polishing the disc, but I fear the most played game in my house has died. That being said I will pick another copy up on my way home in the AM from the Great Satan. I am crossing my fingers that it isnt the Xbox finally giving up the ghost.

You have other games you can try, just to be sure?

Yes - it appears to be the only one, and the other day it popped up in the middle of a game which was strange. That being said - I have had some disc issues from time to time with this Xbox - it is an original first generation and it may very well be going sneakers up. However the disc is a bit banged up as many times as it has been in and out of the Xbox and my son isnt known for his gentle disc handling .

Ejay, the snow and ice storm might make trouble for our game. I will try to be there as best I can, and assuming I don''t lose my connection I will make every effort to let you know if there is a problem.

Ok Styx, I replied. 7PM Pac (9PM CST) on Friday should be good for me!

I''m not 100% (since deadlines only show in the Xbox interface ), but if we started on a Wednesday and have a 5-day cycle - Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday - I think you guys should be able to play on Monday, no problem.

Is there a way for me to see who I''m playing, without being at my XBox looking at it?

You need to make sure your gamertag is linked to a Passport account.

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

Actually, they can play up until the time that you advance the schedule to the next week.

Worth it if you like checking out the league stats and whatnot.

And for Sanjuro''s yearly ""weekly update""

I think once you link your gamertag it works for all the various xbox live related sites. This includes bungie.net (for Halo 2) and xsnsports.com (for Links tournaments) in addition to the ESPN sports site.

What is actually quite cool is linking your gamertag to MSN Messenger. Then when you are sitting at your PC you can see who is logging onto X-Box live and what they are playing. You can leave you xbox on, and then if someone challenges you it will pop up on your PC vis MSN Messenger. Pretty snazzy. It gives me high hopes for more PC/LIVE integration in the X-Box 2.

EJay, I was on from about 7:35 PM my time until about 8:35 PM my time. Sorry we couldn''t hook up. I am free tomorrow night and most of the weekend. Let me know when you want to try again.

I also sent you a friend request.

Swamp I thought our game was at 8:45pm CST. It''s only 7:50pm CST now, was there a mix up? That''s cool, just give me a time and timezone for tomorrow night and I can play anytime after 4pm CST.
