GWJFL 2005: Week 9

Highlander, I will hopefully be taking ownership of the Panthers later today. Would you be available tonight or tomorrow evening to get our game in? I am available any time after 6:30 PM. I am going to be signing up my Live trial account when I get off work at 6 PM EST and will post my gamertag info here then. Also, I have not yet purchased a headset (buying one on Friday) so I''m going to be without voice chat.

I usually play online after 9 p.m. central time. Fletcher1138 and I have a rematch of our laggy game last night scheduled for this evening, hopefully right around 9 central.

So if you want, we can try to play after that (around 10 central). Otherwise we coudl play Tuesday night. (I''d miss Tuesday Night Links again but it would give Mr. Green a chance to FINALLY win some skins. )

Ok Highlander, I''ll be ready to play tonight at 11PM EST / 10PM CST after the rematch. I""ll update this post once I get my Live setup done.

Update - Finally signed up for Live. I am using the handle LockNLoad1.

I am looking forward to being decimated every week by you guys on the scoreboard.

We''re trying to get LL into the league but if it doesn''t happen, just play the game outside the league and let me know who won. As I mentioned in another thread, stats are hosed anyway.

Great game Highlander! Geez, I really need to get some practice in as quickly as possible.

Anytime you want to practice, say the word man. I''m getting to know the Giants a teensy bit better, but I still need to get in some more games with them. Spynavy has trounced me both times I''ve played against him with them.

Must.. Get... BETTER.

That was a fun game, LL. I was a ble to get the ball to some open receivers a few times. My defense seemed to be just plowing through the Panthers O-line. But you should get a headset of some kind. It does make the games a lot more fun.

Well, guys, I can officially claim my first GWJFL win.

Psycho and I played last night (Lions vs. Browns) with a final score of 31-14 (I think).

In all honesty, my team did NOT play like the Lions. Schlesinger barrelled his way through the middle for probably 50 yards, Jones had 3 carries for over 100 yards (after a 75 yard run... thank you Psycho for picking that exact moment to control that exactOLB and pull him down toward the line) and Tai Streets caught for something over 200 yards, including 70 or so YAC.

Psycho put up a valiant effort (including capitalizing on the moments where I DID play like the Lions, such as my 4 interceptions, or the fumble on Psycho''s very first punt which resulted in a touchdown) but the teams just weren''t matched (for some reason).

It was all good, though, because we had voice, and could laugh about it. All in all, a very good time.

Neo and I are going to -ahem- attempt to play tonight. We''ll see what my xbox has to say about that.

Pulling for you Bags. This the new X-Box? Remember to turn off your wireless network''s security whatzit thingie.

Warlock played a good game. I did not. Now ... I cry.

It most certainly is not. I''ve checked 2 EBGames, 2 Targets, 2 Wal-Marts, Best Buy, Circuit City, and Toys R Us. No xboxen ANYWHERE. Apparently Microsoft decided to stop making them and not tell anybody. I''m not amused.

Bagga, not sure if your in the Ohio area but there is a Circuit City in Canton, Ohio that had 3 consoles in stock yesterday.

Thanks for the tip, but that''s a little far from Virginia

I''m going to call a couple places today, as they said they get shipments on tuesdays. We''ll see, heh.

Neither were you by my spamming your ESPN Messaging wth song lyrics. No, I wasn''t drunk, but yes, I was bored, and I was trying to bug you into quitting the game you were playing and accept my challenge. Which you didn''t. Because you are intimidated by my playing skill or my singing. It matters not which one.

Ahh, I tend to ignore the ESPN messaging these days because it gives me the little ""new message"" icon even when I don''t have new messages. I swear, the ESPN games service has gone to crap. But I was indeed amused with your messages, they evoked a hearty chuckle.

Bagga,

Ummm....well....you could just give me a win and call it a night.

Are you switching over to the league notifications screen? That''s probably what it''s telling you about.

Yeah, I am. No new messages in either spot.

In other news, the EBGames just got some xboxen in stock. *Road Runner voice*Meep Meep! zoooooommmmmm

Pick up a copy of GR 2 while you are there!

Edit: And baseball!!!

I have baseball already, chuckles. If GR2 is cheap enough, I may just have to pick it up.

Is ESPN Videogames down? I can connect to X-Box Live but it''s not letting me connect to that.

Cool. It''s been so long since we played CS:Source I''ve almost forgotten what it feels like to shoot you in the face.

I could always use more shooting you in the face with high powered rifles and submachine guns. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Oh, I do so love to be shot!

So, I can''t sign in to ESPN games now either, and I''m supposed to play a match. Anyone else have this problem?

s ESPN Videogames down? I can connect to X-Box Live but it''s not letting me connect to that.

Logan looks like it is down to me as well. Not sure what we can do about it...

NeoStyx can''t log on either. My god man, are we going to have to start a *Madden* league? pukes over chair''s arm

Stric, we''ll try again tomorrow, bud, same time. It''s probably a blessing in disguise - I just got the second half of my root canal finished today and I''m pretty damn sore.

Well, Bagga and I finnally logged in to the ESPN Network.....but after two First Q disconnects Bagga decided to throw in the towel...and I can''t say I blame him.

We essentailly had two 7-0 games going...one for him and one for me.

Do what ever you need to do Grump...we did everything we could play.

Given that the servers apparently had issues tonight, both leagues are extended one more day due to technical issues beyond our control. Let me know if anyone needs a reset.

Logan waited for about 40 minutes didn''t see you on.
