GWJFL Summer Week 4

sh*t. I broke him.

Good game to ya Mr. Certis. Perhaps next time I can avoid throwing the ball so indiscriminately

But definitely a good close game. The Eagles defense is really saving my rear and keeping me in the game.

Definitely a better experience for me than the Colts, though they did have their moments.

Yeah, despite three interceptions you kept the game within one TD and threatened right down to the closing seconds. Good game homie!

It's nothing against you, Legion (or Certis or any of the other guys I've played so far). You're just WAY better than I am, and I honestly don't have the time or, mostly, the desire, to get better, and I'm REALLY not having fun playing.

I hear you Warlock, I felt much the same way about Baseball... although my beef was mainly with the game itself making me a sad panda. If you're not having fun, there's no reason to slog through it.

Glad we got our game in though, I always enjoy out special time together

sh*t. I broke him.

55 - 0? Yeah, you're a jerk alright. Jerk.

Hey now, I only take responsibility for about 30 of those points.

In the 3rd and 4th quarters, he went for 5 4th downs deep in his territory, and failed all 5. I kept getting the ball on his 30 yard line, running the ball every play to keep the clock moving, and I'd run out of field after a couple plays.

If he had punted the ball 5 times instead of going for 5 4th downs, the score wouldn't have been anywhere near 55. And if I had wanted to be mean, it would've gone far beyond 55.

Legion, I think you're a jerk for all sorts of reasons, only some of them are due to your thrashing of Warlock

Well OK. I can appreciate that.

Like I said, not pissed at Legion. The first half I played to my best, and it was STILL 31-0.

So yeah, I started pushing it. I seriously couldn't even get a first down off the guy, so what good would 5 more 3 and out and punts been? I think I had 2 first downs the whole game, whereas Legion could just merrily trounce down the field when he had the ball.

Just frustrating that I'm not better, and frustrating that I can't have fun in spite of being bad. However, since neither of those things are true, it's time to hang up NFL 2K5.

I generally try to supress my more competitive side when I hop on 2k5, but I know for some people that's really hard. I'm not overly into the game, and it does still get frustrating to me sometimes.

I can totally see where you're coming from.

But hey, if you ever want to play some games for fun on it without the whole league thing attached, find me on Xfire. We can pit my Bengals vs your Lions

I certainly understand Warlock - ESPN brings out the Hulk in Spy. Spy smash controller, Spy say bad words, you wont like Spy when he is angry. Most games I play competitively, but this one brings out Mr. Hyde in me :).

Sorry Fire. Couldn't get on. I might could play now if you want.

Spy also double posts.

The new web site hates me - I dont get updates sometimes when I post and many times I get the cant find the page you are looking for crap. Pyro has it in for me I know it. I think I will have to sacrifice Swampy to appease Pyro.

Jesus, what did I do?

Anyone have any suggestions on the Lions? Any buddies want to play them?

Legion, when your brother gets his connection squared away do you want them with your second account?

Neo?

I generally just like to sacrifice my good friends occasionally to appease others. Less mouths to feed at parties and such.

I was mid-swig on my Dr. Pepper when I read that and nearly spit it all over my LCD.

Logan I can wait tell Thurs or Fri to play, I'll let you know which works better later this week. I've a new gal I'm hanging out with and I'd much rather be with her then get my arse whipped by you, nothing personal.

Hmm....

Logan IM'd me, and he wrote:

You know. If you want to reach new heights of being a dick, you could take over the Lions and go undefeated the rest of the way.

That would be especially bruising.

OK. Give them to me.

Ahh true brotherly love. And excellent insight.

Redhwk check your private messages or the league trades there is a trade that can help your team

OK, assuming no one without a team wants them. Also should we wait and see if your brother gets his connection squared away before we go through all this?

Frankie, that trade counter-offer didn't do anything for you, huh?

@ Redhwk, we can work a deal for a solid backup QB plus a very good backup running back in Johnson. Check them out (Collins or Huard) and Johnson. You're deep at CB and OLBs, we can do something.

Yeah. Wednesday.

Anybody looking for a running back Tiki Barber on the Block Defensive players CB or linebackers

Hey Swamp I sent you another one check it out

Thin_J Check your private messages again

Well, Spy had his breakout game alright. I'm f*cking prescient . Yay for me.

Spy your running was unstoppable for me. You stuck to your gameplan and did great. If you can keep doing that you'll be a cinch for 2nd place.

Yeah Staley had a good game - 201 yds on the ground. The KC defense didnt do you any favors and the Steeler D was able to stay nice and fresh due to Staley hogging the ball. Big Ben only threw the ball 7 times and finally had a better than 50% completion rate (4/7). RUSHING

The game plan was definitely win the clock battle and I did that. Like I said I was so concerned given our last game of your quick strike capability that I wanted that clock definitely in my hands. The 3rd Qtr started with your kickoff to me and ended with my extra point - one drive - one qtr which like we were talking about while playing was me trying to stay away from trading touchdowns with you. As always it was great conversation and I look forward to seeing you on the College gridiron :).
