APF2k8 - Legends League S1 - Week 7

Down the home stretch. Finally to week 7. GO!!!

Also, these last two weeks should be interesting. We have 3 teams locked into the playoffs. Two teams who can wrap it up this weekend, I believe. And 4 teams duking it out for the final 3 spots. Good luck, everyone. Bumpie, I'm home sick today. I can play all day. Otherwise later in the week after 6 PST.

(Post from other thread...) But in case I'm late to that, it appears Slumberland is my next opponent. I'm good usually on weekends. Early, rather then late. Weekday's can be iffy for I'm usually not on, if at all, till 1930 PDT or so. But if you give me a date and time, I'll let you know if I can make it. But again, Weekend morning from 7-11am PDT is best. Go easy!:>)(and I'm vying for the critical next to last place...
GO Pharoahs!:>)

What comes around goes around. I was on the good side of 3 picks last week and karma (aka DSgamer) took 3 from me this week. Nice game DS, good luck in your last game next week.

On an aside, I just wanted to mention that in the first 7 games of this league, I've had some close games and some one sided games in my favor and not in my favor. In all those games though, I had a lot of fun and Im glad everyone in the league is up on sportsmanship and having a good time playing/chatting during the games. Im looking forward to league 2.0

Hey there, Donan. Saturday morning is probably my best shot this weekend... anywhere from 8 to 10am your time?

Thin J, it looks like our oppositely-aligned records are up this week. Here's to trying to go to 2-5 versus your 5-2!

I'm available most late evenings (>10 pm eastern) over the next few days. Let me know when you think you could play.

Hey Pred! Looks like we are on for this week. What kind of times are good for you? I'm currently working overnights until Sunday morning. I'm then off work until Wednesday afternoon. From that point on, evenings are out for me, but mornings and late nights will be ok. Until Saturday, any time during the day or evening is fine, I just need to know ahead of time.

Thanks. Sorry for the rough luck with the picks. That's my D, though. I was just looking at the stats. My reject no-name QB has clawed his way into the MVP hunt (assuming they give one out), at least in terms of stats, QB rating, etc. But more important in your case, the top three players in terms of picks are all from my team. It's the Stickem or something. I don't know.

Indeed. I can't wait to play next week and then I can't wait to play next season. Before this season started Donan and I had what almost amounted to a ritual of getting online at roughly the same time and deciding to play a game of baseball against each other. MLB 2k7. That was some of the most fun I've had gaming in years. Just chatting away. So it's indeed my favorite part of this league that everyone seems to be a good sport. Everyone likes to chat. It's very friendly and I hope we can keep the participation high for next season. I know part of the reason I complain when games take too long is because I look forward to this every week.

I should be able to do tonight if that works. You'll have to say something on live to pull me away from the evil Halo3/PGR4 combo, but I'll probably be online for the asking one way or the other

And on the first part.. if my defense plays this week the way it did last week you won't have much of a problem

Grumpicus when do you want to play. I free just about every night just let me know when.

Pretty much any night after 9:30 C works for me.

How does around 7:00 PM Sunday night sound?

Hate hate hate my team.

Great game firesloth, right down to the freakin wire. Even if I hadn't given up the TD I'm pretty sure you had the FG easy.

Thanks, that was a fun game from my side of things...nice and intense at the end. I hate Otis Anderson.

I was leading most of the game. Thin scored a quick TD on the opening drive of the game, but I ran the kick off back...then took the lead bit by bit. I also managed an INT for a TD. Thin, however, used Otis Anderson to get TDs on two very long runs. Ray Berry helped him out on some nice long catches on route to a TD.

The last of Anderson's runs put Thin up, 28-27 with about 30 sec to go. But, I got a good kick return and had a few good catches, a screen pass that worked well, etc. With about 12 sec left and the ball on his 32 yard line, I thought I'd take a chance on a TD rather than run it up the gut for a few more yards before the FG. Dwight Clark got open on a post pattern from the slot for the game winning TD.

Thanks for the great game, Thin! Yeah, 2-5!!

Gumbie, let me know when it's good for you to play, I'm actually going to come online now looking for you.

Sounds good! See you then!

All the "player hating"... Sorry.

Seriously, though, it will be fun to get a fresh start at this again in a few weeks. I'm sure we've all learned things. I know my team won't look too different, but there will be changes for sure.

Frankie, when do you want to demolish me? My schedule's pretty open. I'd rather not lose my slot during gears and beers, but any other time works for me in the next few days.

I actually spent last night creating my new team. The New Jersey Knights will make their debut next season. It's sad that I'm trying to re-live my youth as a high school WR, playing for the purple and black Old Bridge Knights. Looking forward to a fresh start next season.

Also, Bean and I have a friend who is interested in playing next season, if we're looking to open up the league, or if we lose current members. I hope not, it's been fun playing against everyone...................except Bagga, I want that coin inspected, I think it was Heads you win, Tails I lose, lol

I pulled a Bill Bellichek in Week 6, my advantage was a 62", HD flat panel TV. After tonight, I go back to a 27" flat screen TV that clips off parts of the screen.

It takes serious talent to be a 4-2 team when my points scored are 87 and my points against are 101.

I was filming your sidelines while Bean was playing you, I was stealing your signals. Actually, I was just watching your cheerleaders.....................

Great. Let's make it 8am. See ya on the field.

Slumberland:
This might be alittle late, but I have to help my wife in the morning with something, so 10am looks the better time if you can still do that. If not, or I don't see you respond to this post, I'll be there at 8am as I originally agreed to.

Hm... that should be okay. I'll post here if there's any problem tomorrow, otherwise I'll hop on at 1pm my time.

Hey, if it's a problem at all, we can just do 8am as planned. (matter of fact, seeing how you are unsure about later, let's just stay with the 8am and get it done. Let me know)

The earlier time is a bit better for me, as I can get it out of the way and then spend some much needed time with my other signifcado the rest of the day wihout interruption. If it's a not too much of an inconvenience for you, that is.

O.k. Sounds good. Let's keep it at 8am PDT. See ya there.

baggachipz, I will be around all weekend, I tied to add you on my friends list, but it won't go through is your friends list full. I will be on all night Saturday, after 6 as the Wife will be out let me know what works for you.

Yeah, my list is full.

*edit* Actually, 6 (as I originally proposed) would be bad. Will you be on all night? I'll see if I can clear out a slot in my friends list to add you and we can play it by ear tonight.

Kush

I'll be around tonight, name a time that's good for you and I'll probably be able to make it.

Hey Gumbie, I was not available this weekend, sorry. About 90% of my weekend was spent playing Texas Holdem and Craps. However, I am completely free all night tonight, nothing going on otherwise.
