APF2k8 - Legends League S2 - Week 5

Week 4 in the books. Good luck, everyone!!

Bagga, I'm available most nights.

ChrisLTG, I need to get this game in by Wednesday night or I'll be AFK until next Sunday.

I already played my game against RuthlessMuffin, and he beat me like a red-headed stepchild. He's like the New England Patriots of All Pro Football 2K8.

Grumpy,
I can play anytime tomorrow, just let me know when would be best.

I know. I fear him. We caught him stealing signals in week one and now he's "no mercy", "sweep the leg" and all that stuff.

Generally, my preferred time is after the kids go to bed - about 9:30 central. How does that work for you?

Freds Slacks...we're up! Generally I'm available during your prime TF2 killing time...i.e., after 10 pm, but variable because of kids and such. Are you around tonight (Monday)?

Well you can Thank sumberland for beating me in the playoff last season and messing up my perfect season. So i made the Offense better hints the 40 pts avg a game this season.

Sure... I'll be there

Hey, I just noticed a bright spot for my season, so far: my punter has the highest average yards per punt and is tied for second highest net yards per punt!!!! I also have the longest punt of the season so far.

So, I guess that settles it -- I need to emphasize the best aspect of my game by punting more!!

Edit: Hey, I also have the largest average kick returns, so I should put myself in a position to return more kicks.

DS, are you available tonight? If not, any night this week is good for me too.

Not tonight *probably*. My wife is leaving town for a few days tomorrow, so I want to hang out with her tonight. Tomorrow I'll be available after 9. Wednesday I should be available 7. All times PST.

Let's shoot for Wednesday, then. Since I'm playing from The Future, I'll be too tired if I try to play at 9 your time.

Just finished my game with Grumpy... almost an exact repeat of last week's game. Absolutely no offense in the first half (16 total yards)... and then some luck after the game is well out of reach. Oh well

Firesloth and I got two games in last night. First one locked up with 1:00 minute left in the first overtime tied up 21 all. The second game turned in my favor from the very start with a pick 6 in the first minute which helped me on my way to victory. Thanks for some good games last night Firesloth.

Yeah, the second game was pretty disappointing last night. I felt like I had developed a defensive strategy that worked pretty well in the first game. Plus, I didn't turn the ball over and was making some progress offensively.

Then the second game came along, and I threw one of my two INTs pretty quickly for that TD. My defense also went to shambles pretty quickly. Ugh.

Let this be a lesson -- never call for a fair catch of a punt!! That seemed to freeze both of our machines...no fun.

EDIT: Oops...let me be clear -- Playing with FredsSlacks: Fun. Machine lock-ups: Not so fun.

Frankie and I had a real barn burner last night. I looked like I was going to coast early on, as I took a 21-3 into the first half. Frankie surprised me with an onside kick to open the second half, and proceeded to score, cutting my lead to 21-10, but I responded by tossing Montana's third TD to Ricky danders, who was huge for me.

But Franikie wasn't done, as unitas starting hitting Drew Pearson left and right, as he closed the gap to 28-25 on a TD pass to Pearson. But Ricky Sanders, having the superhuman day he was, ran back the ensuing kickoff to take the win out of the Sharks sails. Still, Frnakie came back and score another TD at just about the 2 minute mark of the 4th quarter, making 35-32. I picked up the oinside kick this time, and I as I running the clock out, Okoye got loose for a 29 yard TD with 42 seconds left, allowing me to finally breate easy. Frannie nearly scored again as time ran out with the Sharks at my five yard line.

Ronnie Lott saved my bacon with two INTs.

I have a hell of a schedule through the end of the season, with games coming up against DS and Ruthless, before finishing the season agaisnt ChrisLTD. So with one loss, I really control my destiny, but it will be a tall order for sure.

...aaaaaand I'm an idiot. I got tickets to a bobcats game and went (20 feet from Mark Cuban!) and forgot about our game. How's tonight look?

Tonight will probably work.

Are we on for tonight, bagga? I can play in the next 30 minutes if you're available?

Le Sigh. I think it's time for me to start keeping a personal calendar. If you're able to play this weekend, I can play. If not, the win is totally yours. Sorry to be like this.

I can play this weekend. Let's make it happen!

I don't want a gimme.

Btw, no worries. I was periodically refreshing this page while watching TV shows with my wife. So no one got hurt. Anyway, I can do either Saturday or Sunday. Sunday I'll be out more of the day so Saturday would be better. Give me a time (preferably not in the evening when my wife and I may be out) and we'll figure something out.

Would you be able to play around 9 AM your time?

Yeah, probably.

So, according to your message last night, 9AM PST is too early... when would be a good time?

I thought it might be. I'm up now, though. I could crawl back into bed until 9. I could wait here until you show up. If you show up in the next 10/15 minutes let's do it now. Otherwise I might crawl back into bed until 9/9:30 my time.

And yeah, on a weekend that generally is too early. I like to sleep in when I can.

Back to bed it is. Maybe in an hour?

Sounds good, see you at 9:30 PST.
