I'm still active, I played a game 2 nights ago!
DS, Firesloth and Jayhawker, can anyone play tonight? I'll be on, or if you want to schedule that's cool too.

Tonight may work really well. My wife is probably hitting the gym, so I should get some prime TV time. What time would you like try for?
I'll be on by 8. Want to try for then?
Is that eight eastern? So in about 40 minutes?
Yes, I'm about to hop on there now.
since prederick is done that means i have one game left and that is you DS. When do you want to play.
DS, can you reset the game between Jayhawker and me? The connection dropped.
I'll be on Live for a little while if anyone on my hit list (read: lose-to list) wants to get a game in.
Good game, Bagga!
I could never stop his passing game. I somehow got away from my run game. Earl Campbell had 5 carries for 70 yards. The game ended up a lot closer than it was. I was able to make it 31-28. but never got any closer. I missed a FG in the first half, and Bagga made a sweet 50 yard FG with 2:13 left to make it 31-20. I called it a game at that point. While I did move the ball down the field and scored pretty quick, Bagga took three knees and punted to me with five seconds left. That was too little time.
Elliottx when can we play our game.
Come on guys we can't let this die. It's the only football game we will have for years to come.
I'm sorry fellows, but I just can't keep up. I was finally able to sit down last night with the hopes of playing a game only to be paged for work less than five minutes later. I can't seem to get more than 10 minutes at a time for any given sitting anymore... which is fine for XBLA games and the like but certainly not for APF sessions. I've really grown to appreciate and prefer this game (far more than the last several Madden titles) but I can't maintain the responsibility of playing games on a regular basis. I don't want to stall the league anymore than I already have. Thank you all for including me and for your patience. I'd love to still play when I see you online (if I know I'm "off" work for that time).
I can play tomorrow night (~9-11 EST) and saturday daytime or sunday morning. Any of those times work for you?
Yeah; maybe if you folks get in an early game, I could grab a later game with Bagga, who is my one remaining (i.e., non-forfeiting) opponent.
I probably won't be on until about 11 EST tonight, maybe a little earlier. Either of you two going to be on around then?
There's a possibility I'll be around. It all depends on the boy, the work, and how long I can keep my eyes open!
I'll sign in now, and see if anyone's on.
Woo. getting close to the playoffs!
Bagga and I played last night; he won 37-31 in OT. It was a great game, and Bagga came from behind to win. He managed to score in almost every way possible -- INT return for a TD on the first drive of the game, punt return for a TD, John Elway eating my lunch to Herman Moore for a TD.
In fact, the bounces went his way even when they didn't. Late in the game, and down by 7, Bagga tried an onside kick, which I dutifully recovered. Trying to get back a bit from the front line to dive to the ground, my guy fumbled it, and Bagga recovered. He went from there to score the tying TD.
I had a chance to potentially seal it in regulation; I had the ball on his 27 yard line with 37 sec left. I was worried about the time and my ability to pull off a FG kick. I really wanted another 5 yards or so. Rather than be smart and run Barry Sanders up the middle, I was rushing everyone to the line after three passes in a row to get me to that point. I passed the ball over the middle (ugh) right to one of his players for the INT, which sent the game into OT.
Bagga got the ball first in OT, and I couldn't stop him. I had him bottled up for so much of the game, but couldn't keep that going in the second half. He scored 21 second half points, including 14 in the 4th quarter (including that damned 84 yard punt return...I had nightmares about Mel Renfro last night). I only scored 7 points in the second half.
I held him to 14 yards rushing while gaining 176 and a rushing TD myself. My QB had a 95 rating, 9.5 YPA, 58% completion, and 3 TDs. You'd think that'd be enough, but you'd be so wrong!
Nice game, Bagga. I'm glad to get the playoffs started. I don't have to worry about my horrible regular season, just about beating one more person. (Then the next...)
I'm still in disbelief about that game. If you show that stat sheet to anyone, they'd think you beat me 31-7. I couldn't stop Barry Sanders. You picked apart my zone defense (on most plays) and marched down the field regularly. Great game.
DS, would you be able to play tomorrow (sunday) morning?
I could play anytime. Are you around now?
**edit** I'm just going to sign on for a little while, hope to see you on there.
So, I think I'm now done with my league regular season games, as are several other folks. It looks like
*Elliottx has to play frankiemumbles and maxox (nearly there).
*DS has to play baggachipz and ruthlessmuffin.
Then we're off to the play-offs!
Last minute breakfast with friends for a birthday and now we're getting ready for the Super Bowl. Stupid life. Tonight after the game?
Yeah, life really gets in the way of things.
I'm guessing I'll be asleep after the game, since I live three hours in the future. Tomorrow night?
I'll be around after the game tonight Ds if you want to play
