All Pro Football 2k8 - Season 4 - Let's play some football

My timing still kind of sucks.

I'm just not getting on early enough to catch you.

Sometime today?

Jayhawker -- A lot of the time when it says I've been on, it's me checking Xbox.com. I probably cannot play until tonight, but chances are I'll be able to after about 10:30 or 11 pm EST. I can probably start as late as just after midnight.

I should be able to make it on, but it will probably be sometime after 11pm. I'm guessing we are in the same boat, as I spendthe evening with the family, and that usually incudes TV. I wait until my wife goes to bed around 10pm (11pm your time) and then check XBL. Sometimes, thanks to the miracle of Tivo, we run late watching our shows.

But tonight I will make time after 11pm your time to get on and play.

Good game Firesloth!

Firesloth and I had a hell of a game last night. We stopped each other on our first drives and it looked like it was going to be a defensive struggle. Facing a 2nd and 5 on my 29, Firsloth ran Sanders on three straight plays, picking up 2, 2, and then losing a yeard on 4th and 1. I responded by going three and out.

So when the next Sparrow drive started, I felt pretty good about continuing to shut sanders down. And on the second play of the drive he scampered for 78 yards and a TD. But apparently it was the day for long runs, as Ricky Sanders took the ensuing kickoff 92 yards to tie the game 7-7. How did Firesloth respond? How about a 73 yard TD pass to Anthony carter on the next p;ay from scrimmage. In less than a minute, we had three TDs by more than 70 yards.

Now it was Earl Campbell time. On my next drive, I ran Campbell on 5 of the six plays, for 57 yards and a TD to ties the game 14-14.

Firesloth came back with a long kickoff return into Hawk territory, and capped his drive with a 9 yard TD by Sanders.

Campbell was still my go to guy, as I again handed the ball to Campbell for 5 of the 6 plays, for 54 yards and a TD. It's now 21-21, and it is pretty clearly not going to be a defensive struggle.

I did force the sparrows to punt, and Campbell hammered away for another TD on six carries for 44 yards to cap the first half with my first lead of the game.

There was a lot less scoring, but Campbell owned the second half, finishing the game with 32 carries and 256 yards, and 4 TDs. I added a FG, and Hebert threw a TD pass for the Sparrows.

The Hawks advance to the next round by beating the Sparrows 38-28. It took awhile, but I now have found a groove in getting Campbell yards. Of course, he will probably now be shut down by my next opponent, frankie or bagga.

I don't know where Bagga is he said he could play Last Thursday, and never showed up I even sent him a private message

Dude, we've talked via PM. I sent you one, are you going to be around tonight?

I know we talk via PM but you haven't been on. I'm on everynight it says you haven't been on in 7 days and it was llonger before that. I just want to get the game in we are all that's left. Come on when you can I'll be on.

Took way too long, Bagga. Sorry, but I forfeited your game and rolled the playoffs forward a week. I think next season I'm going to have a strict 1 week schedule so this doesn't happen again. Anyway, good luck, everyone.

I didn't want that sorry Bagga wish we could have played game as always they are lots of fun.

The line has to be drawn somewhere. I have to make a call. You guys can fire me next season if you don't think I'm being fair, but in the end I have to move the league along for those actually playing.

I love the work you do I also, love the tone in your voice. This is how it should have been handled when Frydaddy, and Oldman GWJ, weren't playing there games after all this is our 4th season we set the standered on how it's done.I know there was a hold up between me and Bagga, and history would say we always get our games in.

The next few nights I probably won't be on until much later. Not sure about the weekend. Sunday or Monday night after 10pm is probably best. If we see each other on before then let's play.
