I wouldn't bet an under on a prime time game.

[suchmoon]

I find myself rooting for Jaguars today. They don't really need to win but 20+ points and 300+ yards would be nice.

Except Robinson. Don't give him any more balls please.

Edit: it's quite funny how Bengals were careful to leave less time for a rookie QB than 49ers against Rodgers.

Anyway, congrats to morvillz7z, you hedged your roster very well.

[ChiBitCTy]

Isn't it getting close to Cooper Kupp out for season time?

Don't you dare.  Take it back lol.  I have him in another league of mine and he be killing it.  I had cupp and Mike Williams later to go with some top backs so looking good in that league.  Wr is thin otherwise so I need Mr cupp to place nice the whole season plz.

Maybe just wishful thinking on my part! I'm probably jealous because my teams are walking wounded!

Misery loves company, rite?

I don't wish anyone any harm, but I wouldn't mind him being out for the two games against the 9ers.  I'm still not sure if the Rams are a fluke this year, or they really are as good as they've looked the last couple of games. We'll see as the conference games get going.

Did you post a picture of this buffoons face just to try and anger Hueristic and I?! 

All I see is this:

Agreed I can't stand listening to him yell at the TV.  Half the nonsense that comes out of his mouth is either wrong or without any thought behind it.  Dude thinks if he yells loud that means he is right.  Don't know how he became one of the faces of espn. Smh

This is exactly why I don't like this fool, one freaking bit.  He's not only a moron when it comes to sports knowledge ( and he truly is ), he's a moron when it comes to all sorts of things in life.  His stance against medical marijuana being one that absolutely pisses me off to no end.  Any sports show that scripts exactly what is to be said is simply stupid.  It was so obvious when him and Skip (another moron) were together that it was planned for one to take this side, and the other to take the other side.. when it's that obvious it's NOT entertaining.  I could go on for days about this fool! lol

Hedged it like a boss, James Robinson putting points on the board and Bengals D/ST throwing back it in the trash. I wasn't planning on playing Robinson at all, but with Hyde inactive, it was worth the shot.



The two winless teams going after the meme called Bengals defense. #desperate

Well, it worked out far better for you than I was hoping it would . I still need to find some points to beat you and I just don't see any particularly exciting possibilities on my side. I'd be lucky to meet the ESPN estimate.

Dammit. I blew it. Gonna take a cooling off period before I do the Unforgiveable and go 0-4.

I bought Madden 21 for Xbox the other day because Madden 22 has terrible reviews... It turns out Madden 21 is only slightly better. Its been about 5 years since I last bought a Madden game. While the graphics have improved, a lot of the mechanics have not, and there's some serious bugs during gameplay that causes players to do shit they would never do in the real life. Like RBs side-stepping at the 1 yard line into a bunch of linemen rather than just punching it into the end zone.

Its still kind of fun. I like the Fantasy Franchise mode where you draft 54 players as one of the NFL teams. So its like NFL but the players are randomly jumbled across all the teams.


Who do you guys like this weekend?

[bbc.reporter]

@nutildah. I like Dallas Cowboys -5.5. The Panthers’ good win was only versus the Saints. The others were only versus the Jets  the Texans. The Cowboys might win by 1 touch down. I also like the Ravens -2.5. Similar reasons, Broncos wins were only versus Jaguars, Giants and Jets. Did you know where this advice came from? I shall put a crown on him of both of them win.

Thought I would share with you guys the “trophy” that I got for the league winner in the Bitcointalk fantasy football league I run. I’ve had fantasy belts (like a WWE type belt), trophies etc, but this seemed to be something different that I thought would be pretty cool. Now just have to decide what to get for the leagues last place finisher lol.

That looks great. Who is in your league, or is that a secret?

For the loser - I think public humiliation is a fantastic prize. Maybe some mockery but no taunting, that's against NFL rules.

[South Park]

Gronk is out for the game against the Patriots, it is such a shame, this is probably the only time we will see a game with Brady and Belichick facing each other, unless they happen to met at the SB which is really unlikely, and we will probably talk about it for years if not decades to come, so it is disappointing to not have Gronk out there.

And in more mundane things this means I do not get to play Gronk this week against the Psychotics, fortunately for me I watched the TB at LAR and I had a hunch this would happen so I grabbed a TE during the waiver wire so I hope to get at least some points out of the position.

I want to play Brown and Godwin but I'm just too WR heavy and hurting on the RB side of things.

[bbc.reporter]

@Hueristic. Antonio Brown? I regret dropping him. He might be one of Brady’s main targets presently without Gronk. I did not take into consideration that players get injured and this gives opportunities for other players. I think a flex spot is good for Brown?

Yeah, Antonio has a higher ceiling than Godwin but Godwin has a better floor, I posted I was thinking of taking him and actually hoped you would grab him back. I really am too WR heavy but he was too much value out there to leave.

Lol no secret, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5353241.msg57639905#msg57639905

Yeah I thought a ring was a nice twist, something a bit different. & that’s exactly what I’m trying to figure out, what sort of public humiliation to put the last place loser through    & good one with the “no taunting” , gave me a good chuckle 

[ChiBitCTy]

Good luck to you all in your games today btw. Anyone else excited for tonight’s game?

As long as Brady throws at least 5 of his eleventy touchdowns to Mike Evans, I couldn't care less.

[Hueristic]

so I grabbed a TE during the waiver wire so I hope to get at least some points out of the position. 

WELL FUCK!

I knew it was coming, I was expecting 4 to 5 points from Knox and instead I got Gronk like production, in a way the TE production I have been having is ridiculous, the TE position has scored 6 TDs in four games while both of my WRs have only scored 4TDs during that same time frame.

And speaking of crazy production, the Taco team with their 134.58 Fantasy Points surpassed the previous record imposed by the Maddogs and put the highest score in a single week so far.

"Dammit Stafford stop getting yards, you're fucking up my second Fantasy Football league game," said the Rams fan.

Yeah that's the real FUCK of the week, what did I do to deserve this LOL

Looks like I'm gonna need those 5 TDs from Evans
