The TPM Fantasy Football League - Season Three!

[Clark]

pika check out my trade. lemme know. ward for cotchery/tb def(long shot but i ask anyways)
you should look around free agents for someone to replace galloway, theres plenty of good jets ones out there, once they let favre actually get some plays going with his WR on a regular basis, they will fly off the charts. atleast imo. cotchery will be a loss for me in points but its your call.

[mr_pikachu]

Meh, I just don't think I'd get enough out of that trade. If my defenses were weak I'd go for it, but so far the Bears have been one of the top teams in the league. I just really have no need for another top-tier D.

I'm trying to find a suitable counteroffer that would benefit both of us in some fashion. Thus far I've had no luck, but if anything turns up I'll let you know.

As for Galloway, I'm trying to find out how long he'll be out. Maybe he'd be worth keeping for a late push, but I'm really starting to doubt it.

[Drago]

And keeping track of stats as they develop is difficult, is it? Have you checked the first post of this thread lately? Those aren't all just copied and pasted from the league page, you know. Some (like the points of opponents) require a lot of calculation. Including score corrections, ugh.

Exactly. I can't keep up with it quite like you, sir.
So we'll have to wait on with baited breath until year's end to see if any new records are made... So far, Detroit slipped up in their chance to break their own record for win streak over multiple seasons. Shocking!
And thanks for the largest margin help there - I was pretty tired at that point and really didn't want to scour all of the scores any more than I already had.

[Ghost]

For space time-continum(sp?) purposes, I have changed my name back to the New York Thunder. Even without Tom Brady I procede to dominate...

[Ghost]

DTZ i sent you a trade, hopefully we can work something out if you dont like that offer...

[Drago]

Ronnie Brown riding the pine... AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH.

[mr_pikachu]

Don't think LOLOFFENSIVELINE Jones-Drew is going to do any better than the whiner...

Man I'm too good.

LOLOFFENSIVELINE Jones-Drew scored 14.3 this week.

Thank you and good night.

[Mr.E]

Sorry, I was too busy scoring 23.2 points with TURNER THE BURNER to care. LT hasn't even played yet, anyway.

The only question that remains is whether the NFC East or the Poison Myst are more unstoppable...

[mr_pikachu]

Considering that the 0-2 Wild Karrdes are poised to outscore you, I wouldn't be calling myself "unstoppable" if I were you.

[Ultimate Charizard]

Seems my team have taken the week off.....

Theyve just collapsed. I decide to play McNabb and he get carted off with an injury, TO and Holt are playing like ass and the only guy that does over perform is McGahee who i dropped because he hasnt been played all season.

[kainashi]

the dreaded 0-3 start. see you guys next year!

[Mr.E]

That's what the Browns are saying. ;( So much for being preseason division favorites.

Considering that the 0-2 Wild Karrdes are poised to outscore you, I wouldn't be calling myself "unstoppable" if I were you.

You say that as if I haven't scored 50+ more points than... well, you! And LT just punched in his second TD, putting him a couple points over MoJo for this week.

[mr_pikachu]

You say that as if I haven't scored 50+ more points than... well, you!

That would be a great taunt, except that the 50+ points thing is for all three weeks combined. Not so intimidating when one considers how desperately you're clinging to one player to carry your team.

Thanks for complimenting my backup, by the way. Maybe I'll start him next week just to prove I can beat you with benchwarmers.

[Mr.E]

Westbrook only has ten less points thus far and that's including this week when he essentially didn't play due to the early injury. Rivers has more points than anyone on my team, though I started Campbell Week 1. I've got the best DEF in the league. I have more Top 25 offensive players than anyone else, which includes the aforementioned plus Santana Moss and my backup QB and RB... Why am I not starting Moss? He's finally performing up to his level, heh. :[

More like the only reason you might beat me next week is because my autodrafted elite WRs are all on the Week 4 Bye. Meh!

EDIT: Discussing this with a buddy in a chat...

I have the #1 QB. His backup is #9.
I have the #1 RB. I'd have the #2 RB too if Westbrook didn't get injured very early last night. (And he's still fifth.) My backup is the #8 RB and has, in fact, scored more points than all of your RBs thus far. 8) matt forte > ladainian whinelinson true story
I have the #2 WR and three top ten. Royal will probably drop off, but Burress should jump back up quickly so no matter.
I have the #4 TE and even that's underachieving for Witten. (Fasano #1 TE thus far wtf!)
I have the #1 DEF. My backup DEF is tied for #4 and they didn't even play last week.

You're right, I'm desperately clinging to Turner's production.

[DarkTemplarZero]

As always, my receivers are a complete clusterfuck. 6.75 total points this week for Edwards, Holmes, and Driver. That and Tony Scheffler gave me -0.4 points, so he wasn't helping my receivers any. Plus Adrian Peterson had a bad week => a 46 point week with the only bright spot being Jay Culter's lackluster 15 point performance.

[Clark]

i dunno what got up half of our teams asses this week but they better pick it up next week.

[Ultimate Charizard]

'TO' delivers a Storming 0.8 (sarcasm off)

....sigh.

Your opinions are irrelevant. Sorry, but as the Pick 'Em Standings clearly show, you suck at choosing winning teams. An endorsement from you is like a knife in the back.

[kainashi]

you guys need to calm down. it's only 4 weeks into the season!

[mr_pikachu]

Yeah, but the winner of this game will be in prime position for the playoffs, a whopping two games ahead of the pack with only ten to go. The loser will have to scratch and claw their way through the rest of the season to stay in the top four.

By the way, you're only a game off the #4 spot. Hang tough. I want a challenge in this year's tournament!

[Mr.E]

Oh, silly Burress has gone and gotten suspended for another week afterward too. :[

You should feel embarrassed if you lose to the likes of Eddie Royal and Antonio Bryant, let alone Westbrook's injury. Meanwhile, it gives me a viable excuse if I lose. I expected to lose this week anyway, I mean wtf half my starting team on bye.

[kainashi]

my team isn't a challenge. more like a tuneup game before the championship.

[mr_pikachu]

Yo Ghost, you've got a trade offer.


EDIT: Offer withdrawn. You didn't act fast enough, and I needed to make a move.

[mr_pikachu]

Wow. Yesterday, when I told D-Knight that Warner might exceed expectations by getting into a shootout with Favre, I didn't expect to be both right and wrong. 472 yards with 2 TDs is awesome. 6 turnovers (3 interceptions, 3 fumbles lost) is not.

[Ultimate Charizard]

AND THE FAVRE GOES WILD!

I was questioning even playing him. Lucky Mcnabb was questionable with injuries too .

[Drago]

O_o

1-3 is an inauspicious position to be in, but I've pulled out from worse. Besides, if the playoffs had begun yesterday, I would have been the #4 seed - there's far too much parity in this league for my boys to be counted out. Plus, I can finally jettison the RB-by-committee system and hope that my stars can wake up and start performing (the one year I grab division rival Andre Johnson, he suddenly becomes a bum?); I still say my roster is better than their performance indicates.

I'm not worried. Not one bit. ...I'll still accept any one-sided (in my favour) trades that anyone is willing to offer, though. ^_^

[Mr.E]

Well, not surprised to have lost to #2 with more than half of my starting team out. Unless Ward really blows up, won't be by all that much all things considered. *shrug*

[mr_pikachu]

When did "three players" become "more than half of my starting team"? For that matter, Burress and Williams are your #4 and #5 WRs; if you consider them your "starters," that's just mismanagement on your part.

We all know you're just making excuses for getting trashed by the Pika, so why don't you simmer down and wait to play someone a little easier in week 5, okay? *pats head*

[Ultimate Charizard]

40 points all by himself. That is awesomesauce in a can right there.
Shame i cant get the rest of the team right. I need to be more cleverer with the free agents i think because if it wasnt for Farve i would have had a very real chance of going down to a team with 3/4 on Bye.

[kainashi]

congrats to me on my first win.

[Mr.E]

Williams is kind of a #4 since Calvin Johnson's getting all the throws, but Burress? And you forgot the part where Westbrook, a consensus top three back in the league, sat last night due to injury.

I guess it's not half if you include K and DEF, though! Titans and Ravens play each other next week too, lol...

[DarkTemplarZero]

Thank you, Laveranues Coles, for singlehandedly and in a single week doubling the amount of touchdowns my receivers have combined this season.

And in other news, Braylon Edwards caught a touchdown, what? Ryan Grant is still fucking useless though, and it's quite probable that I'm going to trade him.

[mr_pikachu]

Thank you for letting everyone in the league know that trading for Grant would be stupid. We appreciate your honesty.


EDIT: Mr.E's receivers, weeks 1-3:

Santana Moss ~ 40.40
Eddie Royal ~ 27.65
x-Reggie Wayne ~ 24.65
x-Plaxico Burress ~ 18.95
x-Roy Williams ~ 11.65
Antonio Bryant ~ 11.00

x-Bye
Top three receivers


...He lost the weakest of his starters for a week.

Conclusion: Mr.E's just bitchin'.

[Mr.E]

I'd take Grant off your hands if I needed an RB in the slightest... Well honestly, the only thing I might need is a second RB for the Week 7 bye shared between Turner/Westbrook. How about I trade you an equally struggling Roy Williams for him? Maybe Eddie Royal?

Royal was a Waiver pick-up week two, actually, in preparation of my inevitable Week 4 auto-loss. His high season total is just riding the Week 1 statline from when Marshall was suspended, he hasn't actually done much since. Moss, however, has stepped up his game to 2005 form and earned a starting position in my fantasy team as of last week. Still hope Roy Williams can bounce back, CJ's gotten most of the looks so far this year. :/

Plus, you still failed to acknowledge the injury to my top five RB. *shrug* I've no shame in only losing by 20 points with over half my starting offense out and where my opponent's top WR and RB both exploded for 100+, 2 TD statlines. You didn't even blow me out.

[mr_pikachu]

Now that the guy who stopped managing his team like three weeks ago is hammering the Myst into the ground, I can die happy.


EDIT: The amazing thing is that after this week, the #4 team will be 2-3.

Now you see why winning that scrum with the Myst made such a difference... I'll be three games up on the lowest playoff seed when we're done here.

[Ultimate Charizard]

All i can say is i Hate Bye weeks.
TO is used as a Decoy and the only reserves i can get are all hammered.

[Drago]

There we are. The ship begins to be righted with a much-needed second victory. ...Certainly not a good time to be pitted up against Brian's 5-0 Pikas, though... Bleh. Feeling enterprising though, eyeing my FA options. Open to trades, too - I sure have a lot of confidence (after this next week) for a team with only two wins.

[Clark]

second most points, but last in league. my team sucks.

[Mr.E]

Third in points, fugly. Maybe you didn't notice me because my point total starts with a 4.

Now you see why winning that scrum with the Myst made such a difference... I'll be three games up on the lowest playoff seed when we're done here.

I'm still making the playoffs anyway, who cares? Not like there's homefield advantage in fantasy!

[Ghost]

Wow, you guys vote against me every single week, and yet i still manage to win every game? (Last week i didn't have access to a computer for much of the week so i couldn't set my line-up) So right now, me and Mr.Pikachu should be sitting on the top undefeated. You guys should just all start voting for me. With Aaron Rodgers, Fitzgerald and Brandon Jacobs the beast, I am unstoppable. This is not to mention that I also lost my #5 overall pick Brady for the rest of the year.
