TPM Fantasy Football '11

[mr_pikachu]

just realized my starting QB and top 2 WRs go on bye the same week I rematch Drago. bs luck.

At least your WR unit hasn't been on crutches for the past four weeks.

[Drago]

Trivia question for no prize (except self satisfaction!): throughout TPM fantasy football league history, who had the longest winning streak, how many did they win in a row, and in what year did they do it?

[Bear]

There is a tie. The longest streak is 7 wins in a row, achieved by the following people:

Detroit Firebirds (kainashi) in 2009, 2007, and 2006
The Pikachus (mr_pikachu) in 2008

Come at me bro.

[kainashi]

try doing it 3 times

[Bear]

unfortunately this is a new season. kainashi is like the Patriots of fantasy football: great until their star QB gets injured

[kainashi]

the retard manning will lead me to the playoffs

[Bear]

hey he's sporting a 102.3 passer rating right now!

[Bear]

this is like a replay of last year all over again - #2 in PF, .500 record. EFF U DEVIN HESTER!!!

[kainashi]

most of my team is on bye next week.

[Bear]

I offered you a trade that I think you may be interested in kain

[kainashi]

i hate that guy.

[Bear]

just tryin to help you out broseidon

[kainashi]

bros don't try to rip other bros off

[Bear]

How is that a rip off? He's certainly better than CATT MASSEL!

[kainashi]

i'd lose one of my better receivers for a one week plug in.

[Mr.E]

don't mind me just being superior to both of you and whatnot

[Bear]

can't be superior when you don't even have the guts to play! You're like the Jay Cutler of fantasy

[kainashi]

my cousin that also plays fantasy football told me to find a new hobby once i told him how much i lost by.

[Bear]

Yeah this was a pretty bad week for you. I mean BOTH RBs going down? I wouldn't wish that on anyone

If it makes you feel any better I had Marshawn Lynch in another league and he injured himself during pregame warmups and they kind of casually mentioned he wasn't going to play like...5 minutes after the game started. I'm also 1-6 in that league so I suck EVERY week.

Chin up man you're a perennial playoff contender, it'll turn around!

[mr_pikachu]

Chin up man you're a perennial playoff contender, it'll turn around!

Especially if Yahoo! lets you play me every week!

I've been seeing this banner a little too often this season:

[Bear]

lol people actually do those?

[kainashi]

yay another loss.

[Bear]

lol cas was the second highest scorer this week too, sucks. Too bad I can't get this kind of production next week when I play Tony

[Ultimate Charizard]

Yeah thats happened to me a few times now. Second Highest Scorer of the week, but iwas playing the top scorer. Thus my record Sucks but my Points scored is mighty.

[Bear]

Hey I'm sitting at 5-3 and over 70 pts ahead of the next highest PF lol. I'm losing my top 3 scorers this week due to byes so hopefully backups can step up to the prate as I play undefeated Tony :x

[mr_pikachu]

I seem to recall starting 2008 on a 7-0 tear, myself. Then I lost six of my last seven, staggered drunkenly into the playoffs, and got hammered twice in a row to take a pitiful fourth place.

The moral of the story? Cougars, your comeuppance is coming! ...Up!

...Yes.

[Bear]

You do realize that the only games I really predict are my own, and I ALWAYS choose my opponent as sort of a reverse psychology method. That probably explains why my record is 5-3 while my prediction record is 3-5 =P

[kainashi]

i just pick whoever's playing me most of the time. i'll be right all the time this year at this rate.

[Bear]

how do you view those stats anyway?

[Drago]

He mathematizes them! Also, my projected score is dropping as my wideouts get more gimpy. This is the week I go down.

[Bear]

my four best players are on bye stfu

[Drago]

I'll make you a deal. You give me back A.J. Green, and I let you win! You like winning, don't you?

[Bear]

XD missing AJ already are you?

[Drago]

I only dropped him because I had so many guys on a bye, I would have had to actually play him on his week off to keep him.

[Bear]

You must be stacked if there was nobody else you could drop on your roster -_-

[kainashi]

someone stole michael bush

[kainashi]

another week, another loss

[Bear]

Another week, another lucky win for Tony. Why do the fantasy gods hate me so?

[kainashi]

you have a good chance to win still. keep your chin up!

[Bear]

lol with my luck DJax will have one of his asplosions and I will lose by 0.01 pts. Although you're right, I do still have a very real chance to win. I'm just a bit disappointed in the performance of the rest of my team, as well as my teams in all my other leagues (who all lost this weekend)
