A request for the smart alecks regarding week 17 (1 Viewer)

[shader]

I've read like 3 or 4 threads this morning regarding week 17. In every thread, some smart guy comes in and tells us how stupid we are for playing in week 17.

WE GET IT. YOU LIKE TO END YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP A WEEK EARLY AND MISS A WEEK OF FANTASY FOOTBALL.

Please get out of our threads. You won your championship, (or lost), so your off-season has already started.

The rest of us are still having fun while you're not!!!

Our league plays a combined week 16 and 17 score. Not only does it scale out the luck factor for one blow up week, but it keeps the fantasy season going the full 17 weeks.

There are usually alot of great performances week 17 that would otherwise be missed.

 

[Steeler]

This probably won't have the effect you expect.

I expect alot of sarcasm, and I imagine I'll be correct.

 

[Mario Kart]

Isn't it "smart Alex" and not "smart alecks"? I ask because if I am correct than a bunch of "smart Mike's" and "smart Larry's" can still post whatever they want. Plus, when I write aleck(s), a red line appears under the word so I am not spelling it correctly. I am confused now.

 

[Buffaloes]

I thought it was smart alecs

 

[Avery]

What's a "week 17"?

 

[Clifton]

Most of the Sharks I know do a "Pro Bowl" this week.

 

[Touchdown Syndrome]

We are all so lame for missing out on the great fun of starting Curtis Painter, Kenneth Darby, and Early Doucet.

I usually just go with wiseacre in order to sidestep the issue.

I dont think any of the teams in the championship game will be starting those guys. But thanks for your tip!

Yeah we did that in my league for a few years but no one ever really paid attention to it and it didn't have any juice or excitment so it kinda just died its own death. I hate wasting week 17 but I can see all the arguments pro/con.

It is a waste for sure.Last year in week 17:Andre Johnson 10 catches, 148 yards, 2 tdsSchaub 328 yards, 2 td'sPeterson 103 yards 1 TDDeangelo 178 yardsBrees 386 yards 4 TDsSteve Smith 134 yardsColston 123 1 TDRivers 207 yards 2 tdsLT 96 yards and 3 tdsWarner 264 yards 4 tdsFitzgerald 130 2 tdsI think you get the point. Yeah there are a few guys that sit out. But overall it's a great week and usually no different than a mid-season bye week. You just have to plan for it.

 

[Sammy Traveller]

did you know 17 is a prime number?

Tip my grandmother told me when I was just a little boy.

"You get more with sugar than you do with salt"

If you have trouble figuring out that one, let me know. It has to do with how you titled your thread, I'm not sure what you expected when you did that.

Really like that idea^^^^^

 

[FavreCo]

Week 17 is the PRO-BOWL baby.

We don't miss anything. 3 divisions each set a lineup of all stars and play for $ and the one that puts up high points gets the coin.

Ain't missing nothing.

We discussed doing something similar. I imagine that's fun too.

 

[Stinkin Ref]

in one of my leagues we combine 16-17 as well.....its kind of nice....something different.........it makes you plan a little more and just another test of your ability to manage a fantasy roster and your ability to make tougher decisons based on different information....

I know Alec and he's not too bright.

I've been using "Knucklehead" for years and seem to like the ever so slight barb it brings, but it's not too 'in your face' that makes you sound condescending.

Huh? If you have Manning and Palmer as your QBs in a 2-QB or deep league, who are you starting? Plucking Drew Brees from your waiver wire?

Well if you had to start Manning (assuming you mean Peyton) last week, you probably didn't do so well last week in the QB department

I won a week 17 championship last year on the strength of the Matt Schaub to Andre Johnson combo last season.The guy I beat was led by Colston and Leon Washington. Romo let him down with a stinker against the Eagles.

Can it really be a good posting? I believe the word ######ed is an adjective, not a noun. A noun is a person place or thing, an adjective is a word that describes a noun. In this case, the word ######ed is describing a fantasy league that plays a week 17 championship game. The league is the noun, ######ed is the adjective. I just don't know how you can use the "good posting" emoticon with that discrepancy going on.

By the way, I think I may run for the Chief of the grammar police with that campaign speech. Except for the fact that I ended the underlined sentence with a preposition, Oh well!

edit: Sorry, I didn't know that the language filter didn't like the word re⋅tard⋅ed
