FFA Wagering Thread: THERE HE IS!@! (4 Viewers)

[BRONG]

I mean the Bears, still in the game, don't really rush things at all. Then they run it up the gut twice. They punt the ball away. Then once it's a laughable, down big, they run a reverse on the kickoff. It's absolutely hysterical. What a bunch of misfits. That staff has to go; there is no excuse for the apathy you see...on national television, no less. Not an ounce of pride. Thoroughly enjoyable, however.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

those 2 TDs killed:

U24 for 2nd half

Saints -3 for 2nd half

Bears U10.5 for 2nd half

oof

 

[optionmaven]

very tempted to take NO -3 at half.

Bears are just done.

Glad I hedged my teasers some, they are just brutal in every way.

NFL is very have and have not this year, more than I've seen in a long time.

Its an embarrassment. So much dissension. From the coaches to the players to the top brass. What a shambles our once proud, storied franchise has become.

Agree with have and have not statement. The Bears are not alone in their disgrace. Look at the teams that are doing well. Teams that keep making the playoffs every year. Green Bay, New England, Seattle, (ravens, bengals or steelers from afc north) Denver, (Cowboys or Eagles), Indy.... and it looks like we have a slew of returnees from last few years minus San Fran.

RN just pork that guy with the last minute Jeffery TD?

That I did, sir. That I did!

I'm actually sick for the dude. I've been there.

 

[Frostillicus]

I can't believe they lined this game.

 

[Raider Nation]

You gotta read the story about that league, cross-posted from the Jeffery thread.

I know nobody cares, but if you are bored and want a good story, the fact I'm in the championship game in this league is nothing short of a miracle.

Week 13, I needed three teams to lose, and I needed to win, and outscore one of those three teams by about 20 points. It all happened. If any of those teams are playing each other that week, I have no shot. Then in round one of the playoffs, I beat an absolutely loaded team which blasted me by about 80 points two weeks earlier. And now this with Jeffery, which doesn't even happen if the Saints get a 1st down without scoring.

I'll never criticize the Fantasy Gods again.

 

[modogg]

what's up with that Lamar team. Looking at the scores for the night they put up 128.

 

[Tiger Fan]

good call on lofton Rude

Easy win here.

I wouldn't read too much into a game against Champion Baptist College. Though they could probably give Grambling a run.

We all have been, we call that the candy dish(long story). Always awesome when you're on the right side though, nice.

 

[Raider Nation]

Oh, the funniest part, this is an extended work league for a pretty hefty entry fee. I've never met my opponent. But at about 4:40 today, I hear a guy call up Sirius Fantasy channel. I listen to that when I'm in the car. He described our exact situation. "Hi guys, half-point PPR. I'm up 4.5 with Bennett, and my opponent has Jeffery. Do I have any reason to be optimistic?" I'm like.... NAH! But then they said his name; Paul. It was my opponent.

 

[Raider Nation]

Sorry, I'm Chatty Cathy. All pumped up.

 

[modogg]

Sorry, I'm Chatty Cathy. All pumped up.

live it up man, some of us need to live vicariously through you guys since our teams did not get the lucky side of the coin this week

That's ####### tremendous, you should've known from that point he was in for it. I once got a baseball playoff win on a Sunday night, last outs of the week, because Rivera blew a save, then got the win.

Nuts. Jeffrey screwed me, lost by 2. Oh well.

 

[Raider Nation]

That's awesome, Batts. Good/bad fantasy beats welcome.

I have a doozy of a beat... stand by.

Sorry Brong. :(

 

[BRONG]

And I had Graham, that SOB who had to try and make a one handed TD catch.

 

[Raider Nation]

I forget what year it was. I wanna say late 90s. Jets are playing on a Monday night, and it's my championship game. I'm playing against Curtis Martin, and I have a 4 point lead. Goal-to-go situation, very late in the game. Fred ####ING Baxter drops a TD pass from 5 yards out. Flat DROPPED it. He's standing in the end zone at a dead stop, there is not a defender within 10 yards of him, the ball hits him in the hands.

Drop.

Martin scores on a draw on the next play. I was suicidal.

GRAMBLING MADE IT MORE LIKE GAMBLIN at the end huh? WHEEEFROSTYNUTTERBUTTERS!

 

[Whomper]

Thanks again Frosty. 2 days in a row you got me out of trouble. Ore state ..winner

 

[Whomper]

GRAMBLING MADE IT MORE LIKE GAMBLIN at the end huh? WHEEEFROSTYNUTTERBUTTERS!

Yep lol. I was pacing for the last 2 minutes

 

[Frostillicus]

Grambling might have a better shot by bringing in the 2 white kids and the Egyptian

that is a nice middle with Grambling being +10 for the 2nd half, but not too impressed with the 9 points they totaled in the 1st half

Thanks for pointing this one out. Played it and hit a nice middle.

I lost a baseball roto league one year when on the last pitch of the season, MY closer gave up a HR to MY batter. The ER cost me

 

[Frostillicus]

I kind of want to take Alabama +13 @ Wichita because Bama is usually really good defensively and I would think could keep this one close. But then I look and they're really not nearly as good as they usually are and I'm only familiar with one of their starters. Can't do it.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Won a league in 2003 when i had a 1.4 lead against janikowski vs GB. Favre's dad died, and GB came out and blew the doors off them, with seabass only accounting for an xp. Rob johnson nearly led oakland to a garbage time score, until he was sacked/fumbled in the red zone. I was home from school, and i think my mom was actually jumping up and down with me.

 

[Frostillicus]

Drew Bennett's 3 TDs on Monday Night, Joe Horn's 3 TDs on Monday Night, and DeAngelo Williams's 3 TDs on Sunday night all happened against me in championships.

 

[ChainsawU]

WE DID IT SAUGH! Portland treated us well.

Thanks Nugs. I followed that game and the one in Atlanta pretty close for quarter and halftime bets. That was a good 4Q in Portland if you had the over. San Antonio's now 7-0 O/U on no rest after playing the previous game at Denver (might be arbitrary; goes back to 2006). And the Clippers are like 0-7 ATS L7 in the 1Q after losing their two previous games which might be arbitrary too. Should have picked Atlanta today instead of the Bulls though. Sucks to be that wrong on a game. Someone with a lot of money who bets at Pinnacle liked the u197 a whole lot in that game about a half-hour before tipoff. You were right on the under. Should have tailed that instead. I got a hockey total brewing for Wednesday night though; back in the saddle.

 

[tonydead]

Jerome Bettis 3TDs the last game he ever played in Detroit.

 

[Raider Nation]

Anyone remember the sick run (out of nowhere) Steve Beuerlein and Patrick Jeffers went on late in '99? Those dudes were unstoppable.

Late 90s. Packers at the Bears (I think). That deep pass to Antonio Freeman (pretty sure it was him) where he goes sliding down on the ground (I think it was snow) to make this crazy catch. And not one, but two ####### Bears both just watch him without touching him. So he wasn't down by contact. The guy gets up (maybe it was Driver I don't ####### remember any more) and runs another 30 or 40 yards and into the end zone for the TD. It was like a 15 point play that cost me the Championship by a point.

 

[Raider Nation]

"He did WHAT?"

 

[BRONG]

Oh come on, you don't remember that game??? You must. I figured you'd have it cued up already.

Yeah, a Monday nighter like this one, except it was like one of the last plays of the season.

He's quoting Al Michaels. That was the play by play call of the Freeman catch on MNF.

 

[BRONG]

Here it is! It was in OT, even worse! They woulda kicked a field goal and I woulda still won.

What a coincidence how that guy says "He did WHAT???"

 

[BRONG]

I mean it was a total prayer when Favre heaved it. Horrible pass, should've been picked. Defender bats at it and it LANDS ON FREEMAN'S BACK. Pops up in the air. Freeman rolls over and catches the thing! Then those two idiots on Minnie (not Chicago, oops) don't tackle him and he gets up and runs into the end zone. The absolute only way I could've lost.

That has to be on of the worst beats in FF ever.

[BRONG]

Winner got like 4,500. We call it the 5,000 dollar play.

Last comment, I promise. But the guy that beat me is the absolute worst gambler on the planet. We would always try to find out who he liked and go the other way. Especially when he was chasing or LOVED a game.

Then he caught on to what we were doing and would tell us the opposite. He really was/is the worst. This was the only time something good happened, so I don't feel so bad.

Please tell me how you didn't stop playing fantasy forever after this happened? Oh my #### man..thats the absolute worst.

 

[Billy Bats]

My brother won a fantasy bowl starting KOY Detmer and Chris Penn. Unreal.

Good but painful stories, have to agree that Brong wins.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Couple here. Win one title by 0.16 points thanks to a 33 yard Chris Cooley catch early on. I figured I was golden when he got that, then noticed he wasn't making any more catches and got worried he was gonna pull a catch SNF fumble to bone me

In another league I had Warner to Boldin combo and narrowly won (maybe only semifinals). Play was later ruled a lateral which would have given me the loss but our league did not retroactively apply stat corrections

My fav of all time was just a meaningless regular season game where I had a 0.5 lead over a buddy (small sidebet involved)

He had Lee Evans going on MNF who got blanked...good times
