Agree. Love that there are NO commercials.

Am I the only one that thinks that NFL Points commercial ("If You've Got the Money, Honey") where the old guy is buying the little girl all the presents could be seen as a little inappropriate? Maybe the guy isn't her dad?

OH COME ON

Turned this on over at my dad's while over there at lunchad: What game is this?Me: All of them. Dad: ???Me: It's the Red Zone channel. Any time a game has a play that is a scoring play or significant one, they show it here.Dad: Oh.....well, that should be pretty cool.(5 mins later)Dad: I don't think I can do this channel. I am so confused on who is playing who.Me (grabbing the remote): OK, let's find a real game.

RZC is 703 on Directv. It's pretty cool but it seemed like they stayed on CLE/CIN too much earlier this afternoon.

Are there transactions or no? #toolazytolookformyself

One transaction per round of games during group play, then an unlimited amount before the knockout rounds. During the knockout rounds, you get one in-between the games of each home-and-home series, and then six after every round is complete.Pick 15 players (2 G, 5 D, 5 M, 3 F) with a $100mm cap, select 11 each week. You can use quite a few different formations, I think you can use between 3-5 D, 2-5 M, 1-3 F.jeep :wave:

My favorite thing about this time of year is watching people lose their minds in the Shark Pool



Highlights from today:

-nice little slap fight in the Ravens/Steelers thread

- some guy swearing at FBG for mis-projecting Ray Rice's numbers

-MOP posting in all caps "yelling" at flapgreen

-After 1 quarter of football someone bumping his old post and taking credit for calling that Cam Newton would be a great QB

OMG it's a war zone in there and I love every minute of it.

Just saw the Clydesdale/WTC commercial. I'm considering signing up for Al-Qaeda.

On the flipside of cheese, anyone else notice that the refs aren't calling those insane roughing the passer penalties anymore?It's like QBs are football players again.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Never really thought that starting the Pitt D would be an atrocious idea. Sitting at -1 right now. Awesome.

:( I would also like to thank Josh Freeman for his 4.2 points whilst I have Joe Flacco and his 23.2 on my bench.Sorry to turn the thread momentarily into the Shark Pool.

Steven Jackson.

I picked the perfect optimal lineup this week.Getting whupped by 20 points. Other guy had a better team (Calvin, Rogers, D-Jax, Beanie, Boldin, T-Gonzo).

I saw Harrison pile drive Flacco after he released the ball (throwaway at the feet of the FB). Then he helped Joe <up> and they both laughed. Effing 1975ish.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

I look like Joe Flacco, except not as tall or rich. Can somebody look rich?

NFL Red Zone is awesome. I didn't see any of the early games, but they flip around between the action really well.

I made a joke about Dr JB in the Lions game thread because he jumped the gun on Stafford (cramps)and called it a sprained ankle. I got an immediate rebuttal AND a PM (but no timeout). I think the takeaway is don't #### with the owner and try tweaking his nose on his cash cow weekend.

I thought about starting a thread lauding how awesome my "team" has been this year (basically the high scorer at every position so far), but then thought better of it. I've had a good run with this alias.

 

[YSR]

I'm really, really sorry to ask this here, but one time FDAS made fun of me for going into the ACF in 2008, so I won't make that mistake again.

As I posted before, I have had Manning as QB1. Upon some wise advice from Truck last week (who also suggested I go ahead and pick up Tate ), I switched out Fitzpatrick for Orton, so I have him set to start tomorrow night. I'm not concerned about Oakland, per se, but am concerned about him being my guy for the season. Should I be looking at anyone else?

QBs available:

Fitzpatrick

McMoy

McNabb

Sanchez

Garrard

Henne

Campbell

Hasselbeck

etc., etc. I want to keep Manning on my roster. Anyone on that list worth picking up for a backup (can drop A.J. Green, a DEF, or Daniel Thomas if need be).

Raise your hand if you thought the AZ-Carolina game would be the most exciting game of the week.

How about starting Roy Williams over Steve Smith? Cam Newton though. What a debut.

I just read that there were two different flights that had to be escorted due to "suspicious behavior".

Pretty sure if I was flying today I would get on the plane, sit down, keep my hands folded on my lap and NOT DO ONE G-DAMN OUT OF THE ORDINARY THING.

Broke-neck-buddy is doing better, which is good. He actually got to take his neck brace of last Friday for about an hour, until the doctor realized a mistake, telling him to put it back on for a week or two more. IOW, he was about a month ahead of schedule... almost. This is good because his first baby boy is probably going to be early as well.

Good to hear! Neck, not back. Sorry.

Meh, you got the spine right. Thanks for asking. He should be fine. I don't know if I ever posted here, but just to clarify: they fused C3 and C4 because they were broken. Those pins are fine (no rejection). This caused the doctor to say it was fine to remove the brace. Later, as he was later updating the chart, the doctor realized he hadn't consulted the Xray for C2 which sustained a fracture. It was fine as well, but caused the doctor to recommend putting the brace back on. C1 is your first vertebrae. He fractured C2, and broke C3 and C4 which they fused. Basically, I told the story there to point out how extremely lucky he was. I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure the nerves for your arms don't all come out before you get past C5, maybe even C7. He very easily could've been paralyzed from the neck down, but should be holding a new baby boy soon.

I was foggy on my anatomy classes from back when I was pre-med and my EMT courses as well, so I looked it up:

C4 (cervical vertebra): The fourth cervical (neck) vertebra from the top. Injuries above the C-4 level may require a ventilator for the person to breathe properly.

C5 5th cervical vertabrae down from the base of the skull, found in the neck. C5 injuries often maintain shoulder and biceps control, but have no control at the wrist or hand.

btw, Krista: Car/Ari was my game of the week here in Birmingham and I played on my new PS3 instead.

GPJ, I might sign up for that at work tomorrow, but I think I'm another year away from actually knowing enough to feel good about picking a fantasy team associated with soccer in any form.

I think Cam Newton is excellent value for leagues that don't penalize for INTs. He'll end up being a very good QB2 IMO with upside of a QB 1

We've been having some pretty bad wildfires in the mountains east of town. I guess one of them is threatening one of the mountain communities and they have to evacuate.

You know how I know? THERE'S BEEN A SCROLLING MESSAGE ACROSS THE TOP OF MY SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL SCREEN FOR THE LAST HOUR AND A HALF.

There are less than 2400 people up in that "town". I'm pretty sure none of them are watching football. Get that damn thing off my TV.

Yes, I am a horrible person.

No lie, I immediately went to urban dictionary to see if this was some cool euphemism that I didn't know. Couldn't find anything. Did you really mean "cook drumsticks"?
