GM's thread about nothing (38 Viewers)

[Josie Maran]

Tanner and I are drafting on Saturday night in League 3. Going to be a pretty good time.

I seem to recall that I really screwed this up last time I did it. I don't think I realized that there is some sort of strategy concerning not drafting players with early season byes. This I'm going to get really drunk so I don't mess it up.

I drafted Sidney Rice when he had no shot of seeing the field until November.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I won an entry as well for "Freakin' Honsui." Are well going to try to join the same league?

You're welcome.

After five weeks the four best teams move on? Move on to what?

Leg 1 = NFL weeks 1 through 5144 owners (12 leagues of 12 teams each). Top 4 from each league advance to Leg 2.

Leg 2 = NFL weeks 6 through 10

48 owners (4 leagues of 12 teams each). Top 3 from each league advance to Leg 3

Leg 3 = NFL weeks 11 through 16

12 owners (1 league of 12 teams). Prizes based on how you finish there.

For all leagues, you draft the team and then don't need to do anything. Your best lineup each week will be automatically counted.

In All Play, you compete against every other team in your league each week. So, if you outscore everyone, your record for that week is 11-0. If you score the lowest, your record that week is 0-11. After 5 weeks, best 4 cumulative records advance. Goal here is to try and score a lot of points.

In Survivor, 1 or 2 teams with the lowest point total get eliminated each week. So, your main goal here is to avoid low scores.

NM, I see, you redraft after Week 5. Got it.

This means I get half of anything that furley wins, right?

My #####cat entry was robbed.

 

[Disco Stu]

I won Caption Contest #9. 1st place!

I hope this isn't too devastating, but I think the five chosen entries might just be listed in the order they were posted.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

I asked for 5, but fear I may be too late. F'n Frosty.

 

[mr. furley]

Decided to enter the caption contest. Didn't look at the pictures. Didn't make up any captions, either, just pulled a dozen recent headlines off of the Drudge Report. Hopefully by chance one will make sense.

Oh, and I also did the same thing for the 2010 contest threads, pulling random, year-old headlines from the Drudge Report for that one, too. Looking for the 2009 contest threads now.

I won an entry

me too. #11.Fuller> TAKE THAT

I don't want to much up this thread too much with football talk (although miles better than all this debbie downer stuff that seems to be so prominent of late), but did ya'll notice that a rookie qb threw 39 passes against the Texans last night, and Texans didn't even have a single int? Jets threw 46 times, in an effing preseason game - gonna be a long season for that vaunted Texans pass defense

Also, I'm still alive, so I've got that going for me.

The Texans' pass defense is vaunted now? There was vaunting, and I missed it?

Is there a waiting list for when people with less funny captions than mine drop out and I can take the spot I should have had, but I'm sure I must have been inadvertently excluded from?

which caption do you feel was unfairly excluded? I don't recall seeing any of your work during the judging process. Many of the options were horrible so if you have a case, I'll see what I can do.

Would you say that my caption for #9 was not only the first winner in the thread, but the best caption in that thread period?

Hey Stu, My wife received an invite for a baby shower today where we're all invited. Gonna enjoy having an afternoon all to myself.

 

[Thorn]

finders keepers. that's a law.

actually, it might even be in your contract.

I like the way, hypothetically, you guys think. I would like to hear from the lawyerbirds though.

Krista? Thorn? Gadzooks?

Without having read the contract or knowing anything about MO law, I'm going to guess that there's probably an abandoned property law that requires you to safeguard the item for a time and then send it into the state. Try googling "Uniform Unclaimed Property Act."

 

[Thorn]

Hypothetically speaking, say some bald guy on a message board thought you were a lawyer and asked advice about something. And you said you'd get back to him in the morning via PM. What would be a good lawyer-like thing to say? All my lawyer knowledge is based on "A Few Good Men" and "The Firm". I'm gonna watch some "Law and Order" re-runs tonight, but I think I'd be better off getting some suggestions from real life lawyers. TIA

Just be sure to work in the word "retainer."

and "judicial restrangement order"

And "vis-à-vis"

and 'aloof'

Hey Stu,

Congrats GB.I wish some of you were quicker in joining Frosty and I in league 5. Ended up with some extremely shark pool sounding names in that thing. LionsFan78?? I don't know who you are, but you sound like a mad man. I wanna party with you cowboy.

I have heard good things about him from the 77 Lions fans that registered before him.

I'm guessing LionsFan78 is feeling pretty, pretty...pretty good about Detroit's chances this year.

Yeah, I have a feeling there might be some serious business going on in our league. Joffer I think is a free-for-all guy, although I can't remember any details about him. I think all the rest of the guys are pretty serious about their magic football.I wish we had Patsfan39 instead of Lionsfan78.

 

[General Malaise]

I think I did some Survivor thing last year with FBG....and I think I actually advanced to a bonus round of some sorts. Why aren't I invited back? Actually, I don't think I want to play in a league where I advance to the bonus round. How does that happen?

It's a survivor league, which is about 80% luck.

I'd just be blindly picking names off a list the same as you. Really haven't followed NFL closely the past 3-4 years.
