Maverick

^I saw that while watching the game and my jaw dropped. Volleys can be struck so freaking nice.

Plot twist: The baseball bat was the Panthers' lucky charm - they end up suffering first loss next week because they don't have it with them.

Oh yeah, is anyone else upset this scene that was shown in the trailers just turned out to be a dream? I was expecting this to be epic.

1st money league: missed playoffs by a spot or two 2nd money league: I'm in the championship game. $450 if I win, $100 if I lose. TPG Yahoo: low seed, bounced in first round of playoffs

Update: I'm in the championship game! Thanks for the help fellas. Going to need it again if I want to win that $450! Same players as above, updated with their matchups: Ivory vs NE McFadden vs BUF Draughn @ DET CJ Anderson vs CIN Gore @ MIA Bolden @ NYJ Maclin @ CLE John Brown vs GB I'm thinking of going with the same 3 as this past week (highlighted in green). Thoughts?

I'm in the semifinals of my one money league and desperately need some suggestions from TGP's finest. I've got a plethora of RB options, but I only have 3 spots so I need to get it right. Non-PPR. Chris Ivory vs DAL Darren McFadden vs NYJ Shaun Draughn vs CIN CJ Anderson vs PIT Frank Gore vs HOU Brandon Bolden vs TEN John Brown (ARI WR) vs PHI The 3rd spot is a flex, and I guess it's worth noting that I do have John Brown (Arizona WR) on my bench. Even though it's non-PPR, he hasn't scored under 10 points in the last 4 weeks...I guess I have to consider him for the 3rd spot, too. As of now, Ivory is a definite. McFadden is usually an automatic start, but Jets' run defense is damn good so I'm a little hesitant. The rest are all question marks. - Draughn is the clear starter, but Cincy is another tough run defense. - CJ may not even play and shares carries with Hillman anyway so I'm not really feeling him - Gore had a lot of carries, but has only scored 2 TDs in last 8 games. Bit of a boom/bust play I feel - Bolden got about 16 touches last game, and if Blount can't go this week he may be worth a start

Started laughing out loud at work when I read the MNF one

I saw the movie Friday morning with my pops in IMAX 3D. I'm going to see it again in standard format sometime soon hopefully. I've been reading this thread for the past few days just being too lazy to post my own thoughts, but I'll finally do it: And yeah, I don't think spoiler tags are necessary anymore. If you haven't seen the movie at this point, you should expect to see spoilers when venturing into a Star Wars thread.

No, it's because it's Odell Beckham Jr

Well, Ivory was the definite start and ironically he was the one that let me down. 4.9 points. Screw you, Bilal Powell. McFadden got me 13 points which I'm thankful for, and Brown ended up scoring 9.3 which was better than what the rest of my backs scored. Another moment of irony here. I also had Jeremy Maclin as an option, but he's so inconsistent that I didn't even consider him. He scored 11 points. -___- I'm up by 20 points going against Calvin Johnson tonight. Since this is non-PPR I like my chances, but he does have the potential to go off - especially against a shitty NO defense.

lol Bleacher Report "writers"

Deceived would probably be the more appropriate word to use, but I think you could say Anakin was seduced by the Dark Side. The straw that broke the camel's back was Anakin believing he could save Padme if he turned. He was seduced into thinking he could have the power to save the love of his life, which was especially enticing since he couldn't save his mother. Both deceive and seduce fit, IMO. As far as not being convinced by the love story/acting, I agree with you 1000%.

Mourinho sacked

Why's that?

What about Whittaker or Tolbert though?

Good shout Vin - Brown got picked up two hours after your post. Thanks for the suggestions. I've never started a WR in my flex before since it's a non-PPR league, but it sounds like that may be my best option. I've pretty much dismissed Draughn and CJ at this point, but Bolden and Gore are still making me struggle. As of now I'm rolling with Ivory, McFadden, and John Brown.

Close game.

Tony Pulis is a scumbag

Don't get me wrong, Randall played well, but let's be honest...Dez couldn't catch anything. He had at least three drops if not more that were just down to him not being able to hold onto the ball. They weren't catches that were highly contested either. These were balls that Dez should be holding onto. I'm OK with you giving some credit to your defensive back, but I think most of America knows that this was just one of those days for Dez - which happens quite frequently tbh. Every couple of games Dez has a severe case of butter fingers. We're just terrible. We can't generate shit on offense. It's embarrassing. All this season told me is that the Cowboys were not prepared at all if Romo went down, which is laughable considering his injury prone history. 1 win out of 10 games is unacceptable simply because your starting QB is out. Unacceptable.

Well, I started all of Sean's best players and as a result I'm out of the playoffs. It didn't help that my top two receivers shit the bed while my backup WRs all balled out.

You know what they say about the green grass...

Well, the league used to have 12 teams in it so 66% isn't as bad, but yeah I agree that we should probably reduce it.
