All I need tonight to have a clean sweep in all my leagues and pools:
(1) 120 yards and 2 TDs combined between Priest Holmes and Jamal Lewis. (I’m down 19.5 points in my keeper league, but have the two backs running tonight.)
(2) 33++ combined points between the teams. (I’m tied in Hal Briston’s head2head pool, and the MNF score is the tiebreaker.)
(3) Trent Green + 10 pts to outscore Lewis, Gonzalez, and KC. My benefit here is if Gonzalez scores, the points will likely come from Green; if Lewis scores, the points will come away from KC.
So, really, if Holmes puts up 300 yards and 10 TDs, that’d just be greeeeaaaaaaaaaaaat.
In other news, I’m now second-guessing my big-name trade of Curtis Martin for Brett Favre. It worked out great for me last week with Favre vs Indy, but this week, even Roethlisberger on my bench outperformed Favre. I made the trade so I wouldn’t have a QB controversy!
OK, AD, have at it. The Stillers are on top of the division, crow to your hearts content. Unlike you, however, I realize the season is a marathon, not a sprint. The record in January is what’s important.
Bubba, I guess your tail’s a spinning. Y’all outplayed us, enjoy the win.
I needed the fucking Ravens to hold Padre down to a 23 points to win my fantasy league this week. Of course the shitbags let Priest have 24. :smack:
Oh well, more important than that, the Ravens lose, and we’re in first place.
I shouldn’t gloat, but holy shit - how in the hell did the Chiefs kick the shit out of the Ravens so completely? I don’t even know what the final stats were, but I know they allowed Holmes to go over 130, and probably didn’t have the ball for more than one quarter of the game. If not for a circus play, a punt return and a bad pass interference call in the end zone, they wouldn’t have had more than a field goal. Damn!
Well, it was touching when they featured Murderin’ Ray giving advice about how to play with a court case hanging over your head to Jamal “The Dealer” Lewis. But take heart - it sounds as if he’ll only be suspended for four games or so, and his jail time will come during the off season. Didn’t look like he really was able to get it out of his mind tonight, though.
Now c’mon, Hentor…be fair.
Just call them “criminals” instead of “felons” and then dave won’t need to ask for a cite or for any more details…he’ll know exactly what you mean, and he’ll know that you’re right.
Scum-sucking Chiefs (or scum-sucking Ravens…however ya wanna look at it) just knocked me outta my suicide pool. And there were only five players left, too. :mad:
<sigh>…on the bright side, the high total score did give me my first win in the 1-On-1 Pool.
See, I back my smack talk up with facts, a valuable commodity here on the SDMB, even when talking about football. You say “murdering Ray”, yet Ray Lewis pled to exactly what he was guilty of: lying to the cops. You, I, and everyone else with just a smidgeon of an honest bone in their bodies knows that Ray didn’t murder anyone, he was simply at the wrong place, at the wrong time, with “friends” who turned out to be thugs. Since then he has been a model citizen, he obviously learned his lesson and good on him for doing so.
As for Mr. J. Lewis, he did nothing that would be considered a crime in any common sense legal system. Unfortunately, he’s a victim, as are we all, of the federal governments insane “war” on drugs. He’s agreed to a plea bargan that will allow him to continue his profession while serving just a few months in jail. The feds count on that kind of stuff, because the alternatve is 10 guaranteed years in jail. I’d do the same myself, and I dare say so would you. It’s insane that a person who feels he might have a good chance of proving his innocence (but not guaranted, oh no, there’s a XX% chance you’d go to prison, no matter how innocent you are) can see pleading out as a better alternative, but there you are.
This is not a partisan issue, I’d say the same if it was Joey “cheap shot” Porter on the hot seat. Unfortunately, I know Airman Doors and the rest of you Steeler fans too well to expect y’all to take the high road. I’ve resigned myself to it. Everything, life, facts, reality, your own families, whatever, tend to take a back seat to your obsession with a football team that hasn’t won dick in 26 years. It’s simply pathetic. Do me a favor, would you? If my rabid fandom for the Ravens ever overwealms my common sense, shoot me, please. A life that shallow is frightining.
Hey AD, I got a quick question for you. Don’t think, just answer from your gut.
Aaron has a deadly disease. You can cure him, or guarantee a Steelers Super Bowl win. What do you do?
You had to think about it, didn’t you?
Blind fandom is just as pathetic as blind patriotism.
I dare say I would not, because I dare say that the feds would not have my voice on a recorded phone call arranging a cocaine deal worth 5 figures. Also, since then, I would not have flunked on the leagues drug policy twice. Me, you, or anyone else reading this would not be in that position, as anyone with an IQ higher than a fucking slag heap would not be.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh. So, good morning ** Asterion**. I hoped you slept well last night.
I have a favorite Ray Lewis quote - “I can’t be getting double teamed every play?!?!”
No you weren’t Ray. Most times you were blown off course by a single determined blocker. The score lied Ray. It never was that close. Accept for the one time your special teams players stepped up and performed, your offense relied on totally on Jamal, who needed help from the officials to get close to the goal line. You and your teamates were outclassed in just about every phase of the game.
Oh my gosh. I feel it coming. Its swellling up. I’m afraid I’m going to … Bwahahahaha. Sorry, please forgive the sudden outburst.
I’m gonna bow out now. I thought we were just having fun - but **WeirdDave’s ** post was the most revolting and pathetic piece of crap that I have read in a long time.
I didn’t mind him rationalizing about the crimes. I mean, whatever.
But that last disgusting shot at Airman Doors
tells me that this means more to some than to others. I won’t be back to this thread. IT IS JUST A FREAKING GAME
I thought it was particularly funny in the Ravens-Bengals game when the commentator described Ray Lewis as “knifing in there to make the stop.” I wonder if he cringed as he realized the words that were coming out of his mouth.
**Airman Doors,[b/], if Kitty Dukakis were raped and murdered, would you take the Giants and the points? If you could go back in time, would you go back to September 10th, or would you wager on Broadway Joe fulfilling his prediction?
If you had to stomp on a group of puppies, take candy from a blind girl scout, and personally kill Bambi’s mother - would you call that a bad day or a good one?
Well, good. Because at the picnic last spring, you said that Steeler football was the “most important thing in your life”, and went on and on about how you’ve watched them sense you were a little boy and what you wanted most in your life was to see them win a Super bowl. It sounded like it should be hyperbole, but with the way you obsess about this team I actually wasn’t sure. I am glad to see that I was wrong.
Believe me, Dave. If the Steelers were my whole life I would be divorced and unhappy, and we could never be friends. When I speak of the Steelers it’s always in hyperbole. Do I love watching football? Absolutely. Do I love watching the Steelers play? Sure do. Would I give up anything in the world to watch the game? No way.
