If a sack race had been held at the event and raffle tickets were given to everyone who participated, but you went off to hunt caches while the race was on, you wouldn’t expect to get a ticket and I bet no one would be complaining about it.

I wouldn’t be so sure of that. 🙄

I’m allergic to burlap.

I don’t fit in the sack.

My doctor won’t let me go up and down.

My baby needs to be breast fed at that time.

Where was everyone? I thought it was at 3:00am.

My car had a flat.

I was busy chasing my dog that ran off.

…

I want my ticket. This isn’t fair!!! 😆

Thanks all. The championship was close. I’ll have to plan for some of my starters getting pulled in week 16 next year. 8)

I thought Cheesy was going to battle me for the VG Trophy, but the labrat came from behind. I must say a pretty good first showing. Didn’t the rat have to be coerced and begged to join?

And I knew I had to take care of Mouthy in week 15. I destroyed him. Sure he had a good week 16, but that was for bronze. Once again, no VG trophy for you.

At first I thought the scoring was goofy, but after a few weeks, I thought it was different and fun. I still think the defense should get a point for each sack. Any changes for next year?

Yeah, When? If my math is right……..like NEVER. 😆 😛 🙄 😈

Furry takes a pounding from Sunshine, who takes the pyramid football trophy for biggest blowout of the week.

Mouthy was jinxed by the voting public. Furry, SirCuit Boy and the Experimental Rat all voted for him.

The story expedited our trip to this cache that’s been on our list. And it was well worth it. The one thing I kept thinking, was that there’s no way this place could be empty in a month. Quite impressive.

That was last week. What happened this week? 🙄

So, has anyone completed all 106 caches yet? This series is already on its second day now. 😉

Place your bets, folks. Who will it be?

I ran into Puzzler & BrrrGirl around 11:30am and they were right around 70 and still going strong. I’ll place by bet on this dynamic duo.

So can we hear from the other side of this discussion?

I’m not sure there is another side. I think the poll is skewed because of confusion between the thread title and the poll question. I’m guessing that some read the title and voted without rereading the question.

Hey!

I asked for 10 different things and all I got was the sack thing reversed. That would give the defenses too much power especially when playing 2 defenses when I still think we only need one. Oh well….life goes on.

This has become a yardage league now. Defense and kickers are the ones that lost all the power. Sacks don’t amount for much anyway. There were 8 teams last year that had over 40 sacks (2.5/game). Dallas led with 59 sacks (3.8/game). These stats are hardly going to give the defense too much power. Where a defense will matter is when they can return a turnover for a score or run back a kick. That’s hit or miss.

Do you think Heath Miller (6 pts – 67yds) or Bo Scaife (4 pts – 48 yds) should have more points than either of those 2 great defensive performances last night? (Tenn 4 pts, Pitt 3 pts)

It’s always been my belief that a scoring system should be set where every position has somewhat of an equal value forcing a manager to really look hard at every position. But that’s my utopia. This is Cheesy’s league and we have to play his Whey. LOL

Good advice Johnny! Can you tell me what to do too?

Hmmmm. Let’s see. You’ve got a good team with one big problem. Week 5. LOL Looks like the Lab Rat will benefit from that one. 6 starters on bye with only 4 bench players. Should be interesting to watch who you pick up or if you’ll just throw up your hands that week.

Campbell will get you by for week 4 but you’ll have to find another QB for week 8. Or is Campbell there for when Brady’s knee folds like a flamingos leg and he’s done?

I know you were disappointed with the news of Lumpkin and I can only imagine the sorrow you felt when Ruvell got the pink slip. Don’t let it get it to you. Jordy, Jones and Swain are still available as well as Donald Lee. FurBall has high hopes for Finley, so he’s not there.

I’d say your one weakness is the RB situation. Hopefully Grant has a good year. Parker always seems to lose the goal line love. Sproles, although decent, is still a backup. If LT goes down, things could look real good. McFadden is in Oakland with a RBBC.

The week 7 showdown has you favored. GB plays Cleveland. I’ll try to improve my team by then and give you a challenge. Add a point for the sacks and my team would crush you. LOL

I think this year will be a long one as I only know a few players that were drafted to me.

Your team doesn’t look too bad. QB’s are the question mark. You never know with Palmer (Could be good if he stays healthy). Pray that Garrard throws to MJD instead of handing off. And I wouldn’t bank on that Cleveland Defense. First time I’ve ever seen TE Brent Celek drafted. The Eagles just picked up TE Alex Smith, so Celek is the only TE on the roster that knows the system. Either way, I still wouldn’t start him over Tony Gonzalez. Plus they both have the same bye week (4). I’d dump Celek and use the bench spot for someone you like or another TE that has a different bye week.

Cheesy – That kind of sucks that you changed you mind about the sacks. I made the recommendation and you made the change on Friday the 4th. Based on that, I adjusted my draft order. The Mouth of the North opens his trap and you change it on the 6th. I was up in the north woods for the labor day weekend and couldn’t do much about it. I even asked that you finalize your changes before the holiday weekend. I’d suggest that next year you finalize all setting and scoring changes a week before the draft. My sack happy defenses aren’t looking as good as I had hoped. I’ll deal with it. The one late change you did make that I was excited to see was the -50 pts. What made you change your mind?

This sucks, we are in Vegas without a computer and my phone can’t get into the league site. Do I have at least a player in each position?

VG – Your team is good to go except for the kicker. You drafted Garrett Hartley from NO who is serving a 4 game suspension. I say your best option would be to pick up Carney who is kicking in his place and was just released by SirC and the Nerds. He has to clear waivers and will be available on Saturday the 12th.

Your other kicker is Phil Dawson from Cleveland. Remember, this year you should have 2 starting kickers. It’s not mandatory, but it would be like fighting with one arm tied behind your back. You could keep Hartley, but would have to pick up a third kicker and drop one of your bench players. At this time your 4 bench players are:

Julius Jones RB
Lance Moore WR
Ted Ginn Jr. WR
Anthony Fasano TE

I’m sure Cheesy can handle whatever you decide if you can’t make the adjustments yourself.

Do we want this? Yes or no?

What is an offensive fumble return touchdown?

Sure. Give credit to the guy making the score.

How about adding this for the defense:

Sack – 1 pt
Int – 1 pt
Fumble Recovery – 1 pt

I don’t mind at all having 2 QBs, Ks and Ds. In fact I ended up doing that last year with my QB problems and to get around the bye weeks. I think if it’s set up like last year, everyone would be free to do what they want. If not, anyone not liking it, will just have to deal with it.

Fury – It’s always wise to keep 2 QB’s, K’s and Defense. The difference this year is that you start all 6 of them. If one of you QB’s is on a bye week, you’ll have to bench him and pick up a 3rd QB. This is a big difference from last year. Last year we had 9 starters (QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, Flex, TE, K, Def). This year Cheesy is looking at 13 starters and 3 bench (QB, QB, RB, RB, RB, WR, WR, Flex, TE, K, K, Def, Def).

Just think, if you have 4 guys on a bye week, you can only pick up 3 guys to fill their shoes. One of your bye players will have to start. Could you image when Mouthman’s team, which usually consists of 7-8 Packers goes on their bye week. He might as well chalk that one up as a loss.

This type of setup will be a first for me, but sure ought to be interesting. It’ll be interesting to see how things play out.
