Congrats to the Midnight Ravers for what may be the timely pickup of the year.

Just 17 minutes before game time, they pick up and start the Defense for the lowly and struggling Tampa Bay Bucanneers. Other owners might be concerned that Donovan McNabb and the mighty Eagles offense is coming to town, but the Ravers were not deterred. And, sure enough, Tampa rewards them with 3 picks, a fumble recovery, a sack, and not one but two defensive TD's.

Fortunately, he was kicking my ass even without those points, or I might have to be pissed.

[mangoon]

Could be worse , I put up a whopping 40 points this week, and thats with a team of starters. OUCH!

[Amy Winette]

Hmm, so, what are the standings now? I think Jeff & I have now lost twice, but perhaps we're still winning? ;)

[jhjpotter]

Hmm, so, what are the standings now? I think Jeff & I have now lost twice, but perhaps we're still winning? ;)

we have an outside chance of winning this week if terry glenn and julius jones have huge games tonight (51+ points together total), so our chances are not looking good. I told you we kept catching teams during off weeks.

Thanks a million for that score...I thought for sure I was losing this week!!

[mangoon]

Thanks a million for that score...I thought for sure I was losing this week!!

Lol. Anytime.

[Amy Winette]

I actually meant overall win/loss standings. Are we still in the lead?

[mightyradgumbo]

Oh, man I think I am in the toughest division in the league. All locked up in the pack with SoCal and Dank while CBH keeps the one game lead. Tough battle against Ohio won, next up Swag. I have to hope either Samko Gado has a big day or Swag mails it in, neither of which I think is happening :eek:

[Carolina Beadhead]

I just lucked up this week. I think Zggirl was out of town. She had 2 starters on bye and I still didn't win by THAT much.

None the less, it stills goes in the Win column. :cool:

[Amy Winette]

Oooh, CBH & ShakeIt tied with us. Who is ShakeIt?

[jhjpotter]

I don't recall... Swag help?

[mangoon]

Shake it would be jodied, who gave my team a spanking of epic porportions this past week.

[mightyradgumbo]

What ya say, Mangoon? Jodie is giving out spankings? ;) I keep losing in my office pool to keep winning in the league, just don't seem fair.

[Amy Winette]

Oooh, a mighty fine opponent, hope we are ready this week. (I would point out that 2 of the top 3 teams are girls, and I would also like to claim that our team is half girl, but I really have nothing to do with it) ;)

Man, I am suckin'! I'm in first and second in my other two leagues...I swear.

That's right kids...line up for your spankings!!! Who's next!

[jodied]

Man, I am suckin'! I'm in first and second in my other two leagues...I swear.
This is your week to redeem yourself!!! It's not looking good for me! Guess I better finish giving out those spankings before the 1:00 kick off!

[Carolina Beadhead]

This is your week to redeem yourself!!! It's not looking good for me! Guess I better finish giving out those spankings before the 1:00 kick off!

Well, I'm all set.

May the continued use of "the force" help me for another week. Amen.

NEXT week is gonna be my hard week... McNabb's on bye. :eek:

[Michelino]

Currently the Lovers are favored by one point over the Ravers (http://10608292213.football.sportsline.com/scoreboard/live/preview). But I am thinking that if we can't beat a team that is without a quarterback, might be time to bring in a whole lot of free agents for next week.

[Carolina Beadhead]

Well, I'm all set.

May the continued use of "the force" help me for another week. Amen.

NEXT week is gonna be my hard week... McNabb's on bye. :eek:

http://www.nojazzfest.com/chat/images/icons/icon13.gif Ok, so the force didn't help me this week. And I think McNabb stayed at home today.

[mightyradgumbo]

Hopefully, Mr. Brady will play a good game to ensure a win for my 2ndliners. It looks like Dank and the Ravers are on their way to another win as well. That would set up a three way tie.

[Michelino]

the Ravers are on their way to another win .

Geezsh!@#!

132 Points scored WITHOUT using a QB. (Why me, what did I do to deserve such embarrassment?)

Thanks, Michelino. I don't feel quite so bad now.

:eek:

[ohio]

another week, another loss....:(

[jodied]

Can I gloat this week? PULEEEEEZ! Another win for me but it looks like my streak is coming to an end :p

[ohio]

If you must.....you are in 1st, I am in last:(

[dank_bass]

I havent had much free time to make it to the boards recently, and I show up only to see my fantasy football prowess admired in the first post I look at. I thought long and hard before making that click to acquire the Bucs D last week Swag ... Chalk it up to a hunch, I was considering leaving it empty, as most of the available D's looked like they might go negative

Our division is tough ... expecially evident by the fact that Im 4-3 with by far the most points scored in the league (part of that is bad luck with who plays who each week I suppose)

133 points this week, and I forgot to start a QB ... watch out everyone

Oh, and Sorry our Ravens did that to y'alls Saints ... sincerely ... Im pulling for the Saints in the NFC, just not yesterday

[Amy Winette]

I think we had a really good week -- did we?

[mightyradgumbo]

I think we had a really good week -- did we?

YYR, Amy-You were winning going into tonight. And my boy Brady is lighting it up in the first half WOOHOO

[jhjpotter]

thank you larry johnson!!

[mightyradgumbo]

That's right kids...line up for your spankings!!! Who's next!

I guess it's time for my spanking, J. ;) Hopefully I can hit a Voodoo shop when I am in NOLA and have a spell put on your team. :D

BTW, BC is back up to 3rd in the Hockey polls-We are coming to get your Blackbears and take back the top spot :p

In Your DREAMS Gumbo...my boys are #1 and that's where we are going to stay! Care to place a wager on the November 19 game? Oh yeah and NO VOODOO spells on either of my teams...I fear my winning streak may be coming to an end all on it's own.

[mightyradgumbo]

Certainly, my Maine-iac friend. My boys lost to the Friars last night so they are going to be getting dogged in practice from here on out. Whats your bet?

[swag]

For anyone who hasn't logged onto the site in the last few days, heads up.

The deadline for changing your starting lineups is now one hour before kickoff of the first game (noon EST this week).

It's not clear to me whether players from the late games can be switched out before their respective game times, or if the noon deadline is final.

[jodied]

Okay Gumbo What did you do? First my Boyz get a tie instead of a win Saturday night to that Boston team and now you've kicked my butt on the football field! You need to undo the voodoo!!!!! :eek:

[dank_bass]

I Love LT!!

[jhjpotter]

I Love LT!!
Yeah, LJ doin his thing again this week too!!

[mightyradgumbo]

Okay Gumbo What did you do? First my Boyz get a tie instead of a win Saturday night to that Boston team and now you've kicked my butt on the football field! You need to undo the voodoo!!!!! :eek:

hehehe Marie Laveau and I go way back, J. :D Actually didn't find out any results regarding hockey until I got back. As far as football, I was worried going into tonight that the Seahawks were gonna get cocky against the Raiders, but luckily I bought the extended voodoo plan.:p

Okay, you win Gumbo...now call off the voodoo...at least on my Hockey team! Bishop was still on fire...even with your nasty spell!

[mightyradgumbo]

Okay, you win Gumbo...now call off the voodoo...at least on my Hockey team! Bishop was still on fire...even with your nasty spell!

ok, ok I will call it off on both the football and hockey teams, unless we meet in either playoffs then I dunno if I caint help hexing ya ;)

[dank_bass]

Damn Bryan ... I just squeaked by!!

[Amy Winette]

I believe . . . We won again?? :)

[jhjpotter]

I believe . . . We won again?? :)
league leading 7-2 mark, but there are 3-4 teams that have more total points and consistently put up more points than we do, so I'm not sure how we've managed this record to this point.

[Carolina Beadhead]

I believe . . . We won again?? :)

And I won... even though I forgot to switch McNabb out for his bye week. :eek:

[Amy Winette]

Maybe everyone else should just quit now -- hee hee :)

[dank_bass]

Yeah Jeff, I had the opposite going on for a while, I was 2-3 with the most points scored in the laegue at the time, its all who ya play in what week

[mangoon]

Hey Gumbo- you were only going with the week long voodoo curse , I hope.

[mangoon]

Gotta tell ya Gumbo- I will definately sacrafice a fantasy loss for a J-E-T-S win . I hope :D

[mightyradgumbo]

Well, you got it Mangoon. 1st time my Pats have taken back to back losses in almost four years. I will take a win todaybecause I know we will win the division later:p

[jhjpotter]

I Love LT!!OK Dank, the LT / LJ rematch is on this week!! Only thing is, LT has only gone for a maximum of 75 yds in Denver in his career.... Heavyweight matchup!!

[mightyradgumbo]

OK Dank, the LT / LJ rematch is on this week!! Only thing is, LT has only gone for a maximum of 75 yds in Denver in his career.... Heavyweight matchup!!

OK, here's the deal...I need you Potters to take out Dank and I need Jodie to take out CBH then first place will be mine (that is, of course, I win hehehe)

[Carolina Beadhead]

OK, here's the deal...I need you Potters to take out Dank and I need Jodie to take out CBH then first place will be mine (that is, of course, I win hehehe)

HEEEY!!!

And I used to LIKE you best.... :p

[mightyradgumbo]

HEEEY!!!

And I used to LIKE you best.... :p

Sorry, CBH...got caught up in the heat of the battle hehehe

[Carolina Beadhead]

McNabb's out! I'm doomed! (Make that MORE doomed!)

Ack!!

[jodied]

McNabb's out! I'm doomed! (Make that MORE doomed!)

Ack!!
I don't think you're doomed today! I'm having a horrible run of bad luck...all Gumbos fault!!

[mightyradgumbo]

I don't think you're doomed today! I'm having a horrible run of bad luck...all Gumbos fault!!

my fault? hey, I am rooting for you to win this week.

[chicagomike]

I am not in any fantasy leagues this year but if I may chime in... The Chicago Bears just won two in a row at the Meadowlands and are playing in Foxboro next Sunday. What ya think Rad? Are the Pats gonna beat my Bears?

[jodied]

Did the Potters (GASP) Lose (Gasp) this week?!?!? Your winning streak was lasting a bit to long! :p

[Amy Winette]

OK, here's the deal...I need you Potters to take out Dank and I need Jodie to take out CBH then first place will be mine (that is, of course, I win hehehe)

Gumbo, don't think we helped you out this week! CBH, sorry about Donovan :(

[Amy Winette]

Did the Potters (GASP) Lose (Gasp) this week?!?!? Your winning streak was lasting a bit to long! :p

Hmpfh! ;)

[Carolina Beadhead]

Gumbo, don't think we helped you out this week! CBH, sorry about Donovan :(

Yup. Gotta figure out something to do.

Jodied! How the hell did I win with 44 POINTS?? We had the lowest scoring game this week! :D

Maybe I'll just keep playing Jodied instead of the rest of you....

[jodied]

I stink!!!!! That's how you win with 44 points. It's looking like it's only going to go downhill from here for me! It's all Gumbos fault...that VOODOO HEX...he never took it off my teams!!!! I'm DOOMED I say...DOOMED!

[Amy Winette]

Now, that's not very nice Gumbo, Jodie was rocking before you hexed her! ;)

[dank_bass]

Who beat who?? I just got here, what happened? Did some team thats been on a long losing streak get beat or something??

[Amy Winette]

Hmm, I don't know, now who could have possibly beaten us??? Impossible! Oh, wait, everybody but Larry Johnson sucked.

[jhjpotter]

and the salt in the open wound is that dank didn't even have a starting quarterback in his lineup!!! DOH!!! Myteerad, could you put a hex on tomlinson? not ony did he destroy us montara t-head, he also creamed my beloved broncos!!

[mightyradgumbo]

Now, that's not very nice Gumbo, Jodie was rocking before you hexed her! ;)

Now, just for the record y'all-I only hexed her for the game against my 2nd liners (well, and maybe the BC-Maine hockey game :o ) I wanted Jodie to win this week as she was up against one of my rivals. I am summoning the spirit of Marie Laveau right now to call off the hex (Sorry J ;) )

2ndliners is indeed me, Amy. Even though McNabb is out, I am not overly confident as my man Mr. Brady is going up against the vaunted Bears Defense.

Looks like what goes around comes around, Gumbo!

Shouldn't have rooted against me in the previous games, my friend...

:D

Now that I've gloated, I'll admit I just KNEW I was going down today. In fact, I didn't even look at the scores until the games were over because I was sure I had been trampled. Man, was I SURPRISED!

[Amy Winette]

Well since we weren't playing you this week CBH . . .

Woo hoo! :)

[mightyradgumbo]

Well, David Carr did what he was supposed to do for you. My team had all kinds of chances to get it done and just didn't do it. As close as the game was, if it were not for the 2nd half my boys Brady and Watson had, it would have been in the books for you by the end of the 4 o'clock games.

Now, I am in the unenviable task of a 1-3 division record, being a game back and facing Dank's vaunted offense.

[jhjpotter]

Great game swag!! Close to the very end. THank god vernon davis busted that long run after the catch in the niners game!!

[Amy Winette]

Sooo . . . Did we win?

[mightyradgumbo]

Well the playoff are set and my 2nd liners are going up against the Montara Theads. Jodie's ssshakeit, with a big 2nd half in last night's game, meets up against Dank's Ravers. I am hoping Mr. Brady decides to remove his head from his gluteous maximus or otherwise my playoff run could be very short. Good luck to all and thanks to all for a great season so far.

[mangoon]

Wow! My team blew epic chunks:( . Good luck to all in the playoffs. Go central division;)

I am not counting any chickens before dey hatch-You still have Houzmanzadah and Graham going tonight against a pourous Indy 2ndary

[jodied]

Congrats GUMBO....nice to see an Underdog win! I however had my butt kicked!!!!

Sorry Potters...a tough loss! I'm telling you that Gumbo has the power...once you've been hexed you're doomed!

[mightyradgumbo]

Congrats GUMBO....nice to see an Underdog win! I however had my butt kicked!!!!

Sorry Potters...a tough loss! I'm telling you that Gumbo has the power...once you've been hexed you're doomed!

Thanks, Jodie, I will really need the hex to working overtime next weekend as Dank and his midnight ravers have beaten me three times so far. I will see what Marie Laveau has to keep Ladanian Tomlinson in check ;)

[dank_bass]

In my other league (for $ prizes). I am in the Super Bowl, One win next week, and I win $1000 ... I also have LT in that league so dont hex him too bad, OK? There are some cold cold beers in it for ya next year!!

To everyone else ... CongratulitsbeenfunImsorryation!!!!!!!

[dank_bass]

Is the second round two weeks long?

[dank_bass]

Is the second round two weeks long?

[Amy Winette]

Well, I guess we couldn't pick a nicer person to lose to :)

[mightyradgumbo]

Is the second round two weeks long?

Championship is just one week, Dank. Hopefully you will be able to win the other pool without a big effort from LT :D I need to break the two game losing streak I have with you.
Amy, the way y'all cruised in the regular season, I thought for sure my season would be over.
Great season, everyone. It's been fun.

[mightyradgumbo]

Well down by 8, going into 4PM games and Dank has LT to go yet. I need a great D effort by Philly but TO to have a big game. Looks like the voodoo is wearing off. Oh, Madame Laveau?????

[mightyradgumbo]

Not gloating or anything ;) but the voodoo did its thang-the Gumbo Hex has worked once again and my 2ndliners are the champs.
Hope though that LT did enough to get Dank the cash in his other league.
Great Season Everyone!

Very fun season, already looking forward to next year.
