If I added this all right I think I got 1st and 4th....That Walker TD sucked it cost me $20,000 but you know what I don't care if I got 1st and won $100,000

Got to readd this 10 more times!!!!!

It does not matter why the NFL charged it to Wells and not Bradford, the fact is the fumble was charged to Wells, and it has not been corrected.

To overrule the official NFL stats like this is absurd. Does your league review every single play and make their own determination about how a play should have been scored?

In short, it is absurd it even got this far, you are being screwed without lube, and regardless of the outcome of this sham of a vote, there is no way that I would be returning to this league.

Note to self: As assumed, most huddlers take this hobby way too seriously.

Oh the hughmanity, an agreement to do what one wishes with their own money that was rightfully won. Simply asking the commish/treasurer to distribute differently to save the extra step (and in the case of paypal, possible added expense) of distributing the money. I really wish I had your stress free lives that something like this was an actual concern. Or maybe I should just be thankful that I treat this as the fun hobby that it should be, and making a little money can be a nice bonus.

It's all about reducing volatility. I'm not playing for mortgage money in any of my leagues (other than FFPC, but again, the money used to buy in is budgeted and not affecting my lifestyle), so none of the winnings that I stand to gain in any of my leagues are life changing or would go to serve any purpose than to maybe see me hand it to my wife so she can go to the spa or something. Other members of the league may not be in the same boat and have a greater need for the money or it would be more significant for them - so no big deal. I'm primarily playing for the pride/challenge of winning the damn league, the money is nothing more than a little icing on the top. I am in two championship games this weekend - both in BOTH leagues - one is the Huddle California league - winner is scheduled to get 270, 2nd place 150. If my opponent wanted to split it say 200 each and winner gets the extra 20, who the f cares, we're still playing the game out for the bragging rights of being the champion. MSHB is a league where the buy in is for charity and we play for pride - and I am actually much more interested in winning that league because it is an 18 team IDP league, and I am far from being very IDP knowledgable, so the prestige of winning that league does mean a lot more to me than the potential extra $120 for winning the Cali league.

I have to admit, I'm actually surprised, though I probably shouldn't have been, that people would actually take offense, and be adamantly opposed, to the idea of two owners agreeing to a different distribution of the prize pool that is mutually beneficial to them once they reached the title game.

Now you're only someone that I used to start.

Roddy White?

A VERY Happy Birthday to our most valuable Huddler!!

But most of all...celebrate the beginning of FOOTBALL season!!




Love ya man!

TimC scored a 46. But he took the WonderTrek test. Missed 2 questions because he was busy trying to strap his Shatner cardboard cut-out in the Vette.

whomper scored a 2. But he took the WonderPoker test. He only got a 2 because he got credit for signing into moneymakers.

skylive scored a 48. But he took the WonderMusic test. Missed one question because they asked about a song made after 1952.

perch scored a 6. But he took the WonderCrat test. After the test he drew down on the sheet of paper.

detlef scored a 0. He thought the test was an essay exam, and was still writing when the proctor came around to collect the tests.

irish scored a 50. But he took the WonderFantasy test. Aced it.

brentastic scored a 0. He took his test, rolled it up with some good Colombian gold, and smoked it.

If you have ever gotten an unfriendly reach around you'd know it.

Generally happens in jails and in Mexico on buses

Why would the Jets release him a month ago without knowing how the draft was going to play out?  They did exactly the right thing for the team and for him, by waiting until they had a replacement and then letting him go immediately thereafter.  If he has talent enough to compete on any other team, then they will pick him up to compete regardless.  You know that signing rookies and UDFAs doesn't guarantee anyone a roster spot.  So if someone even halfway likes Tebow, they will bring him on board just to see if he is better than what they now have.  The Jets already know he is not, so bye bye.

Speak for yourself.  You need to work on your sponsorship of your live scoring and roster pages.  Lucas Oil ought to be all over that.

Leon Hall pays me $3 per yr just to roster him.  There are a couple guys that should be paying me triple that, but they'll go unnamed.

I think if you gave Matt Spaeth 180 real dollars he would clean out your garage

I like the strategy of bidding less for players, it's very creative

As a Pats fan, I've been trying to take a step back and not over-react to the Welker news one way or the other. Here's what I think went down. Last year NE offered Welker 2 years for $16 mil. He turned it down. So they franchised him at $9 mil ($9.5 mil? whatever it was) So this year they look at what they would like to pay him and come up with a number at or below the 2/16 number. Why would they expect he'd take that after declining it a year earlier? Being franchised has meanwhile pissed Welker off, as did being phased out the first two weeks of the season. Only Hernandez's injury really put him back on the field. So I think Welker decided then he wanted to test free agency, thinking he could get a big money deal on the open market. The Pats were right about this part, that deal was not out there for a 32 year old 5-8 slot receiver (GMs continue to value size and speed over production). But at this point it didn't matter what NE offered him, he was pissed that they weren't paying him for past production (because he can't possibly think he'll be this productive for another 3 years?) and he was determined to leave. Once that big money deal did not come yesterday, he decided to stick it to Bill. What better way than to sign with Denver for a contract NE could have easily afforded?(although I can't imagine NE signing anybody to a fully guaranteed deal, ever). Fans are saying, why did they let him go? The better question is, why did they piss off Wes a while ago to make him want to go? Today's events were inevitable based on prior events. I don't think there was a contract they could have offered that would have go this done. You can't make somebody sign a contract that is pissed off and wants to leave town, regardless of the $$.

T'eo 4.81, but to be fair he's running with an imaginary weight belt and parachute combo

Disagree. We don't destroy John Fox for putting the ball in Peyton Manning's hands at the end of regulation to try to get the ball into FG range. We destroy Peyton Manning. If the shoe was on the other foot, we would destroy John Harbaugh instead of Flacco. Denver brought Peyton Manning there to help them get over the hump. He can't do that kneeling down with 31 seconds left and two timeouts.

I don't understand how John Fox isn't responsible for all of this. He is the head coach. So Rahim Moore screwed up. Did a coach get in his ear before they took the field saying let NOBODY get behind you? Should Moore know that? Probably. But when a player makes a mental mistake like that (and let's face it, by then the deep ball had already burned Denver twice), you have to look at coaching to some degree.

John Fox is the most sacless coach in the NFL. People crucified Belichick for going for it on 4th and 1 or 2 at Indy years ago. I say to hell with that. He was trying to win the game. Fox made decision after decision that shows that he would rather play to NOT lose. And that, to me, is nutless, cowardly garbage.

I have never felt so disgusted with a Denver loss as this one. Ever. What sort of message does he send his offense by saying "kneel on it"? I'll tell you... it's a message that says "I don't trust you". Look what Atlanta did with just about the same amount of time against Seattle? Granted, Atlanta was down 1 and HAD to try to get into FG range. I agree wboleheartedly with Spinal Tapp's assessment about the 3rd down play where they called that pussified vanilla run. Baltimore was looking for the run. They knew it was highly likely to be a run to milk clock. Grow some freakin' marbles and run a play action pass there. Worst case - tell Peyton that if it's not there to take a sack and punt so you still get your precious clock milking.

This was the exact kind of coaching I feared when Denver hired Fox - a gutless, conservative decision maker who plays to not lose. I seriously don't know how "risk aversion" and "NFL head coach" can coexist.

BTW, did anyone think that Peyton's INT was almost EXACTLY like Favre's INT against the Saints in the NFC Championship game in 2009? Scrambled right, awkward cross body throw left. I cringed when he threw it even before it was picked off. Really bad decision, and unfortunately a situation that never should have even happened if not for awful pass D and nutless coaching.

...that I got engaged over the weekend.  Will probably get married over this upcoming summer.

Did anybody really miss it? I was actually kinda glad there wasn't a game on.

I haven't been a regular payer for content. Just being honest here. I was here for the people. As those people rapidly disappear to suit the next guy who feels his commish ripped him off by not letting him have 24 hours to rethink his own trade proposal. Or for some bitch who is as loony a conspiracy theorist as they come, then it is just time to move on.
Politics is not the problem her IMO. The problem is that DMD and WW lost enough control over this site when they sold it that it has become a shell of it's former self. Sometimes it just needs to be about more than just the money. USA today and what this has all become.
Someone who still has half a brain needs to go back and reread Sky's travels after he lost his best friend. The love and good times that were poured out to him in his time of need. While you are at it reread all that is written about the struggles and pure generosity that unfolded after Katrina.
The people you idiots are banning are the very people who allowed you to sell this fucking thing in the first place.
I will find a way to keep up with my Both leagues. Outside of that I am out!

tbimm

DMD/WW. You have to weigh a persons contributions vs their transgressions IMO before a Permaban is implimented. I understand that its gotta steam WW's nuts when he sees himself referred to as a chick but we have always busted balls on this site. WW founded this place with you. I dont think he gets the tip of the cap that he should sometimes as it seems the Good cop was given to you and the bad cop was given to him for some reason but permanently banning the guy who personifies a true huddler isnt the answer. Hugh One carried your Advice forums for years (I know many others like BC etc were hugh contributors as well) Hugh has 35,000 posts and everyone of them either made you laugh, told it to you straight, gave you advice or busted your balls. I have seen people here do much much worse and get a slap on the wrist or at least a warning. Im pretty sure Hugh took a shot at WW with the expectation that WW would look at it in huddle terms. We all bust balls and we all key on the thing that annoys the person or that the person is famous far. Puddy-Tire, Sky-age, me-my enormous penis, nuke-grammar. I guess punches should be pulled since WW is one of the jefes here but I assume Hugh threw it out there as we all do to each other. An IP ban is excessive considering the good infinately outweighs the bad with Hugh One. He is one of the most stand up guys on the boards . Im not saying he should have free reign to say whatever he wants but I would hope he can certainly get cut some slack

It kills me to watch the huddle die out . Chopping down a cornerstone member is gonna be the final straw for many people here. Thats not a threat, its just reality. I know the young 20 year old fantasy junkies are maybe financially worth more than the old guard but never forget our contribution and loyalty to this place .

Last night was a night that my wife and I are very very proud of. We finally got to see the finished product of something she filmed and she was terrific.I was so happy for her to get a chance to watch herself . I told her before the film that last night was the payoff for all of her hard work. The film ended up being a short film with hopes that someone will pick it up for a feature. The dvd should be available before the end of the year. The film was just under 20 mins but she didnt lose any of her lines. She had about 5 lines. Her first line actually brought the first reaction from the audience because she was so snotty . We were thrilled to watch her and the movie was very enjoyable . The whole cast did a terrific job. There were a bunch of child actors and it was so awesome watching all of them see themselves on film. I watched their reactions as much as I watched the film. When the credits rolled and we saw her name roll up on the screen my wife and I just looked at each other and smiled. My daughter watched the movie with her castmates and when it was over we hugged and complimented the heck out of her. So many people approached her and the cast to congratulate them. She felt very special. She was so polite and humble. Just a phenominal night. We may have some hugh news within the next 3 months with a new project . Ill keep you posted. Thanks again for all the well wishes
