Is there not enough actual football? Is this like Dungeons and Dragons? So many questions.

lumberjim · 09-10-2007, 04:41 PM

no, there is NOT enough actual football. no, it is not like d&d.
the only thing more annoying than fantasy football players is fantasy football playa haters.

I need to pay attention to my team. After weeks of neglect, they got out there and bit it for me. Way to go guys!

Flint · 09-11-2007, 12:39 PM

I just want to be clear... how is it not like D&D ???

jester · 09-11-2007, 12:42 PM

i've never played d&d - this is actually the first time i've ever played ff

Flint · 09-11-2007, 12:47 PM

If you're building a team of characters, to compete in imaginary battle, based on statistical attributes, then you're playing D&D.

Jocks are supposed to hate Nerds (according to Homer) so I don't know what to make of this.

In D&D, you have complete control over your Player Character's actions.

In FF, you have no control over the actions of the team members.

There are other obvious differences, but I believe that one is the most substantial.

and....no dice

elSicomoro · 09-11-2007, 07:00 PM

And, we're all way fucking cooler as a whole than any group that plays D&D. No offense to those folks...it just is.

Looks like the Lumberjim family had the closest games this week. Jim and I were close...it was literally down to the wire last night, but the Sycamores prevailed over the Bullies 87-84. Jinx and the Girls kept it close as well, but Ep and the Vacancies eked out a 124-121 win, thanks to a huge day from the Vikings' defense.

Give me a name that's better than A.J. Feeley, and I'll consider dropping him too. But you can forget that whole "decide who to start each week" nonsense. You're lucky I bothered to figure out how to trade for a free agent. I'm going to spank all of you without making an effort--that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

so...you still have feely starting.....and uh...he had surgery today.

FANTASY ANALYSIS Unless you're a Donovan McNabb owner and have him on your team for some insurance, Feeley should be ignored in all Fantasy leagues.

looks like someone else got grossman. try again, k?
