Vern hopefully you make it into the playoffs. Cause honestly whoever's coming out of the NFC is winning the Bowl. So I'm hoping I get to face ya again. That's right AFC. Ya ain't winning it. Not by a fucking long shot. It'll be a NFC team that kicks your ass in the Bowl. Perferably, I want it to be me, but we'll see how it goes. I mean, I did lose to Banky after all.

40 pts. Manning has to put up numbers like Collins and Volek and you'll have points taken away from Manning by your own defense if you aren't careful. Although, for some reason that worked with Harley winning his game so you might get lucky.

I did the caculations for Serenity and he's only got 61.9 pts. He needs at least a combined 40+ pts. Its possible, but I wouldn't bank on it. Oh, btw, congrats to Gotham for taking out Paper Tigers. Score's like 97 to 90 (rounded, as I suck with getting defense right).

Actually its 70 pts, but who's counting? Edit: At the time of the caculation made I currently have: 112.39 pts in total with Vinatieri still to play. I've never lost when I've scored over 100+ pts. This is a good sign.

Yes, yes indeed. settle down, fucker. Uh, no. I won't settle down. GO OAKLAND GO!!!

OMG IF OAKLAND WINS BY 3 I BEAT CAROLINA! I CAN STILL WIN! I THOUGHT I WAS ROYALLY FUCKED! GO OAKLAND GO YOU BASTARDS!

Hey Foreign Objects, I'm in the same boat. I have Ruben Droughns and Tatum Bell started. Lelie has done nothing and the Pittsburgh's defense only put up 4.25 points. So congrats to Serenity for knocking me out of the playoffs. BTW deadline for handing in Keepers or changing them passed yesterday. Hence I do have a couple of teams that are up for grabs as I received no keepers from them. I will post up stuffy concerning all this.

Bah... Another loss for me this week. Wonderful. Lose that overall lead Flik. Awesome stuff... I'm a fucking moron lately.

BTW, if anyone would like to ... ahem ... "preview" Negima, I can "lend" you it.

People who love manga. You must get Mahou Sensei Negima (a.k.a. Magical Teacher Negi)! This is like, so freaking good. Sure, its Ken Akamatsu, and sure, its harem comedy; but dammit. Its just fucking great. I honestly need to buy all of it. Like, NOW. God willing, I get a shitload of money for Christmas to buy this. Its freaking awesome.

But the Ring's wraith WAS Sauron's wraith. The Ring was forged as a piece of property that would dish out what its master had placed of himself into the Ring.

Well, this deal was unexpected.

Meh, I'm late posting in here with best wishes and all that.

Gollum had been under control of the Ring for centuries. By then, he was nothing more than a shell for the Ring to use at its will. For him to suddenly break free after all that time, would be a cop out. He wouldn't be able to break free until the Ring was destroyed. Hell, even then it would take him centuries to pull himself out of the torment of what he has done while being a slave to the ring and even then it would be no guarentee that he would find gain redemption. Hell, if Frodo who bore the Ring for just a few years couldn't get on with his life and eventually left everything he cared about speaks clear volumes of what would've happened to Gollun if given the chance to fully be free of the Ring's corruptive might. Edit: Only way I'll watch any of them is all together, back to back. I can't STAND reading a story, or watching a series and for it to end in the middle of things. I can't just pause, I need to finish it or I go nuts.

Still doesn't address their need for a better relief staff, nor does it help them in the long run as Randy's got like 3 years left. If that.

No, no. You had it right mostly. It's just sacrificing and Madness are the one and the same. I must've made an error with how it was said. No biggy.

You know, you have an EDIT ability to modify your posts... I'm not taking these down till December 31st, 2004.

To the people who have voted, please read the fine print. This is just to ensure we get a game of the year that wins pretty properly. NFSU the original wasn't included. And don't worry about the blind voting, just make sure you vote in almost every category you can though, as these will determine which game wins Game of the Year Award. No write in votes. If no one put it in, it didn't get included. You should've been in the original thread to change that for Best Soundtrack. Because I was accepting any knock outs if you wanted them. BTW, I fixed three blunders I made on the voting. Fable was supposed to be apart of the Best Xbox game, and NFSU2 was supposed to be apart of Driving (how the fuck did I knock that bastard off?) and for some reason I had Pro Evo as Pro Evo 2005 when it was supposed to be Pro Evo 4. My bad people, my bad. I apologize for that. And no, just because I'm fixing MY blunders, ain't meaning I'm adding games or writing in stuff. It is, as is people. Anyways corrections made. Sorry for the confusion caused.

Uh... Patriot. You've got 3 players scheduled for Madness picks, yet you say only two are. Wassupwitdat?

Just turn OFF the signatures. How's that for a solution?

Predictions: Raw Benoit Edge Batista Shelton Benjamin Smackdown E. Guerrero C. Guerrero Booker T Big Show

Well yeah on him not being in the majors then... I'd like him to get a second chance, but I'll leave it up to Corbin to make the decision on to whether or not he wants to take my offer.

Hey Evo... Is there some way you can use your ... ahem ... Godly powers to ship Corbin to my team and get him the DH spot? I mean I find it sad he's never been in the big leagues yet.

Naw, its ok. Just wondering if that was the problem or why no one did this. If the first part was the original problem, that can be easily fixed. If it was something else, I'd like to know.
