Lightning Flik

7-3 Carolina Panthers from a 1 yard pass to Hoover.

He wasn't touched, so he got the extra yards. Fuck! Favre for getting sacked. He's costing me points in the Keeper League. I'm so glad I traded him. ...yeah, you heard right. He's not on my team after week 1 fellas.

For KKK's Pick'em League: I need Green Bay to win or be within 3 points. TSM Keeper League: I need Favre (for only one week), and Green to show up and produce. And Muhammad not to kill me. TSM Meat Madness League: I just need Steve Smith not to kill me. Other Keeper League: Meh. I doubt I can lose it. Of course, I was rooting Green Bay regardless. And so far it looks like running ain't going to work in this game.

Rant, you might not believe this, but I missed that. I will correct you though as I've been around, not much but around. Short story is that I've been bothered by life recently that I can't really control yet fret about because that's who I am, and I'm also currently working on my Phase 1 Project (I finish that and I'm 1/4th of the way through my course) so it's been taking up a lot of my time as well. Such is life though. Oh I'm making the playoffs this year! SO MAKING IT.

The more I'm looking at that Green Bay vs. Carolina game, the more I'm beginning to think I'm going to lose.

It's called Square games just have been in decline since FF7. That and other games have stepped up to be on par or better than Square. All there is to it.

Andrew, Andrew, Andrew. We all know that it's ruined to the point that beyond a miracle, it ain't being saved. Hell, I don't even know how we could have a sequel to it.

Yeah... That would be an idea. Would make the playoffs more "valuable" to those that make it. Although, owners and players would object because the "fans" lose out on seeing their team in the playoffs. Stick him in Winnpeg wearing a Jets jersey. So much better than blasting him in space.

The above stats will be what will be used for next year. So for those of you who still have to name your four players (remember, can be four batters, pitchers or a combination of that), you now have a better idea of what you need to decide on. Edit: I totally forgot to add the rosters: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF, UTIL, SP, SP, SP, SP, SP,, RP, RP, BN, BN, DL, DL And the draft order (per round): 1 - New Team (as Small Red Machine was inactive) 2 - Gotham Jokers 3 - Fear The Slayers (still wishes to participate) 4 - Wart Wackos 5 - Serenity 6 - Crimson Storm 7 - NuclearSledgehammers 8 - Brockvegas Posse 9 - Pawtucket Red Sox 10 - Night Rangers 11 - 100% Guapos 12 - EL KABONG~! Slapnuts 13 - Fear The CHECKLIST~! 14 - Rebels of Oakland 15 - The Worst Team 16 - Chicago White Sux Double Edit: About Keepers: Although, I wish to have keepers by the end of the week, it's just so that I've got four down for next season. You'll have until Dec. 20th to modify these keepers at any point, so please don't feel forced to make a choice on keepers. You will be allowed to change them at that point (say if someone suddenly retires or something). But please at least get your keepers that you would like at the current time, so that I have something from you to show that you will be willing to return to the league for next season.

Really? Well that's quite interesting how we picked almost the exact same except for Green Bay vs. Carolina. Edit: Yeah, I corrected myself, but forgot to fix the original statement on the bets... I couldn't sleep last night again. So please excuse a blunder here and there.

The number beside the team means that team must win by a difference of that score to get a win. If it's a 3.5 spread, the game must be at least 3 or more for the team to get a win, otherwise the losing team still gets the win. So say Tennesse (2.5) at Miami is the game you are looking at and you've taken Tennesse while your opponent has Miami. For Miami to win, all they need to do is win. However, for Tennesse to win, they must win by more than two points. If not, your opponent still collects the win.

The season is over and the playoffs just started. By now you should have an idea of who you are keeping, for the above reason that raza stated, and just to get it securely done and over with and not having to worry about getting it together

Why six? Is there some special reason? Oh, and I've already got three people's keepers, so snap to it people.

Would WHIP be fine? Man... I should've just said, "Al, please post what you believe the stats should be and I'll go with that." Anyways, does everyone like his idea of: Hitters OBP, R, RBI, HR, SB Pitchers wins, saves, strikeouts, ERA If so, we'll go with this.

Yes. That is one of the changes I was making, raza. No worries. BTW, congrats. Looks like all those trades with me paid off for you in the end. I am willing to take any and all suggestions. Here's are the stats for next year (stats that are bolded aren't returning): Hitters H/AB, R, H, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, E, AVG., OBP. Pitchers (Teams must at least have 35 IP next season or no stats) IP, W, L, CG, SHO, SV, H, HR, ER, BB, K, ERA, WHIP. So we've 17 got stats. Still these are subject to change. Now that I've thought about it (actually was talking with HQ) I'm changing something, it's 4 keepers people (no regards to hitters or pitchers). Why am I changing that? Because I suddenly realized that the only way you'll be able to keep the nuclear function of your roster, and besides, it still makes it hard for you to choose who you are going to keep, and besides, it's not really fair if I ask it of you to split them apart. So go nuts.

I traded in my GBA and games to buy two games (although, I'm short ten bucks to get the other ) and I'm none too happy I sold them all. Well, at least at first. So all I got right now is Phantom Brave, and my God is this game addictive as hell. None of this stuff is spoilers, as you learn everything pretty much off the bat. No worries people. You play as this Chroma (Mercenaries) duo, Marona (an 8 year old girl with the abilities to see Phantoms and summon them) and Ash (a young man who is a Phantom that died along side Marona's parents [<---that was not a spoiler, happens right off the bat people]); as the duo try to just get by in their world of islands. Anyways, what makes this game so much fun are battles. You see you must confine Phantoms into objects on the field of battle. Depending on said objects, you get increases and decreases. If you put your character (a fighter) into a rock it grants him strength, health and defense, while sapping intelligence, speed and resistance. While this is great for fighters on the other hand their turn comes less than say if you put them into a bush (which has almost the opposite of rocks for stats). Well, you might think that's not a big deal except the fact your Phantoms disappears after FIVE turns. So that makes it even more difficult to decide on. Do you do the hit and hit more often? Or hit and tank? Adding to this web of intrigue is that if you equip the character with anything that counts as an object (which includes dead people/phantoms/monsters/etc.) that is not actually in the field to confine them counts as two spaces. While this might seem as a draw back, it is also a good thing because you can then use the disappaited Phantom's equiped whatever to confine another Phantom. Also there might be a certain object on the field that increases other objects/people's stats and can add or pain you depending on how it is directed in battle. If your enemies get bonuses, the best course of action is to slaughter the the object and then proceed with decapping your enemies. Unless you wish to be cheap and just knock the guy out of bounds (off the field map), but that only works for regular guys. The out of bounds isn't really a good idea to do though, unless you face super weak monsters. If the guy you knock out of bounds is the same level or above the rest of his friends on the field, everyone will gain a level for that cheap hit you laid. What happens if your guy gets knocked out? Notta. So try not to get yourself O.B.ed. If you use the Random Dungeon Generator guy to earn titles (titles basically alter stats for your characters) and get into some random dungeon, it's a good idea to pay attention to the resitricions on the levels because you might not be abled to equip stuff, you might have to fight with only magic, or other insane stuff (I just recently had a random stage called "Close Call" and everything is a bitch to kill). What makes this game even more fun is that everything can gain levels. While people gain XP, the equipment gain mana. This means that wimpy sword you got might not be so whimpy if you level it up to 12. On top of everything leveling, you can also combine everything to. Got two awesome swords? Why not combining both awesome swords to create the UBER SWORD! And that way you can wreak havoc on your baddy foes. Or if you want all the techs that can be taken from a sword and have them always at your command, you can take the sword and merge it with your character and VIOLA! Guy who now can use some fo the sword skills (and has the swords stats too!). Or you can take two characters and combine them to get a UBER GUY (Ash and Marona will stay themselves no matter what you do with them, just so you know). Oh and stats can go up to 9,999,999 or so I heard. So much to talk about. What else? Oh yeah. You can also buy weapons, but there is a catch. Your merchant must gain levels in order for you to buy better equipment. Yeah, that's right. You must take the pitiful Merchant into battle to let him gain a level so that he'll have new stuff to sell you. The story is entertaining and fun. Like you have Ash comment on Marona's cooking is bad, and Marona defends herself, whilst Ash replies with something like, "So you meant to burn the pasta in flames then?" Definitely a combo of laughs and seriousness (the whole game is about differences and learning that someday people will accept you), but only one annoying thing about it. I wish Ash didn't say his catchphrase so much, "You'll go no further. For her sake, I will not fail". Damn thing is stuck so well into my mind. While the graphics aren't the greatest (I prefer Disgaea, seemed a little more polished) it still has a nice manga like feel to it. I must say though that the characters in the game are much more impressive than I thought they would be. But that's more or less it about the game. Hopefully, I'll find a way to get $10 and see if SO3 is worth a purchase.

Why is it I always end up depending on ONE fucking game? That I usually predict wrong in? ... *sighs* 0-1 record, here I come.

BTW, to everyone in the H2H league. Sorry I haven't been around to answer questions and such. Congrats are in order for Chicago White Sux, The Worst Team, Rebels of Oakland, Fear The CHECKLIST~!, EL KABONG~! Slapnuts, and 100% Guapos (wtf?! He made the playoffs?). Hopefully you guys will make it interesting down the stretch. BTW, I can't do anything about waivers during the playoffs. Zip, zilch, nadda. If I had access to every team, I possibly could do so, but otherwise, it is fair game. Also here's the stuff I included for next seasons keeper league: Oh and about the playoffs... Don't look at me, that's how yahoo sets the damn thing up.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't TSN a subsidery of ESPN? I mean they both use Sportscenter and all... Just saying. Oh and Summit Series wouldn't be included if it's only 20 years. It's 1972, TSN didn't start till 1984. So yes, Summit Series will not be #1. Most likely double gold will be.

If they fired one of them, wouldn't the other than be on thin ice? I would at least assume so.

Here's a list of girls I like: Valkyrie of Valkyrie Profile Lulu of Final Fantasy X Morrigan of DarkStalkers Felicia of DarkStalkers Lyndis of Fire Emblem

Might as well say that my personal favorite is Motoko Aoyama of Love Hina. Not like it'll kill me later.

I'd laugh if #8 knocked off Miracle on Ice.

You know Raza, you might want to tag Flik by Dorian Sookochoff. Might help people know who the hell Dorian is.

He'll probably go to the CFL and most likely a Eastern team if he is really concerned about the travel (since the East teams don't move all that much).
