0 Subject: Survivor Week VI

Posted by: Shak
- [481029813] Wed, Oct 12, 2005, 18:43

Special thanks to Joe for pointing out my typo last week. I have since fired my editor and promise no more doubleheaders for the Iggles. I think my typo may have even confused Philly, as it looked like they were saving their energy for a 2nd game. Oh well, we all lay eggs some times.

JBC: It looks like it could be a catfight between the usual suspects in the JBC – bottom feeders RBP and Reaper – and maybe one of the big dogs, too.

RBP: Did RBP just delay the inevitable? RBP is like the guy at work that does just enough to get by. However, unlike the military, his future doesn’t hold a promotion, but rather a boot (and I’m shining it up now). Big Ben’s playing status isn’t that critical because he can always get average QB points from Harrington (until Garcia replaces him). Of bigger concern are four RBs with problems. A Green and “MIA” Moats on byes, Suggs injured (again), and Foster playing second fiddle. Anyone ever see the movie “Christmas Story” where the father (Darren McGavin) receives a prize in a crate marked “fragile” and pronounces it fra-jil-lee (must be Italian)? That should be Suggs nickname. There’s Fragile Fred and now we have Fra Jill Lee Suggs! Sorry about going off on a tangent, just thought that was amusing. Back to RBP, once again his fate will be hanging in the wind until MNF, when he will undoubtedly need Harrison points to live to see another week. //Editor’s note: the actual pronunciation was “fra-jil-lae”//

Reaper: Kris is hoping that Shaub’s impressive outing doesn’t give Mora an excuse to leave Vick on the bench another week. Vick’s typical 10-point outing could be crucial with Losman relegated to clipboard duty. Jamal and Caddy will have to garner 20+ points each to bolster a rather weak WR corps of Evans, Lelie “Sobieski”, and McCareins (Boldin on a bye).

Tribe: The Tribe will need to circle the wagons this week with no QB points (McNabb on a bye). Just when DD starts producing, it looks like Mike Anderson could be losing more and more touches to Tatum O’Neal, err Bell. If Horn and Housh can’t play, the Tribe will need a big outing from DD on Sunday night vs. (gulp) the Patriots.

Joefut: 2nd ranked and one week removed from immunity, Joefut makes the list due to injuries and byes. He has two injured players (Engram and Andre Johnson), two on a bye (Driver and Rackers), and one riding pine (Staley). That leaves him with only five bodies and one is a banged up Mike Williams (not one of the Williams sisters!). Luckily for Joe, he does have two studs, one is LT and the other is Bulger (facing Indy in a MNF shootout). I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if it came down to Joe and Scott on MNF.

Head: Head thinks that RBP just prolonged the inevitable with his 32.5 points last week (20 from Big Ben).
Heart: You gotta root for the 2nd ranked team to exit when he’s vulnerable!! Joe must go!! //P.S. This is not personal and has nothing to do with your critiquing my column. J//
Gut: The gut says it comes down to a MNF shootout between Joe and Scott. Fortunately for Joe (and unfortunately for the rest of us), he’ll have Bulger and Curtis, while Scott will only have Marvin. Bye, Scott.

ECC: Last week was somewhat of a gimme as 2Cool was 2Hurt 2Continue. This week is much tougher to call.

STB: STB is next to bottom on the totem poll and missing two players (Gore and an injured “Green” Akers on bye). Unfortunately for Tim, most of the remaining players have tough matchups (but luckily no doubleheaders). Lord Byron goes to Pitt and the three Vikes (Moore, Bennett, and Wiggins) head to Soldier Field, where the Bears are hoping their defense plays a full 60 minutes this week. Looks like STB and his Irish could get cracked in the same week. If so, then STB could be Singing The Blues.

LR: LR looks vulnerable this week. McNabb kicked off his bye week with a stinker last Sunday. LR faced a double whammy in that game as Julius suffered an ankle sprain. If Julius can’t go, LR will have a donut at QB and only the Bus at RB to go with a (mediocre) cast of thousands at WR. As we all know, WR points are either hit or miss, which means LR could be Leaving the Rock (sorry, best I could do on short notice).

Tribe: Unfortunately, I don’t think any other team with initials is in jeopardy. Therefore, Tribe makes a repeat appearance on the list. His troubles come by having three on byes (TO, Duckett, and Longwell) and the aforementioned Fra Jill Lee Suggs. Luckily, the Tribe planned for losing Longwell by selecting Elam. Brilliant! The Tribe will also get decent QB points with Plummer and “Phyllis” Dilfer. DD is the lone point-getter at RB for the Tribe (unfortunately for the Texans, he’s the lone point-getter on their team also). I’d hate to have the fate of my gonads hanging on DD on a week the Texans have to play the Pats.

Shak: Let’s hope this is not my week to go because then my enthusiasm for making these stupid predictions could start to wane (and I know at least the Trashman enjoys it). I have to list my team because I have been living on the edge with Jamal Lewis’s pathetic start. Hopefully, he turned the corner last week, although Billick may have lost control of that team. I should have decent scoring at QB with Vick and Eli. I’m thin at RB with “Toejam” Toefield and the “Beast” Jacobs scoring once every blue moon. At WR I’m hurt by Burleson’s injury and Lloyd’s bye (although every week is a SF bye as long as Smith is at QB). I may be hanging by a thread going into MNF hoping for some Holt love to save me.

Head: Head says Tribe’s being disbanded. I hope not because I just love my new nickname for Suggs.
Heart: Heart says LR must go while McNabb enjoys a week away from TO.
Gut: Gut says STB will be Singing The Blues for the Irish and his ECC team. Sorry Tim.

Yeah, great stuff!

I was looking at one of my other teams that has Dom Davis and saw that he goes against Seattle this week. NE isn't even on their schedule. That is probably even worse news for Tribe because NE has been giving up some fantasy points to RB while Seattle has been fairly stingy.

The Autumn Wind

The Autumn wind is a pirate
Blustering in from sea
With a rollicking song he sweeps along
Swaggering boisterously

His face is weather beaten
He wears a hooded sash

With his silver hat about his head
And a bristling black moustache

He growls as he storms the country
A villain big and bold

And the trees all shake and quiver and quake
As he robs them of their gold

The Autumn wind is a Raider
Pillaging just for fun

He'll knock you 'round and upside down
And laugh when he's conquered and won.


I hate it when it is not football season. I hate Tuesdays and Wednesdays during football season. I hate most Thursdays and Fridays during football season unless there is a good college game on.

Its ok Shak, no offense taking, but I think I will be on this island for a while longer if YOU don’t mind. Plus its fun to read your posts. Hey, but its far better to have a target on my back then struggling week to week. As far as my NFC champion Eagles go, one bad bad bad bad game a year is allowed, it happens to the best of us. I think that was the first lost against America’s Federal Penitentiary team in more then three years…so I can handle it. As far as Andre Johnson goes…huge disappointment for me, I think he has gotten me a total of eleven points all season and when are the Steelers going to let the DUCE LOOSE…start using Staley, the eagles will take him back if they are going to just sign him and sit him.

This is the only league I have to look forward to here in lonely ole Kosovo (sniff, sniff). My other leagues all suck. Who would think that a team with Green, Holmes, Westbrook, Green and a Philly D would be 2-3 in my other league? (Only ten teams in that league) Hey Craig your boy Ramushy is a free man now……….you coming back to Kosovo soon and do you want me to pick up your memory stick.

Shak the Skivvy 9's are in the dorm next to me. Had to chuckle when I saw that because you mentioned it previously. And what happened to my BBM rotation? My #3 starter locked into the #1 spot (Haren) and not Rogers then the Unit? Your fired, but I appreciate the help nonetheless. Going to get my internet service hooked up as soon as I leave the Library, should be up and running sometime between the Sunday games and MNF. Take care, Scott

Guess I was just a bit off with my STB call in the ECC. STB is challenging for immunity this week. Reaper and Tribe are fighting for their lives based on the early games.

In JBC, Clyde picked a good week to have immunity -- he's stinking up the joint. Reaper and Tribe in trouble here too. They have company with RBP and GCobb. Should be close.

Reaper and Tribe with the possible double whammy.
BigEd safe again, with his usual 75-90 points.

Very unpredictable this year, Big one week, lousy the next, hard to get a hand on who's really good and who's really hanging by a thread.

JHHH, Mario and Trash look like the real deal.

Good luck to you boys sweating it!!!

This could go many different ways. How is my crappy team still alive? Amazing to me, that's fo sho!

ECC looks like the Reaper is deep doo unless SJ pulls an Alexander and gets a group of TD's. Hey how about LT? He's good.

Get computer access in my room tomorrow and I have excel so all of the excuses are out the door. I will however be at work during the games so we'll see how that plays out.

Tim and anybody else who cares. My sons football team finally won, 14-8 in triple OT. Longest game in our towns Pony League football history (2.5 hours, usually closer to 1) and their RB had a league record 34 carries (with 8 minute quarters that is alot). Held the other team to 12 yards of offense. Somehow, despite being 1-4 they get to play in the 3rd place game because of tie breakers we won over the other two 1-4 teams. Crazy season.

There is an awful lot of red (injured players) on the spreadsheet. By my count, we had 4 QBs, 11 RBs, 10 WRs, 1 TE, and 1 K if you count Akers, who's on a bye. 14 out 18 teams in the JBC have at least one player injured, including all 5 eliminated teams. It's 13 of 18 in ECC, but three of the five healthy teams are dead (if it's possible to be healthy and dead). Harnmon had incredible bad luck with injuries. He has 8 players that were out this past week with injuries, and that's not counting Warner and Franks, who are on byes, and S Moss, who got banged up yesterday.

The injured list will probably grow for next week's games as Griese, Horn (who I didn't count as injured), and Moss will probably miss time. Others that could miss time are Delhomme, Duckett, Kevin Jones, and Drew Bennett.

Looks like I'll have immunity in JBC, but could be on the next ferry out of the ECC if Holt doesn't play and SJ gets a couple of TDs. Go Colts!

Ednecks...please dont say Mario is the real deal. If you knew him like me, you would be Pi$$ed off every week that he survives like I am. Him winning this is like Lisa Simpson picking the NFL winner on the simpsons based on the team names and colors. Anyway, both Kosovo boys are still around which is a drastic change in comparison with last year. Anyway, thought this was gonna be a tough week for me with the byes and injuries but my RB/WR/QB LT came through for me again. Gotta get back to work.

Joe, "The Truth shall set you free". Look out, I'm having one of those years. In the finals of two Baseball leagues, won one and lost the other. Two football leagues I'm 6-0 and 6-0 against some pretty talented Fantasy studs. Never count the neck out until it's all over, don't think it's likely to happen in the survivor, much better teams left then mine, except Joe's, but you never know!!

Very, very close call in the JBC between RBP and GCobb. I have GCobb losing by 1 point due to a -2 for Brandon Jacobs. GCobb had two players that did not play due to injury, so I didn't feel it was right to use a zero for either one of them, which would have given RBP the boot. Look it over and let me know if you disagree. Immunity goes to Shak.

In ECC, we say goodbye to Reaper. Immunity for STB.

Hmm, very interesting, wasn't sure what you meant until I looked at the sheet. He had guys who didn't play and he had a guy who did play that scored -2 points. I am involved so I'm reluctant to comment but I would say (after carefull thought) that players that don't play are DNP's, players who play and get 0 points because they didn't do anything to get a point should get 0 points. Without having the rules in front of me I'll go out on a limb and say that nothing in the rules will settle it and IMO Shak did the right thing. I do however think we need some sort of amendment or at least an understanding of what the policy is for the future. This is my 5th year of Survivor football and this is a new one to me. Either way it doesn't matter because both of our teams REALLY SUCK!

As far as the porn goes ED...i have been here 17 months, the porn is even getting boring, so it is easy to pull me away.....just dont knock on my door during "lunch" break. Since SupaMario left on vacation last week I am pretty sure I am the only one working in all of KFOR.....I actually missed the first game on sunday...that never happens. Anyway once the boy genius returns to work after he stops playing daddy and hubby to the family I will get more active on this page. Anyway...what is the extent of the bulger injury. Looks like two weeks..thats bad for me good for you guys. Time for my two euro cents, a zero is higher then negative....zero should count. Even if it is a bye week zero, you pick 10 players based on how they score, if it is a zero they score a zero for that week. Next topic
What do you all think about Brushci coming back this season. I dont like it and it has nothing to do with me not liking the patriots either. I dont know all the specifics but:
he said he would not play this year
he has a wife and kids...and this is just football (sorry about that one guys)
the NFL doesnt need to see a player expire on the field (even though it could happen to any player on any play.
and the most significant reason is the opposing team. It is not fair for someone to have to play agaisnt him, they wont give it their all for fear of causing further damamge..like killing him. Gotta get back to work now, peace out to my homies in the state pen

My immediate thought was that a zero is higher than negative two and injured players score zeros. Bye week players on the other hand are non-scoring because there team is not playing. A player can get injured in the first minutes of the game and score zero (i.e. Randy Moss this week). Also an injured player (unless he is NFL inactive) could come off the bench and score points if necessary. If we wanted to consider all "NFL inactives", we would be doing a lot of unprecedented research. I thought we had a precedent set on this last year, but after scouring the 2004 spreadsheet I could not find one.

Upon further review...there were injured players that dressed and were available, but did not play this week. Corey Dillon being my primary example. Also, what would you do in a situation like Culpepper scoring -2, but the owner also has AJ Feeley who is healthy but sits on the bench (see 2Cool). Plus there are players that scored 0 this week and I don't know if they dress or not??? Horn, Kennison, Bettis... Of course I can only watch a couple of games at a time.

I would be inclined to add suspended players into the Bye Week category and treat them as DNP.

My 2 cents....

I'm not sure either. It's a problem. I would say since we have only ten players to choose from and no other options of picking up players to cover injuries/bye weeks then even the injured/inactive players should be seen as scoring zero. I think it's a bit harsh to give someone a negative score unless that's the top score at QB/WR/RB. Which should only happen to the QB/RB scoring ie: you have one/two QB's and they both score negative points.

I think we vote, since we all have different views and it affects two teams this week.

Hard call to make without a vote. I know quite a few team have already stopped viewing this site, so either way it's a sad way to leave. I'm happy to leave it up to a three man commitee of Shak/JHHH/Joe, that way there is no tie and we move on.

Every time I log on and see Edneck on here it brings a smile to my face. Really! Ok, I’d hate to be responsible for kicking someone off, but it seems pretty clear to me that zero is as much of a score as –2. If we are playing positive scores and negative scores, then zero should count as well. I don’t want to kick anyone off unless it’s Mario. Hey isn’t that in the Survivor rulebook, if an issue between zeros develops the fool who picked Tom Brady in the first round is kicked off. Kind of funny someone is lobbying for a zero score though. I’m going to need some sympathy from you guys with no backup now that Bulger is gone for a while. Lucky for me I used my draftsmanship expertise ands slotted no bye weeks for the week I knew Bulger would be down and out. Looks like the green trade is working out for you Edneck….for now.

Below does not specify that the player have to be active. If an amendment is needed we should make one for next year. Will I still be invited back? Anyway as stated below, I perceive it as even if your “best lineup” consists of an inactive or suspended player that is still better then a –2 by definition of the term “best lineup”

The league rules had an overriding motto to keep it simple. We draft only 10 roster spots - which is still decent depth considering there are 18 teams - and from the 10 you will start 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR/TE, 1 K and 3 flex-RB/WR/TE each week.

Basically we look at your team after the week is over and see what would have been your best lineup and that's the points you get.

Let's do a vote here. We'll close it in 24 hours. Here are the options:

a) All players on the roster get a score. If they are on the IR, on a bye, or just didn't get in the game, they will get a zero.

b) Players that are on a bye or on the IR will not receive a score.

c) Only players that were active for that week will receive a score.

I think we know which way this vote is going to go, but it will be nice to have it clearly defined. I originally leaned towards giving the -2 points because I also had Jacobs and thought the -2 would come into play for me as I was 2nd lowest. I didn't want to dictate the rule, when I was an interested party.

Having said that, I vote for b. When we do our draft, we carefully plan our bye weeks. When a player is on a bye, he is a non-factor. Same for a player that is out for the year or suspended. They are not available and shouldn't receive points.

B works but I'm second guessing the IR thing. It's impossible to predict injuries.

C would be a scorer's nightmare and this is supposed to be a low-maintenance league.

No way to counter Injuries/Bye weeks by picking up players and in a normal league you can use a player that's on Bye in your active lineup and recieve zero points...no difference here!!

Last thought on this. The rules say to keep it simple. It is more simple to give a 0 in place of a -2 if there is one to give. Boot me, give Cobb back two points and lets move on. I think it's the right thing to do.

FNAS, he also drafted the guys with no points and the ones on bye week's also. I can live with either decision zero points or negative points.

RBP the vote is in the works, let that decide your fates, both arguments are legitimate. I think everyone invovled can live with the final outcome. Both teams sucked and both deserve to go help Mamma out with the washing up and a few curtains need ironed on Sunday.... RBP, Nice gesture anyway!!!

In case my previous post doesn't count towards a vote, I vote A.

Ed--Okey Dokey. The good thing about this whole situation is that my team and Cobbs both equally suck and the "winner" this week will probably go down next week regardless. I can't imagine how ugly this could get if it was between two contenders, I admit I'm a pretender at this point.

RBP, I would like to congratulate you for your sportsmanship. You are a much better man than Mario or Ednecks for that matter. The only person nicer then you is JHHH. Gerry a.k.a. Mario when you come back don’t forget the subway sandwich. Make it a chicken sandwich, with this flu running rampant and maybe in FYROM we shouldn’t eat chicken here. I have a feeling this will be my final week in JBC with Bulger out and LT going against my hopefully much improved Eagle D. Gotta go. Good bye Canada!

24 hours is up and here's what we have:

a: Edneck, TB
b: Shak, FNAS
c:
d: JHHH, Trash

Others:
RBP: "keep it simple."
Grim: "I also concur, rescore to 0 versus -2."
GCobb: " It really shouldn’t matter why they scored 0. The bottom line 0 is greater than -2 and that’s what we should be counting."
STB: "I agree, should get the zero versus -2."
Clyde: "A zero is higher than negative two. We should be taking the top score from that position."

How do we break the tie?

In the interest of keeping it simple and moving on, I'll change my vote to D. When we draft, we do have control over spreading out the bye weeks of our players. It's easy for the stat boy to know who is on a bye, but no so easy to track who is on the IR, who is out, who suited up and didn't play, etc. Therefore, unless there is a strong objection, here is the rule:

Players on a bye do not receive a score. All other players on the roster will receive a score (zero if they didn't play).

GCobb has been revived and RBP is now sleeping with the fishes. Welcome to Korea.

Good work Shak, that is totally fair by me.
