Joe why you want to pick on little old Ed? What have I possibly done to deserve it..He He!!

I think we need to get rid of JHHH while he doesn't have immunity. I guess when we lost RBP and Shak the life went out of the party.

Me and Joe try to entertain, but we's not that funny!! Plus Joe is from Philly and thats just downright sad...nothing funny about that!!

Thank you overtime! 10 points for L.T. and 11 points for Curtis (his only catch of the game) in overtime. I think that may have given me another week in the JB league! Now ECC is another story. Kaeding killed me with the missed FG's. Ednecks...Im from South Jersey....I guess that makes it even worse that I claim philly teams. Poll time, whats worse; NJ or Philly. Four Vicks....I mean picks for Brady..gotta love it. Gotta watch the Eagles make a playoff push.

KICKERS! Anyway...hope I can get a TD from WARD to knock JHHH out of his misery in EC. My team should not have made it this far based on the fact that Martin is not putting up any numbers and TB forgot they have Pittman. By the way JHHH, thanks for the humanitarian goods. However I guess the US NSE changed their policy so you cant send stuff to that address anymore. I will send you the new address when I get it. I got my A$$ chewed for those boxes. I still dont understand why. You remember how it was here. Anyway thanks though. Gotta get back to work.

Once a Cowboy Always a Cowboy!


DALLAS (AP) -- Former Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin was charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia after Plano police officers searched his vehicle during a traffic stop.

I could be suffering from an eagles victory hangover, but I think there is a little math problem in JB.
Tomlinson 44
A. Johnson 30
Shockey 33
That is 107 by itself with out the 11.5 from curtis or 11 from M. Williams, or five from Rackers.
I believe I have 134.5 and immunity, why are you giving JHH these false hopes?

Sorry for knocking you out JHHH, not sorry about the immunity, I needed that due to the fact I have no QB again. hmmmmm. Immunity without a QB, now thats skillful drafting.

Joe you lucky SOB. Well, losing in the JBC should have happened to me and Superclyde before now. Not sure how the Clyde keeps on keeping on, but that's the beauty of this format.

Losing JHHH in the ECC was big, having no QB hurt him. Good luck to all that still have a team left and who knows from now on it's probably a crap shoot unless your Joe, he looks destined for greatness!!

Lucky is right Ednecks. On the otherhand, since my team was all healthy (knock on wood), such a low score from my team was a surprise. I need Williams to go out partying with Irvin so he gets suspended a couple games and gives Pittman some carries. Sorry you had to go Ed, but there is not enough room for all four of our teams on this island.

I have to admit, I am feeling pretty good about getting immunity for next week. I haven't had it all year and I didn't realize how much I sweat it out in this league every week. By far, the toughest format I have ever played in as far as my nerves every week. I am still hoping I win it all in the one league I am still alive in, but to make it down to 5 teams left (after immunity week) feels pretty good. Mad props to Trash, Joe, and STB for having both teams still alive after 12 weeks.

TB the immunity is really important this far into the contest, I was hoping to slide past you, but only getting one point from Stokely and Reed was a little disappointing. I remember last year we stopped the immunity stuff around week 10? I agree that this format is really tough, all it takes is one bad week from your stars or injuries and even the best teams like JHHH will struggle. Trash, Joe and STB are good fantasy players in all the leagues I played with them, so I'm not surrised they have two teams left...a little luck helped I'm sure, but you can only draft and hope...so Props is much deserved!!!

If you have two teams left you are the MAN! That's all I have to say.

So where are we at as far as the two Survivor teams? Anyone tracking that or see any option for adding an extra twist for next year?

I have one twist…but it would suck to be the victim in this scenario. If a team gets knocked out one week then scores high enough for immunity the next week (not likely to happen, but possible), his team is revived again. However the two lowest teams for the next week are eliminated. Like I said, just an idea. An idea I don’t really like myself, unless Ednecks and Mario are the teams eliminated, giggle giggle hehe.

Another idea that would be good (but not in this league I like the set up too much, especially this year) is that when a team is eliminated, his players are put on waivers that that can be traded for by the other teams. The catch is that the teams that can pick them up are the 10 lowest active ranked teams overall (or for that week), in order from worst to best (if you can say that). If you don’t want to pick one up you don’t have to, you turn is then skipped, giving an additional team an opportunity to pick someone else up. In this format, lets say I was eliminated (knock on wood), some lowly team no one fears like hmmm… Ednecks could pick up L.T. and suddenly become a favorite. I think this would keep people more involved in the game and on the message board.

I think this would be good if we were making a third league, like I said I like the format for our current leagues.

Gotta go boys!

Joe thanks for the kind words. The whole idea behind this survivor format was to keep it low maintetence. #1 we need the final scores supplied by a site. Adding players after someone loses is not a good idea. The only other twist I can think of is all ten of your scorers count in your final score. You would have to limit the QB position to two players Max. this would make a difference in how you draft and most everyone would select QB's a little earlier. You can take 5 kickers if you want? all the other positions are not limited on the total amount of players selected.

QB's-- 2 player max
RB--no limit
WR/TE--no limit
K--no limit

Not much of a change, but this would make the draft a little more interesting and having all ten players score could make a big difference in the final outcomes. I know this only makes the QB and Kicker position a little more important, but I don't think we need a total rehaul on what we already have.

Keep it simple, #1 priority is a site to add up the numbers for us. I wonder if we could use CBS and just have two 18 team divisions? I wonder if a 36 team league is even an option. All we need is the totals. Set it up like a Total Points league. Dunno, we'll see.

I like the format now with just seven scorers. With all the injuries, exiles, demotions and what not in the NFL, most teams will not have 10 scorers by week 10 of the season. I think for most teams it will not really make a difference. Anyway, if we did this I would not limit the QB to just two per team.

Smart drafting. 32 NFL teams, 32 STARTING QB's, 18 survivor teams.

If someone gets four QB's and Ednecks got kicker happy and forgot to pick up a QB then its his own fault. More fun this way IMO.

I can't think of any twists. I love the format! Why, oh why did Joey Harrington have to let me down? I could complete 10 throws to Roy Williams a game and I guarantee he would score at least once!!!!
