Prepare to die, abandoned Raiders!

Hey guys,

I’ve been messing around with MyLeagueManager in preparation for a possible fantasy league, and Cold Shoulder had the good idea to set up an instance of that manager for this league just for deep stat tracking. It will do power rankings, yearly awards, players of the week, and even Pro Bowl teams as we go along in addition to the stats we normally see in the game.

If you are curious there is a sample league you can see here. PM me if you are interested and I’ll make a login/password for you as an owner.

That franchise manager thing looks pretty spiffy. I would be willing to give it a go.

Mightynute · 2011-02-08T07:50:50.000Z

All right, AFC East? Glad you’re all here. I think we need to have a little sit-down talk.

New England, if you could just wait outside for a moment.

Okay. Buffalo? Miami? I am reminded of the statesman Cato the Elder, who would end every speech he gave in the Senate with the phrase “Ceterum autem censeo, Carthaginem esse delendam.” - translated as “furthermore, I think Carthage must be destroyed”. With this incessant call to war, Rome did indeed declare war on Carthage, razed it to the ground, and advanced the concept of total war in military science.

Gentlemen, therefore it is my belief that the New England Patriots must be destroyed. I call attention to their offense: Tom Brady, Jamaal Charles, Randy Moss, Wes Welker - this is a veritable stockpile of WMDs that we cannot let flourish. If we are to have a competitive division, well - Patriots delenda est.

The Patriots must be destroyed.

Okay, New England? C’mon back in.

Just wanted to say that I’m looking forward to all of our divisional games, and we’re going to have some good clean football this season.

Ceterum autem censeo, Carthaginem esse delendam.

Is there a way to view Potential on the website?

dailin_kal · 2011-02-08T08:00:42.000Z

I don’t think there is unfortunately.

Yeah, when you click on one of your players under the “team” tab, the potential is listed after the “Player Attributes” title.

Yes, I – one moment, please, finishing up a call. Yes, Mr. President. Full use of the – yes, yes, of course. Highly confidential, it’s understood. Who’s here? Oh, no one of any consequence. Yes, Tom is good. He and Gisele say hello and thank you for the super sold – yes, yes, of course, almost forgot myself. That could have been awkward! Will you be joining Meghan and I for dinner? You will? Fantastic. We’ll meet you at 2100 tonight. Tell Michelle I said hello. Thank you.

Sorry, gentlemen. Is this important? I need to go oversee Tom’s usual… practice, yes. Practice. Good season, happy you’re all here, make sure your affairs are in order, and so on.

And Mr. Nute, you should really get that verbal tic looked at. Slipping into dead languages at random? We’d hate for you to become more… personally acquainted with the ways of the dead. Just a word of warning. How is Darelle’s knee, by the – oh, there I go, forgetting where I am. Haha!So embarrassing.

Good day to you all.

I must break you.

Well now this is a fine how do you do.

Man, was just watching Rocky, sorry! Fingers slipped.

Excuse me, Mr. President? Yes, another one for the list, up in Buffalo…

Matt_Perkins · 2011-02-08T09:45:27.000Z

NM, I see him now. Had a strange sort on that league manager. I am silly.

BroadwayJoe · 2011-02-08T09:48:42.000Z

Hmm. I just checked FA, and it looks like Crumpler is still there.

It’s pretty nice, I love the idea of a “player of the week/mo/year” award.

Could I get a screen shot? I’m not seeing this.

Sorry, I was confused. Did you mean the EA website or the LeagueManager site?

Erik_J · 2011-02-08T10:29:48.000Z

Oh, either or at this point, but I didn’t look on the LeagueManager site, so I’ll go look there now.

EDIT: Bummer. It doesn’t appear to show the new guys Potentials. Or their stats for that matter.
