1961

Oh no! Not Boston Legal for Tyler “No, not the character from Charlie Brown” Thigpen!

1962

Defense GameFlow is nuts. I agree. Too many blitzes. Fun at certain times tho.

1963

Guys - I called 3x as many run-plays as you’re seeing. But with my horrible run blocking I audible to the pass when the AI lines up to stuff the run. I know it’d be funny to see me have as many negative yards rushing as you guys have going forward, but I do want to win my games. :)

Furthermore, I have a very injury prone defensive line-up. By game’s end my top 5 defenders are sitting on the sideline. So I keep my defense off the field as much as I can.

Last - if I were spamming, don’t you think my receivers would be leading the league in receptions or yards? I urge you to sort the receiving column for catches. I stand in the pocket, get sacked quite a bit, throw INT’s, call over 30 unique offensive plays every game - I’m about as far from a “key-play” guy as you can get.

1964

Well, I don’t ever intend to use Thigpen, now that I’ve got a rookie wunderkind who can go toe-to-toe with Henne in INTs, so I may as well let you have him.

1965

Childan, I’ll be on Friday evening!

1966

Heh, I won’t be able to make it then, man. I’m good Saturday morning/afternoon or anytime Sunday, just give me a time and I"ll be there.

1967

Matt Perkins and I played our typical nailbiter. I moved the ball better on the whole but tossed up three picks, kicked two kickoffs out of bounds (I blame Perkins’ pre 20th century internet for that), and Perkins had a nice KO return for a TD. End result was my defense having to stop him on a 4th and 10 to win the game 34-27. Good game, I am sure the next one will be just as exciting.

1968

The online server being down is really annoying since I can’t see how long I lost one of my LBs for (broken jaw so I am expecting probably half the season). Can we turn on FA signing on league manager? I need to grab a depth guy at least.

1969

Sean Witherspoon, broken jaw, 3 weeks. (the iPhone app is working fine)

1970

Done. I’m not entirely sure it will work but give it a shot.

1971

Yeah, jaws are never that bad. They just re-wire them and send you back out.

1972

Yeah, 2-3 weeks is pretty average recovery time from my experience. The lower jaw gets a pretty decent blood supply so it heals really quickly. Maxillary fractures, not so much.

1973

Please do not show me that at this point in time.

1974

The fantasy league is starting this weekend. You are all welcome to join up!

This league will be connected to league manager and have stat tracking, contracts, free agency, and a salary cap.

1975

You have no idea how much self control it takes for me NOT to join. But I can’t dedicate the time for two Madden games each week with all my other stuff.

Damn you, responsibility!

1976

Depending on how on the fence you are, you could always claim a team and participate in the draft this weekend, but then drop out until you have more time.

The league will be running awhile, so I’d hate for you to have second thoughts down the road and have to use a team the CPU drafted.

1977

I will draft a team if you want me to, though I probably won’t play in the league. But if you want people drafting teams, I’d gladly do so. Enjoy doing that very much.

1978

Saturday afternoon around 3pm PST should give us plenty of time to get the game in before the Fantasy Draft.

1979

Panzy ass football players. In hockey they come back before they can even eat solid food. Strap a weird looking face shield on and suit up!

1980

It takes a while but works, thanks. Kind of wish you could see UFA attributes before you sign them but I at least got one stop gap guy for the next few weeks and shuffled in another MLB as well. I may add and drop a few guys just to get an idea of attributes so sorry the transaction spam.
