Yeah I knew Cross Chargers had his eye on Winn, and he had just sold off his team so he's got money to burn.

But man that was a lot of money he just burned.

Looks like I need to read the other forums more often! Yeah, it was a lot to spend on Winn but he has a chance to be a special player if I don't screw it up. It's not too often you find a player like that and I somewhat feel I got a deal after I saw what Long Leach went for.

I do think this market is here to stay for a while. Lots of teams have horded money and I believe the tax on balances over $25M will keep the crazy purchases coming.

That's kind of what I'm worried about too. A few seasons ago I'd have been able to buy a whole team with the money I have, but now I'm just hoping to get one quality player out of it haha

I may sound like a sore looser... But I continue to loose games where my team has better ratings. Mostly when I don't have HCA which makes me think. Starting to get frustrated.

To me it looks like his coach decided that the Sungrazers were up by enouh in the fourth quarter that he could bench the starters and let the backups play. That's why you won the 4th quarter, and it probably led to his ratings dropping overall. I've seen my team do the same, I'll be winning, and then the starters are pulled and my low paid backups eat the minutes to end the game which leads to a big drop in my team ratings even though we still end up winning.

Not in this case. There was never garbage time in this game. He actually had a bit of a comeback in the 4th. I was pretty concerned as I saw it take place, actually.

I also was curious about how it looks like I probably should have lost from a ratings standpoint, yet still won.
I've seen it happen before here and there as well, and my super fancy theory is that ratings don't tell the whole story.
I agree that home court probably has something to do with it as well.

Man, Stuart Vereker is one tough cookie to contain. He drilled me with 41 points! My only way to go around that was to just score even more haha. Impressive that he's homegrown too, you should BB-Mail Isaiah about his chances at the NT.

And if folks are interested, I will again make my weekly toungue and cheek prognostications for the Tourney.... :?

What happened to this??

Will do it this week, no time last week. Will come out Tuesday after games or Wednesday, depending on work load.

Welcome to another addition of Div II.4 Tourney Survivor

Unfortunately in this game there are no immunity idols and there are those lurking teams that will CT you when you least expect it.

And like last year, I did not get a report out the first week and someone fell by the wayside….. looks like the Leopards flew the coop thus putting the Great 8 in the lead 8-7.

BTW, Last years winner was the pwnstrz

Now to this week’s games. Ok, only the real games…. If you can’t beat a Bot….well go directly to Div V do not pass go do not collect your TV money....


Flash Mashers at the Div IV ExplosiveBubbleWrap (0-4) – I see the Mashers flashing by in this one…

PuffPuffPassPass vs Div IV Morgantown Mad Dogs (4-0) – Tough one here as the Dogs have the players to compete (97K center in Div IV) but will they with 3 other teams at 4-0 in their division…..so prediction is that Puff passes the Dogs with a stronger than usual team for a 2nd round tourney game.

San Diego Eagles at Div IV CC Mavs (4-0) – Another tough on as the Mavs can field a solid team, prediction, Eagles soar with a solid lineup over the Mavs.

Note: With PuffPuff and the Eagles fighting it out in their division at (1-3), anything could happen….as that Tourney vs League trade comes to mind but is only week 2 so they will do what they need to win.

Eloping Cantalopes at Div III New Bedford Nasties (3-1) - Even with the Cantalopes in full on rebuild mode, meaning they could field a strong team here I see them being left at the altar this week and the Nasties advancing.

Serenity Valley Browncoats vs Div IV Columbus Rocketeers (1-3) – The Browncoats serenely ground the Rocketeers this week.

Work in Progress vs Div IV NE Revs (2-2) – Too much Work for the Revs (only 8 players) this week, WiP advances.

Beware of Dogs at Div IV Boston Marksmen (2-2) – Marksmen keep missing as the Dogs run away with this one.

Everyone else has Bots – Good Luck all!!


PS – Please understand this this is entirely tongue and cheek and take nothing personal…..no disrespect to any of you fine coaches

Been playing this game since 2009 and never have more than 5m in the bank. Man, do I feel poor seeing all these money flying around the TL.
