Btw, how much are fumbles in the Dynasty League? Seems to be something insane like -6. I had a lot of fumblers this weekend in that league and was shocked by the poor scores from my butter-fingered players. No matter, we're still in the running to get 1st overall in next year's draft...:whistle:

Trade offer for the Cripplers.

Assaidi Skrtel Agger

Trade offer for Lost Vikings...

Yeah but those projections are done by meth heads. They have Garcon getting 20 points and he won't even play. My only hope is that Calvin's success should be tied in closely with Stafford's. My RB situation is a mess. Percy Harvin is boss though. Fucking Jordy Nelson got 3 TDs last week after my matchup was already won. He could've saved them for this week, but no...

Yes, you're a real RB hog, Kal-El. And here I am playing Blount and Hardesty this week! Christ on a bike. Anyone wants Jordy Nelson, I'd let him go for a starting RB. A fairly good one, like. That mongface Schwartz completely screwed over Kevin Smith this year after only getting 7 fantasy pts against 49ers run-D, (hardly a crime), this after getting 21pts in the first week. He's always produced when healthy. Now he's inactive. Madness. And my low-cost gamble on Best came to nothing too, he might as well retire now, he's finished. Oh and Pierre Garcon and his sore little toe can get fucked too. I'd be doing well to repeat my modest debut season of a 7-8 record at this rate.

You're a funny guy, Carvalho.

33E - not a scratch. Right at the back near the toilets. The stench of shitty arses is a small price to pay...

Is it still being updated? I got it ages ago, but have since wiped the old ipod. It was a good laugh.

Nice. Love Angus.

Interesting, albeit silly, stat. After Monday Night Football's 666th ever game and heading into Week 6, Number 6 Mark Sanchez now has a QB rating of 66.6. He has 6 TDs and 6 INTs, and his longest pass of the season is 66 yards. That's a lot of sixes for someone competing with God Boy for a job...

Enjoying this season a bit more than some of season 2 so far. Love Bobby Canavale's character, Gyp. I also love the casting in this show. I remember Canavale in the film The Station Agent, with the very good wee actor Peter Dinklage (think he's in Game of Thrones, although I've never watched that). It's cool to see these good actors pop up in shows as prominent characters.

Absolutely. Funny, that's how I started getting interested in it aswell. Decided to start doing weights at some point a few years ago - did the standard thing of good carbs for energy and a ton of protein, 5 meals a day (I could never manage the sixth). Gained a lot of muscle, but after awhile I started eating shite along with doing weights, - that wasn't too bad - before finally letting laziness take over and going to hell. There were times last winter where my actual body felt depressed. No energy, totally lethargic, all appetite. A shit state of affairs. Ended up with the flab. Cutting out anything that contained sucrose or fructose has had shockingly good results and was actually pretty easy.

Twinkies? Lose weight through excessive diarrhoea presumably! The calorific deficit thing - people who start to exercise more and eat less often gain weight though. One or two in this thread have said that much. Exercise is very important for lots of reasons but in the long term, it's very difficult to keep weight off with the burning of calories idea alone. What type of calories you put in there what makes it easier. All I know is that sugar, and the food industry that spikes every innocuous food product with unnecessary and addictive sugar, are pretty bad for people. I'll leave it at that.

Nope. Not true. They have the same calories in an energy sense, but the body processes them in very different ways which is the issue. One example is that fibre calories actually reduce appetite whereas sugar calories increase it. It doesn't even make logical sense. 1000 calories of chocolate or 1000 calories of celery - How would they possibly have the same affect on the body? Calorie counting is dogma and pretty much a myth. It might work for a while but how many people keep the weight they lose off for a year, 2 years, 5 years? Not many. There's plenty of info out there about this, yet the dogma persists.

Had a fair bit of extra weight on me from last year. From June I gave up sugar and ran 5k roughly once a every 10 days, if that, for 2 months. Lost two stone. Very surprised how easy it was, and it wasn't the exercise so much as cutting out sugar. I had mad sugar cravings for the first week, but they disappeared fairly quickly after that. Sugar is the real villain I reckon. Your body runs on glucose, not sucrose. So your liver metabolises them very differently. Excess glucose gets converted into glycogen, which is basically energy storage. It's why marathon runners 'carb-load' before running. You store that shit all you want and it shouldn't cause health problems. Excess sucrose turns to fat and is the real cause of obesity and diabetes. Sucrose is basically a poison if not surrounded by a lot of fibre. It's why fruits are generally healthy, because their sugars are encased in fibre. Fruit juices, however, are all the sugars and none of the fibre. The equivalent amount of alcohol, for example, ultimately isn't that much worse for your liver than orange juice. But we notice the booze more because it's metabolised in our brain as well as our liver. So long periods of boozing leads to cirrhosis of the liver, but long term consumption of sugar leads to diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and probably other problems. Also, the mantra of eating less and exercising more is very overrated. It's all down to what you're eating. Calories are not the same, which makes calorie-counting pretty pointless. Biochemically, two slices of brown bread break down into glucose. The same caloric amount of orange juice / cakes / biscuits etc, breaks down into shitty sugars that fuck with your liver and eventually make you fat and affect your health. Also, there's a hormone called leptin, and its job is to tell us when we're full. Sucrose actually causes leptin to stop working. So you're brain thinks you need more food, and you eat more. Vicious cycle. Sorry for the spiel. There's videos on youtube from a dude called Dr. Robert Lustig, of his various lectures. 'Sugar, the bitter truth' is the main one. It's really interesting stuff.

Counter offer for the Lebowski Urban Achievers.

Couldn't veto it as I had already approved, so I had to improvise. In celebration, all teams get extra trades. It's now 10. On an unrelated note, the Violent Phlegms expect 'friend prices' in any future trades with monochrome, bamboo-eating sports franchises. Also, Arno is a gentleman.

Violent Phlegms are proud to announce the signing of doughy, injury-prone, rocket-armed Matt Stafford back into the fold. A big part of our championship winning side last year. And yeah, I know, Newton's going to go fantasy crazy now, but fuck it, if my team is going to suck I'll at least have a few players that I like on it.

And now the table has reflected this change, as identical win/loss records are now ranked by points scored. So at least we know that's it. Order has been restored.

True, but it does affect waiver priority during the season. If several teams are the same record and there isn't any order besides alphabetical then it doesn't seem right either. Granted, as the season goes on it will start to put them in order, but with points scored at least we'd all know at a glance how we're doing and why we're in whatever position. I'm inclined to go with points scored.

All right, the table hasn't changed so hopefully after this weekend it will go by points scored.
