Forte didn't practice this week.   He was listed as questionable, even doubtful.

Yeah, but is Powell really a 15-point back this week? ... It just sounds really high to me.

@Groucho Valentine.

I just looked at my league's waiver list and saw Powell was available and projected at 15 this week. This must mean that Forte isn't expected to be available, but does that seem right to you?

 

Yeah, he had a knee thing. He was limited in practice all last week. I didn't expect him to play. But I'm sure you know that by now. It was a pretty pathetic week from the offense, so i hope you didn't pull the trigger on powell. IMO, Ryan Anderson and Sefeian-Jenkins are the only Jets worth keeping on your roster, if they are available.

That really did seem too good to be true, but I went and did it anyway. RB is the revolving door from hell for me this year.

On the bright side, the guy that otherwise would have had that spot (GB's Aaron Jones) generated the same crappy 2 points that Powell did and everything else went right for me. 37 points out of LAR's Robert Woods is the big difference maker. I go into tonight with a 20 point lead, Jarvis Landry and Devin Funchess. The oppo has only Ed Dickson. 

Baring a disaster, the Creek Crushers will be tied at the top of the East Division by tomorrow morning.

Nice. Ha. I think jones got hurt. Or was that their other guy? I don't remember. I had Robert woods in my lineup too. Never would have even picked him up if it wasn't having other guys on bye week.

I got a 60 something pt lead. I think my opponent has McCaffery and Dickson. Think I'm safe...haha.

Solid double-digits out of everyone else and Prescott bestows a -2 on me last night. 

Should have been an easy week and now I've got to hope that Russell Wilson doesn't go off tonight against Atlanta.

Is that guy the Bills threw out there at QB the worst player in NFL history? Its certainly debatable. 

Makes me glad I started the Chargers D/ST ;-)

Dak; however, screwed me over, figures.

Wow. That was a -8. Peterman's a rookie and was playing in his second-ever NFL game. Maybe it will get better for him if he gets another chance. Of course, he may not. 

A quick internet search suggests a possible worst-ever quarterback performance may have been Detroit's Ty Detmer against Cleveland of all teams in 2001. He threw seven interceptions that day. ... The all-time record for interceptions thrown in a game is by Jim Hardy with 8. He played for the Chicago Cardinals in a 45-7 loss to the Eagles in 1950. Hardy was actually a pro-bowler one year.

Yeah, Dak screwed alot of folks i imagine. It seems like he's just like a bigger version of Tayrod Taylor without Zeke back there.  I got hosed by the Rams Kicker and D. They'd both been money before yesterday. Only got 1 point combined from both of them. Luckily, everyone else i had in my lineup scored at least 17, (Antonio Brown hello!) so I'm good for the win.

I was trying my best to be optimistic last night. My oppo, the Rak-O-Potamus as he is known, still needed 30 points out of Russell Wilson. ..

... That's exactly what he got. 134-133 L.

If it had been anyone besides Wilson, I wouldn't have been nearly as worried.

Real fast turnaround Thursday against the Chargers. In my 10-team league the next best alternative is Jacoby Brisset or Andy Dalton. Here's hoping a bit of Cowboy pride has been hurt and I get a decent effort.

They're still playing? It felt like winning the Superbowl two weeks ago as a Giants fan, I just assumed the season was over ;-)

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
