And it's that time of the week again when MF's wife and daughters take over the living room to watch the "shíte" factor, while i'm relegated to the kitchen, the laptop and an 19 inch portable with about 6 channels...FML

CatFromHue

I only have 5 channels and my kitchen is in my living room (it's an apartment you see)!

Well at least if you come in here and act irrational and you have a good excuse

Settling in for a lovely evening of food, NFL and HEC.

I only read the news about Adrian Peterson earlier today. Insane. I don't know how he can be in any frame of mind to play today two days after his infant son was beaten to death. A really tragic and upsetting story.

I would not like to be facing him today.

I hope he has an amazing game

My Bucs are so terrible, but Darrelle Revis is amazing

Jesus. I'm just reading about it. Sickening. Unfortunately not a totally uncommon thing.

Aye, wouldn't fancy being a member of the Panther's D this evening

Going pretty well against the inactive Ugo Warriers (who couldn't have their bye week players subbed as they had practically no active subs) after that Nelson TD. Another week at number 1 methinks.

Feck it Ugo!!

I couldn't do anything about inactive players this week cause I was in Paris (I live quite the jetset lifestyle )

My game is pretty close

30 points in the first half alone!!!

**** **** **** **** **** ****

Feck's sake the Warriers have been scoring lots of unopposed points and I'm a little over 13 points down. Probably going to need Alfred Morris and Rivers to actually score.

Hagz

Jimmy Graham with no points. Say Whaaaa

matthew8

Bizarre. Knowing him he'll salvage it with a 1 yard TD or something.

Wait a second he's on the sideline, no helmet. Is he injured?

Buer

Pulled up a few minutes ago during the intercepted play.

P_1

Looks like my kicker whoopsie may have cost me here...

matthew8

Looks like he'll be held catchless for the whole game now that they have their score. At one point I was projected to win 154-84, could actually be close now.

We need a new poll.

+1. Nothing personal, but each Sunday night about 3 pages of NFL are added to the thread.

However, it's not that big a deal, so I won't be holding placards or marching on the street or such (which I would never ever do anyway...I'm trying to think what would make me march up O'Connell St with a sign...)

Ah its mainly down to the league a few of us from this parish have going on between us. Didn't realise it was annoying a few

If the NFL gets it's own o/t thread then the John Hayes Ligind Fanclub demands the same.

This thread is pretty much a 50/50 split between the above, with the odd beer conversation thrown in for good measure.

Yeah, but you might skip a page and miss some life-changing post...by USME for example. Or his latest username. Or a cool track you really should listen to.

The only logical solution is to start watching the NFL lads.

The extra hour time difference is killing me. Games starting at 10 are a pain in the arse.

Though on the plus side it removes any temptation to stay up for "just the start" of the prime time games.

First round of games (usually the majority) are on at 6pm. They'll finish at 9pm and the next round (normally just a few) start then. Normally I watch the first round and plan on watching the first half of the second round which means I'm done by 11pm.

Thats a dangerous pitfall that you are lucky to be avoiding

All the 6pm games are over shortly after 9pm unless there's overtime. You'll get about 8 games starting in that early slot!

I will say this - the fantasy NFL stuff seems a LOT more involved than the generic "everyone can buy anyone" approach that the fantasy soccer games take.

I'm just delighted to have a 'k' at the end of my username now. Well worth the fiver to end years of irritation.
