It seems like Fie has long hair now from the description of one their twitter pics yesterday. Said Fie vs blah blah with the pic being from behind a white haired girl with long hair. I think it's the 3rd scan down in this thread

Haven't watched in quite some time. What the hell sort of phrase is snatch her bald?

2/11 - Dorgann's Blade x2

My Lucky Draw luck makes me despair. I received nothing but Super's from all the Nightmare Lucky's combined. And now this. So 7 (?) Lucky's in a row without a single Burst or OSB

Zero. It's selfish but I'd rather have the free time and extra money to myself.

Nope because that 120 has to all be on the same banner

My no 5* streak is now over 100 pulls so I've just not been playing

My Guards and Centers are currently 36/36/35. How much says they screw me by none of them retiring in the summer now I've grabbed a replacement? And their contracts basically make them untouchable with cuts/trades.

I probably need to move back up in the draft at some point to snag a WR if Chris Chambers retires.

For the players I wanted from you, I wouldn't have given up a 1st. Unless the deal was you get my 1st and I get your 2nd!

No game day makes me sad

It'll make me end up tinkering more with trades because of this

First off, yes I confirm that was what was agreed to.

As I told Stan, I have no idea the trade value of picks so that can certainly be adjusted as needed. I'll wait to see if there is more of a consensus on what it would need to be before we adjust anything for sure. I am fine with either of the things discussed though.

I'd say see what KCF suggests. I know he's said in the past we overvalue draft picks. But I think what I suggested sounds fair-ish

Trade to announce

Bills receive
Steelers 1st
Steelers 4th
Steelers 5th
CB Ricky Manning
WR Jordy Nelson

Steelers receive
Bills 3rd
G Latui

At a glance I think the Titans are getting the short end of the stick with that one. Taking a heavy hit at DT to get virtually no improvement at OT to move up 1 round in the middle of the draft? And it's not gonna be a full round, more like half a round off current records. Unless there's position swaps or a trade elsewhere involved for one of their existing OT's I'm not seeing how that benefits the Titans.

That being said, I'm not one to veto and I'm sure Stan has reasons. Like buying years or having deals lined up elsewhere or something?

EDIT: Fairer trade would have been Falcon 2nd or at the very least the 3rd should be straight up (i.e. no 4th going back). I'm basing this off rebuttals I've had for players when trying to upgrade 2-3 points at a position and being told no (granted some for contract reasons)

Someone linked me to some Stardom and that may have ruined WWE women for me forever. I already barely cared about WWE womens wrestling but my interest now, outside a few people's characters, is like zero.

That Iwatani Dragon Suplex is a thing of beauty

Also someone tell me some good matches to watch from that promotion

Disclaimer: I do not know tiebreakers. I am also assuming 3-3-1 trumps 4-4 but given what Madden thought in the AFC North last year when a tie was involved, I can't be sure

Tossing it out there since basically everyone knows I've been trying to shift him.

CB Ricky Manning (81 OVR, 31yo) is available for a 3rd rounder. He'd be a CB2/3 for a lot of teams.

His contract this year is shit but if renewed next year you'd likely be paying ~2.5-3m a year (basing off my other CBs). As far as I am aware, CB's generally play until 34 -36 (per KCF's document) so you should still get 3 years out of him if renewed.

EDIT: Additionally HB Courtney Lewis (87 OVR), DE Ryan Nece (85 OVR), DE David Mcmillan (85 OVR) may be available depending on the offer.

Same reason as the XI event came back and we are getting crazy amounts of mythril. Apparently some people were locked out of the game for like a week plus by a black screen issue during those events

With how the handicap system works, do players ever intentionally throw matches for avoid being moved up in handicap? As obviously it's advantageous to be rated a worse player than you actually are

Have no idea what my score was. Got the winner but missed a finalist so probably not high enough for top 100.

They usually climb and sit on top of the scratching post until the other comes and knocks them off so they can sit on top of it instead. I keep trying to get a video of it but as soon I start recording they stop it

Oh, I adopted 2 new kittens yesterday too. I could post in here or make a new topic (don't want to steal your thunder!)

That cat is adorable though, especially the eyes

Plz make this an adorable kitten picture thread

Ok!

These kittens I helped rescue after they were found outside at maybe ~2 weeks old. Let a foster (i.e. qualified vet tech which I am not!) look after the litter of 6 + Momma until this week. Then took two of the litter. They are ~7-8 weeks old

The white one is called Gizmo due to markings (she only has half a tail). The black one is called Aqua (because she is a crybaby like Aqua from Konosuba). They're both girls. Having to separate them from my other cats at the minute due to age plus they had a bad flea problem (treated now)

Kinda got to blame the media too for the whole 'You're nothing without a ring' narrative they use on every fucking great player that doesn't have one

Too much emphasis on rings, not enough on how good the player actually is.

In my 30s and I have friends who range from late 40s all the way down to mid 20s. And it's not like I just have the odd friend at either extreme, I have plenty of friends dotted in between those ranges.

The girl I'm dating is also 24.

That game for the Nintendo DS where it costs health to run. Lunar Dragon Song maybe?

It cost me $1 and even that may have been more than it's worth

Oh and apparently Clary is only 28 not 32, was a typo in the spreadsheet. Which makes sense as I'd been thinking all season that I could have sworn he wasn't that old. That also changes my need for a Guard somewhat (i.e. not as desperate)

No worries, of course you can cancel

Wait, you actually believe this and this isn't just trolling?

I don't even know if I get either of those here. Never seen one at least

Let's see what KCF says.

The other thing you guys are overlooking is that he can't just go grab whoever from free agency because he has no cap room. He'd have to make cuts to do so. Which is also the reason I didn't toss him in a WR in the deal (I have 6 on my roster and even my worst would be an upgrade for him)

If he wants to make cuts, I can also throw him in WR DJ Hord (77 - 25 yo) but he'd have to free up cap room. Even a 77 becomes his WR3 (+3 on his WR3, +11 on his WR4)

I assume you can switch a tackle to guard without much of a hit (if at all?). So whilst guards have been thin in the draft, tackles have not been. Last draft in particular had a ton of them

Keep in mind his 89 rated HB is out for the season and 33 years old. So there's every chance Courtney Lewis surpasses him. I had also given him the choice of a WR if he preferred.

Also the 87 available in free agency is older (30). Lewis is also in the last year of his contract so he can negotiate whatever deal he wants with him next year.

The guard I'm taking off him is also grossly overpaid. 5.2m this year, 6.34m next and likely 7.5m in the third year. On a 32 year old who is likely to decline in rating. For comparison, my 91 rated guard is paid 3.74m and that is on a brand new deal, not a deal he signed at a lower rating.

You cant. I remember either last year or the year before, a pre-agreed trade had to wait until one of the guys came off injury report which took like 4-5 weeks. Can't remember the player just that it was a high rated QB

Trade for review

Ravens receive
HB Courtney Lewis (87 - 28 years old)
G Jeromey Clary (82 -32 years old)

Steelers receive
G Heitman (92 - 32 years old)

4/11 BLM - Vivi Super, Papalymo Super, Tellah Super, Lulu Super

3/11 WHM - Tyro USB, Kuja Super, Yshtola Super

Tyro USB is the only one that is Burst or higher that I've received from all the lucky draws which has to be terrible odds to not draw any Bursts from all the luckys

So what happens if a player goes red but still has years on his contract? Demands a trade? No shows for the season if he doesnt get traded?

Browns are only 4 games back with a game in hand (this week). They've chased down the steelers over similar amounts before. And they probably still have all their divisional rivals to play too

Now that people's seasons are falling to bits maybe some are more willing to trade!

My injuries have been awful this year. Always had 5-7 and the longterm injuries have always been to starters with poor backups. Yet I still haven't had the most (Stan has, I'm 4th). At least I have the consolation of my division seemingly going from one of the toughest to trash in the off season so have a chance to still make the playoffs. Granted it's probably my going to be win the division or go home unlike previous years

Like what happened to the North, we're all doing poorly

In spreadsheet but can't enter chat with nobody else in there. I'm also playing a game so will tab back periodically I guess

I have never beaten Breath of Fire 3. I'm sure it's not very difficult but I played it near release and could never beat the final boss with whatever resources I had at my disposal back then. And every time I've picked up the game to replay, I've never made it more than half way through before getting distracted by something else.

So I guess technically my final boss save file is like 19 years old at this point.

okay, I don't hate you

To get 3 bedrooms and a den where I live, it would be about the same as you.

Although I'd guess you just live in a more affluent part of the country rather than just living downtown (Orlando) like I do

Just looked it up

If you start watching it before 3AM in your time zone, you'll get counted in the ratings as if you watched it live.

There is a PURE Live only count but it has fallen out of fashion. The numbers you see the next day are always Live+DVR that same night.

How could that factor into hour by hour viewerships?

Also at a quick glance

Titans are 1-4 but all their losses are against teams with winning records. 3 of which have 4+ wins. Their win is against a 4+ win team
Pioneers are 0-6 but 5 of their 6 losses are to teams with winning records. 4 of which have 4+ wins
Lightning are 1-5 and all their losses are to teams with winning records

Cowboys look more impressive than Pumpkins imo. Not only are they dishing out curbstompings every week, they also have done it against superior opposition it seems

Cowboys opposition (discounting loss to Cowboys) - 3-2 / 3-1 / 2-2 / 4-1 / 3-0-1 / 1-4 = 16-11-1 overall
Pumpkins opposition (discounting loss to Pumpkins) - 3-2 / 0-4 / 3-2 / 1-3 / 2-3 / 4-1 = 13-15 overall

Granted you can only beat what is put in front of you

EDIT: Gimme a sec. How on earth did I miss a team in both conferences!

Yeah I figured from the flow of scoring and lack of notable Steelers players it was not a close game. Just pre-game I thought it would be winnable

I am a shade worried that it could be like last season where my record is better than I am because my wins are all against teams with bad records and my losses to teams with good records (granted both still undefeated)

Man that is disappointing. Hoped I'd win that game. That means the Patriots game next week is more crucial

Also injuries have been ass to me so far. Had 5-6 injuries all season, got it down to 3 this week and then got 2 more starters with long term injuries to put it back to 5. I mean at least it hasnt been my starting WR1, HB1, QB1 which has been the case the last 2 years but still sucks
