Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: masterfins on September 08, 2015, 08:47:14 pm ESPN must have dropped that third game we played. Just when I figured it out. :(

Just when I figured it out. :( Yeah, Gridiron Challenge...one of my favorite games. They couldn't line up a sponsor for it this year. I am indubitably unamused. ;) Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN!

ESPN was sued over Gridiron Challenge and dropped the game Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN!

Post by: ArtieChokePhin on September 10, 2015, 07:26:03 pm I'm in
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Brian Fein on September 16, 2015, 03:32:33 pm I just finished picking the Eliminator for the entire season. I riding on Miami to beat the Jags this week, so don't let me down.
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Dave Gray on September 16, 2015, 04:17:38 pm I think there's going to be a ton of New Orleans this week, with a few Miami stragglers...other than that, there aren't a whole lot of safe bets.
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Brian Fein on September 16, 2015, 04:43:43 pm I had New Orleans this week, originally. I was forced to switch it.
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN!

I see a nice pick out there that isn't New Orleans or Miami Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Tenshot13 on September 16, 2015, 04:50:29 pm That game isn't as big a lock as everyone thinks. Tampa usually plays the Saints hard, no matter what their record is.
Having said that, I still expect NO beat TB. Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Tenshot13 on September 16, 2015, 04:50:58 pm I see a nice pick out there that isn't New Orleans or Miami Pretty sure I see the same one, and I'm going with it this week.Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Sunstroke on September 16, 2015, 05:56:01 pm I see 3-4 that I'd be comfortable with, but I went with one that ISN'T Miami or New Orleans... Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: MikeO on September 16, 2015, 09:24:09 pm Pretty sure I see the same one, and I'm going with it this week. There is actually 2 and I am going back and forth with them. But I don't trust the Saints and the Jags at home coming off a loss could be dangerous in this type of game. I see 2 other better options on the board Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Brian Fein on September 17, 2015, 10:32:55 am There are a couple other tasty options but to me they are no better than Miami as a valid choice.
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Dave Gray on September 17, 2015, 10:46:37 am The Saints are one of the teams I like to get out of the way early. They're a hard team to judge and seem to vary greatly from week to week, despite having a lot of potential.
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: masterfins on September 17, 2015, 10:54:24 am Since its early in the pick season I'll help you guys out that are waffling - Pick the Jets.
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Sunstroke on September 17, 2015, 11:06:58 am Since its early in the pick season I'll help you guys out that are waffling - Pick the Jets. I'll help even more...it's always good to get your Jets, Jaguars, Raiders and Buccaneers picks as early in the season as possible. You know, just because I'm a helpful guy... ;D Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Tenshot13 on September 17, 2015, 11:45:22 am I'll help even more...it's always good to get your Jets, Jaguars, Raiders and Buccaneers picks as early in the season as possible. But all of those teams are supposed to lose this wee......oooh I see what you're doingYou know, just because I'm a helpful guy... ;D Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Brian Fein on September 17, 2015, 11:46:03 am ^^ why? you can realistically go the entire season without picking any of those teams. Ever.
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: MikeO on September 17, 2015, 12:30:05 pm There are a couple other tasty options but to me they are no better than Miami as a valid choice. Game scares the hell out of me. I don't like taking road teams in this type of contest, especially early in the year. Plus Team (Jax) opening up with 2 games at home, looks bad week 1, you know they will be motivated week 2 to play better. I am avoiding this game at all costs!

Plus Team (Jax) opening up with 2 games at home, looks bad week 1, you know they will be motivated week 2 to play better. I am avoiding this game at all costs! I agree. But, I needed to use the Saints another week down the road. I don't like Baltimore vs Oakland for the same reasons - travelling across the country to play a home game in Oakland. Similar Cleveland, Johnny Football at home, against what appears to be a hot Titans team. Rams on the road vs Washington? None of these are easy gimme games this week - including Miami.Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Dave Gray on September 17, 2015, 04:55:14 pm Everyone, don't forget to pick your Thursday night pick'em winner.
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Tenshot13 on September 20, 2015, 03:28:01 pm That game isn't as big a lock as everyone thinks. Tampa usually plays the Saints hard, no matter what their record is. Glad I didn't take NO lol. Having said that, I still expect NO beat TB. Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: MikeO on September 20, 2015, 06:38:59 pm kicking myself so hard. Was going to go with Pitt all week. SF coming east on a short week playing at 1pm. Hyde and his performance scared me, switched to Baltimore last second and will now probably lose
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Sunstroke on September 20, 2015, 09:10:23 pm Washington won, Oakland won, Jacksonville won and Tampa Bay won. Today was the Eliminator-killer... Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Tenshot13 on September 20, 2015, 09:18:00 pm Is anyone left?
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: masterfins on September 20, 2015, 09:39:28 pm I'm still alive with my pick of the Steelers. The top (4) picks on ESPN all lost, and if Indy loses it would be the top (5).
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: masterfins on September 21, 2015, 11:56:31 pm Time for a little gloating:
A) I was the only one to pick a winner in week 2 of the Eliminator Game. B) I told you guys to take the Jets this week. ::) ::) ::) Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: AZ Fins Fan 55 on September 22, 2015, 06:01:30 pm I saw that this morning....I have been doing this for quite a few years on this site and never that I can recall has there been only 1 perfect player by week 2. Good thing we continue to pick for the season or this thing would be wrapped lol!!!!! Nicely done masterfins!!!!!
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN!

Good thing we continue to pick for the season or this thing would be wrapped lol!!!!! Nicely done masterfins!!!!! Thanks. I gotta admit I was lucky in week #1, thanks to the Giants imploding against Dallas. But I always try to avoid picking road teams and teams playing against teams in their own division (so I never should have picked the Cowboys in week #1), which helped me survive this past weekend. The top (6) teams picked on ESPN site all lost, that was 87% of the people picking. Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: AZ Fins Fan 55 on September 23, 2015, 01:25:01 pm Yeah last week was by far one of the biggest upset weeks I have seen in this game!!!!!
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: masterfins on November 30, 2015, 11:34:00 am Interesting week for the Eliminator Challenge, nine different teams picked to win this past week (10 or 11 if people picked tonight's game). It will be interesting to see what happens down the stretch as people run out of good teams to pick.
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Dave Gray on December 02, 2015, 01:48:21 pm I feel like I'm out of good teams. I took the Giants and they embarrassed me.
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: masterfins on December 21, 2015, 11:30:09 am Congrats MikeO on a good week picking games!
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Brian Fein on January 04, 2016, 09:59:55 am So, it looks like Mike and I tied for the season. Does that mean I win?
(To think, I had a 0 in week 11...) Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: masterfins on January 04, 2016, 05:52:15 pm So, it looks like Mike and I tied for the season. Does that mean I win? (To think, I had a 0 in week 11...) Good job, according to the "*" you won after the tie breaker was implemented. I came in first in the eliminator challenge, I think Dave said he ran out of good teams to pick, and lost the last two. Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Brian Fein on January 05, 2016, 03:10:39 pm Good job, according to the "*" you won after the tie breaker was implemented. I came in first in the eliminator challenge, I think Dave said he ran out of good teams to pick, and lost the last two. I was looking for this - what was the tiebreaker?Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: masterfins on January 05, 2016, 05:27:50 pm I was looking for this - what was the tiebreaker? I didn't see where they have the "count" listed, but every week you had to enter the score for the Monday Night game, so they must have had some running total off of that. Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Brian Fein on January 06, 2016, 01:50:27 pm ^^ That's funny because I almost-never filled that out. Figured it was pointless since we didn't have weekly winners. I guess if I did it 3 times this season, it must have been more than MikeO did.
Title: Re: TDMMC - ESPN Fantasy Games - PLEASE JOIN! Post by: Dave Gray on January 06, 2016, 02:43:22 pm I'm pissed at myself that I forgot to pick in the final week. ...not even because I lost the contest, but because I wanted an idea of my overall percentage for the year, having picked all games.
