APL Preseason Ends - Regular Season Begins! (Sept 2007)

20
Vote

by Manny Stiles

Points accumulated during the Preseason will not count once the season begins. YES< you can still join! BUT THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE! Follow the bouncing ball, and you're in...

The Inaugural Season of APL runs through the Super Bowl and Playoffs conclude with the March Madness Invitational in April 2008. If you cannot commit to the entire season - DON'T JOIN!!!
The Inaugural Season of APL runs through the Super Bowl and Playoffs conclude with the March Madness Invitational in April 2008. If you cannot commit to the entire season - DON'T JOIN!!!

Here's APL Preseason Week 2

Here's the answer key:

SEA 19 - OAK - 14

  • ARI 3 - DEN 21
  • SF 13 - SD 16
  • BAL 10 - ATL 13
  • IND 6 - CIN 14


Tampa Bay Devil Rays - won easily. [{Carlos Pena hit more homeruns by himself than the Yankees did as a team.

Jimmie Johnson won the race, if you had Carl Edwards (like I did), Kyle Busch or Jeff Burton, you got the point value you assigned to the answer.

And if you had PHX, you were right. I screwed up the wording to the question but the Mercury made sure it didn't matter.

So how'd everyone do? Well it's pre-season, so who cares!

Preseason Week 2 shakes down like this:

Manny Stiles' Gang of Weird Shift Buttons - 12.90 pts (that's right!)

Veronica Corningstone's Sex Panthers - 10.40 pts (way to piggyback my Edwards pick)

The King of Who Cares - 8.90 pts

Raining Champs - 6.90 pts

'Confused but Intrigued' - 6.90 pts

Davis21wylie's "Insert Tasteless Michael Vick Reference Here" Team: - 6.60 pts

'Long Balls' - 6.60 pts

The .44 Magnums - 5.60 pts

"The Battling Bookworms of Bora Bora" - 5.10 pts

FP's Kool-Aid - 3.60 pts

British Lions - 2.60 pts


So preseason's over, it's time to get it on!!!

You know how to pick, or someone will show you - so you have until I post my picks (sometime before early Friday) to get your predictions in correctly (with team name and properly assigned point values or else - YOU ARE OUT!


Here is Week 1

a

Assign a value of 1, 2 and 3 (using 1, 2 and 3 only ONCE each) to your choice of three of the following games (winners only; no bitching)

  • TB v. SEA
  • PHI v GB
  • NE v NYJ
  • CHI v SD
  • NYG v DAL
  • NO v IND
  • MIA v WAS
  • ARI v SF
  • BAL v CIN


b

Pick the fantasy football representitive of your choice - ALL players (real or fictitious) are eligible. Only points scored on yahoo's fantasy football basic settings divided by ten count towards the total.

Yes, everyone can pick the same players.


c

Assign a value of 1, 2 or 3 to each othe following predictions -


I - Who will amass more offensive yards this weekend?

LSU vs Virginia Tech? or Penn St. vs. Notre Dame

Tie breaker - points, then TV ratings, if ratings are the same - team with more letters in the names of players who scored will win.

II - Who will win WNBA Finals game #2 on Saturday? PHX or DET


III - Who will score the most runs this weekend? (Tie breakers, hits, total bases then runs allowed, hits allowed, attendance.)

Boston Red Sox against the Orioles?

New York Yankees against the Royals? or

Chicago Cubs against the Pirates?

That's it! Week one!

Happy choosing!

No, you didn't fix it... you need a one point/cosmic energy portion prediction and a two and a three - one of each - the most points you can get in the round is 6...

    What's with calling my graphic shitty? The three stars represent Mantike, the god of divination and the moon in the crystal ball represents Perseus, the shapeshifter who forces all things into being by allowing them to happen. If you have a "cooler-looking graphic", more power to you, but I usually know what I am doing... this isn't a graphic, it's a symbol!

    Nice try... I have a feeling he won't be scoring well in the league providing the scoring. Or... You put three points on it - how did you know the PSU - LSU question wasn't about football instead of feetball, eh half-assed smart ass?

    and picking the robot is not allowed - I'm not banning it for being gay - even though it scores TDs for "both" teams - Yahoo doesn't track it and I'm using Yahoo points for scoring the fantasy points because I don't play fantasy football or track points.
