Week 2 Recap

Fantasy Brethren,

Week 2 is in the history books and we are starting to get a picture of which teams are for real and which teams not so much...for real.

Week 2 Trophies:

High Score                             Xplodey 115
Low Score                             Jammers  51
MVP                                     Flounders  Javid Best 40 (Folz is such a bad ass, he has the MVP on the bench...chutzpah personified!)

Big D                                     Jammers   Steelers 28
Gave An Ass Whooping         Xplodey
Got An Ass Whooping           Jammers

Commish Corner

It warms the cockles of my heart to see the great participation of all of the owners.  Polls are being answered, smack is being adjudicated and general mirth is being spread!

Game of the week poll is up on the league front page, weekly game by game polls are open and a poll I need you all to look at will be on the right side of the blog.  I took the suggestions from the comments last week and compiled them into a poll .  The division name poll will decide our division names.  Most votes equals winner.  Vote early and often.

Week 2 featured some blow outs and some really tight games.  Week 3 looks to have some fantastic match ups.  The game of the week is the Curtain of Steel, who scored over 100 in week 2, vs. the undefeated Pasadena Mudslide.  The Unblemished Balls of Wes find themselves in a trap game with the upstart Jammer's from Jimmy...don't take the power of the slime too lightly.

The Coyotes head down to the Dirty for a match-up of big scorers, both over 100 in week 2.  The battle of Portland will be ragin between the Woofs and Make A Color.  In an odd, almost unheard of match up, The Race For Pancake Supremacy?  Frat Party at the Pankake vs. Paul Bunyan Flapjack.

Good luck to all in week 3 and remember to never let your meatloaf!

Commish's Corner

We need division names.  Division 1 and 2 are beneath the dignity of this fine league and quite frankly I expect more from a bunch of varsity lettermen.  Leave suggestions in the comments.

Some owner's better gird their loins and figure out whatever combination of dim wits and bottom dwellers they are going to pick up to right the damn ship.  1/13th of the season is over.

Not that you winners get a pass because, Arian Foster is not going to get 41 this week and no you may not trip on your willie and score in the 60's and win.  To borrow a phrase from Mark Rinehart, "I'm insane with anger!"

This weeks game of the week is The Asian Assassins v. Wesley's Balls.  A battle of undefeated teams, we will find out find out whom is for real.  Mudslide v. The Coloreds should be a sphincter squeezer. Other good match-up's this week include the battle for Lake City pitting the Flapjack against The Curtain and the what is being dubbed "The Expansion Bowl" with Frat Party and the Woof's squaring off.

Remember to visit the preview section of the scoreboard section of the league site to vote on whom you think will win this weeks games and to spread some smack around.  There are some owners, including myself, who try to comment about every game, spreading as much smack around as morally responsible.  Vote in the game of the week poll on the front page on the league site as well.

Have a great week 2 and as always, wear a cup!

Skype....10 ways! Get in on the fun!


Make group video calls with up to 10 people with the new beta version of Skype for Windows

Skype for WindowsToday we’ve released an update to Skype for Windows. The second beta of Skype 5.0 brings a number of changes both outside and in – most importantly, you can now make group video calls with up to 10 people. It also welcomes in a fresh new look, as well as increased stability and better quality when making group video calls. Read on to find out more, ordownload it now.

Make group video calls with up to 10 people

You can now use Skype to make group video calls* with up to 10 people – letting you bring even more of your family, friends or business together, even if you’re cities or continents apart.
Note that everyone in a group video call now needs to be running this version, so if your friends, family or colleagues are using Beta 1, they’ll have to upgrade before you can include them in group video calls.

A refreshed user interface

You’ll notice that the new-look Skype is sleeker, neater and crisper than before, and we’re proud of the work our interface designers have done to refine and mature the interface for this version. We’ve also added Skype Home, where you can follow your contacts' mood messages, set your profile picture and mood message, receive account notifications and learn more about using Skype.

Better stability and quality

We’ve made improvements to call quality when making group video calls, as well as fixed a number of bugs affecting stability, so your calling experience should be smoother than before. This version also includes automatic call recovery, which should help automatically reconnect Skype calls that are interrupted due to network problems. We’ve also made a number of other housekeeping fixes since the first beta – but please bear in mind that this is still a beta version, and so there may be the odd bug remaining.
* Group video calling is currently available as a free trial. For group video calls, everyone in the group video call will need Skype 5.0 Beta 2 for Windows.
