So, no one made a thread, and no one talked in the thread much last year, but I'm gonna make one for this year anyway. Maybe I'll try to keep the thread going and get some of you to stick around and chat.

 

Week 1 Matchups

TDs and Beer vs CharismasCheeseheads

Bryant's Beaters vs Mumble's Minions

soonerfreak vs Goon Squad

bguy_1986 vs Redzone 2 Endzone

Best of luck to everyone... well, not really. Just me. To hell with the rest of you. I'll see you in the championship game!

 

Either way, I'm just glad to have the NFL back!

I think everyone rejoined from last year, so we never had any openings this year. On another message board I chat on they have an upper and lower division league. Maybe we could do that if more people wanted to play, but it's a little later for this year.

Manning got 66.28 points in my other league. That's absolutely ridiculous. Our QB points are usually 20-30 with 40 something being a high and I don't even know if I've ever seen over 50. I hadn't checked his points until you said that. I have Demaryius Thomas in both leagues though!

I'm playing in a Little League: we just choose the 16 winners and score

from that. I think it's called Yahoo Pick'em.

 

Anyhow, I'm at 12/16 right now. Tampa Bay and Pittsburg really let me down.  :(

I'm in the lead by one. Just need Washington and Houston to win tonight and I win

this week. Woot!

Yeah, I've done the Pick em the last few years as well. This year I joined ESPN's version of a pickem game, playing the spread this time as well. Let's just say it's a bit different, I didn't do so well the first week, haha.

 

So I go the most points this week in the Neowin league, but I got the least points in my money league! Just my luck!

Well, here's my picks for Week 2.

 

01. New England

02. Atlanta

03. Carolina

04. Chicago

05. Green Bay

06. Miami

07. Dallas (My Hometeam)

08. Philadelphia

09. Baltimore

10. Houston

11. Detroit

12. New Orleans

13. Oakland

14. Denver

15. San Francisco

16. Cincinnati

Would love to join in but my team is in shambles. :( So many injuries in the first game that it is unreal. I was really looking forward to this year but now I am a sad panda. I know the Pittsburgh Steelers can adapt and overcome injuries, but this year it will be especially difficult. Maybe they will surprise me.

Aw man I've missed out on this xD Just started playing fantasy this year on CBS because by the time I decided to play (Sunday) most of the other leagues had shut heh. Looking forward to week 1 2's games now :P In other news, kinda glad I stayed away from Brady and his rookie receivers.

In fairness, the throws weren't dead on. A great quote I read the other day said "effort isn't a zero-sum game" - just because the receivers were to blame for the drops doesn't mean the passes couldn't have been better.  I'm not saying Tebow's mechanics have rubbed off on him during the offseason and his accuracy's completely off, but he could have been more accurate in the passes.

I felt bad for Brady. Most of his throws were dead on, but his receiving team sucked ass.

That game should NOT have been that close. The Jets defense didn't stop the passing

game... those receivers did.

I didn't, I was playing against him, haha. I wanted an all around terrible game and I got it!

 

Should have posted this before but I'm a slacker...

I'm really surprised I can't even get any of the people that are in this league to comment here. :laugh: I'm not even sure what members some of the teams match up to except for the obvious ones. We should have done a pick 'em league as well. Maybe next year?

I have a question for you Fantasy folks:

Where can I look up total Fantasy points per NFL team?

For example, normal Fantasy Football has you drafting players from various teams...

but let's say I draft the entire Atlanta Falcons team. Is there a site I can pull up the

Atlanta Falcons and see every point made by their players?

http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/leaders will give you an idea, but bear in mind that different leagues do have different scoring systems (slightly), for example some give 6 points for a passing TD, most give 4 points. There's also the two main flavours of fantasy (Standard vs. PPR [point per reception]) scoring to bear in mind, so someone like Wes Welker who catches a high volume of passes will score more points in PPR than in standard scoring.

 

TLDR; there's no one-stop-shop, but the link above will give you a rough idea.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
    • My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).

    • The perception of Microsoft Edge is unfortunate as it's a world class browser. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best browser I've ever used with its feature set, speed, reliability and advanced security. Running the extension Ublock Origin is a must though to deal with advertising and trackers.
