Another nice win, Charisma! But if you wouldn't mind losing next week, I'm trying to gain back that extra W in the rankings! I forgot all about the game last night until it was already over at about 11:30. Can't believe the Jets pulled it out!

I certainly won't go down without a fight! Best of luck though (to everyone) :D

 

I kept debating between Randle or Floyd for that spot, SO glad I made the right choice. Came down to luck in the end though honestly.

Anyone want to join a fantasy hockey league with me? I can't find anyone willing to play fantasy hockey, everyone says it's too much work so I'm joining a public league. I joined "Ice Cream Saturday" on Yahoo, drafting tonight at 8pm EST if anyone else wanted to join.

I love Vernon Davis so much.

 

That is all.

 

(Different league, but he made the difference for me this week.)

 

Tough luck AJ. James Jones should have had a fantastic game, of course. I hope he gets well soon :(

Since we didn't get it posted last week, I'll put up the week 6 recap, although we are on week 7 now and that should get posted tomorrow night :)

Can you believe the Giants played so well last night? I know the Vikes really only have AP to speak of, and I thought NYG might win, but I didn't expect a blowout like that. Good on them.

Thanks Charisma. I've been slammed at work recently and haven't had my forum browsing free time!

 

And damn, I hadn't seen that I got stat-corrected out of that win Week 6! No wonder things looked wrong when I was looking at the records Monday night.

Whoa. WHOA NOW :rofl: Did you see how many 3-and-outs the Giants had? They didn't play well, they just lucked into playing the Vikings at the best possible time heh. I stayed up to watch that game then wondered why I'd made the effort ^_^

Hahahaha, yeah, the Giants were absolutely awful. The Vikings were just that much worse. I'll give it to the Giants D, they didn't look too terribly bad, but they didn't have much to do. The star of the game was really Peyton Hillis who doesn't even play or work out anymore, haha.

In other news, reports are that J. Finley has a bruised spinal cord, but he's up and walking.  That was a super nasty hit he took, and we were a bit worried that it might be a career-ender.

I was so worried for him. He needs to get lots of rest, but I'm so glad there isn't any massive permanent damage. Get well soon, Finley <3

OK, you're right. I likened it to watching two minivans race. The competition is there, I suppose, but it's boring and rife with problems and not really something many people want to watch for three hours. It's a testament to how badly the Vikings played that they looked "good".

Haha, yup pretty much.  It helped that Freeman basically set a record for the worst QB performance in NFL history.

Insane points for Megatron last week.  Much needed boost in points.

 

Alright Charisma, ready to chalk up a loss!  :D

BOOOOOO CALVIN JOHNSON, BOOOOO!!!!!

 

I was killed by byes in both leagues last week, but might as well get it over with. Still won my other league, obviously not here. :laugh:

Sorry for slacking on posting up everything, thanks Charisma for helping out too.

I found out last week that it's really hard to maintain an active interest in fantasy once the byes hit in earnest when more than half the teams in the league haven't changed since week 1. I'd like to join next year's Neowin league right now xD

Man, you need to get in a league with people who actually play then. The Neowin league is semi active, most of us keep up with it fairly well, a few of us stay on top of it. My other money league you don't get a second to sleep on it or else you'll miss every opportunity that arises. Bye weeks are what make it interesting when there aren't many players available as free agents.

I have the worst luck with my team this year.  Every single player on my team has missed time due to injuries.  This week it's Aaron Rodgers, next week it's probably going to be my punter.  

Man, nice game Astra. Andre Johnson blew up!

 

I was actually at Green Bay Monday night for that game. It was such an awesome experience! But then I watched Aaron get hit >.< I was so disappointed we lost, but more concerned about him and the viability of the team going forward. :S

Oh wow, I bet your heart sunk.  I know mine did.  With A-Rodg out, we might have to worry about even making the playoffs.  :cry:

I think they activated the ex-Badger Tolzien, so it would be neat to see him step in and do well.

ALRIGHT CHARISMA, IT'S TIME TO LOSE!

    • 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).
    • I never played Crazy Taxi before, but this looks like a fun game!
    • 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.
