I actually thought before the game "Hell, I can live with a tie-game here", because although we're a game back, we now have no need to worry about the tiebreakers held over us (unless someone else ties too). Sure a W would have been nicer, but if Rodgers comes back this week then we're in the best position of anyone in the North to win the division.

 

This week has been a good week for Packers fans :P

Booooooo Packers!!! Booo tie game! Oh well, as my mom (a Packers fan said), at least they didn't lose another, which is about all I can say for the Vikings too, haha.

That was my thought exactly: better a tie than yet another loss. We are seriously struggling without Rodgers. Why oh why didn't they put Flynn in the game sooner than they did??

 

On the other hand, I have AP on my other fantasy team, so it wasn't all bad... >.>

I'm just gonna say it, my team is so stacked I have no idea who to play. :laugh:

 

I hope you guys are ready for some playoffs! And good luck to those fighting for a spot this week. No one is eliminated still!

I beat Charisma Cheeseheads and knocked him down a seed in the playoffs.   :D

 

And now I get to face him again in the playoffs.   :|

Charisma isn't a "him".  :D

But thanks for that win!  Moves me up to the top spot.  :cool:

 

btw, we have a lot of Wisconsinites in this league.

Oh, you live in Milwaukee too, cool.  Fantasy Football is the only thing keeping me interested in football this year with how the Packers season has been going.

Yeah, it's been a rough month for us.  I'm almost hoping that Rodgers doesn't come back anymore this year so that they can finish off the season with a bad record, fire a bunch of the useless coaches (definitely Capers), and then get some decent draft picks.

 

It's amazing that Rodgers can single-handedly make the entire team look good.

I'm so bitter this week. The 49ers defence crashed after 3 solid quarters, and a couple of my studs laid eggs (Beast Mode, I'm looking at you). Really annoying xD

 

As for Rodgers, I was kind of thinking the same think Astra, but we actually have a very decent chance of making the playoffs still. The Lions have 4 trap games to go, and if Rodgers comes back he only really has to beat Dallas and Detroit to get us in. If it weren't for that, I'd be seriously considering supporting us losing from here on out :P

Yeah that's going to be a hard call.  The playoffs are definitely still possible, but I'd hate for them to make it and then ignore all the problems they've had over the past 4 games.  If, in some miracle, they make the playoffs and do well, I don't think they'll fire all the people that should.

Well everyone, we've reached the end of the regular season. Here are the final regular season standings for 2013:

 

Final Regular Season Standings

1. *Astra.Xtreme 10-3, 1715 pts

2. *CharismasCheeseheads 9-4, 1786 pts

3. *TDs and Beer 8-4-1, 1814 pts

4. *Mumble's Minions 8-5, 1586 pts

5. *soonerfreak 7-6, 1698 pts

6. *bguy_1986 6-6-1, 1656 pts

7. *Goon Squad 5-8, 1579 pts

8. *Redzone 2 Endzone 4-9, 1527 pts

9. aessap 4-9, 1473 pts

10. Bryant's Beaters 3-10, 1558 pts

 

Of course with our final week come our first two eliminations, aessap and Bryant's Beaters. Better luck next year, guys! Next week, 4 more.

 

I also want to recognize Astra.Xtreme for a 7 game win streak right now! Well done, hopefully it ends soon though.

 

Here's the recap to last weeks games and the matchups for week 1 of the playoffs!

 

Week 13 Results

TDs and Beer 193 vs soonerfreak 149

Bryant's Beaters 137 vs Astra.Xtreme 141

Mumble's Minions 134 vs bguy_1986 135

CharismasCheeseheads 140 vs Goon Squad 142

aessap 83 vs Redzone 2 Endzone 96

 

Week 1 Playoff Matchups

1 Astra.Xtreme 10-3 vs 8 Redzone 2 Endzone 4-9

 2 meetings so far this year, both have gone in Astra.Xtreme's favor (171-123, 149-125). Is the third time the charm for Redzone 2 Endzone to knock off our #1 seed?

4 Mumble's Minions 8-5 vs 5 soonerfreak 7-6

 This series is split 1-1 in the regular season with week 3 to soonerfreak, 146-107, and the week 12 to Mumble's Minions, 141-127.

3 TDs and Beer 8-4-1 vs 6 bguy_1986 6-6-1

The long awaited rematch and tie-breaker after week 6's 105-105 tie in the only meeting this year. This is the one that matters!

2 CharismasCheeseheads 9-4 vs 7 Goon Squad 5-8

 And finally a rematch of last week's 142-140 upset by Goon Squad. In week 4 CharismasCheeseheads won 142-138 though, making the series 1-1 for the year in two very close games.

I can't believe I lost in my money league.... THE PERSON I WAS PLAYING HAD TWO 0s AND A -1!!!!

 

I hate the snow. And Cam Newton...

 

Now Demarco better not go crazy and beat me here too! If I lose to a Sooner I'd be devastated! :laugh: Hopefully I'm safe though, but it's not over until it's over!

 

Edit: ALSHON!!!!!

I had a sneaky feeling Burleson might go off big this week and was really, really tempted to play him. That's one hell of a bullet dodged right there xD Hilarious match though, I really enjoyed watching it, although I couldn't stop thinking of how much fun you could have with the "I f-ing love cocaine" meme during it :P

Wait... Astra, you lost?! Killed by the snow just like my other league. I feel for you on that one.

 

#1 down, ladies and gentlemen.

 

Ready for round 3 Charisma??

Ouch! Yeah that was a dud at the worst time.  :pinch:

Also got knocked out of the playoffs in one of my money leagues, but still alive in the other bigger money league.  Top 4 of 12 made the playoffs, so I was lucky to sneak in.

Quick question for you guys - this is my first season playing Fantasy Football and I've made the playoffs in the only league I'm in, which I'm pretty chuffed about. How would you reckon my current matchup looks?

 

c158ca1523dded99daaf9667f594be202f9d4428

 

I know Lynch and VJax didn't practice this week, which has me worried as hell. I have Stacy to swap Lynch for if needed, but my replacement options for VJax if needed are Jennings, Crabtree and Burleson (leaning towards Jennings). My other bench slot is the Pats DST.

 

I'm also kinda annoyed that the other playoff matchup, one guy hasn't even set his lineup so he has RG3 in there and Welker, neither of whom are playing xD

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      By zikalify · Posted

      Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
