I actually thought about just going down with Goss when he broke that go-ahead TD late and just running the ball to get you to use your timeouts, I was worried that I scored too early and gave you too much time. I turned out to be right. Got lucky on the last throw to Clark for sure, as well as one earlier in the drive that I thought for sure you'd pick off.

Dang I could easily be 3-3 right now luckily I've been able too win the close ones and only lose one close one.

I'm 3-2 and the 2 losses were both under 7 points...

Yeah, I'm 5-1, but I could easily be 2-4. I've been very fortunate to win some close games. Honestly, to me, that speaks very highly with how far we've come as a league, and I feel like we have a really good balance right now. Most of the divisions have 3 teams that are very competitive. And nobody looks to be a runaway winner.

Sure, Detroit and San Francisco are still undefeated, but they've got some very tough competition in their own division. Already this season, I feel like we've seen a good number of close games. Not to say that Chetty and Hemingway were a detriment to the league (though Hemingway winning the Super Bowl in the other league makes me feel a bit vindicated), but I feel a lot better about the parity we have now.

Sorry, I'll update the OP and officially get both of you guys (and that njrockpd guy) listed on the waiting list. I also think it's probably time to talk to steggy about his situation with the Packers. I don't want to force him to give them up. But if he still doesn't have time to play (though I swear people have said they've seen him on Madden a few times), and we have people wanting that spot, we can't just keep letting those be CPU games. I'll let you guys know something soon.

Games left:

Chargers vs Chiefs (Chiefs trying to contact chargers owner)
Lions vs Falcons (waiting for Falcons to PM)
Packers vs Raiders (?)
49ers vs Eagles (Blade playing the CPU I think)

Yeah I feel like the league is very competitive. I wasn't really sure what to expect coming in since I've never done a Madden league, but I feel right in the middle of the skill level (evident by my 3-3 record). Only had one game that I really felt I had no way of winning against Washington, I just got absolutely pummeled. Luckily I turned it around after the 0-3 start so hoping to make the playoffs.

Well you never messaged me yesterday at all, so don't act like it was all my fault or something. You were also the one you said you couldn't play till that night sometime. Furthermore, I gave you my phone number to make it easier to communicate, so please feel free to text me.

FYI: The Packers don't have Rogers, he was traded to the Seahawks for Russell Wilson and picks.

Seriously? Don't let this be a "You didn't message me." "Well, you didn't message me!" thing. That's incredibly stupid on both sides. Furthermore, communication by phone is not expected in this league. I know I'm not giving my phone number to anybody. Communication by CAG PM has and always will be the standard.

Trade Approved

While the difference isn't enough to raise a big issue over, the committee was confused why the Steelers would want to do this trade. Knox seems to be the better receiver in every way despite the lower overall. The only reason we could come up with for why his overall is lower was maybe his injury or carry rating...or just the difference in schemes. But whatever.

Also, no Greg Jennings.

Yep. They also did have Reggie Bush, but he was waived and is currently tearing it up for me. (He was acquired in the Jennings trade.)

He wasn't waived. He just wasn't re-signed when his contract expired.

Reading through that I didn't know wtf the steelers were thinking. Johnny Knox is so much better in every single way especially with his CIT being so high, along with his RTE being higher as well as speed. Good job talking him into that one TB.

I'm just saying that I have made my attempts, I just didn't want it to come across like I wasn't making an effort. I can play tonight. Also, I don't think it's necessary to call any of this stupid. I was just explaining my side of the story, and wasn't trying to start anything. I never said he had to communicate with me by phone, I just gave him the opportunity.
