Look mister, I'm just saying knee the ball at the end or you will get a lot of flak in this league. I apologized for the sore loser thing on live didn't I, that was a misunderstanding because I thought you were talking about something else. As far as the class thing, just the way you close out a game, not your overall game. Your D is great and I had no problem with the way you played. Just thought I would bring up the end there.
I'm just trying to look out for you homeslice. I have no problem with you at all.

Official CAG League 2.0 Disconnect Policy
Introduction:
We all know that there is a disconnect problem in Madden. People who have been playing online for years know there always has been, and there likely always will be. It's something we've all encountered and been frustrated by in both leagues. It sucks. The important thing to remember right off the bat is that disconnects are nobody's fault. Whether it's the EA servers or someone's own connection, no one wants their game to disconnect, so pointing fingers will never get anyone anywhere.
Unfortunately, Madden seems to have a nasty habit of not disconnecting until well into the game. Sometimes this interrupts a close, epic game and other times it interrupts a game which one team has well in hand. These situations certainly both suck, but we need to treat them differently. Below I'll discuss some scenarios and guidelines for how they should be handled.
General Rules:
1. No team should ever count a disconnect without express permission from their opponent or the commissioner. Even if you are up by 40 points, you still need to inform your opponent that you intend to count the game. If they refuse in such a case, you can appeal to the commissioner, and in such cases the game will usually be counted. But no taking the law into your own hands.
2. Games which are still in the first half and disconnect should almost always be replayed. Exceptions might be made for huge early leads, but in general I'll ask you to try and replay these, since we all know crazy things can happen in Madden.
3. In general, the more disconnects you've had in a given game the more likely it is we'll need to explore other options. If you get disconnected in your first attempt it could be a freak thing, but if it's happening again and again obviously there's a deeper issue.
Courses of action:
So try as you might you just can't get that game in. Both players have given it their good faith effort but it's just not happening. What now?
Option 1: Simming
This will be the most common course of action in repeated disconnects, especially when the games are close and the players are of similar skill levels. If you can't get the game in, and there's no body of evidence whatsoever as to who had the upper hand in the matchup (on the field, obviously) than we will sim it. No one likes a sim, but there's no denying it's fair.
Option 2: Play the CPU
If a game disconnects in which one player has a clear late advantage and are not given the option to count the game than sometimes it will be appropriate for the trailing team to temporarily drop from the league and let their opponent play against the CPU. For the most part, nobody is going to be compelled to take this option, and obviously in most cases it will require the consent of both parties. There is plenty of precedent for such a move (I even dropped in the playoffs last year against Doomtime) and I think we can all rationally tell when our opponent has control of the game (even if we don't want to admit it). Obviously this is an inherently subjective question as to whether a game is in hand, and it will be judged on a case by case basis using the following criteria:
It goes without saying that in this scenario those seen to be running up the score on the CPU or deliberately attempting to injure players will be frowned upon and are less likely to have the opportunity in the future.
Option 3: Subbing
When it's clear that one person or the other is the one who's disconnecting (usually it's EA, but oftentimes it's someone's own connection) than they are permitted to request a sub who might have better luck connecting to the opponent. This request should be made to the commissioner who will then choose an appropriate sub to try and complete the game. As always, subs should give their full faith effort to win the game and play fair.
Again, don't point fingers saying "it's his fault! his connection sucks!" because you really have no way of knowing for sure. On the other hand, if you suspect it's your connection and not the servers, than say so. It is possible that both teams could be subbed for simultaneously, although in that scenario simming might be the better option.
--------------------
I reserve the right to amend and expand this later. In the meantime if you have any questions or need any clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

Oh lol yeah I missed that...phew.
When future generations wonder why the Bears-Cowboys game was stated so many times, let is be said that Superstar was gracious enough to let me play the CPU after our last disconnect and I was gracious enough to promise not to hurt any of his key players... That last part has proved tricky, as apparently they are made out of fiberglass.

you could have kneed it twice and let the clock run out. The game was decided, there was no reason for you try and score.

Just be careful in the future not to try and run it up.
We have three games left:
Ravens-Bengals (what's going on with this?)
Cardinals-Falcons (this one will be simmed)
Rams-Raiders (Deuce said he's having trouble making contact)
Jags-Chargers (tomorrow)
Any further updates?

Just another friendly reminder that everyone should sign up on the league XFN site:
http://xtreme-football.net/index.php?r=league/index&lid=71
It's a very cool site for everything from scouting your opponents to reading and writing recaps and stories from around the league.
Only about half of you have joined so far, the following teams still haven't: Dolphins, Jets, Bengals, Ravens, Steelers, Colts, Titans, Chargers, Cowboys, Redskins, Lions, Vikings, Bucs, Falcons, Rams, Seahawks.
Get on it guys!

Cool. Maybe if we can get the other two in we can advance tonight (though it's not a huge deal if we don't).
Also, it's been suspiciously quiet on the trade front so far, you guys know it's allowed, right? I'll post any trading blocks in the OP (mine's already up there)

well my bad for running it up will not happen again. Anyways on with the stats.
Lions 45 Eagles 21
The game started off bad for the lions after logan dropped the opening kick off and patterson took it in for a 19 yard scoop and score. Then on the next drive the lions went 3 and out. After that Stafford and Pettigrew started clicking and stafford ended up going 22-32 for 402 yards and 5 TDs O INTs with a 151.0 QB rating, 83 yards of course came off a quick pass out to johnson. Pettigrew had 7 rec 128 yards 1 TD. Vick was 12-31 for 199 yards 2 TDs 2 INTs. 71 Yards was off a bomb to Jackson(his only rec of the game). Vick also had 6 rushes for 77 yards. Mccoy had 7 rushes for 72 yards 3 Rec 27 yards with 1 TD. The Game changer was when Houston took a Vick INT all the way back to the house 44 yards for a TD. The nail in the coffin was when Mccoy fumbled on the goal line on 3rd down and the the eagles went for a fake field goal and didnt convert.
Player of the game was Jahvid Best with 10 rushes for 8 yards but 13 rec 163 yards and 3 TDs with 172 YAC.

Well Deuce said he'll be out quite late tonight and may not be able to play. He said he would let me know. My amigo said he will be on for a few more hours but probably not that late. Looks like today is a wash.
Tomorrow Deuce said he'll be on all day before 3pm EST. My amigo should be on then. He has to get it in before noon though because he has to work.

Still have 3 games:
Ravens-Bengals (I have not heard from either. I have no problem simming this if you guys haven't gotten a time together)
Cardinals-Falcons (this one will be simmed)
Rams-Raiders (Playing early today)
Jags-Chargers (Playing today)
As of right now since I haven't heard anything about the Ravens-Bengals game, I will plan to advance us after the Jags-Chargers game unless I hear a firm time on Ravens-Bengals.
