I've been watching it too :LOL:. Turned it on yesterday for a game and the score was 12-1. How do you score one point?
It's called a Half Safety. It's whenever a player get the ball in their own end zone and gets tackled with half their body still in the end zone and the other half out of the end zone.

Reminds me of another strange thing. One game the part of the endzone where you break the plane was the same thick white line you'd get in the NFL. Another game it was a skinny red line like a football/rugby pitch. Odd that it's not the same everywhere.

Haven't watched a single NFL game in two years, not even the Super Bowls, so I don't know why I'm still following this thread. I guess I still like to keep track of what's going on.

I'm in the middle of a major dilemma boys.

I promised my wife, if I managed to win that third title in a row and with the birth of our daughter earlier this year, I'd retire from fantasy!

Was kinda happy to do that back in February but now the season is just round the corner, I really don't want to give up my slot in the league and David Johnson!

There's no way I could get a side like last year again so maybe best to have a sabbatical and bow out on top, although It definitely makes the NFL season for me, love fantasy football and I know you guys would miss me ;)

Oh no! Fantasy just wouldn't be the same without your crazy trade offers Hutch!

Stop farting about, you're in.

Also taking suggestions for rule changes etc., I know there were some ideas last year.

:LOL: $10m for a 34-year-old QB who last year had a season-ending shoulder injury. Personally, I would have given Matt Moore a chance and saved myself $10m.
Definitely. Moore would have been no worse and they would have saved the 10m that they'll need to sign Landry to a long term deal.

Which date are we doing the draft this year guys? Continuing my tradition of drafting in inconvenient places (following at a conference last year, in the channel tunnel the year before and at a festival the year before that), I am again at the End of the Road festival on Sunday 3rd. It's not stopped me in the past, mind you...

Also if we're considering rules changes, any interest in trying out PPR?

Hanging in the balance lads, had a really good team last year but somehow managed to get locked out of my ESPN account and I'm in two leagues on NFL.com ( managed to win both last year ! ). I found it hard keeping up with a 3rd league on a separate app and ended up turning in a bad effort. Having said that, if we are struggling I'll give it another go

If I get the nod, Can we draft last Sunday in August? I'm moving house before starting a new school at the beginning of September.
I don't think we glean anything from week 4 of preseason.
