Did you get soaked?

There was some pretty heavy rain this morning

irishbucsfan · 13-09-2015 04:25PM

A promising start to the week against Buer. Although I have only had one player play and he's had none, I still think it's a fair reflection of the merits of my side.

We started early so missed the rain for the vast majority of the route. Got drenched cycling back from town though.

Do most games happen today or what?

Yes, almost all the games are today.

In America Saturday is reserved for college football and then the NFL plays on Sundays (at 1pm so you can get home from the megachurch after stopping off at Wendy's). 2 games on Monday night this week.

I completed the 100km version of the Great Dublin bike ride today. Fantastic event, every junction on the entire route was marshalled and the volunteers and guards were great. Time to relax with a well earned beer and watch my Nfl fantasy team kick all your asses.

My girlfriend did the 60km while I lay in bed sleeping.

I started the 100km but lost the battle with my shoulder injury so ducked off at the turnoff for the 60km. Still happy with my day. Hadn't been on the bike in weeks and have had my arm in a sling for most of the past week. And the arm is back in a sling now. I knew I was in trouble when I "indicated" to turn right in Malahide village and couldn't lift my arm off the handlebars.

Fantastic event though. Some atmosphere back in Smithfield afterwards too. Very glad I did it, and I hope it's a regular event in the sportive calendar.

Congrats on the 100 though. It's a great achievement. I remember the feeling of completing my first long distance event - some buzz!

Sounds painful well done on getting through it

Finally succumbed and bought a Leinster jersey yesterday:)

Fair play sullivio, and pudsy. Look after that shoulder! Pissed rain here all day so I didn't get out on the bike, jealous!

Wang King · 13-09-2015 06:37PM

Still haven't got my bike yet....did a speed and endurance rest in my gym on Thursday, had to beat all bike times and lift heavier and longer weights... Lost 2.1kg on the bike in 26mins, I nearly fell off the scales.
I know its a lot of fluid...but still

One of the RB's on my bench was worth 22 points today

How does the bench work? Do you not get any of the points they earn?

thomond2006 · 13-09-2015 09:14PM

The baaaaad man just got me 23 points. Rodgers is phenomenal. Had Harvin on the bench though and he got 15.

Unfortunately I had DeSean Jackson but he got hurt early. I still have DeMarco Murray for Monday night.

thomond2006 · 13-09-2015 09:20PM

Pete Carroll just went for an onside kick at the start of overtime. Rams recover. Oh dear.

Rams kick a FG and then stop Marshawn on a 4th and 1.

irishbucsfan · 13-09-2015 09:26PM

I would be winning my game versus Buer if he didn't cheat.

Expand?

I have the Rams defense, I assume their win is worth points?

On another note, Sky's NFL coverage is pretty good. Their Redzone updates are great.

I hate the Seahawks. I find them getting their commupence for trying to be smart amusing.

Nah, only players in your active lineup earn points sadly!

Their behaviour after that interception left a lot to be desired anyway. Their safety Chancellor has fecked off because he wants more money (interesting that players can actually do that!!) and then Lynch wore a Chancellor jersey in training.

thomond2006 · 13-09-2015 09:59PM

Jameis Winston's first pass was intercepted for a touchdown. Yikes.

Never heard of him

NFL Redzone is great. I'd love a rugby equivalent, but the nature of the NFL really lends itself to it.

For those who've never seen it, it's basically one broadcast which jumps between every game and just shows the games where interesting things are happening. No adverts as well so it's nonstop action for about 7 hours.

That must be CGI, the Bucs don't start until next week, the game this week was cancelled.

One of my final picks, RB Danny Woodhead for SDC, has scored two rushing TDs.
