Could the HOU/ATL be a 10-7 final? I like Schaubs revenge...but I see an UNDER!

You are on a small aircraft with Greg A and Brett Favre. Its Super Bowl weekend 2008 and you are flying to the big game where the Packers are playing the Patriots,,,

All of the sudden, the engines fail totally.

There are only 2 parachutes, who gets the 2nd one? Favre or Greg ? They get the two and I land the plane like Indiana Jones in the "Temple of Doom."

[/QUOTE]LMAO!!! Great answer Tom!

~Lance Texans win 35-14. Schaub with 3 TD passes both to Dayne and Dayne rushes for 2 more.

At some point someone is going to create a program that can be installed on your TV where you not only get your team's stats but highlights as well.

Now getting the NFL to sign off on the use of those replays will be the tricky part. So that means the person/company who creates the software will need to partner with the NFL to do it.

To expound on FI$HER's question...

Better chance of happening...

(I'm talking HIGH STAKES fantasy football)

1) A $1500+ entry multi-league Auction. (say 10 plus leagues of 12 or 14)

2) Removal of Team DEF and adding IDP.

3) Having FLEX opened up for not only WR/RB/TE...but also QB, DEF, K. (All)

~Lance 1.

I think IDP is still too "niche" for the average player and I personally don't like flex positions being that wide open. I wouldn't want to be in a league like that. But that's me.

[/QUOTE]It would be nice to have DirecTV add an option to include programming in your team and your opponents team...clicking one of a few options...say the "NFFC Scoring" option...and having either a channel designated to showing your live score, or showing it on a running update bar on the bottom of whatever channel you are watching!

Tom -

You are an excellent writer / journalist. Is this something that always came natural to you or did you work hard to improve this through education?

And lastly, most people are either great at English or great at Math....How are your math skills ?
