Fantasy Football Discussion [Both Leagues]

Shame, played well. At least I'm about 70 points up on Spaced with Ware playing and He's still got Romo and Barber.

[-Jrabbit]

That's 67.54 pts with Romo, MB3 and two defenders vs. Ware.
Better hope it's not a shootout; stranger things have happened.

[Ben Kenobi]

Should be enough for the win. I figured 50 points would be enough, 30 for Romo, 15 for Barber and 5 for his defenders.

Too bad the NFL doesn't allow viewing online (well, they do outside NA, so Joncha could watch I suppose... ) but oh well. They'll come into the modern age eventually.

Slingbox.

Let's assume we're talking about *legal* options here

[Ben Kenobi]

Well right now, as it stands:

Tuberski is favoured according to the projections by about a point. Zopper looks like he is 2-0 and in first place, they are favoured by about 18 points. Snoopy's clinched going 1-1. Jag has clinched, for 2-0, Guy is 2-0, Slowwy is down by about 8.

Going to be really close between Slowwy and Koya, but the best matchup is you and Tuber.

[snoopy369]

What have I clinched exactly?? Peyton still gets to give it a shot after all I presume I'll win, but nothing's clinched yet.

Umm, huh?

[snoopy369]

I don't see how Ben could use Slingbox in a legal fashion to watch the Chargers...

Doubtful. Romo, Roy Williams and Dallas Clark should make up the difference easily. I expect to lose handily, perhaps by 15+.

FF is all about matchups. I had a reasonably decent week (unlike Week 1) with 147 pts, but Tuber is holding serve on offense and got a huge advantage on defense, racking up 49.64 while my D had another mediocre-to-poor week. [Curse you, Charles Woodson!]

[Ben Kenobi]

I had Al Harris on the other side! I was saying the same thing.

[OzzyKP]

He'd just need to make friends with Oerdin. While it may be difficult to think of legal ways they could become friends, it is much harder to think of illegal ways.

[snoopy369]

No, that wouldn't be legal. Slingbox isn't supposed to be used to allow someone else to share your cable connection (at least, I can't imagine that it would be legal to use it that way). That would be no different than splicing your downstairs neighbor's cable connection, which certainly is illegal.

[OzzyKP]

It isn't sharing though, since only one person can watch the TV at a time. It is just called "displacement". So yea, that is really the whole point of a Slingbox, to be able to watch your TV (or a friend's TV) in different states or different countries. It is quite cool actually. I've used it for the last two-three years.

[snoopy369]

I highly doubt that's legal, nonetheless, regardless of the sharing/not sharing aspect. The point of slingbox is to let *you* watch your cable connection elsewhere... and even that is probably only barely legal.

Also, you are positing the possibility of BK making friends with Oerdin. You should probably confine your suggestions to legal, possible suggestions
