I am afraid I won't be able to help you at this time, that's way too many Laker fans.

Joking aside, I also may be relocating at the end of this summer as well. Not much certainty at this stage though.

I'm actually surprised I liked Dr. Who. The first episode was god awful. Just laughably bad. I really had to suffer through most of the first season.

Got better tho.

I never did get over them giving Rose the boot though. I wasn't prepared for that, didn't know it was coming. I was ok with the first Dr. Who leaving, didn't care much for him. I've never liked this last guy as much as the 2nd one though.

You gotta roll with the punches with that show.

Where to?

Glad to see that more than one of us could use an early draft start date.

Amen to that Wes, laughably bad doesn't do it justice. I actually liked that first doctor though...until David Tennant entered the picture, then I saw how bad Eccleston actually was. Tennant was absolutely genius and I never thought I'd get over the change to Matt Smith, but Matt brought a sarcasm and silliness to the character that I really liked. I also thought the Rory and Amy mix made those episodes extremely enjoyable.

Sherlock is fantastic. So sad to have to wait 2 years for the next season.

I would actually prefer if the draft started at the end of September, either way is fine.

I do not know where to yet, but have solid plans to go abroad for grad school. Could be Germany or Norway (likelier). Or Canada (less likely).

I might have liked it better if not for some British accents on that show.

I was a big Dr. Who fan in it's older incarnations with the cheesy special effects back in the 80's. Was a member of the Dr. Who Fan Club of America, volunteered at conventions, etc...

But yeah, Tennant was the best of this current revival.

My kids have gone back and watched the old ones. Tom Baker was a great doctor!

Feel fortunate to eek out 4-5 loss to Gokce. He had something like 14 games played advantage on me this week. It looks like we could face each other in a first round rematch, but we'll see how this week goes.

Looks like I will be able to make it if Cy remembers to set his team. Of course this wouldn't have happened with a little push from Breakdown. Thanks, old friend :thumbsup:

3.5 games behind Woody and 4.5 games behind TheMan...I like my chances. Go Sly and Floppy!

For those of us hitting the golf course shortly in Fantasy Basketball, a spot opened up in our RBSL sim league. Heading into the offseason. Detroit Pistons. League is very active: http://rbslforums.phillyarena.net/index.php, using sim players with the NBA draft classes as they come. In year 2058.

Woody Allen · Post #1437 » by **Woody Allen** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 12:04 am

Cy left players on bench tonight, but he really needs to set his team for tomorrow at least...

writersblock · Post #1438 » by **writersblock** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 12:58 am

This one is coming down to the wire. Coming into tonight, I was 7-2, giving me the edge to knock Woody out of 8th. But 3 steals is now all that stands between me and 8th place and a playoff birth.

Fun season everybody. One of these years I'm going to go without a season ending injury...

Maybe.
