That's right, he does. And with the way you are posting, you will pass him up by opening day.

I don't know. Send him about three or four private messages just to be sure.

I'm going to tell everyone this once because we already had some airhead asking about the release of this mod in another thread. I don't want Kraw or anyone else bugged about when this is going to be coming out. No questions. No crying. No complaining that it is not out yet. When he decides to, it is going to be released. We had enough people driving him nuts last year with Mvp 06. So anyone that tries this this year won't be around here to see the release of this mod.

Wow, that looks great. That should be a must-have download for our Spanish speaking friends here.

HFLR, can you post some screenshots of your work?

Updated to 1-28 ...I went to my very first basketball game in my life on Thursday. It was an ABA league game and I had complimentary courtside seats. If anyone has ever sat courtside, you'll know what I mean when I say the view there is impressive. ...I love the YES Network especially when they air Yankee Classics in the winter. ...Sometimes you got to tip your hat to even the people you hate. So, here's to you Scott Boras. You managed to get Jeff Weaver an 8 million dollar a year contract for winning only eight games last year with a combined ERA over 5.00. And that right there is what I hate about baseball. ...I can drink Orange Juice every single day of the year. My favorite kind? The "no pulp" one. ...Why is Texas Hold-Em called Texas Hold-Em? ...I never knew who Lane Kiffin was until I heard that he got hired as Oakland's head coach. Good luck, I hope you turn them around. ...It is time for the Yankees to respectively and swiftly cut the ties to Bernie Williams. ...Does anyone believe that Bill Parcells is really retired? ...Maria Sharapova forces me to watch tennis even when I don't want to. ...Old people should not drive in the winter, or at least not that much. They are an accident waiting to happen.

Do you have to talk like an idiot?

Before you begin to kill this thread with an endless onslaught of questions, let me explain what this thread is about. It's a thread where anyone here can post their thoughts, their random thoughts, hence the name of the thread. So if one guy dislikes the NBA, the next guy posting may or may not agree with it. You just post whatever is on your mind. The reason why I posted that NBA comment today was I was looking through the channels last night to see what I wanted to watch and I saw an NBA game on. I don't know who was playing or what the score was, I just kept moving. That's why I made my comment. And if you like basketball more than baseball, why don't you go and find a NBA forum to hang out at?

Updated to 1-21 ...I don't remember the last time I sat down and watched an NBA game and I have no plans in the near future of doing so. ...Since when is a Championship game on at night? All this time one of the games for the AFC and NFC championship would start at 1 pm and the other one at 4 pm. Now the game I really want to see isn't on until 6:30 tonight. ...Speaking of the championship games, the most pressure on anyone playing today is on Peyton Manning. This is his make or break game, once again. ...Sometimes I can't figure out people. No, strike that. Most of the time I can't. At the beginning of this month where I live, we had no snow fall and people were wondering where it was. Well, this week the snow showed up and we got plenty of it. Now the same people who were wondering where it was are now complaining that it is here. ...With all the good moves that the Yankees have made in the off season, I'm still worried about this team. You see, Kyle Farnsworth is still on the roster and that spells disaster. ...And does anyone else think that somehow Roger Clemens is going to make a return to New York? Yeah, I'd rather have him than Randy Johnson, but I don't like how he left in 2003. ...It was nice to see the Canadians take it to the Sabres last night. ...Look at this True type font I found last night. It's called Fenway Park JF, whatever the heck that means. If anyone wants it, it's theirs because I won't be using it. I've got principles. ...As fast as USC's Steve Sarkisian was a candidate for the Oakland job it seemed just as fast that he was not. I have no idea what is going on there. ...I hate January, it just drags on.

After reading BigJay's post, I am once again glad I am not 14 anymore. Then again, in some ways, I miss it.

Updated to 1-14 ...As exciting as the two playoff games were last night, the ones today should be even better. I'll be watching the Charger one, and ignoring the Bears game, with the hope that Chicago gets killed. ...I read a stat this week that really showed how bad Oakland was this year. The Chargers scored 176 FOURTH QUARTER points this year, the most in the NFL. For the entire year the Raiders scored 168 points. Ouch. ...One final cheer for the Chargers. They restricted ticket sales for today's game for residents only in Southern California, thus preventing rich New Englanders from coming in and buying tickets to root for the Patriots. Sure, they still can go to the game, but they'll have to get their tickets from a ticket reseller, and they'll sit in the nosebleed area. Stay home, you're not wanted. ...I like having bacon occasionally in the morning, but I hate it on anything else. ...Three cheers to good guy Jeff Nelson, who went out with class this week as a Yankee. ...And speaking of class, Barry Bonds has none if he really did what the papers say he did, blaming a teammate for him testing positive for amphetamines, and then retracting the statement. ...One month from today, Yankee pitchers and catchers report to Florida. Doesn't that sound good? ...Lately, I've been on an audio book kick. I've been listening to a lot of them. "The Godfather", "Treasure Island", "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn" are the ones I just finished. ...Someone set me straight on something here. Is it recommended to have a hi-def TV if you have a PS3 or a 360? You know, just to get the most out of it? I've been hearing yes and no answers about this and I figured I go to the experts in here. ...Ok, who's the wise guy that took Tribetime from this website? I haven't seen him in a long time.

That's right. I just looked it up. Man was I wrong on that one.

Did you know that there was talk about having an "all banned" team? But then smarter heads prevailed because we didn't want to give those guys any recognition.

No, no problem. It's just that these rosters took a very long time to create and it probably wouldn't be worth the trouble to do it again. Tell you what, do you have the Mvp 06 mod? If so, look at the Fanatics roster. You will see a player named F. Player. That's short for Franchise player. Grab yourself a copy of Mvp Edit and edit that guy's name and put your name in and put your stats in and there you go. Goodbye Franchise player and hello BigRog. Now, I'm going to be very embarrassed if we actually have a member here named Franchise Player....Ok, I just looked it up. We don't have one. Kraw must have added him in.

I "jump down your throat" as you say because you jump into things before you know what you are talking about. Let me use Olyrunner for example. She was put on the fanatics roster even though she modded a stadium. She made the Tacoma Rainiers stadium that you may or may not have played in yet. And yes, with KG's rosters he can be put on the Mod Squad team, but who would you take off it? Each modder already there is a deserving one.

That's not a good idea. We had a hard enough time before getting this roster put together. We went through months and months of nothing being done about it and at one point Fuzz was going to do the rosters, but that fell through. Luckily, we had Krawhitham come in and set the rosters up. He has more important things to do now. And it doesn't matter if some of the people are not as active on the forums anymore. They earned their spot on the team. It would figure you would co sign pistonj92's post. Another spammer heard from. Another one crying about not being on either one of the rosters because you weren't on the site yet. I think DJ has an old copy of the rosters. You are on the Forum Fanatics my friend, and you are one of the starters. No, and for three very good reasons. 1. You have no idea how long it took us to come up with the rosters. The Forum Fanatics roster and Mod Squad rosters you see in Mvp 06 are a result of a thread I started back in November of 2005. It was my intention then to gauge everyone's interest in these rosters once again. You see, back in February of 2005, that was when we first decided to do it. Then it kind of died down and before you knew it, no one talked about it. But like I said, I got the ball rolling again in November 2005, and then Kraw finalized the rosters and he put them in Mvp 06. 2. Each person that was on the team had to give us their player makeup. You have no idea how hard it was trying to get the stats from 25 different people. I was in charge of getting the FF ones, and the way people dragged their feet sending us the required information is something I don't want to do again. 3. Finally, Kraw has stated he has no interest in doing an update, so that ends that. No Hory, its a good roster set. Not everyone was going to be on it. The newer guys here have to understand it. Kraw did a superb job of making this work after all the months when nothing was done about this.

Yeah, she'll make the pain go away. Lucky guy.

You don't have to stick to anything. In fact, do it any way that you prefer to. No big deal at all.

Updated to 1-7 ...It's enjoyable watching the NFL playoffs when you don't care who wins or loses. I'm just going along for the ride. ...I am not going to cheer about Randy Johnson leaving the Yankees until it is 100% final. Let him have his extension in Arizona. Of course, this year he'll have an ERA of 2.35 and win 20 games because there is no pressure to win in Arizona. ...Nothing against you at all Bernie Williams, but get the hell out of here. ...Why is it that the Walmart stores are so dirty and the Target stores are so clean? ...Where I work, two people retired last week. I can't imagine how long it will be for me to be in that position. ...Took my wife out for her birthday to her favorite restaurant, an Italian steakhouse. It was nice. The trouble is, we sat near a kid that had to express herself by screaming all the time. This has been happening a lot to me lately when we've gone out. At times, deaf people don't have it so bad. ...What makes blu-ray DVD's so special? ...Thank God I got that Yankee DVD set of games that I can watch over this winter to hold me over until the spring training games. ...And, with Total Classics Phase 7 coming out very soon (as Fuzz says) it is going to be a very good first quarter of the year for Mvp Baseball. ...I was in Best Buy two days ago. EA has a sports bundle set that they are selling for $29.99 if anyone is interested. It has the sports games from 2006. Madden 06, NHL 06, Tiger Woods 06, Nascar Sim Racing and NBA Live 06. For that price, it isn't bad. Here is the link.

It sure did fly by, didn't it? And to all our members that don't know what we are talking about, ask NYM Happy New Year, to all our members, both current and not here anymore.

Hahahahah, I don't know! You don't have to if you don't want to, start a new tradition. :)

Updated to 12-31 ...I hope everyone that had off from school this week really had a good week off. When I was in school, this week was always a fun time to have off. ...I think for the average Yankee fan a belated Christmas gift would be watching Randy Johnson being shipped out of town. I'm sick of bad back pitchers on the Yankees like Johnson and Kevin Brown, who most of the time got lit up by the opposition. ...Just watch, the Raiders are going to beat the Jets today. I just have a feeling. ...And if I'm wrong about this, I'll just go back in here and edit that last line out. :shrug: ...I defy anyone to tell me that Carrie Underwood is not hot. I could care less if she's a Country music singer. Nobody's perfect. ...No knee surgery for me in January. I had to push it back. I had some sick time all saved up for this but I used it up for something that came up in November. And I'll be honest with you, it's going to be tough to make it like this for another year. Oh well. ...The toughest part of the possibility of having Doug Mientkiewicz on the Yankees is learning how to spell that guy's name. The only reason why I have it correct right now is because I cut and pasted his name. :hmph: ...Has anyone checked out the new fielding cams by thasainted40? Trust me, give them a shot. They look great. The things you guys come up with to improve this game is amazing. ...I love my MusicMatch Jukebox. ...Note to NYM: It's the two year anniversary for you-know-what. Wow. ...Everyone please take care if you are going out and about tonight. Enjoy yourselves and come home in one piece. Let's have a great 2007.

Updated to 12-24 ...Before I get started on my random thoughts of this week, I'd like to thank Time Magazine for making me Person of the Year. ...Hasn't this month just flown by? ...I know last week I said that I was tired of hearing Christmas songs, but now that it's Christmas Eve, those same songs sound better to me right now. ...I'll never understand people who start their Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve. I don't even want to drive past a store today. ... Dogs are a weakness of mine.We have a little puppy, she's a little dachshund. That's not her pictured, I just got a picture of the breed to show you. But she's as innocent looking as that dog. But don't let that fool you. She can chew through a pair of shoes like no one's business and can give you a sad face when you catch her in the act. She knows darn well she has me wrapped around her paw. ...My God, have you seen the newest version of Classic Yankee Stadium by PaulW and SeanO? Stunning is the first word that comes to mind. Thank you both. ...I can't help but thinking of MarkB's comments in here that he made a few days ago. I usually have a lot of contact with Mark over the course of the week but this week I had none and after reading that I found out why. I also know that the person who did this is very lucky that he wasn't there. What's next for that guy? Taking an old person's groceries? ...I went to see Rocky Balboa yesterday evening and if anyone has not had a chance to see it, I won't spoil the movie for you. I'll just say that I enjoyed it very much and it was a hell of a movie. Good job Rock. ...The Yankees got hit with a 26 million dollar tax by Commando Selig. By next year when Randy "do nothing" Johnson being off the books and some others, maybe we won't have to pay that much. ...Have a great holiday everyone. You all deserve it and every one of you make this place as special as it is.

Pretty powerful stuff Mark. I'm sorry this happened to her and those other two people. Of course, I hope they catch the S.O.B. and really make him pay.

....You all have no idea how happy I am to be back home. I spent a weekend down at the inlaws and I felt like I was Marty Mcfly going back in time to 1955. Where my wife's family comes from, no television cable has gone before. ...My back is killing me. I actually had to sleep on the floor Friday night because the bed was that uncomfortable. I got a rug burn on my elbow when I was trying to move around down there at night and I had the dog look at me like "what the hell are you doing here?" ...What did I miss here over the weekend? You guys got to know I would have rather been here reading anyone's posts instead of watching TV all day Saturday. It was watch TV or go and watch a three year old have his picture taken with Santa. Remote control anyone? ...I start work again tomorrow for the first time in over a month. I've been out all this time because I was not feeling well. It'll take me awhile to get back in the swing of my daily routine. ...If any of you are near the Syracuse, New York area, go by the lake and take a look at the "Lights at the Lake" Christmas lights display that they have there. It's well worth it. ...Reading DJ's random thoughts, I got to comment on his Walmart one where they are staying open 24 hours until December 24th. DJ, to answer your own question, if you have time this week, drive past Walmart at 3 or 4 in the morning. You'll be shocked at how many cars are there. ...Hmm, looking at the football scores now....Oakland lost again....moving on. ...If there is any Yankee news that happened from Friday afternoon until Sunday night, I haven't heard it yet. I just have been hearing about them maybe dealing with Pittsburgh for some slug and Melky is involved with the deal. No way, I say. ...Thank God this is the last full week we have to listen to Christmas songs. Yeah, I like them, but over and over? ...I'm glad I have the NFL Network.
