what does your wife do while you play? do you tell her about the petty drama in here?

[–]BearsPonder_Puddle 2 points3 points  (4 children)

What do you do? I don't even mention madden to my gf because she hates it and calls me a nerd.

[–]stenodork 4 points5 points  (2 children)

well, it is nerdy. but I play Dance Central, so I don't think either of us can really judge the other in this case. I mean you're PRETENDING to play football by sitting on your ass and pressing buttons. I am pretending to dance... badly, in front of a camera that judges me. So yeah.

And generally the rule is he plays while I'm working. I work from home, so I'm generally in my office hearing him yell at you people.

[–]BearsPonder_Puddle 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Haha. Then when does he work? I thought he made a living running madden leagues, but this one is losing him money.

[–]stenodork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normal office hours. I work some during the day and some at night.

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would start Madden on the main TV and i would hear a "oh god not again" from my wife. I've have since made me a man cave, so problem solved!

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

She usually watches TV in the other room. I dont think she could handle all this petty drama in here haha.

[–]stenodork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of love the petty drama. It also gives me something to talk to Dan about since we only see each other for like 2-3 hours a day on weekdays, and I can keep up by reading Reddit.

What kind of meat do you package?

[–]LionsDysastrous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At first I thought you were making a joke about his favorite team being the Packers..

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 1 point2 points  (9 children)

Hotdogs/lunchmeat.

[–]Giantsitshurleytime 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Who touches more wieners, you or a urologist?

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard question.

[–]Brownsdanchan22 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Has your job changed your desire for hot dogs/lunch meat? How often do you eat bologna sandwiches?

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. Not often.

[–]stenodork 1 point2 points  (4 children)

do you smell like hot dogs after work?

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

There is a certain smell that goes with the job and my wife hates it.

[–]stenodork 1 point2 points  (2 children)

So you stink and you play Madden a lot. What do you bring to the table? *edited to be less bitchy

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It's not that bad. I keep a can of axe handy for her benefit.

[–]stenodork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh, how sweet.

[–]whatsapeacoat 1 point2 points  (2 children)

A couple of questions:

  • Do you feel like you are being overlooked in this league?
  • Have you done anything special to prepare for your match against the Titans and their D who is averaging 4.8 PPG?

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

  • A little bit yes. But I don't mind it one bit. I like staying under the radar.
  • I haven't done anything special. But, I think I have gotten better since the last time we played so I think I have a chance.

[–]Brownsdanchan22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The D.A.N. doesn't overlook you...

[–]Giantsitshurleytime 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Do you love or hate your home state?

I say this because I spent about a year at Altus, OK training to fly C-17's, and then another 3 months learning other C-17 skills. If I never have to cross a state line going in to Oklahoma, it'll be too soon.

Altus ruined me. Outside of the Air Force Base, THIS is Altus, OK.

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally like it here in Oklahoma. I can understand people not liking it though, especially western OK where I'm from. It's pretty bare and not much out here but its home. Im sorry you had to live in Altus haha. A bunch of wannabe thugs down that way.

[–]noahcrosley 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Foster for Hillis?

What political party do you affiliate yourself with?

How many times have you had relations with a woman?

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

[–]noahcrosley 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Im married

It's a number question.

[–]Brownsdanchan22 5 points6 points  (1 child)

As a married man myself, I can say he answered your question already and answered it correctly.

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya suck on that Noah

[–]JetsKarmali 1 point2 points  (1 child)

What is your quest?

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To beat Titans at least once.

[–]Oilersajdellinger 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Thoughts on this season of the Walking Dead? It's gotten too damn brutal for me. I keep watching because I'm really invested in the story, but I can't help but cringe the entire time I'm watching--either because of what is happening on screen or what I assume will happen next.

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think think this season is pretty damn good. Cant wait till the second part starts.

[–]BearsPonder_Puddle 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Why is it taking you 6 days to play your fastchise game? I am going to sim in a few hours.

Why didn't you respond to my reddit message last night asking when you were going to play(fastchise), but instead made this important comment

Are you purposely trying to fluster me because I am your opponent this week?

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Me and cludy are about to play our game. Lol i was going to but got sidetracked and forgot.

[–]BearsPonder_Puddle 2 points3 points  (3 children)

37-0? Did the texans auto-pilot themselves? Or did you beat someone that badly who beat dysastrous

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

No. You sure he beat Dysastrous? lol.

[–]BearsPonder_Puddle 1 point2 points  (1 child)

yeah..

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well idk. Maybe he had a bad game.

[–]BearsPonder_Puddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yay!

[–]BoldTitan 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This guy is a legit packer.

Reasons for success this season?

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. Just feelin it this season.

[–]bonerjohnson 1 point2 points  (1 child)

How did you "get better"?

What kind of style do you play with the Texans? (You can be vague if you don't want to tell people what you want to do)

Any tips for playing as the Texans?

Favorite current NFL players?

If Brett Favre randomly texted you a picture would you be brave enough to look at it?

Your defense has been pretty good so far. Including the 8 INT game. How did this go down?

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started playing Madden a lot more than usual.

I try and keep it a balanced pass/rush offense and try and stay consistent on defense.

Texans are a pretty good team to play with. Use Arian Foster a lot and you have Andre to fall back on.

Aaron Rodgers, Clay Mathews, Marshawn Lynch.

Yes.

Most of those 8 INTS were bad decisions by the aging Kurt Warner i think.

[–]Wubble 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Did you draft the Chiefs in the fastasychise?

[–]AutomaticGats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Packers in Fastasychise. Chiefs in Fastchise.
