  1. I'm with chilly. You get your pick of the litter then later on in the draft you have back to backs which helps immensely imo. Also you will 3 players in the top 25 on your team. That should be a great start.
  2. I couldn't disagree more. Maybe a few years ago but anymore people link to raw feeds or ustream or something of the like. I use it for a redzone on Sundays and all of the prime time games without issue.
  3. According to the guide for those of us in the syracuse market the game will be on cw6.
  4. A resounding no for me http://insidethepylon.com/film-study/film-study-nfl/offense-film-study-nfl/2016/02/01/bryan-storks-head-bob-costs-patriots/ The Denver Broncos formidable defense was even better than advertised against the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game. However, careful review of the film – and some help from Tom E. Curran – shows that they were receiving help from an unlikely source. Philip Kibbey explains how Bryan Stork was tipping the snap on nearly every down.
  5. Sheesh we are like one post away from summoning Badol to this thread please lets stop! You started with he stomped some cops which there is no evidence nor was he charged. Now you have changed it to brawled with cops and the video shows a blurry person who maybe might possibly be McCoy throwing a punch. In any case he wasn't charged. Perhaps there is more to the story than you or I know? Can we now get back to discussing the video? Great Job Erik - I see you on Reddit as well. Love the Billscentric information keep it coming please!
  6. I do usually try to give people the benefit of the doubt that they are talking relative to others in the profession but yep. Vick is a great example. He was inaccurate but it didn't matter. He was likely the best athlete in the entire NFL. That is incredible. I have stood next to a few NFLers and there pure size amazed me. Then talking about them running sub 5 seconds for 40 yards... Jeez. I always wondered what the US Team would be like if Soccer was as big here as it is elsewhere. Putting some of these NBA/NFL players on a soccer field would be interesting.
  7. I played Soccer in college but had no illusions of going pro lol. It was so involved though and took up so much of my time I often wondered what it would have to be like for D1 Basketball/Football players. I love Soccer and by the end of the season I would be burnt out. It was beyond a full time job. I get Ricky Williams. Sometimes the fun gets taken out of the "game." These guys do have to pour everything in to it as you say. Now I ref and it has given me perspective for the guys in stripes. I have a hard time booing them. The rule books are so obnoxious for sports these days, the rules have the letter of the law and the spirit of them, fans don't know them as well as they think they do, and you have to rely on what you saw in full speed while everyone else gets the benefit of super slo-motion. I feel for some of them. Then there are guys who have it out for a team (yes it happens even in HS) a la Walt Coleman who I can't stand. Or guys who want it to be about them (Hochuli - although he is a good ref). I don't mind when those guys get some heat and yes Bobby Sura could ball! That is kind of my point though lol. A name that is likely forgotten by a majority of people was the best player on the court that day and it blew my mind lol. Gave me a much different perspective on the pro athlete (I was still in HS with delusions of grandeur )
  8. As we all saw in SB 25 ball control is the kryptonite to this style. Good thing the Bills employ it! On a side note... Playing sports year round as a kid I never once threw up from playing. It would really surprise me if a professional athlete would in the second preseason game where I doubt they are going 110% and are only playing for a quarter or 2. Nobody else has substantiated this comment from Landry and I'm thinking it may be a bit of hyperbole.
  9. I always have to catch myself. Especially NBA players. I watched a preseason game live and Bobby Sura and LaMond Murray tore up the court and put on a show (how about those names lol). Even the worst players on the court/field are likely better at what they do than I ever will be at anything.
  10. Then you must not have watched the video... Moving on.... It looks like Tyrod may have been a beat late with his throw to McCoy. He takes one extra hop before unleashing the ball. Also it is hard to tell from the angle but why did the lb drop his hand instead of trying to tip the pass?
  11. Your style isn't over anyone's head. It is tired and obnoxious.... It is sad though. When you actually discuss football you make good posts. However when you play WEO jr.....
  12. I have to second COD being hot garbage anymore. It used to be the only game I play but the last 3 efforts have been sub par to say the least. Rocket League is a fun little game that is either free or dirt cheap with ps+. It is soccer with RC cars and a ton of fun. One of those games that takes a minute to learn but a long time to master.
  13. I'm assuming you went Elliott first which I get if you like him but I don't like him over some of the guys you must have passed on. Good job getting Morris as the handcuff. I really like your starting WRs as well as Aiken althoughI like Landry better in PPR. I'm thinking Fuller will be your cut for a bye as a rookie wr with a crappy qb doesn't sound like a recipe for success. If I'm guessing 1. Elliott 2. ARob 3. Rawls 4. Landry 5. Olsen Where did you go in round 6? Ballsy going Jameis with not other option. Starting QB and Flex are the biggest question marks in your starting lineup for me. Good spots to have question marks as the waiver can provide an answer to both of those spots. Just some feedback for fun
  14. Supposedly have been offered up to a 3rd but the Browns aren't interested in trading him.
  15. If interested PM me. I have an answer for your viewing issues...
  16. This is a no brainer to me. When able to be on the field he is electric. I would part with up to a 3rd for him but I don't know if that would be enough to get him.
  17. Yup was gonna recommend this. 8 episodes and though we rarely do this, my wife and I binged through them in 3 days. I thought they did an excellent job with the 80s feel all around.
  18. Yeah I erroneously read it as 215k of guaranteed money each year.
  19. hmmm I guess I misunderstood it then. Here are his contract details. I thought the team that claimed him would be on the hook for the remainder of his contract and it would be as written. I knew they wouldn't be on the hook for signing bonus but thought they would for the remainder of any guaranteed money.
  20. Yup I think we have to look no further than the Pats* Dante Scarnechi (sp?) who was brought back this year after Stork tipped the snap the entire AFC Championship game. If he doesn't do that I think the Pats may be back to back champs...
  21. To NoSaint and Kirby Karlos going unclaimed could be simple economics. As a 5th rounder he signed a 4 year deal which means that team would be on the hook for 3 more years after this. So a flyer on him would be a little more costly then letting him clear waivers then signing him for just this year. 525k for 1 year would be a good deal for a flyer but approx. 2 million for a 3 year deal if he doesn't get his head on isn't. I will guarantee Karlos is signed shortly AFTER his suspension. It could even be by the Bills if he gets his stuff together and it will be for very close to the league minimum.
  22. I agree completely. I think Saturday was Gay's chance to sink or swim and he sunk. If he went perfect I think they could have possibly cut Carp. Now it looks like Gay is gone to me.
  23. Is there a cost associated with keeping for example the round they were drafted? If not keep your best 2 players whoever you like best. I would think Luck and McCoy/Cooper. I always seem to end up with TOrrey Smith on my team and hate it. He is good enough to not drop but not good enough that anyone wants him. He just sits on the bench all year lol. I think this draft is a little short on RB. Ryan Mathews is always an injury risk and you are left with 2 backup rbs to plug in. I never draft a backup te and most of the time not a backup qb (although I love Tyrod at his ADP). There is almost always a waiver wire plug and play for the bye week.
  24. No way Zeke goes that late. It may have been after the injury scare but I haven't seen him out of the first and absolute latest early 2nd. I'll explain my fascination with zero rb below. Since I don't think anyone of you guys are in my leagues lol: Use beer sheets. They have sheets for every single type of league and do a great job. Probably my favorite pre draft resource. This year is all about wrs. Grab them early as (hope I don't jinx it) wrs are pretty consistent and you know who the top guys are. Rbs are not year to year. This year I can argue against every single top back. AP is old, Gurley plays on a terrible team and doesn't have a full year of production, Neither does D Johnson, Lamar although he has shined when playing hasn't been a bellcow, etc... Barring injury (can't predict) you know AB, Julio, OBJ, etc.. are consistent big performers. You can also wait on qbs this year as some good producers are going very late. If you are a 10 team league Tyrod is going VERY late as well as Stafford, Matt Ryan, etc... Now for RBs I go by the strategy that you can never have to many. Last year people in one of my leagues laughed at me as I ended up with 8 rbs at the end of the draft. I just threw as much against the wall as I could. RBs are so hard to peg so I go by grab as many as I can and hope. Obviously having studs at other positions helps with this strategy. Most of this is probably well known but its how I am approaching the draft this year...
