  1. Big Fantasy Trade actually. Increases both Gore and Barlows value. Gore more though. Interesting. Lets see if Barlow passes his physical!
  2. UGH....YES JP SHOULD BE THE STARTER!!!!!!!! If not, then JP will be in his 4th year and still not given a chance to earn the job for his own. Give him a leash. Let him hang himself or prove himself. Then we can move on. Every year he does not start is another year we have the same questions. I hate to be so pessimistic, but its not like Holcomb or Nall is going to take us to the playoffs either.
  3. Yeah, i was addicted too...until I got to about 2040 and then gave up. At some point you get basically a self-sustaining business...and there isnt much to do but some maintenance items (shoot cows, move pastures, etc.). Lame.
  4. Game gets really boring when you get to the year 2030....what is the objective here anyway?
  5. Wow, im not quite sure how you took a really funny story coming from a man who doesnt need to be 3rd in line to the presidency and parlayed it into 3 extremely boring and unfunnny links.
  6. Politics as usual is no excuse. Its pathetic and a sign of desparation. Its what you do when you cant win on issues. Its what turns people off on politics. Macaca? 95% of voters wont even know what that means, and will think its silly for being blown up as much as it was. and 95% of them are correct. Who cares. And it still completly amazes me that the democrats can have a former member, Grand Dragon and recruiter for the KKK in the senate and still be able to paint the opposing party as racist.
  7. This is my first exposure to this word as well. I really do not think this will affect anything. Lets assume he IS racist...He is in the middle of a hotly contested senatorial campaign, and a leading candidate for the republican nomination for president in 2008. He has been in politics for 25 years, governor for 4 and senator for 6, and he chooses now to let his racism shine for the world to see? Doubtful. This is chapter 1 of the democrats playbook. Paint all republicans as stupid rich racists who hate the poor. Strom Thurmond - Racist George Bush - Racist (New Orleans) Trent Lott - Racist George Allen - Racist John Ashcroft - Racist Sam Alito - Racist (Princeton Group) It goes ON and ON and ON..and its getting old.
  8. While you are certainally entitled to your opinion, I disagree. Yes, americans know what happened, but for some reason, people seem to forget it happened. People forget the emotions they had, people forget that we did nothing to bring on the attacks. People were care free from terror before the attacks, and are quickly going back to being care free again. The anger is gone. The patriotism is gone. And the enemy sees that. Americans need to be reminded more often about 911. I have not seen this film, but it sounds like it brings back those emotions. Yes, I would like to see most of the profits diverted to charity. Although box office returns prove it is NOT too early for this movie. Maybe it is for you, but evidently its not for many americans. And thats okay.
  9. Yep...happy with mine as well... Plus mine includes winning 4 of the last 5 and finishing up 7-9....which given recent history makes perfect sense. Gives us some unjustified optimism to carry us through the offseason.
  10. Exatly..notice Phil Hanson was not on the list...
  11. Most likely? Probably not. On the short list...probably. I would have to say New Orleans is more likely to move. Jacksonville another possiibility. And the natural fit, San Diego. And dont rule out expansion. A team in Los Angeles and Las Vegas (or somewhere else) might be the most appitizing option. Best situation, get a team in LA while ralph is around to fight.
  12. Once again, the 2 options 1) Tag nate, develop young rookies. Let nate go next year 2) Dont tag nate. Start an inexperienced rookie. Let nate leave this year. That about sums it up. Easy decision if you ask me.
  13. If you have a magazine where he is rated below curtis martin, dont walk, run to the trash can and discard that peice of trash. You're fantasy team will thank you for it.
  14. You people are kiling me. TAKE A LOOK AT OUR CAP SITUATION. We are WAY WAY UNDER THE CAP!!! We cut posey, which gives us EVEN MORE room. Not tagging clements would not resulted in any improvement on the online other than what we currently have on the team. The money was there. We chose not to use it on what was available.
  15. McGahee was a stud in 2004 and rushed for 1100 yards. McGahee ran for over 1200 yards in 2005 and was a bust. Whats the difference? Willis scored 13 TDs in 2004 and 5 in 2005. So, the question to be addreessed is this. -Why did willis only score 5 TDs in 2005, and 13 in 2004? Which year was the normal year and which year was the abberation? The O-Line CANT be worse this year. It just cant be. Mularkey is gone. Willis is lighter and faster. All things running in his favor. In a 14 team league, unless you have some crazy scoring rules, McGahee should be a 1st round pick.
  16. Nor would I...but I would feel really good about picking up Ron Dayne or Tatum Bell in the 7th or 8th round.
  17. Oh, man...i thought that was going to be the pixi guy
  18. Baskett could be a very good UDFA. I also look forward to seeing him tonight.
  19. Not sure I understand your comment, but we start QB,RB,RB,WR,WR,WR,TE,W/T,R/W,PK,DEF.
  20. This year there is an interchangable top 3. LT, LJ, SA. Then #4 is clearly Portis Then a bunch of guys from there out. #5 is a tough position IMO. If portis is there take him. If not...your guess is as good as mine. HOWEVER Manning is the incorrect pick at #5. In a 14 team league RBs are even more important. 28 RBs will start every week in your league. Once by weeks start kicking in, EVERY RUNNING BACK STARTING IN AN NFL GAME WILL BE PLAYING IN YOUR LEAGUE. There will be no spares. This includes Tennesse, Jets, 49ers and other teams where the starting job is still in the air. Someone will be thrilled having Barlow or Chris Brown starting. Someone will be thrilled their opponenet is forced to start Greg Jones because they have no other RB. You HAVE to get 2 startgin RBs, or you will be in deep sh--. Really you need 3. You cant risk taking manning then waiting and getting a couple guys later.
  21. I did a 10 team online auction this year. My roster as follows: QB Plummer QB E. Manning RB Barber RB Bush RB McCallister RB McGahee RB Droughns RB Dunn WR Ward WR D. Jackson WR D. Driver WR K. McCardell WR D. Bennett WR J. Jerivicious TE A. Crumpler TE Winslow DEF Cin PK Elam Also had Westbrook, but I traded him for Hines Ward...I didnt mean to, I hit the wrong button, but I needed to trade a RB for a top WR. Took a couple of weeks. Basically a message board. Every team always had 2 guys nominated (so there was 20 guys "alive" at all times". Once nobody bid on a player for 24 hours, the bid was closed and another player was nominated. Worked out well. One guy wound up with both LT and LJ. I am interested to see how that works out for him. But thats what is cool about auction drafts. you CAN blow your whole budget on LT and LJ. No way that happens in a redraft league.
