Not bad. Everyone else is saying about what I am thinking....I am just going to say it longer. Very good team. RB2 is the problem. But I would take a different approach. Take a look at your waiver wire. Is Lawrence Maroney there? Waste no time and pick him up. While RB2 is the big problem now, odds are good dillon will not start every week, and NE didnt spend a first rounder on Maroney for nothing. Sure up that #1 RB slot. You can find someone later to fill the other spot when guys unexpectedly go down. Problem is, Bush is a crapshoot. I think he will be very good, but I would not start him week 1 until I know for sure. Lendell...Probably the least physical back on Tenn, so is likely to lose alot of goaline carries, which is disaster in an RBBC. However, TH and Brown both have injury concerns and White has the most upside in the music city. White is another guy I would like to have on my roster, but not start week 1. Barlow is a likely week 1 starter, but I put as much faith in him as I do a high pressure timeshare pitch. It sounds really good, almost too good...you're not really sure why, but you know its not going to work out as planned. Moderatly good week 1 start. Also, Check the waiver wire for these guys: 1) TJ Duckett - Might be a starter week 1. Gives you a solid #2 for at least week 1. Listen to the news and dump him if it sounds like Portis will be ready. 2) Vernand Morency or Wali Lundy. Houston is supposed to be RBBC for the first week. I expect Lundy to get the job by himself come week 5 or 6 and may not give it back up....pending Dominick Davis's Knee condition. 3) Sam Gado - Davenport is hurt (again) and Green will not make it through the season (again) Just some guys to think about. There is not reason to carry 2 defenses or 2 kickers right now. Drop Reed and Jets DEF and pick up 2 of the above guys (at least Maroney). Give yourself a fighting chance. BTW, love your WRs. Every one of them. Edwards and Jennings are late round possible steals. Evans is severly underrated this year (and its not because I am a bills fan), and then the big 3. Very well done.

If current projections stand, this time next week New Orleans will be hit by Katrina II (AKA Ernesto). Ernest may not be quite as powerful a hurricane, but it will no doubt give Mayor Nagin a chance to prove that he has learned from the events last year and has developed a plan to help get people out of the city. Though I'm not holding my breath. Thoughts and prayers are with all of you on the gulf coast as yet another storm will likely be upon the mainland.

1) Is the OLine improved? 2) Is JP ready to lead this team? 3) Who will be the #2 WR? 4) Is TKO back to being TKO? 5) Will Clements be the elite DB he thinks he is? 6) Will Willis be the elite RB he thinks he is? 7) Who will step and succeed at DT? (There are alot of options here). 8) Is Juron Awake? 9) Will the bills move to LA? 10) What happens if Favre offers to draw a smiley face on JPs nuts? Okay, so I got carried away...but you get the point.

Is the board going down too?? <gasp>

Was I the only one hoping SF would trade up in the draft and select Bush? I would have loved to see a Bush/Gore backfield. And a bonus if they picked up Kerry Collins...and he plays the week Rice is retired.

Not sure who you are refering to, but im talking about Maurice Hicks. Gore hasnt proved he can stay healthy, and Hicks has shown flashes of brilliance in the past. Its clearly Gores job right now, but if he goes down, the potential exists for hicks to take the job and make it his own.

Still need to handcuff him with hicks though

Big Fantasy Trade actually. Increases both Gore and Barlows value. Gore more though. Interesting. Lets see if Barlow passes his physical!

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.

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.

Game gets really boring when you get to the year 2030....what is the objective here anyway?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Exatly..notice Phil Hanson was not on the list...

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.

Fixed your post.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nor would I...but I would feel really good about picking up Ron Dayne or Tatum Bell in the 7th or 8th round.
