HEster might work, I don't like Bowe or Berrian.

SJ is getting old, Ricky-pot-head-williams might be ok this year.

Ryan is meh, Eli dosen't have good receivers around him anymore.

Depends on league rules, but I think most of the NFC North Defences are always top 10. (except Detroit). I'm not sure how good hte eagles are going to be this year.

Just had the draft for one of my fantasy teams, check out my squad:

QB: Matt Ryan, Eli Manning
RB: Chris Johnson, Steven Jackson, Ahmad Bradshaw, Ricky Williams
WR: Dwayne Bowe, Devin Hester, Bernard Berrian, Kevin Walter
TE: Zach Miller, Heath Miller
K: Rob Bironas
DST: Eagles

What do you all think? Any trades I should be looking to pull off?

You missed bad on both QB and WR how could you miss getting the best from both of those positions? The rest looks good.

How did he miss bad? He's solid at QB, dominant at RB, has one good WR, a very good Tight End, the best Kicker, and an Eagle's defense that should be interesting.

I imagine you'll start Manning over Ryan towards the end (depending on how the WR thing starts looking in NY) because Matty is going to have a lot harder schedule than last year.

I have been burned by Jackson so many times.... If he has a good game then look to deal him. His O line is weak which means that even if he gets the hand off's he is going to take a pounding... TE are solid. Eagles is a bit of a toss. They aren't as good as they were but still not bad. QB are ok nothing special both should put up decent points each game. I don't really have a lot of love for ex bears or current bear WR's. Even with our new QB. But that hasn't stopped me from taking both of them. I think that over all you are solid. Seriously though If jackson has a great game look to deal him for a hot WR from a pass happy team.

It will also come down to which team has locked up a play off spot and which one is in the middle of a PL race.

HoosierDaddy did you misunderstand me?

I only said he missed at QB and WR.

I will eat my old cap if any of those end in the top 10 for their position this season.

[HoosierDaddy]

I'm sorry, could you repeat the question, I can't read it, the writing is too faint.

[Thelomen Toblerone]

QB-wise, the folliwing had gone by the middle of the 4th round (when I picked):

Romo, Warner, Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Rivers, McNabb.

Out of the remaining, I figured Ryan would do the best, or at least hold some trade value if I chuck in someone else. Managed to pick up Eli bottom of the 11th round, and he's not a terrible back-up, so I figured it was worth it, and I can wait and see if Hixon et al develop rapidly early in the season.

WR-wise, I did sort od gamble a bit, there werent many good WRs left when I came to pick so I went the sleeper route a little. I figured Hester will at least improve on last years totals due to more experience, teams watching for Forte's rushing, and Cutler. He picked up 3 TDs and 665yds last season, he's top of the depth chart and only going to get better, and I think 750yds and 5TDs is the minimum return I'll get.

Berrian, I thought again, top of the depth chart at Minnesota, got nearly 1000yards and 7TDs last season, and if Favre does come along, which I strongly suspect he will, he's going to do better - Sidney Rice has improved, there's Peterson, and now Harvin for teams to watch, so Favre could sling a few bombs to Berrian in single coverage.

Bowe I went for as my no.1 receiver which was a massive gamble, I didnt really know who to pick at that point, but he's KC's top receiver, will be playing in the AFC WEST, ffs, against the worst defences known to man (Im thinking Broncos, here), Gonzalez has gone so he'll be undisputed top target, there's a better QB, and he should at least go over 1000yds again.

Walter's an able back-up, if you're playing alongside Andre Johnson you'll always get a few catches, he got 900yds and 8 TDs last season, which isnt terrible, and if Schaub can stay fit all season he should do better.

Im hoping to be able to package maybe Bowe and someone else for a proper no 1 wideout, but Im loathe to give up either of my RBs. One guy's got Fitzgerald AND Jennings, so he might be a good target for a trade.

Steve McNair was shot to death in Nashville.

RIP Air McNair.

Shit. He was a cool dude. A murder suicide, perhaps?

UPDATE -- A Nashville police spokesman identified the woman as Sahel Kazemi, a "friend" of McNair's. A pistol was found near her body. She suffered a single gunshot wound to the head, police say, and McNair "was shot multiple times."


Crazy bitches.

Oh, he'd gone as well, of course I just forgot to stick him in the list. I may be stupid but Im not THAT stupid to pass on Peyton in round 4!

McNair got caught playing away from home, it seems.

Yeah, those guys were pretty choked up. Eddie George should leave the poetry to the Humanities majors though...

Has anybody seen this shit yet? The T.O. Show

Wow.


That looks very dramatic and life changing.

Sweet, sweet football. I've suffered through the barren wasteland of sport known as basketball, hockey, and baseball season, a bleak desert of boring interrupted only by the occasional oasis of mma. I need my football. It's time to start making hot wings and taco dip every week. Too bad my football watching buddy moved.

Chad Ochocinco (WR) Cincinnati Bengals

Ochocinco won't have to kick extra points anymore. The Cincinnati Bengals signed rookie kicker Sam Swank from Wake.

I hope this guy is good because over here the press would kill him with that name if he missed a few kicks.

[Thelomen Toblerone]

I'm drooling at the prospect of potential one-liners already.

[Mutzy]

Say hello to Football Season, and the Packers dominating the game. Our new 3-4 defense is looking good and our offense is epic. Good solid rushing and an awesome passing package.
