I wouldn't go that far. They were handed the Philly game and the Giants were one of the worst playoff teams ever. Coming from an Eagles fan, I also think Dallas goes in and beats Chicago. Chicago hasn't shown the ability to go up and down the field if necessary. While they should hold Dallas' O in check, they still probably breakthrough for 17-21 poins. Assuming Hester is avoided, I don't know if Chicago can get there.

Agreed, if you haven't made the decision already I'd start Leinart. Bullshit from my money league: I go into last nights game with a 29 point lead with Terrell Owens and Mark Clayton left and the other guy has Carson Palmer (not really a QB heavy point system vs. Baltimore looks good) and Plaxico fucking Burress. Where the hell did that game come from? Owens got me 25 points but Burress was the leagues high scorer with 47, so now I need Clayton to do something. Burress, what the fuck?

Maybe I will just go with the pick against the Chiefs strategy all season since Houston worked out.

Come on now, that wasn't a fumble on the last kickoff. It was the old ugly failed lateral return. But they are not going anywhere important with special teams like that. Sad as it is to say they need Reno Mahe back since apparently he is the only person who knows how to make a fair catch signal. And this was not the game McNabb needed to fend off the locals when Kolb is in the background. I feel bad for the defense. They were the big question going into the season and they were terrific.

According to ESPN's bottom line It's OVA.

Is ESPN allowed to switch at will now that there is the Big Ten Network showing those games?

Reminder, draft tonight at 7:30 est

Alright, room for one more. I forgot to lower the minimum teams from last season's settings. I have set them now to 18 teams and we have 17 in. Also, for now there is just one no go about Sat's time so we are sticking with it and you'll just need to pre-rank if you can't make it.

Actually, I did not look at the bye weeks once until looking into the Holt trade to see where that left me. The RBs were just too good of value in the slots I got them. I had no intention of taking a 3rd RB until after the 6th where I had Maroney, but Jones in the 5th round was just all kinds of redonkulous. I was going to take a backup TE where I got Foster but Greg Olsen was snagged a couple picks ahead of me and there was no one else worth a pick.

Yeah, I was shocked he was there that late and Williams went in the 7th round. I like Williams more, but if you are talking Williams at 7 and Foster at 15 I'll take Foster every day and twice on Sunday. I wasn't interested at all in taking a 6th back, but it was just ridiculous value. It also helped me propose the Holt deal since I figure Jones should be a good 2 and at least one of Jordan/Taylor/Foster should be able to step up as a low 3 to spell me for the bye weeks. Nothing wrong with more bullets in the chamber. RBs taken after Williams Jamal Lewis (1000 yards and 9 TDs last year) Fred Taylor (1100 yards) Ahman Green (1000 yards) Julius Jones (1000 yards) Jordan (awful last year, but monster year 2 years ago for PPR league. Offense has to improve) Chester (1200 yards last year, looking at no worse of a platoon than Williams/Foster) Brandon Jackson (young, but has lead for starter as opposed to committee) Williams had 500 yards last year and I haven't seen anything so far to guarantee he gets many more looks this year.

So is there any purpose to E at this point? They already pussed E out after two eps on the Anna deal and cost him her, because heaven forbid you give him something semi-interesting to do for any stretch. Now he is just back to being the downer as opposed to being a competent manager. I do love the "whatever shall we do, Oh My Gawd it's Kayne West and he is going somewhere completely different but here at the same exact time". Even writers on The Simpsons think that was a ridiculous cameo appearance.

well, turns out moving it back was not an option. So I've changed it to Saturday at 7:30 since it seemed to go well for Harley's draft. Unless there are overwhelming objections that will be the draft day and time, because the prime time slots are getting full. If you can't make it, make sure to preorder.

The tsm league? Whatever they were last year, just transferred the settings. If you meant my league, standard 1pt per 10 rush/rec yds, 6 per td, 1 per 25 pass yards, 4 per pass td, and ppr.

Also, time for another rousing edition of How'd I Do? 10 team league, 4th pick, PPR, QB/2RB/3WR/TE/D/K 1.04 - Brian Westbrook (4th RB taken) 2.17 - Marvin Harrison (3rd WR) 3.24 - Terrell Owens (8th WR) 4.37 - Marc Bulger (6th QB) 5.44 - Thomas Jones (19th RB) 6.57 - Laurence Maroney (keeper) 7.64 - Tony Gonzalez (4th TE) 8.77 - Mark Clayton (31st WR) 9.84 - LaMont Jordan (30th RB) 10.97 - Isaac Bruce (36th WR) 11.104 - Chester Taylor (36th RB) 12.117 - Jay Cutler (13th WR) 13.124 - Brandon Marshall (48th WR) 14.137 - Minnesota (10th D) 15.144 - DeShaun Foster (40th RB) 16.157 - Stephen Gostkowski (10th K) I also have a offer out to get Torry Holt for Maroney and Mark Clayton, waiting to hear back. I know it is overpaying, but Clayton is fungible to throwing him in means nothing and getting Harrison/Holt/Owens as starters in a 3WR PPR league would be sick.

I changed it for LaParka and got no objections. Would 8:30 work? I'll change it to that if there are no objections, but it is the last change.

In that case, need two more teams. ID: 478803 password: tsm

Anyone else having trouble signing into Yahoo? If so, I'll hold off getting two more teams until they get their shit straightened out so the last two still have a chance to get in. If it is just me having problems let me know and we'll go about filling the league.

If he pleads to financing a criminal organization, I don't see where the stretch would be to suspend him for a year. Sure it throws the lifetime ban out the windown, but financing a criminal organization that ran over a few years should be more than enough to get a year (especially considering the NFLPA would probably not pick this battle to fight). That said, this plea seems like a farce. After all that they are going to get him for buying a house and crossing state lines? Either he is getting a sweetheart deal or the gov't has much less then everyone has been led to believe and it makes you wonder why he wouldn't try his hand at trial.

Still only 12 of the 14 teams have signed in to next week's (8/28) draft. If you are not one of the below 12 teams and you got the PM, please make your team. If the teams aren't in by the end of Saturday, we'll get two other teams in their place.
