Any team that signed Vick would have been subjected to a PR nightmare.  Some of the things that came out about him were really disturbing. 

On a football level, I'm just shocked that the Eagles are looking into moving Kolb so soon.  This might backfire on them if Vick gets injured (which has happened before) or just starts sucking again.  Who's the 3rd qb?  Might be better to hold onto him as his value can't be that high.

#1392 Re: The Garden » 2010 Fantasy Football » 842 weeks ago

Picked up Darren McFadden, Brandon Pettigrew, and Demariyus Thomas today.  I'm definitely starting DMac vs ARZ and their crappy run D.  Bruce Gradkowski is starting for OAK instead of Jason Campbell.  Louis Murphy might be an interesting WW candidate (if he's still available).

Who had Harvin in their team again?  More migrane trouble and a hip injury.  Only good news is he plays the Lions whose defense stinks.

WR3--which one to pick Austin Collie, Johnny Knox,  Demariyus Thomas or Mike Sims Walker.  I'm leaning toward Walker.  I could also use another one of these guys in a flex spot (along with Pettigrew).

I ended up dumping CJ Spiller since I had no use for him and the Bills O looks beyond awful.

They already have Kolb on a long deal.

Kolbs only signed for next year.  I don't know the details but it's 12 million for this year & next.  So it's doubtful he'll stay on again as a backup.  Its a big clusterfuck.  Kolb was supposed to be given the season, or at least 6-8 games.  They gave him 2 quarters.

FWIW, the Browns have called the Eagles regarding a Kolb trade.  The Vick story is interesting to me (the rebirth of his career not the dogfighting stuff).

faldor - signing hank could be a bluff to get the chargers to lower their asking price and reports are that the vikings are still in serious negotiations with the chargers so it could simply mean the vikings aren't going to be content with signing jackons alone, considering that harvin is hurtand the rest of the wr's are terrible.

Problem here is that AJ Smith (Chargers GM) is a hardline negotiator.  He
doesn't get what he wants (reportedly a 2nd and 3rd round pick) Jackson stays on the sideline this year.  Someone will have to blink here.

Percy Harvin had another migrane issue again today.  I still think they'll beat the Lions but it might be a close game.

28th in the league in rushing yards will lose you most games. 2nd in pass yards (Manning passed Romo monday night) isn't that impressive when you lead in pass attempts, by 15, through only two weeks. I stand by what I said last year about them not being nearly as talented as their fans imagine and the media wishes them to be.

The NFC East is really weak this year so any team could win it, but the NFC champion is not sitting in that division.

I think they're overrated too but with those RBs and that big OL they should be running the ball more especially with their OT issues in the first two weeks.  This comes back to Jason Garrett.  I think they have a good shot at beating the Texans though.  The Texans are pretty crappy against the pass.

On Jeff Fisher, when the owner calls you out in April about past playoff screwups (especially in 2008) and talks about how his life would be complete with a Super Bowl win (he's 89), you pretty much have to at least win a playoff game to keep your job.  He hasn't won a playoff game since 2003.  He lost to a 4th string qb at home this week.

He does have a difficult task in that he has to accomplish these things with Vince Young.  He clearly doesn't trust Vince Young.  But the owner is in Vince Young's corner.  As long as Vince Young shows some improvement/skills as a QB he'll remain the starter barring injury.  Jeff just can't install Kerry Collins as his starter again, Bud will put a stop to that.

I think Fisher's coaching in Dallas next year or spewing his bs on the tv screen as an analyst.

It has Kelly MacDonald in it so I'll watch it at some point soon.

#1395 Re: The Garden » 2010 Fantasy Football » 842 weeks ago

Thank god I had a big lead going into MNF otherwise I would be complaining since my opponent had Gore, Vernon Davis and 49ers D.  Ended up winning by like 30 pts.

It'll all be okay.

I would have had 110 points if it weren't for benching Hightower for Stewart. Still can't get over it.

I dropped Beanie Wells over the weekend since I have no idea when he'll be back.  Looks like Hightower will get the majority of the carries here despite his fumble problems. 

Stewart is still in RBBC in CAR.  Hard to know when he'll get any consistent carries at all.

Faldor,

what's going on with the QB thing?  It might not be such a bad idea to hold onto Vince Young for one more week.  He can't get any worse than last week and he faces a 4-3 defense this week (more familiar to him). I'd definitely get rid of him by the Dallas game though (week 5).

Keep an eye on Marshawn Lynch.  There have been rumors that GB is interested in him.  He'd produce better numbers than Jackson there.  It would also free up more playing time for CJ Spiller.  A win-win for both teams.

#1396 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Renaissance » 842 weeks ago

There's a better sound on the drums with Steven than Matt.  His drumming just seems kind of stale (Sorum).  The drums and bass on AFD are fine.  I'm not exactly sure how you can improve it without altering the flow of the songs anyway.

#1397 Re: The Garden » 2010 Fantasy Football » 842 weeks ago

Anyone else start Jahvid Best?  41 pts today and almost outscored my opponent.  I'm up by 100 points with opponent having Rivers, Andre Johnson, Gore, Steven Jackson, and Vernon Davis.  I got Gates and Austin Collie in late games.

Made some good decisions this week.  None of the bench guys produced.  I'm going to drop Brent Celek for someone else.

Faldor:  consider picking up Sam Bradford.  He'll get a ton of attempts and is the unquestioned QB starter there.  Schedule doesn't seem too difficult either.

For a game that sucked 4 quarters the last 2 minutes of the Steelers/Titans is fantastic.

Vince benched, Collins in.

Really crummy game by the Titans.  Get ready for the Jeff Fisher coaching seat to get warm.  Faldor, drop Vince Young. 

DET-PHI was fantasy gold for me.

I hear you.  I don't really like the prospects of Vick throwing the ball either.  I have Celek and D. Jackson in respective leagues and I'm not feeling too great about their chances this week.

I'm starting Deshaun Jackson only because the Lions secondary is pretty suspect and he is streaky.  On the MNF game, I'm avoiding Crabtree only because Greer and Porter are two underrated CBs.  That plus Alex Smith sucks.

In between the crappy Beanie Wells pick and CJ Spiller I'm pretty much stuck with Jahvid Best and Matt Forte (who I made the mistake of not starting) as my other RB.  I just hope that Peterson has a good game vs MIA.  He has only has one 100yd game in the last 8-9 games.  I also picked up Ahmad Bradshaw but he is sharing half the load with Jacobs and had most of the carries when the Giants were ahead.  I figure Best is playing on turf and against a weakened run d and Forte should be a good bet to get 100+ total yards.  Gives me a reason to watch CHI-DAL.

I'll probably go with Knox; thanks guys.

On Vince Young, they've been practicing with 3 WR/spread formations; I think they actually come out and pass a bunch on 1st downs and then do the usually running heavy offense.  I expect 200+yds and at least 1 td for Young.  So I think you'll be OK at QB.

Lee Evans and Mike Sims-Walker are kinda in the same boat.  They'll should get a bunch of receptions but will ultimately disappoint for different reasons.  Evans is stuck with the shitty o-line while Sims-Walker plays for a run first offense.

Well, anyway good luck guys!

#1400 Re: The Garden » 2010 Fantasy Football » 842 weeks ago

Shit in the one league I'm in I got beat by someone who doesn't watch football.  This person only joined because we goaded her into it.  I almost got doubled up if it weren't for Gates MNF performance.

Here are my wrs points (via yahoo) for this past week:

1.50 (Crabtree)
4.50 (Calvin Johnson)
3.00 (Desean Jackson)

I added Austin Collie this week. No way I'm fucking starting Crabtree this week.
Flex spot advice--I'm currently starting Brent Celek (WR/TE spot).    Got Sims-Walker and Johnny Knox, and Crabtree on Bench.  Leave Celek in or subtitute one of the three guys?
