Fantasy football anyone?

Wow, you must be a relative or something. I'll give you Gado for Clayton.

come on man! he averaged over 4 yards/carry last year (MORE than enough to drive down the field) and he was just supposed to be on the friggin practice squad!

Either that or remind me not to play poker with Walker. Gado was a nice success story last year though.

 

[Ivan Lendl]

Any interest in Vick or Dunn?

Michael Vick right? (this isnt a trick question)...Who do you want ? Ill give you Carr and either kennison or i bruce

 

[the_bird]

Kennison and Carr for Vick?

Sounds like a win-win! Deal!

I guess he can just stop playing and go straight to Canton!

And the Packers won how many games last year?

One player does not a team make.

 

[Dude]

Ahhh...I feel a little better about my team now....my 2 waiver requests went through. Some depth.

I have Williamson in all 6 of my leagues now, so that means he'll be benched by the Vikings after 2 weeks.

 

[the_bird]

You sure you don't want Donald Driver?

 

[2nd Street Brewery]

Ok did I get kicked out already? I tried to go to the league page and it says I don't belong? WTF

edit thought maybe my cookies cleared out somehow but I tried to log in manually and get the message that either the league is not in pre draft mode or it is full. Are we in some kind of blackout due to the game tonight?

edit#2 OK I went to my Yahoo home page and clicked on the link to the league from there and now I'm in. I think I need a beer

 

[the_bird]

It didn't recognize me last night when I tried to change my starting lineup, but it was fine earlier today.

Hey Rot-gut,

Looks to me like you've got three really good RBs but could use some help at WR. I've got Larry Fitzgerald (1,400+ yards last year), one of the Tier I receivers out there. I'll give you Fitzgerald for Willis McGahee, but I need something else (Fitz was ranked #9 pre-draft, versus #25 for McGahee) - maybe swap tight ends?

Alternatively, I've got Donald Driver - #32 pre-draft, gonna catch a lot of balls from Favre this year - straight up for McGahee, or maybe work something out for Warrick Dunn? Any interest in exploring something along those lines?

 

[Walker]

man, you guys know a lot more about this crap than I do. either it's my brain malfunctioning or I'm just stupid, but I can't figure out how to change my team at all.

I have no clue WTF I'm doing either. The only Fantasy Football I've ever done involved my wife wearing a cheerleader's uniform.
I might just stand pat the first week and see how things shake out.

I'm a noob as well but have been prowling on the site. To change your players click the my team link. Here you can bench, switch around who is on your active roster for the week. That's also where you can drop/add players, add some to a watch list and propose trades to your fellow managers. You can look at years past if players have years in the league to see how your guys have done.

Another locale I found nice is the Tools area. Most you have to pay for but the sit/start area shows what others are doing. They also have a recommend how to set your guys up area but I'm taking that with a grain-o-salt. They recommend me bench my rook Jennings who has been bumped to starting W/R for the Pack and led the league in pre-season receiving (??). He was also actively picked up by 5000+ people because of this news. They also said start Addai who average 1.6 yards per carry in pre-season (??). I think Dude is making these recommendations personally .

That's all I'm sharing for the year . I think I might already like this and it hasn't even started yet.

I'm thinking I like my balance right now. I have 3 solid backs and with the addition of Kennison, I have a decent core of W/R. The nice thing is that I'll be able to absorb an injury pretty well at either position.

I think I'm going to stand pat unless I get an offer I can't refuse.

 

[2nd Street Brewery]

It's 8pm here. Are you ready for some football?

Fair 'nuff. I'm not making any stupid offers until I start drinking!

Fitzgerald and the Tenne TE are facing San Fran and the J-E-T-S this weekend, so I'm expecting both to put up some good numbers for me this weekend. I love my WRs, I just wish I had someone else at RB; I'd be more comfortable with a little more balance on my roster.

 

[the_bird]

WOO-HOO!

Pittsburg got a sack! That's what, two points for me?

I'm in FIRST PLACE, BABY!

(had to brag, it won't last )

 

[Walker]

wow... talking **** already... i like you, bird.

 

[Walker]

that was a nice catch!

 

[todd_k]

Did Madden just say, "The question is, can Ronnie Brown take the whole load?"

 

[Walker]

I make it a point to not listen to Madden. He's a fruit cake.

 

[Dude]

OMG....LMAO.

 

[2nd Street Brewery]

Well almost the end of the first half and Ward has been no factor for Pitt. Should have rested him and his hammy. And Bird. your D just gave up a TD

edit: yoo hoo Ward TD yoo hoo

 

[todd_k]

Grumble grumble....Culpepper.....grumble grumble....Miami D......

 

[the_bird]

I swear to God, Willie Parker hadn't done NUTHIN' tonight until SWMBO looked up from the computer and asked how he was doing (she knows I'm matched with Dude and therefore rooting against him); literally before the words are out of her mouth, he's busting off that twenty-yard run.

There goes my lead...

Anyway, nice to have some football again, even if Pitt's about to give up another TD.

 

[Walker]

I have no clue WTF I'm doing either.

maybe not, jeff... but at the moment, you are winning. You've got Ronnie Brown (RB/Mia) and Heath Miller (TE/Pitt), and you've netted 9 points between the two of them in the first half of tonight's game.

 

[the_bird]

wow... talking **** already... i like you, bird.

Figured there was a VERY good chance that five minutes when Pitt had a sack and no one else had accumulated 20 yards rushing or receiving would be the ONLY time I'd be in first place...

you are DOMINATING now, thanks to Brown's two TDs.
