  1. Sounds like Watkins will be fine.

     

    I got a chance to see most of the game on NFL Network yesterday.

     

    Did Cohen make the team with that rumble, bumble and stumble?

    I think he was a lock before that. He's easily their 3rd best DT. Also a Schwartz guy.

  2. Julius Thomas easily, even if he were the more expensive keeper. Who are your other options?

    Ray Rice was my first...sigh. Not sacrificing a first in this years draft for him. Forte was my 2nd and Sproles was my third. RG3 was my 4th. No way am I taking that risk.

     

    I submitted Thomas. I'm confident in my drafting. I've been playing FF since the 80's. I've actually become annoyed at the ease of access to info. It used to be if you knew some shiz you would most likely have a good team. Now my Dad plays. Anyone can have 50 mock drafts or rankings with the click of a mouse.

  3. I'm sure this thread will have it's detractors but I want a place to talk without too much subterfuge and this place always seems to have just the right amount of input.

     

    Soooo...I'm in a league that is implementing keepers One per team from last year. The round you drafted him in, is the round pick you forfeit this year. So my conundrum is Julius Thomas vs Emanuel Sanders. I drafted Thomas in the 12th round and Sanders in the 11th so I think the compensation is negligible but I'm concerned Sanders might have a huge year in Denver and may actually take away catches from Thomas.

     

    Thoughts..

  4. Hey Ink,

     

    To bad you are not up here in Canada.

     

    We have this outfit called Lease Busters. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but they exist to get people out of their lease and other people into it.

    Yeah I checked a few places online and they all wanted a fee (understandable) but I didn't want to have to pay that without knowing if my lease would be picke up. Everything worked out well. I like my new ride a lot.

  5. Hackett looks like he's running a 1990s offense...which doesn't make sense, since he's young and should be up to speed on the newer stuff. Almost like the Wannstedt of offensive coordinators.

    In mild defense of Hackett the excecution from the QB's had been pitiful. If I see EJ throw to another RB, I'll throw my TV. He's so trepidacious about throwing to WR who are anywhere near coverage. It's the NFL, you need to trust your receivers and throw to areas to allow them to make plays. EJ doesn't seem to want to throw to anyone who isn't running free in the open field.

  6. I'm really losing faith in EJ, Hackett and Marrone. Last year didn't impress me and they are off to a spectacular start this preseason.

     

    I don't think Hackett knows what he is doing. Felt that way at Cuse and Marrone's game day coaching was suspect then as well.

     

    I watched a SU punter out kick their coverage 3 times in a row, all going for huge returns and at least one TD. Marrone never altered course.

     

    Reminds me of the hurry up they were going to use last year. They were going to set the league on fire and revolutionalize offense in the NFL. It took them all preseason and atleast 3 games to figure out they didn't have the personnel to do it.

     

    Very concerned...

  7. So is it bucket of ice water or donate? I've read about the increase in donations to ALS but it seems like every yahoo I know on Facebook is just dumping water on themselves and saying nana nana boo boo and not donating ######.

  8. This is a Lame complaint by comparison to some of you guys and girls...

     

     

    People that willingly go to casinos and then complain about losing money. You sir are an a$$hole!

    I thought everyone that goes to a casino only wins. I mean that's all I hear. I won this at the casino, I won that at the casino. They conveniently omit the part where they dropped $5k to win the $3k they are coming home with. I don't get casinos, never have never will. I work too damn hard for my money to just give it away.

  9. Very sorry to hear it Weave. I hope you and your wife can work it out.

    Not sure of weave's exact situation but my divorce was the best thing that ever happened to me. Didn't have kids or finances to worry about.

     

    At the hospital with the wife and in the bed next to us is a special needs person. She is there because she is claiming something is wrong with her. Doctors do their checks, nothin wrong. They also greeted her with a not to enthusiastic, "your back?".

     

    She's been coughing and hacking (sounds forced and fake to me, my former step son thought he was a pro at this but it was amateur hour). So much so that she's now fake vomiting from her fake coughing and belly aching every couple of minutes, "it hurts, ow".

     

    I'm seriously annoyed that we are essentially being forced to listen to these shenanigans while we are here for legit reasons. (Not getting into but nothing too serious)

    Finally got a look at the special needs girl. I was floored, she was kinda hot. Real thin, pretty face just a little trashy looking. Bizarre.

     

    Reminded me of Charlize Theron on Arrested Development.

     

  10. It's not so much the campaign itself but what it has turned into. Like I said earlier, most I see now never even mention ALS. It has become the "dumb cold water on your head because everyone else is" challenge.

    Yeah from what I've read on my social network feeds, it's turned into: "dump a bucket of ice water on yourself or pay $100." I think they are missin the point...

  11. Two new charts today. One here, the other in the 2015 Draft.

     

    This is the Sabres' pipeline. I added some former prospects like Ennis, Hodgson, and Zagrapan to give you an idea how the kids compare. To do this right, I would need to chart everyone (like the 2014 draft, but much bigger, since I'm usually charting 4 ages.), so you could compare Baptiste to everyone his size, but that would take months of work, so I present this with some reservation. If you click the yellow buttons along the top you can see the different age groups, or click all to see all the dots and lines.

     

    To summarize, what I get isn't too far from Numark, and very close to Liger

    1. Reinhart

    2. Risto

    3. McCabe

    4. Baptiste

    5. Fasching

    6. Zadorov

    7. Grigorenko

    8. Compher

    9. Possler

    10. Carrier

    Until I see Grigs this year, I have a hard time putting him

  12. My posts from TBD:

     

    Ward made a poor decision. Unless he confesses, no one will know what Stewart was thinking and if he was trying brush back Ward. If he was shame on him for being that reckless. That said, unless he incriminates himself, I don't see how it's criminal.

     

    Based on history, this level of shadiness doesn't seem too far fetched.

     

    Right. Some people think TS went out of his way to not avoid him. Even as far as to scare him a bit and intimidate him. I'm on the fence but Stewart's insatiable appetite for being angry has led people to a conclusion. Justifiably so or not. TS has been a bad dude with anger issues and confrontations his whole career. He lost the benefit of the doubt with his previous actions.

     

    I still don't think it will be a criminal case but Stewart has to live with his actions. For humanity's sake, I hope you are right.
