The Draft - BIRD33 - 12-09-2008
Anhil8tor Wrote:In my money league it has contract years and salary involved. You can sign players for up to 5 years and bid on them ebay style. Some guy bought turner when he was LTs backup and signed him to a 4 year $75 contract. Well he sat on him the first year and then decided he didn't like him anymore. I got him to take this....
Illy gave up Turner, Michael ATL RB; Year 2008 Draft Pick 4.14;Year 2008 Draft Pick 5.13
Okra gave up Hall, Andre DEN RB; Year 2008 Draft Pick 1.11;Year 2008 Draft Pick 3.15
Hall is absolute garbage and he drafted Limas Sweed with the 11th pick. That means I'll be stuck with Turner for 2 more years @! $75.. compare that with Ports ($150), Thomas Jones ($125), Brandon Jacobs ($174), Gore ($264) and you can see how great of a buy it is.
Who the fuck payed $264 for gore?

Who do you start?
L Coles vs. Buffalo or Toomer Vs. Dallas?
The Draft - WoolyGoat - 12-09-2008
coles has been terrible and the Jets are self-destructing.
I dunno, tough call.
The Draft - BIRD33 - 12-09-2008
I'm leaning towards Toomer since its a Sunday night game against Dallas.
My money league strategy was to get Favre and Coles late in the draft.Its why I didnt make the playoffs.

Obviously, Peyton will target Wayne or Harrison and Clark before he goes after Gonzo, and you already have a strong defense, but I'm calling it a (weak) insurance policy. It'd be stronger if the Colts would knock it off with the two TE offense.
Peyton Manning Vs. the lions none to soon for me.
I was actually surprised, considering your league domination this year, that you let yourself get so thin at wideout. Housh has really paid off in my PPR league, but in the league I'm in with you, he's part of such a pathetic offense, I'm wondering why he's your WR1. Dallas can be tough at home, and while I don't think the Giants will play as poorly as they did last week, I don't think Toomer is a strong play. And I don't believe there's really that much friction between Favre and Coles, but he's certainly not Big Brett's favorite target.
By contrast, where you have me beat (Turner aside) is at RB. You have an arsenal of strong backs, I have one good one, one with a pathetic QB situation, and one in a hit-or-miss timeshare. So much for wasting my first round pick on S-Jax.

Paddy honey I didn't mean that as a slam. Please don't take offense. I was pretty sure I was gonna lose that matchup, and I was shocked when I won.
Oh and goat--my apologies, man. That sucked.

Way to play off getting your ass kicked by a girl, paddy.

I hear you that my WR spot is my weakest link but Plax shooting himself turned my WR core from decent to below average which I couldnt control.Theres really not a lot to choose from and I'm happy I could get Toomer.Dallas's D sucks so I like his chance of getting into the endzone.I'm playing Housh because he's the only other decent #1 WR I have.Coles and Favre have been suspect for the past 4 weeks.
I'm going to win solely on my RB's each getting a TD and manning throwing at least two TD's and getting 200 yds in offense.If that doesnt happen I'm fucked.
The Draft - Paddy - 12-10-2008
The IT league is the highlight of your fantasy season?
The Draft - BIRD33 - 12-10-2008
This is the only one I'm in first place.The other ones I'm in have actual competition.

Plaxico shooting himself was totally shitty and completely out of your control--I'm pretty convinced it's the only reason why I won last week. Do I think it destroyed the Giants like ESPN said? No, but it definitely shook up the offense to the point where they couldn't recover--which saved my ass against Paddy. Dallas isn't that horrible at home--granted, they were my defense for a bit and I dropped them on Sunday--I think they do have more sacks than anyone in the last four weeks. Hopefully for you, Toomer will be angry enough about everything to turn in a good performance at Texas Stadium this week.
I'm guessing Manning goes for more than 200--and at least 2 TDs. Your RBs will do just fine--shit I wouldn't be surprised if Gonzalez gets a couple--he's had a great season against San Diego.

Yahoo occasionally has these type of fuckups happen.I had it go down in another league and the only explanation was it was Yahoos fault.

I'll take Drew Brees only getting 12 points.

Bears win and my opponent starts the horrendous Kyle Orton.

I came thiiiiiiiiisclose to coming upstairs before the start of the third and dumping him off my roster so I could scramble to find a RB to make up the points this weekend. I was shocked he got to 12. I fucking hate him.
