Here's to the biggest one of them all ... drafting Brady in the top 5.

so is your sig but you will likely be asked to remove it here soon like my sports illustrated Cubs bikini one was (darn you mods I need my SI swimsuit babe)

what did you put in them ... thank you thank you I know I'm just too darn funny like Jerry Seinfeld. As for the week big game for my Niners. Got to avoid going 0-2 and 0-2 in divisional games. Good chance at getting to see it as the only other NFC game at that time is Atlanta/Tampa and Miami/Arizona.

I just wanted to post in Panthers game thread before Andy does. And he calls himself a fan ...

All I've heard the last three years from Colts fans is how it would be great if Brady got hurt. I had a roommate who was standing up and cheering when he heard. He also was saying that the Colts ill now definately win the Superbowl because no other team is even close. He was pretty quite 3 1/2 hours later on that subject though.

Well this is the week I find out if Purdue can do something special in Tiller's last year or if its another 7-5 season.

Yeah reigning MVP hurt possibly for the season in week one isn't a story at all.

don't be bitter cause the colts lost

This would explain why I always see our loses (only have WGN).

Way lowballing with Garrard and about even of Brees-Lynch.

you can have the sloppy seconds after me

Purdue 1-0 not that they played anybody but still

why is this even a question

Even if it is private property they are still in the wrong. No matter what your basic rights (like the oens in the First Amendment) can't be violated. This kind of thing has been an issue before in some Japanese autoplants. The owner who is from Japan wants to use Japanese work guidelines that in some parts violate the rights of a U.S. citizen. The company is a privat company on private property but in some cases they have been forced to change their policy (a lot of times the government will illegally rule against the worker because they fear losing the plant).

I'm more concerned with his illegal throwing motion when he stops right at the top of it or his purposeful delaying of the game by walking around the mound 8 times and asking for a new ball every pitch.

don't trade him you'll regret it. He is a great RB (averaging 4.3 YAC last year with absolutely no passing game to speak off is ridiculous) and in a Martz offense should score plenty of TD's. For a PPR league he will dominant even more because he will likely get 70 catches this year and score 10-15 td's.

travis henry is suspended. hadn't heard he was suspended for a full year figured it would be just the 4 weeks and someone with injuries would get desperate and pick him up.

Easier said than done, we're required to have 4 WR and RB, and 2 QB, TE, K, and DEF. We start 2 RB and WR, and one of everyone else, the backups serve only to fill in in the starters bye weeks. We can't have any more than the allotted amount of players for each position. So I can't drop my backup kicker or defense and pick up another QB or RB. The league is set up to avoid cherry picker drafters who will pick all the best players of a certain position to give them an unfair advantage in trading for players. It takes that strategy away from people who may think of drafting a bunch of one position early on in hopes of trading their excess for other teams better players at other positions When you have 12 teams selecting 4 WR and RB over the course of 16 rounds... there tends to be a big lump of crap around round 7 or 8. Maurice Morris will be solely a fill in when Larry Johnson or Westbrook have a bye week, and he was one of the only RB's left on the board who was actually still pegged as the starting RB for a team. Actually, he was the last RB on the board with that distinction. Actually, Ahman Green will get the fill in before him, so he's solely a "If he performs well, lucky me" pick. Effective WR's were pretty much gone by round 7 as well I can't stand leagues like that. Its worse in baseball. Had a league with strict pitchers settings. Couldn't pick up Joba when he became a starter because he was a RP and SP. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see someone like Seattle pick up Travis Henry after week one or two when their run game is awful.

Yeha drop the backup K, TE, and defense (and Maurice Morris for that matter). There is no point in having them at this point. Pick up WR's who have a shot at being good or young RB's that could be good with an injury to the starter. You got three weeks until bye weeks so you don't need backups yet (I wouldn't have them then anyways) so its better to have fliers out on some guys and if one pans out your golden.

i.e. he's not even the leader on his own team

Yeah, I doubt that's why Pie wasn't called up. Actually I bet he wasn't called up because of the playoffs just not for the reasons people would think. What will serve best for Pie? Being called up and be the third guy in a rotation for the CF spot (maybe fourth with Fukudome) or stay in the minors and play in some big games in as good as you can get playoff atmosphere? He will be more on his game if needed due to injury of a funk playing everyday in minor league playoffs then being a defensive sub late or pinch runner.

Nevermind figured it out I believe. Street pitched and then the A's batted and won in a walkoff. Street was likely pinch hit for and then the A's won. Ziegler was the guy up in the pen and thus would have pitched. He shouldn't be in the boxscore but that is what happened.

I didn't see the game, and he's not mentioned in recap so I would guess its a mistake and he didn't. However he could have come in and got caught stealing. I think it would go for an out on Ziegler but maybe not.

At least you understand its irrational. And if the game isn't Cleveland it should be the Cards/49ers game, but then again I have an irrational opinion when it comes to the 49ers.
