QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 12, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) Why do I love watching the Rams fail? Going to bed leaving myself open for plausible comeback I think a lot of people are rooting for them to fail this year.

This game would only be watchable if it was Kaep vs. Goff.

3-1 in my leagues but lost in the one I care most about.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 12, 2016 -> 04:49 PM) You're cranky and hate everything Only hate your boys Brock and Randy.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 12, 2016 -> 04:30 PM) How about Joe comes up to help Shane when Shane feuds with Brock? Joe could be the guy to beat Brock at mania and be shot to the moon. I'd be cool with that but I'm sure we're just getting a Brock-Shane match at some point. I have no interest in that whatsoever but people like watching Brock throw people and Shane be a crazy person so as much as I don't want to see it, a lot of other people will.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 12, 2016 -> 04:14 PM) He and Roode should be up tomorrow. Ha After Styles is done with Ambrose, a face Joe should be his next challenger as there is just no other credible face on that roster with Orton broke and Cena gone. It'd be kind of funny if they had Joe-Styles at mania for the belt in Orlando just as a huge kick in the nads to TNA. Obviously they should be above something like that but seems like a thing Vince would get a kick out of doing.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 12, 2016 -> 04:05 PM) Does Joe still take indy bookings despite the NXT deal? Thought he said when he first came in he had an original deal. Makes me question if his goal is the main roster. When he first started it seemed he was just going to be a part time NXTer and still do the indy stuff. He's all in on NXT now though and I'm sure he'll be on the main roster soon.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Sep 12, 2016 -> 02:40 PM) The thing that drives me crazy is Smackdown and Raw have thin rosters, Raw is made worse that it's 3 hours, that will be partially helped next week when the Cruiserweight division starts (From what I've heard is Metallik (who has been tearing it up in his wrap-up shows in CMLL), Gallagher, Cedrik Alexander, Tozawa (!!!), Swan, Perkins have been signed, obviously could be more. Gargano and Ciampa are under deals, but not sure if they'll stay in NXT and continue feud with the Revival) but won't be given a whole hour. (Sabre likely won't sign and Ibushi can if he wants, and would win it if he did, but supposedly doesn't want a WWE exclusive deal, which could all be a work at the end of the day). They have Nak, Joe (his injury is a work), Aries, Roode, the Revival, Ciampa and Gargano (and I'm sure I'm missing others) that can step into the main rosters and provide very good work, however, NXT is such an independent touring brand, they need them for the house shows and keep the brand with established names. Rumor has it that both Gargano and Ciampa will be in the cruiserweight division. For a little bit I'm sure they'll both work NXT and raw. Kendrick is going to be in the division as well. Sabre and Ibushi are the two main guys that aren't signed who I wouldn't be shocked to see down the not so distant road. I'm sure they'll pursue Ricochet when his LU contract is up too. There are a lot of people in NXT that should be on the main roster but yes, while they're a touring brand they're not going to gut the whole roster. I'm sure Joe gets one more match with Nak and then gets moved up though.

AJ Styles and Kevin Owens are your two main champions...f'n amazing.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 12:09 AM) I check in with it here and there. Love AJ Styles. Actually am very fond of what The Miz is doing. My problem is with everything else . Sure Uso's got a much needed change of personality, but that deed won't make me happy about a tag title tournament that features the dull Uso's vs. 50 year old Rhyno + slater makeshift tag team. I'm interested in Bayley kicking ass on Raw, the Kevin Owens show, HHH vs. Rollins/Reigns (without the title being in the picture), the tag title between new day and AJ's friends. Raw just seems to be killing it. Just gotta watch SD, my friend. It doesn't sound or seem very exciting but it's been a very good show every week. And watch Talking Smack, it might just be the best show under the WWE umbrella and that's including NXT and The CWC.

That fight was a f***in circus. Wow.

Knew it would happen but was hoping it wouldn't. He won't be back in the UFC, maybe he tries fighting again but after that he has no drawing power. I was semi joking about it with Brian but my odd prediction of the day is that he's headlining a NJPW ppv with Daniel Bryan in a few years. Anywho, this isn't a wrestling thread so sorry about that...this Werdum-Browne fight has been bizarre.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 10, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) Central Michigan just had a bonkers play to upset Ok State. And apparently the refs f***ed up and the play shouldn't have happened. Even better.

Central Michigan just had a bonkers play to upset Ok State.

Of course you don't like the card, you admitted you don't watch Smackdown. I'm not going to pretend to be pumped for this ppv but SD has been really good outside of the first episode so I'm sure they'll put on a good show.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 08:23 PM) Whoever has him like myself... Rob Gronkowski out for season opener. I'm over this season already.

I'm off to a great start as I decided to not play Kelvin Benjamin last night!

Anderson could have had 0 Minor League at bats and eventually would have been a fine MLB player and Beckham could have had 20,000 Minor League at bats and he still would have never been a Major League starter. Just two different people, that's why I always hate comparing these guys.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 08:19 PM) Yes he was. But was re-signed.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 10:16 AM) Had a wedding I was in on Saturday, Baltimore Comic Con on Sunday, did chores on Monday - then I had someone call the cops on me for Gardening While Black (the cops asked me about a 5'10" black male wearing a blue shirt and blue shorts carrying a "butcher knife" (my gardening spade) walking around my neighborhood. So that was fun. That's some bulls*** man. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Me and some buddies combine to do a pretty high money survivor pool every year. We have to pick 2 teams a week. Seattle is our lock, the 2nd one is being debated like crazy. I'm leaning GB but not confident in that at all. Any thoughts?

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 09:58 AM) Sadly, no. Damn. Ya, that's one where at least for me, I'd be guaranteed to bench the wrong guy every week.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 09:54 AM) Two very different roster decisions in two leagues - both are 12 team leagues, neither are PPR: The first is my main league. It's a keeper league with rampant trading. I kept Watkins, Cooper, and Bell and lucked into Antonio Brown. Because of the keeper league, RBs were very sparse. I have Deangelo Williams, so I'm covered through Bell's suspension, but my options for the 2nd RB spot are: Forsett Yeldon Duke Johnson I'm leaning toward Forsett because he's probably the starter there - at least until Dixon gets back. Duke Johnson has less value since it's not a PPR league. I don't have any idea as to how the Jags backfield shakes out, but sounds like Ivory is going to get the first crack at carries. Not feeling great about the RB situation there though. The second league, I have to pick two to start out of: Lamar Miller David Johnson Deangelo Williams I kind of feel like this one is a close your eyes and pick 2 type of decision... No flex spot in the 2nd league?

Had my 12 team .5 ppr league draft last night. It's a tiered keeper league where you have to keep 4 guys. My keepers were Gronk, Brees, Odell and Jordy. I ended up getting the 5th pick and since it's a keeper there were just no rb's worth grabbing early so I basically just said f*** it: Brees Langford Abdullah Beckham jr Jordy Gronk Amari Cooper Crosby Defense will be by committee but going Eagles this week Meh. EDIT: And illinlaw's post reminded me that I did nab Deangelo Williams so he'll be starting for me until Bell comes back.

I'm not doubting DA as I know he's just posting what he was told but I'll believe it when I see it.
