QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 20, 2014 -> 01:52 PM) Kelly is clearly an A+ recruiter, and I am warming to him as a playcaller. I still have a hard time getting over the time a few years ago when he called a motherf***ing fade route from inside the 10 yard line with the backup QB in the game when a FG would have won the game. That was putrid. I was at that game. It was the Tulsa loss. Leaving the stadium, I overheard people saying Kelly needed to be fired. It was his 1st season at ND.

QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 4, 2014 -> 03:50 AM) Wow, I hadn't posted there in ten years. I forgot they even existed. Same here. Completely had forgotten about WSI. Last time I posted there was probably 2002.

Just going to bring a little SEC football recruiting in here and mention that Tennessee now has two 5-star DTs committed. If both of those guys sign, and they seem very solid, it will be the 1st time since LSU in 2001 that a program has signed 2 5-star DTs. Pretty damn ecstatic with what Butch Jones is doing here.

Stayed up til 2:30 last night to watch the first guys tee off. Finally went to bed a little after 4. Rough morning getting up for work, but worth it. Love the Ryder Cup. I'm going to make every effort to go in 2016.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 04:46 PM) I run my sister's team in her office league. It's a 14 team league where waivers reset to worst record first. I am 2-1 and just picked up Vernon Davis on waivers. I am going to feel dumb when I don't win the championship. Vernon Davis was on waivers in a 14 team league?? Wow.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 02:37 PM) This is why dasox must access the commish's account and destroy the league for its own good. I appreciate all the feedback in this thread. I really do. I'm just glad to know I wasn't overreacting in being pissed.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 02:39 PM) I'd be sending an email to the entire league, so they know what happened. And honestly, I'd seriously consider leaving the league. Stuff like this is how leagues end up falling apart. I thought about it. But in the end, it's all my best friends from college so I'm not going to want to leave. The hope is that this league will last a long time and is an additional way to keep in touch with everyone. I will, however, suggest we replace our commish next year. Not going to let him ruin this whole thing we have going.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 10:42 AM) He's your roommate, right? So he probably leaves his yahoo account auto-logged in. Wait until he's gone and then cut his whole team. Haha, this crossed my mind. I do know his password. But two wrongs don't make a right. Dropping his whole team would be even more f'd up than what he did.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 05:29 AM) While it was a dick move, it sounds like you never completed the trade. You should hate accepted before telling anyone else. In my league, trades just go through. The commish shouldn't have any extra power. Yeah, Steve, you're right. I never logged in to ESPN to accept the trade. It was still sitting out there open. I guess I could have done it from my phone, but I was just waiting until we got home. Technically, there is a 2-day veto period. So trades don't go through for 48 hours. In our league, however, we just ask the commish to push it through without having to wait so that people can make wavier claims, other trades, etc. Like you said, you should never mention a trade to anyone else until it's officially accepted. I know that. But as I mentioned, the only reason I even told him was because I needed his help pushing it through so that I could make waiver claims last night and add a new TE. I certainly would never tell anyone else in our league.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 11:16 PM) That sounds like a bad league. It never has been until now. We've been doing it for 5 years. Check out my post above.

Alright, I have to pose this scenario and y'all tell me if I have a right to be mad or not. Currently, I'm pretty pissed... My roommate is also my league commissioner for a league with all of our old college buddies. We were out at dinner when I got a trade offer I had worked all day on getting. Our league doesn't do official veto's, so the commish just accepts all trades as soon as the 2 parties agree. So I ask him "Hey, when we get home, will you go ahead and approve a trade I just made?" He says sure, then he asks who I traded for. I tell him because I didn't think it was a big deal. Apparently while we were eating, he texts our buddy who I made the trade with and tells him he'll up the offer and to cancel the one he made to me. That's f***ed up, right? I would never tell anyone else in my fantasy league about a potential trade. But because he's our commish and I need his approval to push it through, I thought it would be fine. He's completely in the wrong, right? If he wasn't the commish, I'd have never even mentioned the trade. He abused his power, correct? I know it's just fantasy football, so I feel a little stupid being mad over this. But I can't help it.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 06:59 PM) If you have confidence in CP I'd do it, I think Kelce will be good, his snaps keep increasing. I think Witten is close to done. Do you need the upgrade at wideout? Thanks for the response. I don't really need another WR at the moment, but I'm trying to flip Dez for Le'Veon Bell. So in that case, I would need another WR. Also, the trade fell through so it's a moot point. Long story, but the guy cancelled the offer due to some backstabbing by my roommate/league commissioner.

I was offered Cordarrelle Patterson for Vernon Davis and Terrence Williams. My other TEs are Kelce and Witten. I'm tempted to make it, especially because I think CP's value is at a low point. But I have zero trust in Witten. And while I feel better about Kelce, he still splits time with Fasano and his QB is Alex Smith. Any thoughts?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 07:43 AM) I'm 0-3 despite being 3rd in scoring. I've had 342 points scored against me. Next closest is 273. Awesome. I'm in the same boat. I'm playing a guy this week who's 3-0 and I've outscored him every week. With my luck, this will be the week he finally scores more than me.

At first, I thought that last play was PI too. But upon replay, Vereen does get his head around. Good no call. Especially because it was out of bounds anyway.

Really happy for Hester. I was going crazy when he scored - probably as excited as I've ever been to see a non-Bears player score a TD. Wished it had happened in a Bears uniform, but glad he did it.

Willie Young's sack celebration where he was reeling in the fish was one of my favorites of all time. It was way too long of a celebration and I loved every second of it. Completely ridiculous yet awesome. And that dude can play.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 06:55 PM) Sorry to hear about the putt, but great round! QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 03:44 AM) Yeah great job. Rounds like that keep the addiction going Thanks guys. You are definitely right. It does keep the addiction going. I would have played again today if I didn't have to catch a flight to LA. But I'm taking my clubs with me so I can play out there this week.

Shot a 90 today. Lowest round of 18 in my life so I was pretty happy. But I choked and missed a 4 foot birdie putt on 18, which would have given me an 89. I badly want to break 90.

I like it too. Low risk, high reward. I don't expect the Santonio of old, but if he can at least contribute until Wilson gets back, then it will be worth signing him.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 02:47 PM) I feel like I did this to him. This is definitely your fault.

DeCamillis just isn't good at his job. We were completely spoiled with Toub, who's the best in the NFL. And I always knew we'd never be able to replace him. But I didn't think it would be this bad. There have to be guys out there who could do a better job.

Feel bad for Zach Miller. Tonight might have answered our injury-prone questions. OL looked good. The refs sure loved throwing their flags. That was miserable to watch.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 09:35 PM) Had Missouri kept him on the team the media would have destroyed them, but since OU is giving him a "second chance" it's OK. (And this coming from an Illinois fan) Yep. I can't see any reason the NCAA should let him play this year. But then again, it's the NCAA and you never know what they're going to do. So frustratingly inconsistent.

Watching the replay of the game on NFL Network right now. I know, I know, it's just preseason, but I'm encouraged by the performance of the 1st string defense.
