QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 31, 2013 -> 07:40 AM) You know what's worse? Going to bed as the champion of your league by 0.7 points only to wake up and find out you actually lost due to a stat correction on a Danny Amendola fumble taking 2 points off your total score. My take went from $550 to $50 overnight. You know whats worse? In 2011 I was in both of my leagues championship games. My opponent? My wife. And I lost both of them.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 31, 2013 -> 12:00 AM) McCoy is going to get a ton of touches this year, I like him in that situation with Kelly. I also took MJD in a league and am on board. Where he's being taken (end 2nd round, early 3rd), he has 1st round potential. He led the league in rushing in 2011, and all signs point to him being 100% after the foot injury. And in a contract year. I also think Bowe will be solid. Andy Reid throws and throws and throws...and when they do, it's going to Bowe. Bowe's a WR2 with possible WR1 potential. MJD's age and coming off injury worries me about his prospect of returning to top fantasy form. I think hes more like a 1100-1200 yard guy 8-10 TDs which does keep him in that late 2nd early 3rd range but there are a lot of backs I like before him. Ide play Bowe at WR2 for sure. I definitely don't want him as my #1. Ive got about 15-16 guys ahead of him ide rather have on my team.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 02:35 PM) ? Anyone? Monitor the situation closely, if Bradshaw is a full go for week 1 hes an absolute start. The Raiders might be the worst team in the league. If hes iffy and only getting limited work id go with Johnson. The Bills are going to get thumped and will have to throw the majority of the game. The gamble of Johnson getting some catches in a blowout is more appealing to me than Bradshaw playing limited snaps in a game that will prolly be over by halftime, and in that case he wouldn't be out there much anyways.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 09:49 PM) Just did a 12 team draft. Im trying to get different players in most of my leagues. I picked 9th. Kaepernick Lynch, Wilson, Lacy, M. Bush, L. Bell Cobb, Wallace, T. Smith, Patterson, Dobson Cook, Sudfeld Houston D You have way too many rookies on that team.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 28, 2013 -> 09:24 AM) Well, I might as well paste my roster from the big live draft I had over the weekend. Note - drinking beers and inputting rosters after a live draft is fun and not at the same time. I picked 10th in a 12 teamer. All TDs worth 6. 1 bonus point every 100 yards for rushing/receiving and every 100 yards past 300 for passing. QB Matthew Stafford - Will be better than last year, has to be right? WR Dwayne Bowe - Alex Smith doesnt throw to outside recievers, do the research. Bad Pick. WR Pierre Garcon - Decent, pretty much a WR2 and thats were you have him. WR Michael Floyd - I think he will have a good year, but hes not much more than just a guy for fantasy purposes. RB LeSean McCoy - Dont buy into him, he was lousy last year and hell never score 15+ TDs again. RB Maurice Jones-Drew - Again, dont think MJD gets back to the form he once was. TE Zach Sudfeld - Hell either be decent or worthless, but hes not going to blow up just because hes a NE TE. FLEX Ryan Mathews - Awful pick for round 3. Cant stay healthy, fumbles, and comes off the field on 3rd down. DEF who cares, but Tampa - Tampa is an excellent choice for week 1. QB Josh Freeman - Has looked awful in the preseason but was good last year. WR Justin Blackmon - Suspended almost half the fantasy season. WR Vincent Brown - Unproven, bad team. RB Bryce Brown - Good handcuff RB Jonathan Dwyer - Not much fantasy appeal TE Antonio Gates - Not much fantasy appeal anymore TE Coby Fleener - Decent Im not surprised with your mediocre WR core because you clearly took 3 RBs really early. But man, Alex Smith throws the the middle of the field or to RBs. That's why Crabtree didn't explode until Kaepernick took over. I dont think Dwayne Bowe has anything close to a WR1 fantasy year. Stafford throws too many damn interceptions and hes way more likely to throw 25-30 TDs than 40+, I do like him though in a 6pt TD league. Gotta get one of those high volume guys. Lesean McCoy and MJD are guys that I am just not high on. MJD is run down and McCoy had one year where he scored 17 TDs but he only rushed for 1300 yards. If it wasn't for that anomaly TD number hes no different than Frank Gore or present Chris Johnson and those guys aren't coveted fantasy RBs. This is about a C- draft IMO, might be worse if this league isn't PPR.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 07:37 PM) Need some advice week 1. Need 1 Flex and 1 WR to fill. RB Frank Gore (GB) RB Gio Bernard (@Chi) RB DeAngelo Williams (vs. Sea) RB Rashard Mendenhall (@ StL) RB Vic Ballard (@ Oak) WR Stevie Johnson (NE) WR Lance Moore (Atl) WR Chris Givens (Ari) TE Zach Sudfeld (@Buf) It's PPR. I think Gore is the obvious flex play but everyone is so down on him this year. Sudfeld and Bernard are tempting options. The WR spot is what I'm really struggling with. I have no idea. I wish I could play Sudfeld there. Johnson is the best but jesus they have the worst QB situation just about ever. Gore and Givens

10 team league PPR 6 points per TD pass Q/R/W/T and R/W flex spots QB: Peyton Manning RB: Matt Forte RB: Stevan Ridley WR: Hakeem Nicks WR: Eric Decker TE: Rob Gronkowski W/R: Reggie Bush Q/W/R/T: Andrew Luck K: Caleb Sturgis DEF: New England BN: Shane Vereen BN: KenBrell Thompkins BN: Antonio Gates BN: Josh Gordon Bn: TY Hilton Im pretty much going to tear this league a new one..

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 18, 2013 -> 09:52 PM) Total BS that Bryan got screwed out of the belt crowd was really into him winning tonight. I am sick of HHH being in every angle, I knew when HHH hung around ring for 5 minutes RKO was coming out. It just makes more sense to have Bryan chasing the title while Cena gets his elbow fixed.. Although I very much enjoyed Cena losing clean..

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:41 PM) The "haul" from the Angels will be B and C prospects. That's what Kennedy is worth. Also note that Angels farm is not strong. The haul from Arizona will be reduced by the value they lost because they lost Kennedy. Maybe they send us only 1 top prospect and the rest of the return will be from the Angels, but I'll believe it when I see it, because the net result of this is that we are paying no money, which also would mean lesser prospects. Who cares, even if Peavy stays for next year this team is still going to be bad.. get what you can for him.. its better than 12 worthless wins on a 70-75 win team

But word of trades would break out before tomorrow anyway so whats the rub for MLB?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 09:09 PM) Tim Anderson really struggling of late Who does this surprise? This organization doesn't draft baseball players with high picks, just athletes.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 05:33 PM) Yes, every manager should be judged on his win loss. So managers shouldn't be judged on wins and loses and pitchers shouldn't be judged on wins and losses.. Wins and losses are the most important f***ing thing in the game, get out of here with this crap

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 09:46 PM) Sometimes you don't plan to pull a guy until he mouths off to you in the dugout Now this is a good point

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 09:38 PM) Maybe Ventura didn't want to embarrass him by having Wells run out there and making Rios come in from RF before inning ended? Ventura's not exactly Bobby Cox. Eh maybe..

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 09:35 PM) balta made a great point about Rios not heading back to the dugout after the DP Actually that wasn't even a good point.. Rios goes straight to RF and Robin says "Aw shucks guess ill have to wait for him to come back".. yeah right

inb4 Steve freaks out

I cant stand caulfield.. I really wish I could rip him but sadly that's not allowed..

I think Dunn has sneaky value to a good team that needs a power bat.. Hes still on pace for 40+ HRs and 100+ RBIs on this terrible team.. what could he do with people on base and actual good hitters around him? I think we would almost certainly have to eat a lot of salary, but I think that there could be interest in him..

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 21, 2013 -> 09:20 PM) just looking at that makes me want to masturbate

This is going to be unpopular and will never happen, but.. I would offer Chris Sale to the Rangers for Olt and Profar..

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 15, 2013 -> 02:04 AM) That's what I'm screaming. The money he saves by trading in games early in their release is negligible to the money he'd save on just rent it for 5 days for like $12. Anyone who hangs onto a game long past its prime is an idiot. I haven't paid full price for a game in about 4 years because of smart trading. I also traded in Bioshock 3 days after I bought it because I beat it and was done with it. It cost me no money to buy the game and I got $30 of credit for it. Its the smart thing to do.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 13, 2013 -> 01:08 PM) I feel sorry for anyone out there without a PS3. At least you get repackaged Halo all the time. That game has zero appeal to me

Im going to all 4 games.. cant wait

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 11, 2013 -> 07:33 PM) You're in amazon? Ive tried best buy and gamestop.. I dont want to do amazon because I feel like its too risky to have a piece of equipment like that in the hands of some slobby delivery man who might toss it in his truck or something like that.. am I wrong for having this concern?
