Yay just finished up the Stafford is Fat League Draft. My team is all sorts of wacky, but man that was fun for my first time playing fantasy sports!

“That was a tough play,” O’Brien argued. “D. J. did go in there with his shoulder, but the way Welk ended up trying to catch that ball … he went down (and) the angle changed at the last second (so Swearinger’s) shoulder hit Welker in the head. D.J. was not trying to do any harm. He was trying to make the tackle.”

O’Brien added, however, “I think the call was correct. What you continually have to show the guys on tape what a proper tackle is. It’s not leading with the head. It’s hitting with your shoulder and hitting basically between the shoulders and the waist and not above the neck area. But last night’s play was a tough one to say, ‘You were really at fault there.’”

O’Brien admitted, “D.J. is playing hard … I’m enjoying having him on this team. The way he plays the game, he’s an emotional guy. He loves football. That’s what I love about him. From the day we arrived here he was one of the first guys in the building. He worked hard in our weight room, worked hard out on the practice field in OTAs (and) has worked extremely hard to get better in training camp. He’s just an emotional guy. That’s something every team needs.”

Random question, but have any of you bought an open-box item from Best Buy before?

Thinking about getting an open-box 42" Sharp HDTV from Best Buy, and I was just wondering if I have anything to worry about as far as quality goes.

The tv I bought from best buy was actually the floor model, and that was like 5 or 6 years ago now.

I guess that's as anecdotal as it gets since every tv is different, so who knows! I'm pretty sure they have a solid return policy.

Should be able to buy the best buy extended warranty with it. Worth it, just in case.


Hilariously, I think Jeff George still has an agent. Last I heard, he stays in shape and practices just in case someone does get that desperate.


Yeah he was in Raiders camp, I wanna say 3 years ago lol

Jeff Garcia is always trying to get into a camp as well.

That's also one of the things I was curious about, in addition to whether or not the manufacturer's warranty was still applicable.

Usually the manufacturer's warranty sticks. I only buy floor models/returns from Costco, so I can't help beyond that.

eznark, NFLGAF, the SiF draft has been completed. With the 2nd pick in the SiF draft I took Matthew Stafford.

Slingin' Staffords'

QB: Matthew Stafford
RB: Arian Foster
RB: Zac Stacy
WR: Keenan Allen
WR: Larry Fitzgerald
TE: Zach Ertz
K: Mason Crosby (I felt horrible with this pick)
Defense: Detroit Lions
Flex RB/TE/WR: Sammy Watkins?

Now check this bench out:

Johnny Manziel- QB
Kelvin Benjamin- WR
Carlos Hyde- RB
Golden Tate- WR
K. Robinson- RB
D Walker- TE

I'm stacked at WR. I have faith either Benjamin or Watkins will pan out giving me trade bait.

All in all I love my team.

Why the hell is RamsGAF panicking? You have Shaun "The Dragon" Hill as your backup. Pretty much equivalent to Bradford anyway.

Dutch: Wise decision with Stafford my friend. I don't get the Google hangout part though.
 
Watching alittle bit of yesterday's game before SNF, some random thoughts on O.

Idk about the rest of browns Gaf, but I like marqueis gray, could be a player for us. Needs to a better job of holding onto the ball though.

We need some Wr depth, guys aren't helping our qbs. Hopefully someone on the waiver can help. Saw Grover's boy Jerry Rice 2.0 got released lol

I like Taylor Gabriel

Didn't think Dion Lewis would make the team before preseason, but he'll definitely make this team and get playing time. Saw him line out wide a couple times, he's got good hands

Pls NFL, Pls Gordon

That was a very good head first slide.

That's how they teach it.

You guys didn't have a Google hangout during your draft where you video chatted with all the bros?

I'm the only valid Dragon in this thread. Take your Shaun Hill porn elsewhere friend!

Shaun Hill was always better than Stafford so I expect him to do well on the Rams. At least better than Bradford anyway.

godslay, was Jon Lynch on your Broncos broadcast? I am just interested if it was just a local thing, or not . I wish they would have all local teams doing the Broncos announcing for every game like in hockey and basketball.

Yeah I had Zappolo and Lynch.

Hill throws jump balls. Worked in Detroit b/c he had Megatron. If Quick and Britt are legit he can thrive in STL. But he's 34. Hard to see him lasting a whole year, and that is the bigger problem. They have nothing close to a legit backup
