Todd Akin, is that you? Rape is never ok.

Have fun being the Aints again
He's a Steelers fan, so their views on rape aren't that different.
He was the OG Matt Flynn! He's also a fantastic dude and great teacher. I doubt the Titans will let him go for nothing, he's very valuable to a young QB.
Sex can be consensual you know!
Well I went to my draft last night and here were my picks (#1 12 man standard league)
Aaron Rodgers
Stevan Jackson
Michael Turner
Larry Fitzgerald
Dez Bryant
Jacob Tamme
Stevie Johnson
Garrett Hartley
Pats Defense
Bench
Josh Freeman
Benjarvus Green-Ellis
Stevan Ridley
Austin Collie
Coby Fleener
Bengals Def.
Already looking at dropping Collie for Greg Little or Torrey Smith. Overall pretty happy with my draft. Before anyone asks we are required to keep an extra Def on our bench so we have a little better waiver selection.
Thoughts?

Pats D. You're a brave man. And Fitz in the fourth round? Isn't that a little late? Or am I misreading your post.
I also hope we'll have a separate thread for FF talk like last year.

So that no one will post in it and post their teams and all of their questions here anyways? Frankly, it's never bothered me personally but even when there was thread for it it seemed like it was a ghost town.Milchjon said:

Jags/Saints is on NFL Network.
Gabbert looks much improved. He's standing tall in the pocket and looking downfield. Not as skittish as he was last season. He also got rid of that Nancy hair cut.
One caveat though - Saints defense.

Gabbert had a helluva nice opening drive against the Giants first team defense (though it was pretty run heavy). I'd like to see him go up against defenses in the regular season when teams are trotting out vanilla formations but still, I think there is noticeable improvement for the guy for sure.DeconKnowledge said:
......and the Benglas were taken? I mean if you had to choose between the two that's not even a question.DSmalls84 said:
The post doesn't represent the order of the draft. It's just the order there listed in my Lineup. Fitz was with the pick #24 the last of the second round. Also there was a run on defenses before the final round so there wasn't much left besides the Pats/Bengals.

Shawn Merriman done in Buffalo:

Ah, didn't notice them on your list. Sorry. I'd be starting the Bengals D if I was in your position. But then I generally suck at fantasy football so.DSmalls84 said:
I took both the Pats and the Bengals because we are required to bench a def team to hold a bench spot. I know both aren't great but I was under the impression the Bengals Defensive unit was pretty solid last year and that the Pats revamped their Def with a few first rounders this year.
I dunno. It always feels like it's one-way communication. One guy posting about his team and no one else cares.

Oh I agree. I think posting your team and those yahoo FF images is something that should go in a dedicated FF thread but it's been fairly common for folks to ask about who they should start in a given week and that kind of thing. I've done it in the past once in a good while and that sorta thing never bothered me much when its been asked in here. Up to the NFL-GAF collective hive mind at the end of the day...Milchjon said:

Complaints take up more posts than just answering. Can't be bothered to whine about it any more.
Every year I do it, every year it dies. I'll just keep responding to FF posts with unrelated and inane details from my own life that are probably as interesting as who you just drafted in a fantasy football league with you hometown friends that none of us know or give a fuck about.
I had eggs for breakfast. In the second round I took bacon. Hash browns were Mr. Irrelevant.

Eznark is Arian Foster confirmed? jnc
Don't believe the haters Patriots defense will be top 10 this year. Super excited to see the young rookies again for the Pats today. It's too bad Tavon Wilson won't be playing today. I wonder if Brady is going to play today since they have to play three games in 10 days or something like that.
Also, great fucking news Pats fans
Great sign that Vollmer is one step closer to being healthy. He should be a big boost to the oline.

Not sure if this is some kind of joke or something but Arian Foster doesn't eat bacon. Because Arian Foster is the most awesome guy in the NFL.
Isn't there a thread for retarded fantasy football discussion?
Fantasy makes sense for garbage sports like baseball that are so boring people had to invent a more interesting game to distract people from the fact that they were watching baseball. But football? I don't see how you could make it more interesting without adding jetpacks. Fantasy is totally unnecessary for the greatest sport of all time.
May as well start telling us about how awesome your game of Madden was last night. I will be just as interested in hearing about that.

Hitler didn't eat bacon either you Nazi puke.
Last night I beat Purdue 14 - 13, you should have seen it. I won with only 30 seconds to go. You would have loved it!

I'm okay with the Fantasy discussion as long as people start posting apology videos on youtube and link them in this thread.
Fantasy is just a way to keep in contact with buddies of mine from college and hs that I don't see at all anymore. So yeah it's pretty useless.
Welcome, brother!
We are the most pessimistic of NFL-Gaf, other than that lunatic with the Roddy White avatar.
Regular season is great...it's always the playoffs where I get pessimistic.

Why don't you post vids of our backup rb destroying your overrated D?

Hakeem Nicks will return to practice today for the Giants. His reps will be limited though and whether he plays in the preseason will be determined by how practice goes (keep him out, please).

Here is a pic of your back up RB who cant take a hit from a sub 200lb CB
Our backup is Kendall hunter. And Jacobs won't be out as long as bitch ass Arian foster was last year after Patrick Willis fucked him up in the preseason! You could see foster was running scared when pat was in the game.
Biggest waste of money since Chris Johnson!
I'm excited enough to sport a new avatar. Finally no more old man QB or just winz.
Who doesn't love a guy who kisses his momma
Hype:
Jake Locker... Easily a Top-10 Fantasy QB
His accuracy does scare me at times

I had my draft last night. I got two QBs , a handful of WRs TEs and RBs, and a defense and a kicker or something. Will I win?

Did u get Alex? If yes then you already won... In ff and in life
did you draft crosby as your kicker?

The media got a chance to talk to Prince and folks about the cold tub thing:
Prince says he doesn't consider it hazing which I don't personally buy. Of course it is. There's no question it is. Tuck mentioned the cold tub treatement is pretty common for them along with cutting a rookies tie and shirt on the plane while they are sleeping.
Coughlin addressed the team in todays meeting about it and dropped the social media hammer, apparently. Weatherford in particular likely took the brunt for posting the video to begin with. There's a cold tub waiting for him after practice more than likely.
