Well, after yahoo gate squashed CB3's GAF allstar fantasy league, the whole thing just seems to have been left on the table. Enron is trying to salvage the allstar league, but that leaves two others on the bench. Do we still have enough interested people? I'm already commish for one league but I'm dedicated enough to start a GAF league if people want to play.

Had my draft for a 12 team league last night. Don't really know what to think of it right now it could pay off for me but I could crash and burn.

QB: Kitna, Garrard
HB: Marion Barber, Matt Forte, Rashard Mendenhall
WR: Andre Johnson, Dwayne Boewe, Anthony Gonzalez, Devin Hester
TE: Alge Crumpler, Anthony Fasano
K: Josh Brown, Jason Elam
TDEF: Jacksonville, Tennessee

Hmm, definitely some gambles there - huge risks outside of your #1 starters - Is it PPR or something though? I'm guessing you picked (in order) Barber, Johnson, Forte, Bowe, Garrard, Mendenhall, right? (Er...two kickers? Do you start two kickers?!)

I liked when Suisham picked Barber and everyone just got on him the whole time, plus Smoot was cracking me up everytime especially his comment on the falcons new QB.
No one said anything about Westbrook who was picked earlier, though. :P

Not sure in total, but he was set to make 2.9 million this year. He did originally sign a 5 year deal.
It was either a 3 or 5 year deal but I want to know what the hell they ever saw in him.

And why do the Bucs want him back? I must be missing something.

I'd be down for another.

Not sure, maybe he just fits their system. Or, the Bucs are just used to mediocrity.

Hooray, Simmons and Uncle Sal return with their guesses about the lines!

Watching Bill and his butt buddy from FO basically sulk about the Super Bowl for the first 5 minutes was pretty good :lol

Also, did GAF league 2 draft yet? I looked a bit ago, and nothing was happening. Did that fall through or something?

IIRC it was a 5 yr 16 million deal

Hilarious video of Chris Cooley trying to get the Skins offense involved in a fantasy football league. The look on Jason Campbell's face is priceless. :lol

How many RB's and WR's start? I'm assuming Marion went round 1, Andre round 2, Forte 3, Bowe 4th, after that I can't figure out how you drafted. Drop one of those kickers this second and pick up another WR or RB from Free agency. If you can, try and trade up at WR or RB once you can, try packaging in one of those defenses or TE's to do so.

UPDATE: Tatum Bell vehemently claims complete innocence. He acknowledges that he took the bags, but says he believes that they believed to another Lion who had been recently cut, who had asked Bell to retrieve his bags for him. Bell claims to have stolen nothing.

Rudi Johnson says that, yes, he has his bags back, but that cash and underwear are missing. He does not believe Bell's story.

Underwear, Tatum? REALLY?
 
word out of philly is that now sheldon brown is unhappy with the whole lito sheppard situation.

apparently drew rosenhause put up a youtube vid in which he claims lito should be starting over sheldon.

today reporters asked sheldon about that statement and he lashed out basically telling drew to STFU. and that he knows nothing about sheldon brown or his play. he only signed on to be lito's agent 2 months ago and doesn't know the situation.

this then prompted reporters to ask sheppard how he felt about his agent bad mouthing one of his best friends on the team who just happens to be starting over him.

sheppard basically came off like a dumbass claiming hes 100% behind anything drew does or says but that he personally doesnt bad mouth players and its not his style. asked if this could be a problem like the TO situation he said it could.

apparently eagles learned nothing from dealing with drew back in 05.
 
Guess you missed the news of Lito and Sheldon squashing it(privately) and found laughing together in the lockeroom..

Unfortunate news for our team :-/

Drew Rosenhaus and Scot Boras deserve death.
 
man, jason campbell looks so confused just trying to figure out what fantasy football is. theres no way he can handle an nfl playbook. maybe he'd be better off learning something in the style of:

haha at Marion Barber being picked in the 1st round :lol

The same thing happened in my draft: 8th overall. I don't get it either. He is going to get you plenty of TDs, but a guy like Peterson or Tomlinson will get you the same amount of TDs, plus plenty more yards.

It's the whole "Redskins player choosing a Cowboys player in the first round" thing.

What league are you in where you can draft LT or AP at 8? I wouldn't draft Barber 8th either, but it's not like you are passing over studs like those two guys.

On a related note, I guess fantasy football advice is cool in this thread? I can't decide who to start as my flex this week. I have it narrowed down to one of these two.

Thomas Jones @MIA
Earnest Graham @NO

Any thoughts?
