So how much does it cost to upgrade the league to plus? 

$124.99

I'll upgrade it, but I'm not paying a cent out of my pocket for that.  If you all want to take up a collection and cover my costs, fine, but I'm just not THAT into it.

[JediJman]

I'll bet Justin...7.5 over under on Moss TD's for the year, loser buys a beer for the winner next meeting I get to

Deal, though we better meet at a place that has good beer for a change.

All the money in the world won't save my team.

[Rob]

Yeah... that's only a little over $11 each (if everyone else was in) but I don't think it's worth it - unless we wanted to start a keeper league (next year).

[JediJman]

No thanks.  Why do you want to see who's being added the most in other leagues anyway? 

A.) Their scoring could be radically different
B.) The general public is likely no better at predicting results than you
C.) Man up

Just watch who I pick up and you'll know who you should have grabbed.

It gives you an easy place to see if some unknown player is suddenly valuable.  If 30,000 teams added some back-up running back or receiver then you know that the starter got hurt or lost his job and now this guy's the one.  It's how I found out about Ryan Grant last year and is an incredibly valuable free agency tool. 

[JediJman]

But if you're basing who to pick up based on who a good deal of other people are picking up, then don't you think those people are finding out from some other site or news report that there is someone valuable on the wire?  And if that's the case, isn't it likely that either you or one of your 11 competitors would also find this news from some other source around the same time or sooner and grab the pickup before you could get to him? 

I'm still not seeing the huge advantage here, but here's something that may help you out.  While it doesn't show pick-ups per se, you can go to the players list and do a ranking on % owned of free agents.  Anyone who is being picked up by gobs of teams should be owned by a fair amount of people, so you can just check the % owned periodically.   

[Rob]

Yes.  That's just where I've often gone to see who's moving.  Trust me, it's a nice tool to have.  I'll find one elsewhere.

[JediJman]

They have a transaction report on CBS Sportsline too, but I think you might have to be in one of their leagues to see it. 

[JediJman]

Just an FYI for those that haven't heard.  The Ravens/Texans game that was moved to Monday night is now complete cancelled and they'll play later in the year.   If you have any Texans or Ravens, you might want to swap them out for other players this week. 

[Rob]

You're WAAAAAAAAAYYY to good of a sport to be announcing that here.

[Scott]

Randy Moss, 2 Catches for 22 yards, 0 TD's

He's now on pace for 1000 yards and 8 TD's

Sweet - 8 TDs still gets me a free beer from you.   

Have to say, I'm a little worried after today's game.  I have moss in a couple of leagues, so here's hoping he and the Pats can tep it up a little. 

[Theo Zissou]

moss should be fine. I worried about Maroney though. i really shouldn't of drafted him in my money league. he fell all the way to 50th overall so it was hard to resist. most likely going to end up droping him for someone else :/

I didn't see all of that game, but I thought he got injured part way through...?  Kep in mind that he didn't explode until the back half last season.
