Don't know what the deal was before, but I got in just fine this time.It's because you are a ******* moron from Tennessee, duh
Is there anyone else who plays regularly who might not have noticed this thread yet that we need to let know?
We still need Kevin to sign up - then I'd say if no one has objections to go ahead and invite the other two. Unless you guys think we should wait a week or two to see if anyone else from JD uses the site. But I'm not about to try to stop inviting anyone being as I've already invited an outside player.
I assume you're referring to hypocrisy - which I intentionally (and successfully) managed to avoid. :-*
I prefer live.
I rather sit down for a hour or so and get it done.
Yeah, with 12 of us, I personally say we just draft here - but some people can't stand doing it that way.
I'm open to either method.
I figured I'd let people vote either if they want to but I was treating it like abstaining. If Brent wanted to change his either vote he can.
As for a prize - I think it's a great idea. (But something other than the Carnor Jax pack - I already pre-ordered mine so I won't have much use for another one when I win in December. :o
Of course, I was also going to wait about another 6 weeks before bringing it up - but if the link is there, then we might as well register and start collecting bodies.
I was just coming here to bump this up and restart the drafting conversation. My thinking is that we should just start drafting here 3 or 4 weeks before kickoff of season one.
We'll randomly pick a draft order a few days before that.
I'm pretty sure JayDouble is the Fighting Armidillos, which leaves SpudTrooper as the one person yet to register.

OMG sorry everyone, i totally forgot about this :P
Will join once i get the info
The live drafts go by pretty quick as you only get two or three minutes per pick I believe, and if everyone is there it usually goes by faster.
I can do most evenings, Wednesday or Thursdays... the later the better (as in, 9 or 10 CST).
I'm going to schedule the draft for Wednesday, August 29th, at 9:00 CST.Wednesday August 30th??
Any objections should be filed in triplicate.
So, we're currently set for August 29th, 10:30 CDT.
I'm going to throw a bunch of questions out to see what everyone wants:
- Do we want to stick with 12 teams? Or does anyone think we'll need 14 or 16. I guess we can always adjust it so long as it stays an even number.
- Live draft or like we usually do it? Either way is fine with me but I'd lean towards drafting here over the course of a week or two since we'll have more teams and it might be tougher to get everyone in one imaginary room at the same time.
- Do you guys prefer that the Playoffs be week 14,15,16 or 15,16,17 - Either an extra week of Fantasy Football, or less chance of starters resting during the championship game?
- How many bench spots? I'm usually in favor of a few too many rather than a few too few

I don't care how many flex spots, bench spots, IR spots, or point values we have, as long as it's set before the draft starts and remains that way throughout the entire season.
Is there an injured reserve spot on my roster?
No, there is no injured reserve position available in Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Football.
Across all fantasy games, Yahoo! requires a player to be on the real-life DL, IR, IL, etc. in order to qualify for a position there in the fantasy game.
In professional football, if a player is placed on injured reserve, he is deactivated for the season and is not eligible to return. As a result, that player has no fantasy value for the current season.
If a Custom League would like to allow managers to keep IR players for keeper-league purposes, we suggest configuring the league with one extra bench position.
Hey,
I just clicked into yahoo football to check the draft time and it's currently showing it starts in one day, four hours and a couple of minutes. That's 8:30 central, even though it says 8:30 Pacific. What gives? :o
I'd be for it if the scoreing looked something like this:
Field Goals Missed 0-19 Yards (-4)
Field Goals Missed 20-29 Yards (-3)
Field Goals Missed 30-39 Yards (-2)
Field Goals Missed 40-49 Yards (-1)
Field Goals Missed 50+ Yards (0)

Refresh the page, sometimes that works.
That was just a suggestion from Ryan. What we're discussing is -1 for a missed fieldgoal of any distance, or no loss for a missed fieldgoal.
I'm going to change it to -1 since there are currently 3 votes going that way and it's not like we have 10 people debating it.

Well, at the risk of spilling my draft strategy... I'm taking Pennington in the first round, Barlow in the second, Coles in the third, Jets' DEF in the fourth and Mike Nugent in the fifth.

Kevin, is that you?
No wait, that was two years ago and the Giants. Guess I can't ride him too hard as the defending champeen.
I'd have rather played you in week 13 or something with a potential playoff spot on the line - to keep it interesting and all.
I know the draft is over, so I'm completely cool with leaving it how it is if no one agrees with me - but I think it's a little harsh to penalize a point for a missed 50+ yarder.
Anyone else feel that way?
I'm OK with that
I could have taken him, I'd rather have my two guys...my great football mind will prove me right, yet againI'm OK with that
Good. I hope you're okay with my steal of a 3rd round pick Terrell Owens playing in the preseason game tonight too.
I could have taken him, I'd rather have my two guys...my great football mind will prove me right, yet again
The only reason I lost last year is because my RB's were done in Week 15 due to clkinching divisions far too early, hopefully that doesn't happen again
I could have taken him, I'd rather have my two guys...my great football mind will prove me right, yet again
Yet again?
You got beat by Kev last year (no disrespect Kev) and the year before that when Rob won you finished 12th.
"Great football mind"? More like "mind of a football".
;)
Ouch.
Texans | D. Davis placed on IR
Sat, 2 Sep 2006 10:57:15 -0700
HoustonTexans.com reports the Houston Texans have placed RB Domanick Davis (knee) on Injured Reserve, ending his 2006 season.
Kevin's repeat chances just took their biggest hit since he drafted a kicker in the fifth.
Spending your third rounder on a TE, losing your fourth rounder for the year before the season starts, and drafting a kicker in the fifth round definitely means something.
As for facing you, remind me real quick of how many times your ff team has beaten mine head-to-head?
That's all fine and good, but look at this team here and now, and tell me you're optimistic about your chances.
Know who Wali Lundy is now? ;)
Absolutely. While I definitely think you had one of the top 3 or 4 drafts out of the 12, I think mine was better. I like your team a lot, but I think I have the edge at every position save RB - because Jamal Lewis is a big question mark for me.
If you go back and look at the draft, a lot of the guys you have, are guys I directly passed on. Sure I might end up being wrong, but I can certainly look at your team and the matchup and be very optimistic about my chances - because I left McNabb on the board when I took Hasselbeck. I left Owens on the board when I took Fitzgerald, and again when I took Harrison. I left Tomlinson on the board when I took Larry Johnson, I left Ben Watson on the board when I took Todd Heap.. Same thing with Ahman Green (the one that I think I'll end up regretting) and Baltimore's defense.
For the most part I have the team I was hoping to get entering the draft, I valued my guys above the guys that you ended up with. Of course I have no idea how it will turn out because it's possible to lose to a better team or to have your players going up against better defenses on a given week or to have injuries kill you (you certainly can appreciate that given your Baseball fiasco) or to have guys disappoint like Lewis and Moss did for me last year (my #1 and #2 picks) but at the moment I'm thrilled and I really really like my chances at this point in the season to have a very good team.
QB: McNabb vs. Hasselbeck, you cannot say your's is "an edge". McNabb with Stallworth and Westbrook could easily regain his super bowl form from the year before last that made him a first round pick last season. You can flip a coin here between him and Hasselbeck.
McNabb throwing ot Stallworth is going to bring him back to Superbowl form??? Stallworth is entering his fifth year, and while he's good - he's never had 1000 yard season and he's never scored more than 8 TD's in a year. The Eagles are on the downswing, and if the SAINTS of all teams were ready to get rid of the guy, he's not going to be their savior. Westbrook has been dinged up in the preseason too with a foot injury. If the Eagles are going to have a good passing attack - Reggie Brown is going to be the guy, not Stallworth. Also, Hasslebeck lost Jurevicious but added Burleson, and got Darrel Jackson back. The Seahawks should pass all over teams this year.
Well crap, that picture is proof positive of a 1400 yard, 14 TD season on the horizon for Stallworth and a return to Superbowl form for McNabb.
I'd have rather played you in week 13 or something with a potential playoff spot on the line - to keep it interesting and all.
Since we have 12 teams, wouldn't you two face off in week 12 as well?
Well I plan to have my playoff spot all but wrapped up at that point

My stat tracker is working - but the yahoo pages aren't.
So I was just watching a Geico commercial and I realized where your smack talk came from Dressel.
Tell me it's not true. :o
That's the look he made when he realized he was up by 12 touchdowns and all you had left was Vinatieri and his bum leg. :-X
If the Eagles are going to have a good passing attack - Reggie Brown is going to be the guy, not Stallworth.
...you've got this one.
Congrats.

Pending any stat corrections the final results after the Monday night game are in:
Bushleaguers 63.13 (1-1)
SGC Airmen 63.35 (1-1)
I'd like to point out I'm thoroughly enjoying my current undefeated position :P I"d also like to point out my lofty status in the JD league. I felt I should do that since there may not be another opportunity...

I think there's one other undefeated team in our league. I'm not sure who it is though.

Indeed I noticed the 800 pound monkey above me.
I'm actually quasi-optimistic. My RBs are living down to expectations and they surely can't get worse, so some improvement should be in order. I think I'm ok for the time being at QB/WR/K/Def so RB is iffy and Miami is wasting my TE entirely with blocking. Six TDs last year and a QB now that favors TE receiving. Nice Miami, nice.
Just felt like whining a bit more about my RB's. I knew Lundy wouldn't be a star, but I thought he'd be a bit more of a surprise than this, in a positive way. Now that Gado is there, I'm guessing it's only a matter of time until Gado learns the system. Could be a big steal for Jamie that late in the draft.
Kevin Jones. Oh sure, I didn't expect a lot, but I thought with a new offensive coordinator (some guy used to be at KC or something), maybe the running game would improve. Gawd, they're awful. I was hoping to use three RBs (one in the flex) and Jones should have been a decent third. Oops.
Lamont Jordan. Ok, I expected him to take a downturn from last year but this (and the Raiders) is ridiculous. Granted they played two teams with great defense against the run, but is there some reason they can't throw the ball to the guy? ::)
Edge is fine for where I got him. I didn't expect too much, especially with the receivers they have so I'm ok with his production at this point. He's a weak #1 but I'm ok with that.
but is there some reason they can't throw the ball to the guy?
I meant besides that, Rob. :P Man, they suck.
I don't think it's fair to put TO on your list of woes until he actually misses a game - the radio here has him saying that the plate is in and he's cleared to play once he feels like it doesn't hurt to catch a pass.
Theoretically he can't damage the finger.
Post late-game updates:
Fightin' Armadillos 51.28 (T. Bell)
DR's 800 lb Gorilla 50.75 (Dillon, Watson, Colston)
So the key here is to score less and you win? :P I finally put together a half-assed weekend from my guys and I end up losing. I figure Bryant and the Niners cost me the win by coming back down to earth.

2) Just a hung, but I think the Saints are going to score an ass load of points tonight.
The stadium thing alone is going to have them on cloud 9. Even though I personally hope you don't win just because I'm further behind you in the standings than the Armadillos, I think you probably will.
Well I'm home sick, so I'm a little out of it - but I have no ******* idea what happened on that one. :o
Shaun Alexander out indefinitely with a broken foot.
Well, I say I've got like a 30% + chance at least. Colston has been a leading receiver for the Saints, target wise, and has 2 TD's in the first 2 games. He's real big and real tall and is a popular red zone target. He is a nice player because he has WR/TE eligibility.
Shaun Alexander out indefinitely with a broken foot.
Kevin makes the roster move of the year picking up Maurice Morris and I'm going to pick up Mack Strong just incase...
Given his draft, I wouldn't say that.
He's getting plenty of love from you to cover everyone.
Don't look now but a 20 yard TD means a win for the Golden Girls.
One more catch by Colston and you win DR. :'(
Don't look now but a 20 yard TD means a win for the Golden Girls.
You're right, but before I was defending Kev before I didn't realize the score was that close.
She could very well win this yet.
Mistakes of a first time Commish.
Looks like Scott is getting away with murder today. Brian, who has a history of doing this if I remember correctly, has left both a bye week player (Elam) and an inactive player (Henry) in his starting lineup.
That's a free win for Scott. Very annoying.
>:(
It's not like Bonds and the homerun record - there's no need for an asterisk.
I'm just making a point, if you let your opponent win unchallenged with no effort, I think that's a factor.
That sucks, did anyone think to try and get in contact with Brian to let him know?!
You just lack the great football mind
Who'd a thunk Ichiro jacking a homerun yesterday would have cost me the Baseball crown?
I swear, this is the 4th or 5th fraction of a point game I've had in 3 years of fantasy football and I have lost every one of them.
This time it was back to back weeks.
Always had a good team. Never had the luck.
Likewise I'm in 10th place because it's a head-to-head league but my team is fifth in points scored.
I love it, I've been going back and forth between Lee Evans and Kevan Barlow all season.
Last week I sit Barlow and he has 2 TD's - which would have been enough to win.
This week I sit Evans and he has 94 yards and a TD and Barlow is worthless. Playing Evans would have turned a .8 lead into almost an 11 point lead.
I can't figure my crap-ass team out.
I can't figure my crap-ass team out.
How I would have played that one basically would have been the same as your strategy. I'd have figured, pre-game of course, that Barlow would get more touches than Evans and the Jaguars D is probably a little less intense than the Bears.
Can't feel bad about that one, you're probably gonna win anyhow.
That was my thinking as well. But now Leon Washington got most of the Jet's carries today - and Barlow wasn't hurt. So I had to pick up Washington and I'll have to sit them both until it shakes out.
Might be a more even match up next week then as 6 of my guys are on bye weeks and Alexander is hurt
Likewise I'm in 10th place because it's a head-to-head league but my team is fifth in points scored.
That makes for an interesting observation:
TEAM POINTS SCORED W-L STANDINGS
Dressel 297 4th
JJKS 260 5th
Bug 233 1st
JayDouble 209 2nd
Zod 205 10th
Brian 195 6th
Ryan 194 7th
The Spud 189 11th
Maris 188.5 12th
Scott 183 8th
Kevin 179 9th
Matt Carroll 174 3rd
In bold are the numbers that should jump off the page at you. The most noteable mismatch in Points Scored and Position in the Standings W-L is Matt Carroll, who has scored the least points, but is ranked 3rd overall.
Time to look at that chart again... I'm now fifth in scoring - but I'm dead last in the standings.
How f'd up is that... 8)
All you need to do is get to the playoffs, then anything can happen.
Naw, sure it sucks this week but for the other weeks I'll be fielding the best team I can week after week. It'll even out, I just hopes its competitiveMight be a more even match up next week then as 6 of my guys are on bye weeks and Alexander is hurt
Ooh, crappy drafting. :P
DR's 400 lb Gorilla 88.77
SGC Airmen 41.27
Ouch. :-X
Well I hope he has at least 20. I've given up on this game and I've got him in my other league.
Looks like the gorilla put some weight back on this week.
Meanwhile Rex Grossman had better have at least as good a day as Hasselbeck just did - if I lose by the margin of that decision I'm going to throw in the towel.
Well I hope he has at least 20. I've given up on this game and I've got him in my other league.
I was at that Cowboy game today - all I could think about was you getting fantasy points every time TO caught a TD.
And (not that you needed the 6.5 points) that first TD catch probably shouldn't have stood up - it looked like he pushed off to me. But they called it on the defense - so lucky you, and lucky cowboys.
Ugh, 2 QB's on the roster, QB's with concussions. It's never good to have to pick up 37 year old QB to carry your fantasy team midseason, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Well I hope he has at least 20. I've given up on this game and I've got him in my other league.
Touchdown.
1st quarter, almost halfway there.
12 TD's total in one week.
That's got ot be a JD TD record.
That's also got to be more than my team has scored in 5 games. Amazing week for the Gorilla.

Didn't you pass on Tomlinson? :-*
I just want to repeat though even with the whole page 12/13 debate and the way it's going for Rob, if he were to rattle off 7 wins in the next 8 games, wouldn't shock me a bit. His team is still talented and dangerous. He won't win all 8 though cuz I'm fixin' to pat his little bottom again Week 12 ;)
The only passing TD the Bears have given up this season was a garbage time TD to Lee Evans last week - I'd say the odds of Boldin coming down with 2 TD's are very slim.
You need to start rooting for him to switch the mojo around - Grossman just lost a fumble.
The ****** thing is that Alexander is out another couple of weeks. I was really close to taking LT...really close.
That's true and I'm not looking forward to facing you again during playoffs. However having owned LT last year and watched him sit largely for the three games of the playoffs (fantasy), it may not be as clear cut then as it is now. I'm amazed I'm in first and part of my points differential is due to two pretty low scoring weeks to start the league, but I've picked up since then.
Making the playoffs depends on your win loss effort. After you get there, nothing is guaranteed.

Agreed, but at the same time Fitzgerald is likely on the shelf and Boldin will likely be targeted 8-12 times. Just playing devil's advocate :D
- The biggest differential between points scored and position in the standings is Jamie who has scored the 3rd most points but is 10th in the standings, making him the biggest victim of chance in the league.

Don't bet the spread this week chump!
Rob, I'm projected by Yahoo to beat you by .03 points. I bet I at least double that up on you!
I've made sure to PM Matt that he has two guys in his starting line up, no need to give you an advantage, I've also PM'ed the rest of the league to make sure they PM him as well so he really gets the message that he has two guys starting who are on bye weeks
Maybe I voted for myself! :-\
THAT's the Larry Johnson I was expecting when I drafted him!
With 2 TD's already in that game I think you're right.
Good football week for me ;D

Ahhh, come on. You're still down by 30 with just Brady and a kicker to go.

Scott is down 59-32 and he's not making up 27 points with a kicker and Brady. That would be something.

You sure about that? ;)
I'd like to add that the descrepency came back last week. My 2-6, dead last team has outscored SIX of the teams in the league, the 5 directly above me, and the #3 team (Brent).
Disgusting.
With Tomlinson, Holt, McNabb, Owens, and the best kicker, tight end, and top 2 defense in the league - It's so easy, a caveman could do it.
Care to enlighten me on exactly what you're talking about?
the ax is already dropping on Jamie (who I suspect is the PM snitch, so justice will be served there)
What creative stat are you using to make your kicker the best?
Dude you're mopping the floor with Pearson right now like 63-5. Brutal stuff. Props.
Roughly tied yeah, but Gould, my kicker, isn't roughly anything, he's #1 this year. Not a great day today though, but dem's da Bears.
Here we go again - looks like I'll outscore about 7 teams in the league and still come up with a big fat LOSS.
It's pretty much comedy at this point.
Bah, he deserves it. After the run he's had lately drafting near the top of the pools this year his luck was bound to sour.
:-*
I'll be disappointed if I don't win it all, for sure.
San Diego: 6-2. Dollars to donuts LT is sitting during a portion of the playoff run.
Same goes for Colston, he'll be parked if their record is as good come week 12 or so.
Your bench is pretty weak and really not that deep, so if those sitdowns occur, you might not be sitting so pretty. I've no doubt your season record will be probably 10-3 or so by playoff time.
Falcons, Giants, Panthers, Steelers, Bengals, Cowboys.
Actually I've got the best bench and depth in the league. I've got 4 stellar WR's. I've got Tomlinson with Dillon, Ahman Green, and Travis Henry at RB. I've got Watson who is decent at TE. Vinatieri and Ravens D won't be sitting.
I'm not suggesting you don't have a good team across the board, you obviously do. I just happen to see potential for you to lose. If you disagree, start your superb bench this week. Of course you're not going to do that, it would be foolish.
Bug even if you take Tomlinson and Colston out of my lineup from Week 1 onward, and replace them with Dillon (or Green) and Watson, I'm still the #1 scorer by almost 100 points. Even when you start substituting my bench players in different permutations, I'm still the best.
Stallworth pulled a hammy, but he will be back in full effect, worry not. Even if he's not, I don't need him anyhow.
Worst case scenario from your analysis is:
QB McNabb
WR Owens
WR Holt
RB Dillon (instead of Tomlinson)
RB Green
TE Watson (instead of Colston)

And even at that I'm still the #1 scorer by close to 100 points, and that's if you take 2 of my top guns away.
On my team today... Jamal Lewis scores THREE touchdowns, LJ adds a pair, and Lee Evans, from the bench, has a Chad Johnson like day with 250 yards and 2 scores (so far) and I still have Harrison and Fitzgerald to go.
Unbelievable.
I don't know if I'm mathematically out of the playoffs already, but this was the type of day I envisioned all along.

Colston is a huge loss. You were minutes ahead of me on the waiver wire to get him. McNabb could be bigger yet though.
I saw the replay on McNabb and that was weird. Didn't look too bad, so I was kind of surprised he didn't stay in ???
Wanna trade for Hasselbeck?
Ha Ha
Go ahead and say my team sucks, yours would too if you had the #1 player in Fantasy Football out for most of the year with a bum foot...anyone who says his team is stacked and isn't worried about injuries and then gets all melodramatic over an injury deserves to be ribbed just a wee bit
Ha Ha
Before I say what I'm about to say, I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt to clarify this comment...

And where did I say I wasn't worried about injuries? Especially to the #1 and #2 fantasy players Tomlinson and McNabb?
And my team is stacked. I still am forecasted to score 73 points next week without McNabb, which still leads the league. I think Trent Green will be a decent fill in.
And I don't need to say anything about your team "sucking" as you say. Your zero championships in fantasy sports here says enough about that.
And congratulations on bobsledding down the evolutionary scale to meet Slothus at the bottom, and finding a way to celebrate the injury to another player.
I guess I can't fault you in all this though, since my bench beat your team 100-30.
So go "Ha Ha" that, while I keep winning.
I dunno, I look at that and think they're in pretty good shape. Giants, Steelers and Cowboys strike me as middle of the road. I'm still skeptical about Vick's newfound abilities and the Bengals have been finding ways to get beaten. Panthers? Them too.
As for LT, we'll see what happens. If they happen to win against Seattle and once against Denver my guess is he sits. I think those are reasonable odds for them to win those games. I think they'll lose in Denver though.
Don't count out injuries
Dear God my lead is down to 4.5 points.
A Plaxico TD or a long FG or a short FG and a few catches, and I lose again, and the Giants are going to spend the rest of the game throwing, throwing, throwing...
Amazing.
Your bench is pretty weak and really not that deep
You should have a very easy win coming up this week...
Your bench is pretty weak and really not that deep
Oh look my weak and not deep bench had just 4 TD's again. No depth there whatsoever.
Gee, if I'm so far out of the know, why are you trading for Tomlinson's backup right now? :-*
Looks like I just won
If it's any consolation Rob, I'm hoping Hasselback has a big night too. :P
He only has to throw one TD to the right person to make me happy.
I know Rob you got a really bad hand dealt to you with some extremely bad luck.
I really didn't have that same rabid passion to beat you like I did in Week 1, but I had to do it anyhow at the risk of that cute little "head to head" scorecard of your's resurfacing.
:P
The stupidest part of the week is that Gado who accumulated zero points was a better play than Edge who was -1 for the week. ::) I should have started Fargas instead, who had almost a whopping two points :-X
Whatever works it out. I didn't expect to be in a position to win, so if Jackson or Driver can help me clinch a playoff spot this week, I'll be extremely pleased.
It's comical at this point.
Wow, this week's matchup went in my favor... got to win my game before Hasselbeck and Kasay even played.

RB: Tomlinson and Dillon/Green is better than LJ who lost Roaf and can only run to one side now and Jamal Lewis and his broken hip. If I had the first overall pick of this draft, and not the fourth, I'd still have taken LaDainian Tomlinson.
Rob responds:
The loss of Roaf is a concern, as is the loss of Hutchinson in Seattle (Alexander), but I passed on LT because of the fact that they decided to go with Phillip Rivers over Drew Brees. As good as LT is, I think that comparatively the entire Chargers offense is going to sputter until the kid gets used to being a starter in real games. LT will still get his points, but maybe not as many as last year.
Okay, what the hell happened to Brent? Did he go on vacation or something?
Where would Kevho be if he took LT like he should have instead of Tiki ******* Barber, taking Shaun and LJ were both reasonable picks at the time, LT faltered mightly down the stretch last year and had a new unknown QB...but Tiki Barber???? Come on ::)
Go ahead and criticize me Kevin, I'd be below Rob if I took Tiki ******* Barber ahead of the big 3
and again I ask where would he be with LT instead of Tiki????
Yeah...brilliant...I knew Alexander was going to be out for the 3/4 of the year...you are a moron
I'd be below Rob if I took Tiki ******* Barber ahead of the big 3
It is still the worst pick in the First Round and was pretty much gave you LT on a silver platter.
Yeah...brilliant...I knew Alexander was going to be out for the 3/4 of the year
Adamantly.
because some numbskull picked his favorite player from the local team
And again, healthy Alexander = no playoffs for said numbskull. You cry and whine all the time about your baseball team this year...the same can be said about not having the 2nd best player in Fantasy Football for over half the year, I don't think I'd be in the top 3 but I know I would be better than where I was
Do the math without Colston who is listed, but shouldn't be, a TE.
#1 Why would you trade anything to the guy in first place?
#2 I thought you had sooo much depth that injuries didn't concern you...
All I have to say is...

And now, this is what I have to say to you:

Try that on.
Kind of surprised to find a third place trophy for football in my yahoo case today :o So playoffs don't count for the standings it seems. Weird, given with playoffs I finished up in sixth (what was that, Edge's second TD this year?)
