Yes, he couldn't get Joey Flaccid, so at least he managed Wee Evans.

Dammit, I knew I should've gone Tolbert. By the time my guys are on bye, Ryan Mathews will probably be up on blocks anyway.

RB Joseph Addai, Colts

The Diabetic Warrior himself, QB Jay Cutler, Bears.

This is true. Biggest reason I was jacked to get Ray Rice in the first round. Yeah, they can gameplan for him and then get lit up for 300 yards and three TDs out of Schaub all year. The defenses have to weigh their options very carefully.

Houston still hasn't ever improved their offensive line. Yeah, they signed Schaub. Yeah they signed Andre Johnson to a huge deal. But they still haven't addressed the offensive line. I don't believe things would have ever changed. Matt Schaub =David Carr 2.0 Arian Foster hasn't seemed to mind it, either.

I'll submit one with my next pick...which should be around Labor Day at this rate.

Waiting for Livid to go with Kenny Britt now and kickstart the hilarity all over again. If somebody grabs a taken player, they need to just be autopicked immediately and move on.

Should be, but I got a "Cannot join this group" message. Looked like this: Cannot join this group Different Conferences - Your selected entry uses a different conference than this group. You can only join groups who use the same conference as your entry. Either create another entry or change this entry's conference if you have not yet accrued any points.

How about I give you a little hell for it? No Lance Briggs, only four series of Urlacher, and Carr shredded the backups. Yep, it's preseason. Besides, I still assert that Carr would have been a fine QB if his pocket in Houston hadn't been slightly less safe than standing in the middle of an Interstate highway. Now, the dude's jumpier than Tweek from South Park.

^ .... come on, there's got to be more than ONE of you with some nuts Probably not. There doesn't seem to be many who like to read, either. *COUGHOWNERSTOURNEYCOUGH* The Dome must be a ghost town by now. And the Challenge group uses only Big XII? Meh.

Just when we thought the NFL could finally be a Favre-free zone: Link All that said, Favre > Curtis "Wait, How Do You Throw This Thing?" Painter or Dan "Eeeek! Let Me Take a Safety So the Bad Men Will Stop Chasing Me!" Orlovsky. And this is coming from a Colts fan who's tremendously sick of Favre.

Got sigs turned off? We're getting the fall schedule this coming week. For one last week, we're on at 8 AM CT this Wednesday. When it changes, it'll be on Facebook (or in my sig here ) If your iPod has Safari, you can try wmts.org and maybe (MAYBE) stream from there. And both of those pics are great. Loved ESPNU running "The U" and "Pony Excess" back to back this afternoon. Finally got to see both all the way through, and the SMU deal sheds even more light on why Miami won't get that kind of penalty.

Yeah, I'm wrapping up Part 2 with all the other conferences and then I'll do the Independents together. Ivan Maisel does one on ESPN that's all right if you can stand Beano Cook. Forde is on it sometimes wich is great. Also, these guys are pretty good at times: CFB Guys Oh and Starr and those 4Q guys do some decent CFB work from time to time (Y) We try. Now if only our ghetto-ass station could get our recording equipment fixed so we could podcast again. It's going on three months now.

WR Mario Manningham, Giants.

Like I said to a guy on the 4Q FB page last night, TV bans might be even worse for a school than the death penalty at this point. Still having to spend the money to support a team, and not getting that expenditure offset by TV revenues? Harsh. It's also hard to sell a program to a recruit when he knows he's a) walking into a zone where the NCAA will be watching everything; and 2) will never, ever be on TV during his entire career. Take them down to about 50 scholarships instead of 85, ban them from TV for the entire career of their next recruiting class...shit, that infamous Sports Illustrated cover may just come true.

We'll see. I'm pretty high on John Beck and Tim Tebow. Championshiiiiiiip... Last year I nearly won one with Kyle Orton at QB Of course you did, because Orton is a former Boilermaker, and 2 out of 3 Boiler QB's go on to be at least occasionally bad-ass. (Yea: Brees and Orton. Nay: Painter.)

We'll see. I'm pretty high on John Beck and Tim Tebow. Championshiiiiiiip...

Oh, go with yer boy Flacco. You know you wanna. (Y)

Guess it's time to get a QB, so I'll take everyone's favorite sexual predator: QB Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers.

Football/Basketball Round 2 write-up. Snyder spending like a drunken sailor or Brown never spending at all? Irsay getting drunk and firing a coach because he won't make a QB change, or Braman letting one of the best defenses of the last two decades walk one by one? And can anyone stand up to the pure evil of Donald T. Sterling?

There are only so many TEs in the league who should even be on a Fantasy team. I'll take my chances with one of these two on my bench and one more team being weak at the position in the league. It's not like there were WRs out there right now who are a far bigger upgrade over what will be available in a round or two. Hope you enjoy having your best producers stuck on the bench and an entire league unwilling to trade with you, especially since the TE position is deeper than it's ever been. There are probably 20 guys draftable this year. If you're gonna hoard something, grow a pair and collect QB's. Now there's some position scarcity.

And the names are ridiculous. Andre Johnson, Vince Wilfork, Willis McGahee, Jon Beason, Jon Vilma...nearly everyone who's anyone in Miami football the last decade. A few of the guys are talking, but it's mostly the ones that have washed out of pro ball. That's going to be the nugget of Miami's defense, that it's disgruntled guys who are looking to make some bank off of being a part of this story. They'll come up with some alibi for the pics with guys like Wilfork, and there won't be anything approaching the death penalty, even though there richly should be. The TV partners like being able to put the U on when they're decent, and they won't be happy if that ratings source gets axed.
