Well, I've set up a fantasy football. Yes, FF already. I sent a few ppl emails. If you wish to join before I set it to a public league in a day or two. PM your e-mail and I'll send the league. Thanks!




P.S. This is my 1,000th post!!!

Bah, football.


I'm not fairing so well in my three baseball leagues so far.

[James the Defender]

Well, I have a dilemma for Week 1... I have the Eagles Defense and the Colts Defense... The Eagles are playing Green Bay and the Colts are playing the Texans...which defense should I choose? The Packers are going to be BEASTLY, but the Texans are also really good and the Eagles D is better than the Colts... I'm removing the fact that I'm a Packers fan from the equation. What should I do? Do I follow the projected stats, or do I take the intangible of GB having a bad taste in their mouths from the playoff game and playing like they're in the Super Bowl?


Plz help... thank you

GO LIONS

Er, I'm no expert and don't bother with fantasy football, but I'd probably go with the Colts.

James, you should look into the projected scores of the games, just don't go by what yahoo says. They're wrong. A LOT. It's good to get as much info as you can from other sites, like NFL.com and ESPN. Look at what they all have to say and choose that way. Or go with your gut. More often than not, the decisions that I make depending on how I feel a game will turn out are usually pretty good. And I'm not even a truly knowledgeable football guy. Though my 5 or 6 championship fantasy trophies would beg to differ.

kk, thanks

How awesome is this starting roster?!

[James the Defender]

Nice! The only thing that can possibly be upgraded it the TE. Olsen is a great TE, but his new Offensive Coordinator, Mike Martz, is not TE friendly.

[Uncle Du]

Yea, but when it comes to TE's, it's kind of slim pick-ens. I'll more than likely wait for the first couple weeks of the season, then check again to see if there are any new up and comers at the position that are getting a lot of touches. Not all TE's have Peyton or Rivers throwin' at em, lol.

[James the Defender]

lol, This is true. 8 in our league, correct? 8 best TEs (IMHO, not in any particular order)

Jermichael Finley--GB
Jason Witten--DAL
Dallas Clark--IND
Antonio Gates--SD
Owen Daniels--HOU
Visanthe Shiancoe---MIN
Brent Celek--PHI
Tony Gonzalez--ATL

But Martz did awesome things for the Lions a couple years back.

I'm not saying he's not a great coordinator. He is. He's just not TE friendly.

Yep. *shines Lions trophy*

[James the Defender]

They have a trophy?

Were you missing the sarcasm in my last two posts?

[James the Defender]

You were missing my ...
