Dude, I got Jeter and Rollins. :p

That's what happens when there's only 6 people in a baseball league.

Man, I must have the wrong guys on the bench. I'm in last in that league. :p

Though, not doing much better in my other two, either. Blah.

To quote Harry Kalas: "Chase Utley, you are the man!"

Though, Shane Victorino is 4/5 with a triple, HR, and five RBI. Today, someone wanted to trade me Hanley Ramirez an Jair Jurjjens for Shane and Lincecum...fat chance, 'specially with Shane leading off in place of injured J-Roll.

Go, Phillies! w00t!!

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. ;)

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.

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.

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. :p

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

Wow, 16? And I thought managing 3 teams was hard. :p

Even 16 isn't difficult. <5 minutes is dedicated to each league. No problem. I won't have 16 tabs open on Sundays to see all the action, lol. Just a few on the most important ones.
