too late, I bought the company that owns the Dummy Corporation. I now own the dummies.

you are all so very lucky my work network wouldn't let me draft.

a sacco-analysis of the draft tells me that this isn't NGs first draft, however...

there's a handful of backs i would've taken before mcgayknee in the 2nd round. brees in the 4th was also a stretch and
calvin johnson is an overhyped rookie (fantasy-wise, since this is not a keeper league)
other than those few picks, not a bad job.

I suck at fantasy football but it doesn't cost anything :)

hyway, listen to my advice and you'll go far.
i've done like 20 fantasy leagues and even won one of them once!

ok, so I should not rank my draft list - just use yahoo's then go to work and skip out on the live draft. gotcha

McGahee is going to have an offensive line in front of him this year.

Brees is going to be a monster.

Johnson was a stretch, but he'll have a chance to make an impact in an airborne offense

Also, I picked Brees early because the autodraft thing was looking to start a run on QBs. I didn't want to get stuck with Trent Green.

Brees will put up big numbers. Doesn't mean he will win, but who cares, its fantasy football.

That's all that matters to me hyway :)

The Bills are going to suck so I don't care who wins as long as it isn't Miami or Dallas.

That's why I didn't pick Rivers and he is my most favorite NFL player. He will win, but whenever they get near the goal line it will be hand off to LaDainian for the TD.

My other team has Addai and Rudi Johnson, with QBs Kitna and McNabb. You guys are better competition!


Hopefully the Pats will score a ton and Detriot will kick a lot of field goals. Adrian Peterson should get up to speed in a couple of weeks.

And lets not forget the element of pure dumb luck.

I wish I had kept that excuse option available, but alas, I have to fall back on my original game plan .... Pure Dumb Luck

Addai and Johnson . . . how'd you manage that?

Last Friday I traded Tatum Bell and a scrub receiver for Javon Walker in my work league. Talk about trading while value is high in order to move some dead weight :)

I have Roy Williams, Larry Fitzgerald and Javon Walker with Ted Ginn riding the pine and itching to knock Marty Booker off the #2 spot.

My other league isn't too savvy - they all wanted Peyton Manning and anybody on the Dallas Cowboys.

peyton is looking good. Of course he just helped my opponent this week who has reggie wayne. grrrrr, I liked it better when he had negative points.
hyway

whodathunk brees would only have 0.70 fantasy points going into the 4th quarter? Ok, this quarter he will light it up but they will still lose

I'm doing pretty good right now with Manning and Harrison, but Sunday will be the real test. I wish Manning would stop throwing to Wayne!!!!
mildbill

I wish he would too. bastard just scored again. toejammer is racking up the points
hyway

Anyone thinking about picking up Dallas Clark? He has played good tonight.
mildbill
8:17:50 PM

still a tight end
I would rather play a reciever

The season is just beginning. There is a lot that can happen between now and the last game, so I am going to keep my trash talking to a minimum...........BUT IS WAS COOL TO SEE MY 2 PLAYERS KICK THE A$$ OF THE DUMMIES 4 PLAYERS LAST NIGHT!!!!
mildbill

you have to trash talk early just in case you never get another chance.
hyway

Ummmm, the Dummies only had two players last night Bill. But Manning sho' did whoop some ass.
nogranola

Whoops, I was looking at the total roster with the bench players. Now I feel like a dummy.
mildbill

I had to grab Dallas Clark - couldn't help it. He's better than all them other spare WRs on the free agent list.
toejam

He may pay off, if he keeps performing like he did the first game.
mildbill
6:55:11 AM
9/08/07

he only had two catches for 48 yards. does that mean fantasy leagues go on a per catch basis, rather than a total yardage basis?
crash bang
7:02:52 AM
9/08/07

I think it's 1 point for every 10 yards for receivers, and 6 for touchdowns.
mildbill

I think dallas clark is a known commodity. He will probably stay conssistent at what he did last night, maybe better. But there are unknowns that might not have been picked yet that will bust out. Problem is that they are unknown so you don't know who they are yet :)

We've got custom settings so I don't know how Clark got 4.13, partial credit I guess. The 14 yd end around worth 0.93 pts?

colts do some interesting things on offense. first time ive ever seen a tight end on an end around. but hey, whatever works (no more halfback passes by addai, please)
crash bang

was there a turnover that Dallas assisted in a tackle? Sometimes scoring is wierd because the player got points outside of his position - kicker throwing a td, offense making a tackle.

I have 4 players that I want to start in 2 positions lol. For my W/T and W/R slots I plan to start Cotchery and Brandon Jackson (GB RB) over Chris Chambers (Mia WR) and Tony Gonzolez KC (TE). Cotchery always has good games against New England (scored in each of teh last 3 games against them) so hopefully he will repeat past performance. Jackson should be the starting back so he should do fair to good). Gonzolez either goes big or doesn't do much. Houston is a game he could score in. Chris Chambers is a starting WR so he will have a chance to score, I just don't think he will.

just great. my kicker injured himself during pregame warmups and its to late to change hime for this game. Hopefully its minor and he can play.

I think I am in trouble, them Dummies are tough.
mildbill

that they are, but foster is getting a lot of play against the rams. He may eventually score
hyway
11:02:40 AM

apparently my kicker wasn't too bad. He is in the game with a fg and an extra point
hyway

My kicker -Kasey- missed a 47 yarder, I had just put him in before the start of the game, guess I should have kept Elam instead.
mildbill

geez, this may be a long fantasy season for me

Looking good going into the 4th qtr. What happened to the Raven's defense? I feared the Ravens.

I had a stupid notion that the Bengals are gonna have a good time during trash time of the game thus ruining a good showing by Baltimore. Plus I thought Denver could handle Buffalo. I shouldn't be allowed withing 10 miles of a fantasy football team.
hyway

Looks like the wildbills may come out on top.

I gotta go out of town for a week, so if any crazy trades happen to my team, it's nogranola's fault.
