Once again, the 2 options 1) Tag nate, develop young rookies. Let nate go next year 2) Dont tag nate. Start an inexperienced rookie. Let nate leave this year. That about sums it up. Easy decision if you ask me.

If you have a magazine where he is rated below curtis martin, dont walk, run to the trash can and discard that peice of trash. You're fantasy team will thank you for it.

You people are kiling me. TAKE A LOOK AT OUR CAP SITUATION. We are WAY WAY UNDER THE CAP!!! We cut posey, which gives us EVEN MORE room. Not tagging clements would not resulted in any improvement on the online other than what we currently have on the team. The money was there. We chose not to use it on what was available.

McGahee was a stud in 2004 and rushed for 1100 yards. McGahee ran for over 1200 yards in 2005 and was a bust. Whats the difference? Willis scored 13 TDs in 2004 and 5 in 2005. So, the question to be addreessed is this. -Why did willis only score 5 TDs in 2005, and 13 in 2004? Which year was the normal year and which year was the abberation? The O-Line CANT be worse this year. It just cant be. Mularkey is gone. Willis is lighter and faster. All things running in his favor. In a 14 team league, unless you have some crazy scoring rules, McGahee should be a 1st round pick.

Nor would I...but I would feel really good about picking up Ron Dayne or Tatum Bell in the 7th or 8th round.

I'd hit it. With a baseball bat

Oh, man...i thought that was going to be the pixi guy

Baskett could be a very good UDFA. I also look forward to seeing him tonight.

Not sure I understand your comment, but we start QB,RB,RB,WR,WR,WR,TE,W/T,R/W,PK,DEF.

This year there is an interchangable top 3. LT, LJ, SA. Then #4 is clearly Portis Then a bunch of guys from there out. #5 is a tough position IMO. If portis is there take him. If not...your guess is as good as mine. HOWEVER Manning is the incorrect pick at #5. In a 14 team league RBs are even more important. 28 RBs will start every week in your league. Once by weeks start kicking in, EVERY RUNNING BACK STARTING IN AN NFL GAME WILL BE PLAYING IN YOUR LEAGUE. There will be no spares. This includes Tennesse, Jets, 49ers and other teams where the starting job is still in the air. Someone will be thrilled having Barlow or Chris Brown starting. Someone will be thrilled their opponenet is forced to start Greg Jones because they have no other RB. You HAVE to get 2 startgin RBs, or you will be in deep sh--. Really you need 3. You cant risk taking manning then waiting and getting a couple guys later.

AHL Fight. I think this one is hillarious

I did a 10 team online auction this year. My roster as follows: QB Plummer QB E. Manning RB Barber RB Bush RB McCallister RB McGahee RB Droughns RB Dunn WR Ward WR D. Jackson WR D. Driver WR K. McCardell WR D. Bennett WR J. Jerivicious TE A. Crumpler TE Winslow DEF Cin PK Elam Also had Westbrook, but I traded him for Hines Ward...I didnt mean to, I hit the wrong button, but I needed to trade a RB for a top WR. Took a couple of weeks. Basically a message board. Every team always had 2 guys nominated (so there was 20 guys "alive" at all times". Once nobody bid on a player for 24 hours, the bid was closed and another player was nominated. Worked out well. One guy wound up with both LT and LJ. I am interested to see how that works out for him. But thats what is cool about auction drafts. you CAN blow your whole budget on LT and LJ. No way that happens in a redraft league.

While I think it CAN work, the problem is when. Nobody wants to watch football in the spring. Summer is too hot. The only other time is during the NFL season. You cant play sunday (obviously), and Saturday is also out. Basically needs to be during the week, which kills. Ya gotta wonder how Arena football can survive, even AFL2 can survive, yet a "minor league" football league has yet to. Possibly need to market it as a sort of "developmental" league. Need to put teams in tier2 markets without a team. I.E. Oklahoma City, Portland Oregon, Norfolk Virginia, Las Vegas, Heck, Los Angeles, Raleigh NC, Trenton NJ, Columbus OH etc. If done RIGHT (and im not sure what right is...) it can succede.

Gotta go with: -Michael Clayton, TB -Matt Jones, JAX -Chad Jackson, NE -Nate Burleson, SEA And I dont know if they classify as sleepers or not, since they are #1s, but are often forgot about -Donald Driver -Drew Bennett -Keenan McCardell And I wouldnt cout out Eric Moulds with Andre Johnson opposite him

Seriously though...Quinn might be available in the top 5, depending on who picks up there. San Fran: Alex Smith Tennessee: Vince Young New Orleans: Drew Brees Houston: David Carr (possible?) Green Bay: Aaron Rodgers Really, the Jets, Detroit and Maybe Cleveland, Green Bay or Oakland are the only 5 teams I an realistically see needing a QB and possibly drafting in front of us. This of course assumes we NEED a QB...which I am not sure is even the case

I agree...SF is just too bad

My 21 is bigger than your 21.

I am sorry it took me so long to see this post. This is a rather interesting situation. I am not an attorney, real estate agent or anything of the like, but I have been around the block several times with mortgage companies. I am suprised to hear you are having so much trouble with citibank mortgage. Though I have to say the most important part of buying a home is the people you surround yourself with. Build your own network, not be a pawn in a network already in place. What I mean by this is ask around. Find an agent you can trust, and then DONT use the mortgage company reccomended by the agent. Find your OWN home inspector. Find your OWN settelment agent (lawyer). Build the network around YOU. I dont know if thats what you did or not, but its really irrelavant at this point. Just something to think about going forward. You already indicated you have an attorney. What is he/she doing to help this problem out? What are they saying? If they are sitting by passivly waiting for the paperwork to fall out of the air so you can sign it and dutifully pay their fees, kiss their a$$ goodbye. A settlement agency can do that. You are not paying for a settlement agent, you are paying for an attorney. At this point your attorney should be advising you of your options. A good attorney should be giving you advice on how to handle the situation, the legalities of the buyer backing out based on the wording of the contract, and be protecting your interests (i.e. ensuring you GET the house). Most standard contracts I have seen state that you must close within X days of the settlement date on the contract. Usually this is 30 days. After 30 days, from he agreed settlement date, the seller has the right to back out of the deal. Read your contract carefully though. The ones I have seen in virginia state that the seller must give the buyer "reasonable time" for loan processing. If your states something similar, you may be in business. Here's how... IF the seller tries to back out of your contract, presumably they are fed up with the time dillemma and need to get the house sold. If your contract states "reasonable time for loan processing", simply have your lawyer write a letter stating your intent to dispute. Until the dispute is resoved, any other potential buyer will be unable to obtain financing due to pending litigation on the property. No lender will accept that risk. Make this clear in the letter your attorney writes. Unless the seller really wants to play hardball and see if you are for real in your litigation, they really have no choice but to wait out your loan processing. Its amazing what lawyer letterhead can do. In case you feel bad about the buyers situation, dont. Its not your fault. And remember this. The SELLER selected the mortgage company just as much as you did. I dont think many reasonable people would reject citibank mortgage as a lender, but if I was selling a house, I would need to be desparate to accept an offer from eloan, lending tree or other brokers I know do not perform adequate service to their customers. The problem is not you. The problem is citibank. And, while I am thinking about it, what is your agent doing? Your agent should be all over this situation. Besides you, they are the ones with the biggest stake here. They should be helping you drive to the hoop. Passively "remind" them your "brother" might be buying a house in the next year, or simply ask for a few business cards. Remind them they have a stake not only in your house, but the possibility they have of building a network. Boldly refute any claim that this would not have happened if you chose THEIR lender. Again, I cant stress enough. READ your contract. (of course, your lawyer should do the same). Are you required to notify the seller of your loan progress? If so, make sure you do. Good luck to you.

You agree to a deal with a #1 before the draft....typically.

I think he can only be offered 4 years.... Maybe if 3 more people say so, it will be true

I wouldnt go so far as to say these shows are serious news. However, I believe (the intro at least) is amung the most objective news out there. The fact that they make a complete mockery out of real news makes it more the real story than anything on at CNN. Once they get to the interviews, their bias shows (especially Stewart), but thats okay. I dont have a problem with ANYONE on CNN, NBC, CBS, FOX whoever who shows an opinion. Just make it known its your opinion and then I will choose to watch accordingly. Just dont try to twist stories to fit your point of view. By exploiting how these networks twist stories, Stewart and Colbert untie the knots and make the news more objective. Just my .02

And thats differnt than a Barbara Walters interview, or 60 minutes interview how?

Because then you still dont have 2 RBs, you still have to go out and grab a bunch of "possible starters" later on, and you dont have 2 good WRs. If you are going to go for finding RBs later in the draft (round 3 on...) might as well go balls to the wall and pick up a ton of the other guys and get 2 good WRs 1st round.

Oh, come on people! You guys kill me. a) He said it, he meant to say it, while I wouldnt be suprised to know that editing occurs on these sketches frequently, the cocaine is fun part WAS NOT EDITED (source: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/07/24/...litics_1830819) b) Who cares! I am as conservative as they get, and I dont like wexlers politics much. But seriously, WHO CARES. The guy isnt saying he did cocaine today, or even 20 years ago (and even if he did... again, who cares). It was a joke, it was funny, it was apparently NOT edited. End of story. Some of you guys make this WAY more serious than it is.

Yes, yes and YES. Reason: Most leagues start 2 RBs. If you have a 12 team league, that is 24 RBs. There are only 32 teams in the NFL. That means there are only 8 starting Running backs in the league that will not start for one of the fantasy football teams in your league. Now consider, Green Bay has Green/Gado/Whoeverelse. Dont want to touch them Tennesse: Henry/Jones/White San Fran:Gore/Barlow New Orleans:Bush/McCallister Detroit: Kevin Jones=Scary Dallas: Julius Jones/Barber III Minnesota: Really going with Chester Taylor? Baltimore: Jamal Lewis? Or Mike Anderson? Denver: Bell or Dayne? Jacksonville: Fred Taylor = Scary. Indianapolis: Addai or Rhodes Jets: Can Martin Stay healthy? New England: Can Dillon Stay Healthy? Pittsburgh: Haynes or Parker? So, thats 14 teams that have questionable starters. Leaving 18 sure thing starters. Not getting 2 RBs early ensures you will be stuck trying to make due with Ron Dayne or Willie Parker as your other RB, and hoping to get lucky. RB/RB/RB. The only other option this year....contrary to what I just told you. You MIGHT be able to go WR/WR/RB/RB/RB if you are late in the first round. If you can get CJ and Steve Smith and then follow up with 5-6 guys on the above list later in the draft, you might be okay.
