QUOTE (farmteam @ Nov 24, 2014 -> 09:16 AM) That Beckham catch was unreal. Gotta be the best I've ever seen. I'm comfortable saying it was the best I've ever seen.

So my matchup this week in my most important league is essentially for our division (division winners get money back). It's the hybrid-dynasty league with QB allowed in FLEX and PPR. We also play 2 IDP instead of a team defense. I'm down by 6 with Drew Brees and Justin Tucker left and he has Kyle Orton and a LB left. I am going to finish with at least the 2nd highest score this week. His team I might lose to? Mark Sanchez, Jarvis Landry, Jordan Matthews, Matt Forte, Trent Richardson, Tim Wright and Kyle Orton....UGH

The horseshoe that was up ND's ass in 2012 is now firmly planted up Florida State's. Both teams are strikingly similar. I really hope FSU can get past Florida but they are going to get lit up by Oregon or Alabama in the playoff. I honestly don't think FSU is one of the top 10 teams in the country right now, let along top 4. I have a +600 futures bet on FSU winning it all from over the summer but I am absolutely hedging that if they make it to the playoffs.

For all of you Bears fan that wanted someone like Andy Reid earlier in the year, I hope this makes you realize that the grass is not always greener. He's such a horrendous game manager. He refused to let Alex Smith throw the ball until midway through the 3rd quarter and guess what happened? 2 straight scoring drives. He also didn't even let his best player touch the ball on their last drives so that was obviously a smart decision. It's so frustrating wondering how this team could play if they had someone competent calling plays for them.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 09:33 AM) Is Oakland committing to Murray? I've clinched a playoff spot but in line for a bye. I think they are, but their schedule for RBs in the fantasy playoffs is brutal.

Tevin Mack to VCU Briscoe, Labissiere (who's never gonna play a minute of college ball) and Derrick Jones announce at 6

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 13, 2014 -> 09:44 AM) Saw that score last night. Is Memphis going to be any good anyway? Still embarrassing. No ESPN 3 for SIU/SLU on Sat. I think they're going to struggle to make the tournament. Good front court but their guards are young and not a lot of depth there

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 13, 2014 -> 09:36 AM) FIFA has cleared Qatar and Russia of any wrongdoing in regards to their bids for the World Cup. Of course. And what makes it even better is that they went out of their way to criticize the England FA for the way they conducted their bid and suggested there improprieties on their part during the process FIFA is so comically corrupt, that if they were a made up organization in some film/novel/television series no one would take them seriously as a believable entity

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 10:56 AM) ESPN's are even worse. This is true

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 09:08 AM) why does yahoo! still project the Bears defense to be good for the rest of the season? Probably the same reason that some people actually take yahoo's projections seriously

I still think Ichiro has some gas in the tank and could help out a team. He was underused the past couple seasons in NY in my opinion. However, adding him to the OF mix would not be beneficial to the Sox this season since the primary goal should be to get our young guys as many ABs as possible to look to contend in 2016 and going forward. Unfortunately, although Ichiro could help the Sox in 2015, it would not help their chances beyond this season

To me, this is a classic case where it should be obvious to anyone that tampering was involved but that there most likely will be no concrete evidence to prove anything. So in the end it will all be much ado about nothing.

Thanks to Greg Olsen getting 18.9 points in a PPR league I'm going to squeak past my opponent by about a point this week. Didn't think that was going to happen when my RB's combined for about 8 points and he had the Cardinals defense

The fact that we have guys like Bassitt and Sanchez not making this list is a good thing

Random question: How is Ravelo's first name pronounced? Is it Rangel like Angel or Ranger? Or pronounced like "Ron-Hell"?

Has anyone ever been scammed on Etsy before? My fiance ordered some purses or something and the woman stopped responding and hasn't shipped them weeks after she was supposed to. Money was already paid and everything. Just wondering if anyone's been through this and knows the best course of action. It wasn't a ton of money but it was over $100 so it'd be nice to get back if possilbe

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 9, 2014 -> 08:58 PM) What's it like to not be a Bears fan? I imagine it's heaven. Being a Chiefs fan hasn't been anything special for me over the past 20 years

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 10, 2014 -> 07:15 AM) Just suspend the kid already. Man up NCAA. You don't have much time. For what? You really want the NCAA to start suspending kids with no evidence? The NCAA is f***ed up enough without giving them precedent to do more.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 10:42 AM) TMZ is on it now. how funny is it that they have actually become a legitimate source of breaking ugly sports stories TMZ's source is IBN, so take it for it's worth

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 10:51 AM) Yeah, I thought the numbers clearly show he's been much better in the second half. Ok, then yes. I didn't get what you were doing. His first half numbers don't appear to be that bad when you see them like that, but in reality he has been pretty average at best in the first half of most games this season.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 10:13 AM) 1st half: 64.7 CMP %, 7.84 YPA, 7 TD, 6 INT, 138.7 Rating 2nd half: 69.9 CMP%, 9.86 YPA, 9 TD, 3 INT, 172.0 Rating He's been bad in the first half of several games this year. Putting up those numbers doesn't change that fact if you'd seen any of the games.

Chiefs are "hosting" the Lions in London next year. That sucks. Giving up one of the league's best home field advantages to go over there. Other games are Bills/Jaguars and Dolphins/Jets

Peyton Manning wasn't very good in his first couple years either. All QB's don't become great overnight. In a lost season for TB, I think Glennon has shown enough to deserve to play out the year and see how he looks. He has one of the worst lines and running games helping him out right now so it's not like he's in an ideal situation there.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 07:40 AM) 2 QB, 1/2 PPR team I am uneasy about QB Big Ben QB Mike Vick RB Le'veon Bell RB Eddie Lacy WR Calvin Johnson WR Dez Bryant TE Julius Thomas FLEX I am leaning towards Denard Robinson (vs. DAL) in my FLEX but I am skeptical. I also have Lamar Miller (@ DET), Odell Beckham Jr. (@ SEA) and Charles Sims who hasn't quite taken over yet. I have Brady, Rivers, LaFell and Andre Johnson all on byes and I really need to win this week. Stick with Robinson? I would. Miller might be dealing with some nagging injuries and Detroit is tough against the run. Beckham is promising but has a horrible matchup and Sims has zero NFL carries. So I'd roll with Robinson.

QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 01:57 PM) What a jerk. A) admit use in exchange for immunity. B) Sue your supplier and deny usage. C) Pay off people who could bury you. I hope MLB bans him for life and that the HOF does as well. For what? They already did suspend him. He served it and is now clear to play again.
