AJ Styles and Kevin Owens are your two main champions...f'n amazing.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 12:09 AM) I check in with it here and there. Love AJ Styles. Actually am very fond of what The Miz is doing. My problem is with everything else . Sure Uso's got a much needed change of personality, but that deed won't make me happy about a tag title tournament that features the dull Uso's vs. 50 year old Rhyno + slater makeshift tag team. I'm interested in Bayley kicking ass on Raw, the Kevin Owens show, HHH vs. Rollins/Reigns (without the title being in the picture), the tag title between new day and AJ's friends. Raw just seems to be killing it. Just gotta watch SD, my friend. It doesn't sound or seem very exciting but it's been a very good show every week. And watch Talking Smack, it might just be the best show under the WWE umbrella and that's including NXT and The CWC.

That fight was a f***in circus. Wow.

Knew it would happen but was hoping it wouldn't. He won't be back in the UFC, maybe he tries fighting again but after that he has no drawing power. I was semi joking about it with Brian but my odd prediction of the day is that he's headlining a NJPW ppv with Daniel Bryan in a few years. Anywho, this isn't a wrestling thread so sorry about that...this Werdum-Browne fight has been bizarre.

Of course you don't like the card, you admitted you don't watch Smackdown. I'm not going to pretend to be pumped for this ppv but SD has been really good outside of the first episode so I'm sure they'll put on a good show.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 08:23 PM) Whoever has him like myself... Rob Gronkowski out for season opener. I'm over this season already.

I'm off to a great start as I decided to not play Kelvin Benjamin last night!

Anderson could have had 0 Minor League at bats and eventually would have been a fine MLB player and Beckham could have had 20,000 Minor League at bats and he still would have never been a Major League starter. Just two different people, that's why I always hate comparing these guys.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 08:19 PM) Yes he was. But was re-signed.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 10:16 AM) Had a wedding I was in on Saturday, Baltimore Comic Con on Sunday, did chores on Monday - then I had someone call the cops on me for Gardening While Black (the cops asked me about a 5'10" black male wearing a blue shirt and blue shorts carrying a "butcher knife" (my gardening spade) walking around my neighborhood. So that was fun. That's some bulls*** man. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Me and some buddies combine to do a pretty high money survivor pool every year. We have to pick 2 teams a week. Seattle is our lock, the 2nd one is being debated like crazy. I'm leaning GB but not confident in that at all. Any thoughts?

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 09:58 AM) Sadly, no. Damn. Ya, that's one where at least for me, I'd be guaranteed to bench the wrong guy every week.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 09:54 AM) Two very different roster decisions in two leagues - both are 12 team leagues, neither are PPR: The first is my main league. It's a keeper league with rampant trading. I kept Watkins, Cooper, and Bell and lucked into Antonio Brown. Because of the keeper league, RBs were very sparse. I have Deangelo Williams, so I'm covered through Bell's suspension, but my options for the 2nd RB spot are: Forsett Yeldon Duke Johnson I'm leaning toward Forsett because he's probably the starter there - at least until Dixon gets back. Duke Johnson has less value since it's not a PPR league. I don't have any idea as to how the Jags backfield shakes out, but sounds like Ivory is going to get the first crack at carries. Not feeling great about the RB situation there though. The second league, I have to pick two to start out of: Lamar Miller David Johnson Deangelo Williams I kind of feel like this one is a close your eyes and pick 2 type of decision... No flex spot in the 2nd league?

Had my 12 team .5 ppr league draft last night. It's a tiered keeper league where you have to keep 4 guys. My keepers were Gronk, Brees, Odell and Jordy. I ended up getting the 5th pick and since it's a keeper there were just no rb's worth grabbing early so I basically just said f*** it: Brees Langford Abdullah Beckham jr Jordy Gronk Amari Cooper Crosby Defense will be by committee but going Eagles this week Meh. EDIT: And illinlaw's post reminded me that I did nab Deangelo Williams so he'll be starting for me until Bell comes back.

I'm not doubting DA as I know he's just posting what he was told but I'll believe it when I see it.

I'm trying to nab Henry in all my leagues as a back up/guy I can stash on my bench for later in the year. Missed on him by 1 pick in my main league and I wasn't happy about it. I think he'll be damn good and valuable a little later in the season.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 02:29 PM) Maybe they learned their lesson they can really totally shop at Walmart. I just don't understand how anyone can think these guys could be better at projecting minor leaguers than major leaguers. That's harder for anyone. If you think the guys they want to throw millions at can't play, why would guys they get for Sale or Quintana be able to play? Why wouldn't they be Avi or Leury Garcia? Or Jon Adkins, the guy they got for Ray Durham, or Matt Davidson? It's not like they have struck it rich when they did trade for prospects. As I've said before, I have no clue if they're going to do a rebuild right, no idea if they'll bring in the right prospects to do this correctly. I do however know that they can't put together a roster around Sale and Quintana to make the playoffs. 5 years is a lot of freaking time to have gotten that right, they haven't done that and I'll absolutely be pissed off if they go about it in the same way for year 6 because hey, maybe they'll get lucky.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 11:59 AM) Because when you have Sale and Quintana, there is always a chance you might hit on someone and you still have Sale and Quintana. Trading them could result in the Jesus Monteros, Logan Morrisons of the world. You, and the rest of us would be even more unhappy then. If you don't think these dopes can project players with MLB experience, it is kind of crazy to think they would be good at doing something even harder. Projecting players with no MLB experience. Although I once worked at a place that if you really wanted a promotion, failing at your job was the quickest path. They even once laid a woman off and found her a better paying job. So you are in the stick to the plan and maybe year 6 with these two will be the year boat? I just don't get how anybody could possibly want to keep doing this.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Sep 6, 2016 -> 11:09 AM) and unfortunately the show later was the opposite of fantastic... There was like a 40 minute span that might have been the worst 40 minutes in the history of television.

Some people definitely had an odd attachment to Robbie. I got nothing against the guy but it was weird to me to see how many people were actually outraged about the releasing of a kicker.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Sep 5, 2016 -> 11:39 PM) Nah, nobody in our league proposes their best offer first. They start off hoping the other guy is clueless, then they counter back and forth until they find a middle. So your counter offer back is going to be your 3rd or 6th round pick for a top 10 overall guy? I don't even get the logic here.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Sep 5, 2016 -> 11:26 PM) Here is my team. I am laughable at RB, but I think everything else is solid. Currently have a trade offer out of Allen Hurns for RB David Johnson. Don't expect him to accept, but plan on countering with Eric Decker or Keenan Allen if/when he rejects it. Do the people in your league not get mad when you propose ridiculous stuff?

That opening 20 minutes was just fantastic from everyone.
