QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 18, 2014 -> 05:45 PM) So they have him win the WM battle royal than break him down? That's bad business. Was that WM battle royal suppose to mean anything? I kind of looked at it like a non important time filler

I think we can all agree if Reigns wins the belt at mania, it will prolly be about 2 months before its back on Cena and Reigns disappears into mid-card oblivion..

Literally shocked Cena didnt magically win after getting destroyed all match.. well done WWE.. now the real question is, how does this title reign go? Surely he wont be defending every PPV right?

QUOTE (Tmar @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 11:34 AM) Oh great now we get to hear bears fans talk about how Holmes is best 3rd receiver in the history of the nfl, amirite tru and witesoxfan Lolol Oh you mean like you and Dez Bryant lololol amirite FOP and witesoxfan

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 12:19 PM) Someone slowed down and zoomed in on the race footage, and claims that Ward actually grabbed the wing of Stewart' car. Again, I can't tell what the heck is going on from the grainy video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAe9-JVCmek...eature=youtu.be It is hard to tell, but it sure looks like he is grabbing onto the wing..

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 15, 2014 -> 02:27 AM) Since we have like 4 threads about Rodon, I guess I'll just reiterate here.... I hope Rodon does NOT make any appearances with the Sox this season. I want him in a Sox uni no earlier than April of next year, but I PREFER he get his chance in June of next year when Super 2 passes. He should finish the year in AA, and then start next year in either AA or AAA until June. If hes ready to start, I want to see him up. Ill worry about 2020 when its 2020. Flip side of that, if they are just going to have him throw 20 innings out of the bullpen then no id rather him continue to pitch in the minors. Hes most likely already our third, if not second best starter, in the organization so he needs to be in the rotation on opening day next year if the team is serious about competing. I think they are going to spend some money in the off season, and wouldn't be shocked to see this team compete for at least a wild card.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 12, 2014 -> 03:43 PM) Uh, not really. Just asking, better to be safe than sorry

Can I personally attack someone through PM?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 10:22 PM) That was a fun throw back there and he seemed clean which is great to see. I'm always worried anytime he's on screen. Man those guys are gray as f***, and they are the youngest ones out there too thats the best part

welp nevermind, Super Cena to the rescue

oh my god, I hope Lesnar demolish all of those old guys

For comparisons sake, here is my draft strategy this year (WR heavy) against a team who took 3 RBs to start the draft.. The round in which they were taken will be noted next to the player. My team is the first listed. The mock was 12 team PPR. QB: Nick Foles (8) / Tony Romo (8) RB: Shane Vereen (4) / Demarco Murray (1) RB: Pierre Thomas (5) / Gio Bernard (2) WR: AJ Green (1) / Larry Fitgerald (4) WR: Brandon Marshall (2) / Torrey Smith (6) TE: Jordan Cameron (6) / Ladarius Green (9) FLEX: Pierre Garcon (3) / Doug Martin (3) K: Stephen Gostkowski (13) / NONE D: Philadelphia (14) / Kansas City (14) BN: Darren Sproles (7) / Terrence Williams (7) BN: Darren McFadden (9) / Frank Gore (5) BN: Khiry Robinson (10) / Russel Wilson (10) BN: Kenny Stills (11) / Justin Hunter (11) BN: Charles Clay(12) / Eric Ebron (12) They took Legerete Blount in the 13th and skipped a kicker for some reason. My thought on Philadelphia is they have a nice home match up against Jacksonville in week 1 and I like those odds. I stream defenses anyways, so that or Pittsburgh is looking pretty nice for me with the last pick of the draft. I wanted to draft Tannehill with that 12th pick, but looking at my team I need a TE replacement week 4 and I have some time to need a QB replacement so I opted to cover that now and pick up a QB down the line.

Ok guys, so its almost that time. I think im a pretty good fantasy football player, god knows I do way more research and studying than my wife would like, however I am still very interested in hearing opinions and others strategies as well. I will always end up doing what I think is best, but I do enjoy the insight and I just love talking fantasy football. With that said, Id like to open up some discussions here and get some second opinions on things. My league is having its live draft on August 20th, its a 12 man PPR league. TD passes are worth six points, there is one flex and its W/R/T. We did a draft lottery, basically we put everyones names in a hat, drew the first name and whoever it was got to pick their draft spot. My name got pulled like 4th, and I chose 12. I picked 12 for a few reasons. First and foremost, I wanted my pick of 2 elite players back to back. Secondly, it also assures me of owning the #1 waiver priority to start the season. Here is what I am thinking. I am not taking a RB at all with either of those first two picks. The cream of the crop will be long off the board and if I am certainly not going to take a risky RB over an elite WR. Currently, I am almost 100% sure Jimmy Graham is going to make it to pick 12. I plan on taking Jimmy Graham and one of Demaryius/Dez/AJ Green to kick off my first two picks. My question to you is if you knew that Graham and one of those WRs are going to be on the board at your two picks, do you take that combo?

Just finished our third season, our record so far is 6-24 We went from giving up 20+ runs a game to about 13-15 now but we are only scoring like 6 runs a game and were not going to beat anyone hitting like that. Almost hit one out today, hit the base of the fence in the air but I slipped on first base and was held to a double.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 08:46 PM) When you say "ITT", it means "In This Thread". You say it right before you sum up the stupid theme of the comments in that thread. I was mocking those insensitive people for their extremely callous comments on what should happen to a driver who leaves his vehicle. Gimme a break, bottom line is if the guy doesn't get out of his car and walk almost to the middle of an ACTIVE RACE no one is dead right now.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 7, 2014 -> 05:10 PM) What irritates me about this CLE talk is the stupid assumption that all of the best players on CLE will put up equivalent numbers to their previous seasons. If we learned nothing else from the Miami experiment, it's that somebody's going to take a big hit to their counting stats I would guess that's going to be Irving, but I don't see that as necessarily a bad thing. The main thing to remember here is that when you take LeBron James and give him two other really good players and role players he has a 100% success rate in reaching the finals. I see no reason to think its not going to happen until I actually see it happen.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 7, 2014 -> 03:39 PM) The fact that they did lose twice is kind of the point. They aren't invincible. Well, to the East they are if we want to go by that logic

Everyone said the same stuff when the Heat got together, and yet they went to 4 straight Finals and won two rings. I see no reason this will be any different, especially since this Cavs team is better than those Heat teams even when you consider the east is a little better.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 5, 2014 -> 07:48 AM) I'm fine with it being a part of the universe in a minor form, but based on people saying it can stand on it's own, within it's own universe, I'm fine with that explanation and will give it a watch when it's rentable. I'm just happy to hear it's not the usual superhero vs bad guy crap I've already seen 50 times. Ruh Roh

Way to break a story there

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 03:06 PM) They could have done better. According to who? We don't know what they were offered for him.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 03:04 PM) That is an awful haul for Tampa, just awful What are they supposed to do? They aren't going to pay him, so they pretty much either take the best offer they get or watch him leave for nothing

After feeling pretty bad that I decided not to go to Raw last night, I feel ok about it now. Wasn't that great of a Raw.
