Re: 2006 Fantasy Football

Re: 2006 Fantasy Football
Homo? True my team is going to bend your team over and give it to you real good like, but it ain’t gonna be like that, and we ain’t gonna be cooking you no breakfast but you is gonna be my bitch.
Re: 2006 Fantasy Football

Re: 2006 Fantasy Football
hey, i wasn't there at the live draft... [Team Outclass]
who picked my team? just asking cuz i have an average team... i was expecting worse...
can anyone fill me up on this
Re: 2006 Fantasy Football
mr genious…before the draft you could have ranked your players..and computer would have picked them for you…so i am not sure if you did that part…it doesnt matter cuz i am gonna win this thing anyway 
Re: 2006 Fantasy Football
i actually forgot to rank 'em
i was just puzzled how i got Marvin Harrison and S. Alexander ... they certainly were not the leftovers..
Re: 2006 Fantasy Football
I ranked my guys and let autopick do the drafting. I think my first four picks were awesome:
Tomlinson, L (RB)
Holt, T (WR)
Gates, A (TE)
Collins, K (QB)
I'm not thrilled with D. Staley at number 5 but picked up Baltimore with my 6th pick.
Right Wing Stooges are again the pre-season favorite to go all the way!!!!
Re: 2006 Fantasy Football
MV, you son of gun.... you were picking before me and every player I wanted after the first round you grabbed him before me....agggggggghhhhhh
Re: 2006 Fantasy Football
mrG...yahoo has a default ranking of players..so if you didnt change the rankings or u werent present during draft, yahoo picks the player on ur behalf from the default rankings..
mv..ur team is so-so..ur QB sucks..rest are good..u would need a big sleeper in ur picks to make it though..
i mean honestly, i have the most balanced team..i like my chances..
Re: 2006 Fantasy Football
oh ok .. thanks !
my team is very so so man...
FAVRE is not that bad..... i m actually looking forward to cheer for him... i know it doesn't help my team too much.. but still its nice to have some fav players on the team..
wats the name of ur team...
p.s. Can we make a list of team-names associating with the screen names.. it will help understand the discussions here.. thanks
Re: 2006 Fantasy Football
Lussi:
You been sleeping or in hibernation since the Super Bowl? Oakland picked up Moss (RANDY not Santana) and will have an awesome air attack this year. Collins will post BIG numbers this year and I figured right that I could get him later in the draft which allowed me to focus on the other positions. I've got the #1 RB, the #1 TE and the #2 WR in Fantasy Football.
What's with Kevin Jones with your 2nd Pick??? Especially when you already had Priest Holmes. You got big trouble at WR. Your "balance" translates to me as "mediocrity."
Re: 2006 Fantasy Football
lussi
when we pick up the players..why does it take so long to become official? can u make it faster? these players were picked from the waiver but i won't know until tomorrow and i picked them like 2 days ago.
Re: 2006 Fantasy Football
Sheraz:
After the Draft and after every week, there is a period called the "waiver" period. If you look on the League homepage, you will see every teams waiver position. Every team gets to put in a waiver claim and if more than one team picks the same player, the team with the highest waiver position gets him. After the waiver period ends, all remaining players become "Free agents." When sopmeone becomes a free agent, you can pick him up immediately on a first come first served basis.
The first set of waiver claims ends tomorrow. All released players will be deemed on waivers for another couple of days but all unclaimed players will be deemed free agents.
Re: 2006 Fantasy Football
It would be interesting to see that Titans do this year. You know who Norm Chow is? He was the national championship winning USC’s offensive co-ordinator.
Re: 2006 Fantasy Football
^ I live and breath Titans paijaan. Of course I know who Norm Chow is...that is why I said that they will be throwing the ball more often. His offense relies on short quick passess with a sprinkle of run when spread option is used. This combination will open up the deep ball because the corners will creep up to stop short passes.... Yes it will be very interesting, not to mention that McNair looks like a billion bucks after the sternum surgery and new off season shape and strength program. All of these new wannabe qurterbacks ala McNab and Vick should pay hommage to the master i.e McNair.
Re: 2006 Fantasy Football
^ thats called West Coast Offense. Pioneered and mastered by Bill Walsh @ Stanford who then took it to 49ers in 80s, later adopted by Cowboys and then Packers in 90s. And now a lot of teams use this scheme and it works if you got a hot QB.
Re: 2006 Fantasy Football
Kaleem. Whether you are right or wrong about McNair having a big year is beside the point. Manning, McNab and Culpepper went 1, 2 and 6 in the Draft. The next three QBs (Green, Favre and Brady) went 29, 31 and 36. You easily could have predicted still being able to get McNair in the 4rth or 5th round.
Instead of McNair, S. Jackson, A. Johnson and D. Bennet you could have had
McNair, P. Holmes, T. Holt and (T. Owens, J. Walker, J. Horn or a bunch of other darn good receivers [pick one]). No one would have taken McNair before you in Round 4. Even if you took him in the 3rd round, you'd still have Holmes and Holt.
You really did waste your 1st round pick and put yourself one round behind everybody else in getting RBs and WRs.
It's just my humble opinion. Anyway, thanks. :D
Re: 2006 Fantasy Football
Ahem…correction my friend. This famous west coast offense was actually devised in Ohio…
Brown also never has been given full credit for breaking the color barrier in modern pro sports when he signed two eventual Hall of Fame players, fullback Marion Motley](http://www.profootballhof.com/hof/member.jsp?PLAYER_ID=156) and lineman *Bill Willis](http://www.profootballhof.com/hof/member.jsp?PLAYER_ID=231), in 1946, a year before Jackie Robinson’s debut in major league baseball.*
“Whether they know it or not, nearly everyone in football has been affected by Paul Brown,” former NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle](http://www.profootballhof.com/hof/member.jsp?PLAYER_ID=185) once said. “His wealth of ideas changed the game.”
A good example is the so-called West Coast offense that has dominated the NFL for the past couple of decades. That moniker is a misnomer. It should be called the Ohio Offense because it is basically the same one that Brown designed and used when he coached the Browns and Bengals. Hall of Famer Otto Graham](http://www.profootballhof.com/hof/member.jsp?PLAYER_ID=77) used it to win seven league championships.
Brown brought it to Cincinnati and taught it to *Bill Walsh](http://www.profootballhof.com/hof/member.jsp?PLAYER_ID=224), one of his assistant coaches, who used the offense to win three Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49ers and was wrongly credited, as he later admitted, for its origin.*
“I learned it from Paul Brown,” Walsh wrote in a book a few years ago.
http://www.profootballhof.com/history/release.jsp?release_id=732
I do know about the west coast offense, and may I remind you that McNair is basically one year removed from his MVP season…dare I say hot.
MV, I dont give a rat’s ass about wannabes McNab and Culpepper. They get all the limelight because they play in media friendly place i.e east coast. Being a texas native, you are well aware of this bias…are’nt you (SI’s cover of NBA Finals…remember?). McNair has never run out of gas in the most important game of his life ala Mcnab in SB, neither did he puke in an AFC championship game …again like McNab. Culpepper, oh yeah big arm, big body but sadly nothing between the years.
I know you can talk the talk, we will see who ends up walking the walk.
