I wouldn't mind .5 in a PPR situation. PPC I'm unsure on.

No Favre and Edwards failed his first physical.

Supes' team is off to a great start!

Oh yeah. Just make a post here if you make any changes for injuries or say fluke retirements. *Cough*. (Cut Favre/Avery for Jason campbell/Nate washington.)

Why do you want posts in here?  They're on the league page too.  I guess if non-participants care it matters?

Anyway, on the fluke retirement front(sorta), cut Clayton a while ago for Derrick Mason when he decided to come back.  And if Crabtree doesn't get his head out of his ass soon I'll have to fix that problem too.  *sigh*


Oh, and a quick note to Trips, Monkey, and Ciato, your starting lineups have to be set manually.  You would probably see it on your own eventually but just in case figured I'd mention it.

since I never check the league. <_<

I'd cut bait on Crabtree. He's not going to be a fantasy factor this season. Every report I've read has him holding out till labor day.

Edit: Cut Trent Edwards for Kevin Walter. The Bills offensive line looks really awful. I dont' think Edwards is going to last long this season.

Monkey still needs to set his roster, someone that can hit him up on AIM or something might want to remind him.

Quick question: I put in a wavier claim. How do I get it to go through/what needs to be done?

This is how I think it works, from reading the rather poorly-written Yahoo help file (which talks about it in the context of cutting players): When you make a waiver claim, you then wait two days. If nobody with a higher waiver number than you has claimed that player at the end of two days, he's yours. When you're awarded the player, you're also bumped to the bottom of the list for waiver claims.

*Nods* Cool, thanks. This week I get... Trips.

Hopefully Cutler will keep throwing picks! TDs are bad, Jay. Bad I say!

Two questions.  How did I manage to pick an entire starting lineup that got outscored by Drew Brees, and how did Cutler count for positive points at all for that game, let alone more than anyone on my team besides Brees? <_<

Interceptions are only -1. His TD and INT offsets each other there, and he threw for a fair chunk of yardage.

I'm not asking seriously, I'm bitching like the sad loser I am. :P  Though seriously, only -1 for an INT?  That's pretty soft.  Eh.  My whole team can't STAY that bad, right?  ...right?

If we run this next year, I'm going to want to tinker with the scoring some. Dislike how standard scoring overinflates TDs, though PPR helps with that.  -2 for INTs is cool as well.

Olsen will have better games. The Packers set Charles Woodson on him most of the time last week, and he won't be up against an all pro level CB every week.  Beyond that, welp. Derrick Ward is available for trade!

Totalling up the points from my bench, I see that if I'd started Romo and Addai, I'd have easily had the second-most points in the league...and gotten destroyed by Team Super anyway. Adrian Peterson is a scary motherfucker.

Hi Scar!

You are a ho for taking Flacco. Time to grab Pennington and hope for the best.

Set your lineups for tomorrow.

Monkey- Tomlinson's out. Ultradude: Antonio Bryant is out as well, remove both from your lineups.

Edit: Going with the comedy 'start Favre' option myself. What could go wrong?

Edit: Speaking of that, Welker inactive. The unvierse hates Trips.

Make sure you set lineups and don't forget to bench players on byes. Etc.

The league needs more activity. Respond to my trash talking!

Bye the way, last week I went 4-0 in my fantasy football leagues!

*poses*

Also, I need Portis, Gore, Winslow and Mcgahee to complete my Miami U masterpiece!

Trade me motherfuckers!
