Wow. Someone would take McCown for Gronk?

I messed up on waivers today. I was going to cut Jamal Charles and get West (his back-up). I figured if I could get him, I'd be able to get Riddick or Vareen. Well, people ahead of me on waivers got West and Vareen. And since I didn't try to claim Riddick, someone else picked him up, too. I guess I'll have to try to trade one of my WRs to get a RB.

[Tom Foolery]

Nah, he didn't bite.
I also tried for Charcandrick West, but somebody else snagged him.
I wasn't too worried because I've got a decent RB roster.
I just need a better WR corps. Edelman consistently puts up decent numbers for me, but everyone else is a dice roll every week. I just need one more strong consistent WR and I'll be happy.
Jimmy Graham has a been a huge disappointment tight end.
My D/ST is on Bye this week so I had to pick from the leftovers. It came down to Chicago (vs the Lions) and Miami (vs the Titans).
I picked Miami. 1. I don't trust the Bears that much. 2. I couldn't go against the Lions two weeks ina row. And 3. I think Miami has a decent chance against Marcus Mariota. Tennessee isn't that great of a team.

But we'll see. Me and my opponent this week are both 4-1. But my team is mostly Pats and they're headed to Indianapolis where historically they trounce every time.

Soon, you foosball fans might have the Los Angeles Chargers, Los Angeles Raiders, and possibly Los Angeles Rams.

Thoughts?

[Tom Foolery]

Well the Rams were originally in LA, then went to St Louis, when the Cardinals left for Phoenix. And the Raiders went from Oakland to LA and back to Oakland. From what I understand of the situation, the fan market for those teams is already primarily LA, despite the teams current locations. And all 3 teams filed for location change because the other two did and the third team didn't want to lose out.


The NFL has been chewing on an expansion for awhile. If one of those teams moves back to LA, the city that loses could end up with a new franchise anyway.

[Tom Foolery]

Wow, EJ Manuel. Welcome back.

You suck. 2 TDs in 60 seconds...for the other guys.

EDIT. That ended up being an exciting game.

[Ran]

I really want EJ Manuel to do well. But, he does suck.

[Tom Foolery]

How crazy is it that FIVE teams are still undefeated seven weeks into the season?

Denver will fall off the list next week.

[Ran]

Fun Fact: EJ Manuel is the first the first NFL starting QB to lose games in 3 countries (U.S., Canada, and the UK). The NFL might go back to Mexico City some day. Hopefully the Bills get rid of him and he signs with a team that plays there.

[Tom Foolery]

Ha. So me and my opponent this week were dead even in projected points, 96 apiece going into week 8.
After tonight, I've already racked up 84 points thanks to my NE foursome of Brady, Edelman, Lewis, and Gostkowski.
And Marshawn Lynch still gets to tear thru Dallas' defense on Sunday.

[Tom Foolery]

Jim Bob Cooter is the most redneck name ever.
Unless he could wedge a Joe in there somewhere.

[jjreason]

[Tom Foolery]

Cooter totally changed up the Lion's offense. The last guy, Joe Lombardi, would have the offensive line pick their noses while the other team would plow past them and sack Stafford.
Cooter is gonna have the offensive line stare up at the clouds and pick out animals while the other team plows by and sacks Stafford instead.
We'll see if that helps.

Oh. It doesn't seem to be making a difference.

[Slicker]

Yeah, I watched part of that game while at the gym and came back to my shop to watch it. I left at the half. Stafford throws so many picks because he's trying to make something happen instead of taking a fucking sack every damn play. How can a 4 man rush consistently overwhelm a 7 man line?

[Tom Foolery]

Whoa. Who saw that coming? The Lions beating GB at home? AT HOME?? Holy shit.

My team is deteriorating. I lost Dion Lewis last week and Edelman broke his foot this week. And since I'm alone at the top of my league 9-1 I'm last on the Waivers list every damn week. So I get shit to choose from to replenish my team.

I'll probably make it to my leagues playoffs and get a gigantic beatdown because I'll be playing shitty shots in the dark like Ted Ginn and Cole Beasley.

[Tom Foolery]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME WITH THAT BULLSHIT.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.
