Fantasy Football - How much effort?

BlueCuracao — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:45:55 GMT

If you play FF, how much time/effort do you put into it each week?

I spend a pretty good amount of time on it. Between Monday and Tuesday I probably spend an hour considering any pickups or trades for the week. Between Tuesday and Friday I spend anywhere from 1-2 hours reading analysis and setting my lineup. Sunday morning I get up early to watch all the pregame shows and make adjustments to my lineup..

Wow it sounds like I no life! Hey there's a lot of money on the line here..

Go Syracuse!

I love it when Carolina loses.

I am certain you and I are kindred spirits. I heart, heart, heart Eddie Mac. He is such a classy man and truly one of a kind. He was the last of the truly good and inspiring Broncos. ***sigh**

Long live 87!!!

Has BALLS.

“You know, we don’t need the university as much as they need us — as much as they need him and his connections and reputation and everything. If they want to pull that trick, we’ll just shake the dirt off our feet and go to Europe or go on a long cruise or something.

“They’ll have to fire him for him not to go another year … If they’ve got guts enough to do it, let them do it.”

I hate Thursday night football games

kbs0929 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:55:34 GMT

mainly because we have cable and I we don't get the games. AND because I always forget to check my fantasy team because it's not Sunday! ugh. anyone else??

I wish the Gators had a version of this t-shirt

Is it too early for an O-H

*Woogie* — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:39:34 GMT

hmmm?

Haha awesome FF trade for me

BlueCuracao — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:39:14 GMT

My FF opponent this week proposed a trade. He would give me Vincent Jackson for Steve Slaton.

Uh, what the hell is he thinking? Slaton isn't even the starter in Houston... I have great depth at RB, so of course I took it. Jackson is a top 5-10 WR! Slaton is nowhere near top 10 RB and has been sitting on my bench for a few weeks now because of his fumbleitis.

Ok now that I accepted his trade and basically called my opponent an idiot, just watch this one bite me in the ass on Sunday!

Did you see this?

Thierry Henry handball advances France to World Cup. Thoughts?

Any else one find it disturbing......

aurora123179 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:36:18 GMT

That coverage for college basketball just started and they are already discussing who they are picking for the top 4 slots in each region for the big dance? Would it seriously be too much to ask to wait for conference play to start?

Post season talk early in ANY sport's season just drives me nuts!

Is it just me, or does the JD sausage guy look like Pete Carroll's twin?

Shanahan talk in Buffalo!!!

Looks like someone finally switched Ralph's medication...now all of a sudden he is willing to spend money and give a top notch coach full control.

NCAA basketball

mrybrwn9 — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:34:57 GMT

It's begun!!! Anyone around here love college basketball? I happen to live in the middle of Tobacco Road in ACC country so it is a big deal here. Especially since our football teams suck.

Wow, dead board today

ND1204 — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:07:38 GMT

I just finished up all my work, and I can't leave for another hour. There's nothing here to catch up on! I'm bored! :(

Bud Adams fined $250k

ND1204 — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:09:42 GMT

...for flipping off the Bills fans after the Titans win on Sunday. Personally, I think his actions were inappropriate, but if I was a Bills fan I might be more pissed. $250k fine, though? I think they're making an example of him.

I need a new RB (FF)

chaoticmum — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:39:59 GMT

I have Michael Turner, and he's probably out this weekend with an ankle sprain. Someone already picked up Jason Snelling in our league and assuming all of the other "hot" RBs are picked, who the heck should I pick up? If you have any suggestions, feel free to throw me some names! Thanks, gals!

KU's Mangino

JusLyn678 — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:47:36 GMT

There is some drama brewing in Lawrence, KS (Kansas U.). There are allegations towards Coach Mangino. There are talks of him being fired. There is some petition going around that the defensive coordinator should coach the team when they play Mizzou. Weird stuff. They are not releasing many details so that's about all I have at this point.

Heh...Frank Gore FF

lauralizabee — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:03:38 GMT

We do espn FF, and I just clicked on the little message next to Gore. I had a chuckle when I saw it said "Frank Gore (eyelid!!!!) rushed 25 times..." yadda yadda.

I know he got poked in the eye, and I'm sure that hurts quite a lot, but when others say things like ankle, knee, neck, back, etc. it makes eyelid just completely hilarious to me!

Well color me stunned

chaoticmum — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:28:36 GMT

Last week, the Packers lose to a winless team that should have been a cakewalk to beat.

This week, I have no hope for them to beat the dreaded Cowboys, and they do it in a shutout.

What in the H is going on with this team? They are toying with my emotions.

ETA: Ok, so it's not a shutout anymore. But we still won, and I was not expecting that.

Bills fire Jauron!

TeraandJosh — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:08:02 GMT

Just a few weeks after Ralph Wilson (owner of the Bills) said he doesn't like to fire coaches mid-season, sounds like he is listening to the fans. I feel bad for Jauron - he seems like one of the nicest guys out there, but I felt he really lacked passion and enthusiasm.

What Happens????? (Clicky Poll)

Vikki2pay — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:19:29 GMT

When your 2 favorite teams play?

Right now I'm watching the Isle's/Bruins game and I'm having a tough time with this game, I am an Islander's fan, but I can't root against the Bruins, they are my second love, it's actually amusing, the Isle's killed off almost 2 full minutes of 5-on-3 and I was yelling at the T.V for the Bruins not scoring, and still thankful for the Isle's for killing the penalty
