FortKnox's Journal: Fantasy Football: Draft... NOW... GO!

Sorry I didn't type up a warning this morning, but the draft is in 30 minutes from me typing this. Hopefully you are already prepared or at least setup your predraft list.

Wow

You ought to try being a football coach or something, mate ;-) Something tells me you'd do a darned good job of it!

He may get his shot yet, Joseph is a little young for Pee-Wee football. Truth be known, coaching Little League Baseball and Pee-Wee football are two of the things I'd most look forward to as a father.

Re:Wow

[FortKnox]

Oh trust me... I'm waaaaaaay looking into pee-wee football. Dunno if I'll coach, though.

Since it's Fantasy Football can I pull a Tyler (from the British Sitcom My Hero) and draft fictional characters? Hmm, for American football, maximum usage, I think I'd take the Rock Eater from Never Ending Story for my center, Thermal Man for quarterback, Polar Man for running back..uh.. what were the other positions again? I haven't actually played football since the 8th grade- mid 1980s....

Sorry, Bledsoe == Choke-Artist, and Travis Henry and Macgahee having a pissing contest at tailback isn't going to help him a ton.

Re:Not really playing, but

[bofkentucky]

Bledsoe has a tendency to gamble way to much, look at his carrer TD/INT ratio, despite being on really good (offensive) teams, he still tries to do things he isn't capable of, as he ages it will get worse. If this becomes a keeper league as Josh has suggested, you don't want to waste a high pick on him this year. You would be better served with the McCown kid in Arizona in a keeper league, Denny Green likes wide open offensive, he has reciever support, and are in a weakend division, and you will get him w

Re:Not really playing, but

[bofkentucky]

Okay, I've never been a Bledsoe fan, its known in my circle of friends that Bledsoe is a fair QB who gets a ton of undeserved hype. Marino and Bernie Kosar are similar QB's in my book, yes I know they have decent stats, but the ability to will a team to win is a rare quality. Just as an example, Joe Montana, wasn't particularly gifted physically, Bill Walsh was an offensive coordinator with a weird scheme that people still haven't figured out, so Joe had to become the coach. Bledsoe couldn't do that, fra

Rock Eater from Never Ending Story

Now there's a reference I haven't heard in a while. For all the (lack of) mentions of the Never Ending Story you see today, you'd think the Nothing had swallowed it up. Bravo.

For those who haven't seen it, rent it. It's a great movie. (link [imdb.com])

What time does it start

[Blackneto]

and whos house is it at?

Who's house?

[WIAKywbfatw]

Ron's house...

Wow

[heliocentric]

I had to work late tonight and thus couldn't watch live... I'm surprised I got so many of my requested picks!! w00t.

Now, to see who is dealing ;-)

Re:Wow

[FortKnox]

You had last (IMHO, best) pick.... that meant you double-picked. The first round you did well... everyone went for RBs, you nabbed top QB and WR. Dunno how well rounded your RBs are... will have to look at it.

Re:Wow

[heliocentric]

The RBs I got are a question mark, could go either way really, probably not going to be middle of the road. Could have banner years or could tank.

Same for the TB DEF, without those prime starters they don't appear to be their former selves, but you never know in the NFL.

Some of the RBs IMHO are over rated, like George, he was a great RB but the line in Det just isn't what it was when old #22 ran all over the place.

Then again, I thought Eddie was over rated when he was with Tenn. so maybe I'm just baised
