  1. Agreed, same in my league. Additionally, my league charges a fee if you lose that week's matchup. So there could be financial incentive for a non-playoff team to continue to work on their roster.
  2. It doesn't even have to be that complicated of a comparison. Just put a black faced mascot on the helmet and change the name to "Blackskins". Or an Asian character and change it to the "Yellowskins". Or a Hispanic mascot and change it to the "Brownskins". Hell, how about the "Whiteskins" with a charicature of Larry the Cable Guy? Would those names have been changed by now? Fact is, if the American Indian population wasn't less than 1% in this country, this issue would have been reconciled years ago. It's a victimless crime in the eyes of Americans who care more about the names of their sports teams than the minimization of an entire race.
  3. Playing defense tonight. Need to avoid Powell going for about 150 total yards with two touchdowns.
  4. Well, word is now that Richardson will only get 10 to 15 touches against the Niners. Doesn't sound too appealing, especially against that defense. Could be misdirection by the Colts, but I'm probably going to sit him.
  5. I'm not saying this makes you a suspect in all of these incidents, but...
  6. Weeks like this are tough, even though I've handcuffed Bell on my roster. This should be a good matchup for the Lions, so it would be nice to see one or the other be the primary back.
  7. Sounds like he might not. Not sure how difficult it would be to incorporate him this far into the week? Either way, I'm probably sitting him.
  8. As a Richardson owner in a few leagues, I was initially pretty happy about this. Then I realized he gets the Niners IN San Francisco this weekend instead of the Vikings.
  9. Plan accordingly: http://www.sbnation....izona-cardinals
  10. Good grief, I'm borrowing this idea for my league's draft.
  11. As a first-time dog owner, in a few short years I've come to the conclusion that dogs are perhaps the greatest invention in the history of mankind. I'll be a disconsolate, blubbering mess when the time comes with my lab. Condolences to you on your loss.
  12. Thanks for the replies! I guess I need to do some research on a decent attic antenna. We've been looking at the Roku as well as an option for the one television - we have a BluRay player on one television with internet apps and my daughter's television has a WII with Netflix and I believe they are supposed to be adding Hulu at some point. The most difficult part of doing this for us is the ability to record shows and the loss of most sports (agggggghhhhhh!!!). I like the PC idea, I'll have to check into that - my current PC is pretty old though, so I'd likely need to upgrade. As an aside, I was doing some research for my local area (Sacramento) on antennas, etc. There were a couple of general electronics stores that had items for sale, but they didn't specialize in this kind of thing. Made me think that there's probably a decent market out there for small business startups - a niche for people looking to "cut the cord"?
  13. Ok, need a little tech geek guidance here. My wife had it out with the DirecTV guys the other day, and she's ready to cut the cord completely. So we're looking at some options. Couple of questions to get me started (for people who might be in the know). We are currently in a rental, and our landlord isn't really keen on having a roof antenna, although we could do an attic antenna. I'm curious about having a feed to our three televisions (main, bedroom, kid's playroom) for an over the air feed off one antenna...can we splice off one feed to three televisions without a significant loss of signal, or would it require an amplifier? Secondarily, could we use the existing DirecTV cable runs for this? Unfortunately, we are about 40 miles from all the TV transmitting towers, and in the foothills at that - so the signals can be a bit sketchy. I actually bought a Muho Leaf antenna just to try it out on our three televisions - and on the main television we get all the locals, but had mixed results on the others. Nifty little toy though, it's a credit card thin antenna about the height and width of a sheet of paper and only costs about $30. One thing we'd like to have is the ability to DVR some of the network stuff off the antenna. Is TiVo the only real option in this regard? Spending the money to set up three televisions sort of defeats the purpose of us trying to minimize our costs, plus I've read online that their tuner actually tends to affect some additional signal loss. I've probably got a ton more questions, but I'm looking for a bit of starting direction from someone who might have run through this in the past.
  14. I've seen this line of argument, and I think it's really a red herring. I've seen very few people claiming JoePa to be "as bad as the person committing the crimes". So it's not really worth using as an arguing point IMO. I can't say that he isn't due some respect for some things he's done, but his actions make me wonder if "all the great things he's done in his life" is more myth than reality. If you don't have the moral fortitude to make sure a pedophile isn't operating around your football program, it makes me question what less morally questionable things you'd let slide, when getting ever conceivable edge possible was a necessity for a big-time college football coach.
