S. Alexander says Panthers his #2 choice
IrishPride replied to Ralph Furley's topic in Fantasy Football
It's all about the money........I hate when people say that about him or A-Rod. If I could get a job making two or three times as much money, I would, So does that make me a bad person? The last time I checked, I think the last person that stuck around for veteran minimum was the Bus and he finally got a ring. Loyalty has worked a couple of times in pro sports but until you have lived in there shoes its hard to judge their motivation. There job is a game they get paid to play...not a bad deal if you can make tons of cash.......Loyalty only works with dogs not in professional sports, dogs die of old age, loyal players get cut when they loose a step.....I'm a blue collar worker and work hard for my money, It's not like this is a rich persons perspective...If the players don't get the money, the owners will. -
USAF and Frieght Railroad Employee.....Of course a union member.....As coporate america outsources work and the goverment relies more and more on contractors.......Even in combat situations.......Work standards today are a direct result of the "union" founders......Are working standards safe enough for the the absolute abolishment of unions? I don't know but I will say one thing,"The nfl players association and "Pro Sports Unions" Should never be mention in the same sentence as those poor miners.......If the actual worker gets paid less and flips the bill for his or her health insurance....Do the executives give the surplus to charity or do they line their own pockets? Unioins were established for a purpose and it may have gone off course over time........But so hasn't the american dream....$300,000 house and one kid because college is so expensive, wasn't my grandfathers idea of the american dream.

I don't understand why the Qb is allowed to slide? If he he scrambles and run's past the line of scrimmage, He gets credited rushing yards? Why is he so special? A Rb gets hit no matter where he is? With the new breed of rushing or mobile Qb's, A defensive player is always at a disadvantage? M.Vick or even Vince Young "Next year", They rush one play for 5yds and slide, then the very next play they rush for 30yds and don't slide but run out of bounds? Your a defensive player running at him worrying about the slide or some ridiculous move they are gonna make on you and bam, your the "POD"! We all know seeing yourself get juked over and over on national TV is gotta be fun right? I just think Rb's take a pounding and Qb's are pampered. Every NFL team is looking for a mobile Qb because the faster and more athletic defensive players get, the harder it is to block them. How many sacks are todays defensive players actually losing? If the Qb is outside the tackle he can throw it away and if he's past the line of scrimmage he can slide? The slide allows non-mobile Qb's to avoid sacks also, just get pass the line of scrimmage and slide feet first! I just think you could have a great discussion about the rule and the future of the Mobile Qb in the NFL. Sliding is for Water Parks and stolen bases! I may not have hit all the points but atleast you get the idea.............

I'm not gonna argue with you but " According to the rules, if you are past the line of scrimmage there can be no sack. Sacks only occur behind the line of scrimmage." I know that but the whole point was sliding if I can slide.....Why not run past the line of scrimage? I avoid the sack and don't get killed? But if I can't slide I may throw it or take loss...It's a forum not and english class, I'll give you the NFL Rules but thats what were discussing.........I just don't like the rule!

So, who made it to the Superbowl and
IrishPride replied to peteteacher2001's topic in Fantasy Football
Made it to superbowl for the first time.....At 7-6, Matchup's Cooley and Givens were the crushing blow........Roster below...Still can't believe it....The guy I beat was 12-1, I made him retire...... ......Givens and Cooley -
Beat Commish 12-2.....I'm 8-6 and going to SB, I want a Cooley Jersy for Christmas!
-
Bryant @ Oak Frye has been real flakey and like's TE around goaline? Droughens should have a good day rushing? Wilford @ hm vs SF.........#32nd ranked pass def? I actually think I'm gonna gamble and go with Wilford based on match up?
-
Lost Cmart and Lefty to injuries....Hurt my team based on matchups...So every point is gonna be critical and will affect my survival. Wilford @ Hm Vs. SF? McMichael @Hm Vs. Jet's......Would play him at TE and Cooley at W/R Position? But who in there right mind starts two TE's? Bryant @ Oak I think he's the play...but Oak can't get embarrased two weeks in a row?
-
Bump........Need a little help guy's......This is gonna kill me if I make the wrong choice......Every opinion count's....It's the playoff's.....need help.....
-
I have Wilkins and Graham and been playing musical matchups all year......Got burnt one week, bad.....Wilkins had 5pts and Graham had 15pts........lost by 9.5...Kickers matter....I went from 2nd place to 4 and haven't recovered since.....but still in playoffs
-
Not real sure? I have been starting TJ religously but Wilford or Bryant may be better play this week? Huddle say's- TJ gets 70yds and no score? @ HM vs Bal? Wilford gets 80yds and 1 score @ Ariz? A.Bryant gets 60yds and 1 score @ Min? (Edwards factor?) In my mind none of these are solid plays, so just looking for last minute opinions?

portis

I like Perry....Catches and runs....will get more touches than gado and pass......
-
bump

I like Shockey, Seattle has given up 11 passing td's, Loyd is the man in SF...The only man but reguardless, they will throw him the ball alot.....Jax just torched Titans for 3 scores in the air........ Just check mine please still haven't figured out the whole tag thing and link to mine....
-
I like the Bengals corp....Not much of a fan but Chad,TJ,Henry/Perry aren't too bad?
-
He heard they were selling hot dogs in the endzone! I don't think he had a run over 20 yds in a giant uniform?
-
A couple of WDIS questions in one...
IrishPride replied to Tboogs's topic in Fantasy Football Advice
Enough said :clap:but i like martin. -
I go with Galloway amd Portis based on last week stats I should sit S.Jackson, Everyone has bad weeks........Roll with your studs and hope for the best.
-
The niners are bad but last time I checked Mcnair has been throwing alot and SF doesn't exactly have the best pass DE either......I like Tiki because atleast the offense is set up by the run......Tiki if the G-men have a chance at winning this game.......Eli is gonna get his but Tiki will have 80 yds and 1 score and 3 rec for 25yds 1 score. But he was banged up so double check but if healthy he's your man.

To who? Fraud, I mean Fragile Fred Taylor? Ariz for some reason figured out how to hold S.Jackson under ten yards? I think lefty coming off the best game of the year is a good start this week @ Ariz, I like the matchup, I'm going with Lefty, so we can go down in flames together !
