NFL 2010

[ghost]

It seems as if Brady has made a lot of his money off of Wes Welker types that will eat it across the middle.  And every once in a while he gets loose downfield.  He can certainly go long with accuracy if he has the right receiver.

[Sjofn]

Randy Moss is getting traded to the Vikings.

http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/feed/2010-10/moss-to-vikings/story/report-randy-moss-trade-to-vikings-done-deal

All for a third round draft pick? WTF? I didn't think he was that much of a cancer at NE, but I think this is a huge mistake by the Pats.

Oh my God, I made him get traded.


EDIT: Warning to any Ravens fans, I am starting Flacco this weekend, so he's going to suck.

[Nevermore]

Please start Adrian Peterson, too.  My team has been severely under performing ( Chris Johnson ) and so far every week my opponent has had their best week of the whole season.  Literally.  So please jinx AP.  And Miles Austin while you're at it.

[Sjofn]

Sadly, I cannot start people I do not have, and I have neither of those guys. And to be fair to my fantasy team, Vernon Davis and Frank Gore have not allowed the Sjofn Curse to affect them too badly, aside from the fact they're stuck on the 49ers.

I'm keeping the Giants defense on the bench to see if this hilarious trend of them ONLY owning the shit out of everyone if I bench them continues. My season is pretty fucked already, so why not? I need to amuse myself somehow!

[Cyrrex]

On Moss:  I guess this is good for the Vikings, given that they have put all of their eggs into the 2010 basket already.  May as well give themselves the best chance they have this year, because next year likely begins an era of rebuilding.  The Patriots will land on their feet like they always do. 

On Lynch:  Running backs are never better than their O-lines (except for the rare Barry Sanders kind of talent, so maybe that gives you AP and Chris Johnson?  Maybe Steven Jackson?).  Seattle's O-line started it's downward spiral the day they got rid of Hutchinson.  Today, it downright stinks.  Marshawn Lynch will do no better than any of the others.

NOOOOOO! I picked the Ravens in my survivor pool.

Lynch is bigger than Forsett and tons more talented than Julius Jones, so I think he will be a marginal improvement. You are right though- O-Line blows and that will prevent him from doing anything special. Except maybe get arrested again.

[HaemishM]

Lynch will do better than Jones because Jones has never been near the level of a quality NFL running back. But yeah, with a stinker of an O Line, he won't save that team. Though I am beginning to believe the Hawks will win the NFC West simply by being the least sucky team in that shithole of a division.

Hey, it worked brilliantly for them in the 00s.  Course, for much of that period, they actually did have a good O Line.

[Nebu]

Lynch has a wealth of natural talent, he's just been stuck on some crappy teams.  I'm interested in seeing how he handles the transition.

If nothing else, you have to drool looking at the ease of the Seahawks remaining schedule.

[Cyrrex]

Expect a story to surface within the next 24 hours - apparently, when Favre was with the Jets, he was sending cock pics to some chick.  Should be good entertainment to see how this one unfolds.

7 wins will easily win the division it looks like. Maybe even 6.

The media will care, that's who, and they'll shove it down our throats (pun intended).  Instead of hearing Jon Gruden figuratively suck Favre's cock this coming MNF, he may be able to break it down using the telestrator.

[Nebu]

Would be much better with Madden yelling "BOOM!".

Brett Favre NAKED PICTURES?

Alleged naked pictures of legendary quarterback Brett Favre have surfaced on Deadspin. The photos are said to have been sent to 26-year-old model Jenn Sterger, who worked for the New York Jets when she says Favre sent her cell phone pictures of his penis. Favre played for the Jets at the time of the alleged incident.

In addition to the scandalous photographs, Deadspin has published the storyline that led up to their transmission. If the report is authentic, Favre reached out to Sterger via MySpace, and then began leaving her voicemails. According to the timeline, Sterger ultimately declined Favre's overtures through a third party, which is when the quarterback sent multiple penis pictures. Favre has been married since 1996.

In February, Sterger told Deadspin that Favre is a "creepy douche," but did not want to be involved in the story. Click here for the video from Deadspin.

[HaemishM]

Yeah, be careful if you visit the link to Deadspin. If you click on the video, expect to see some manflesh.

The voicemails sure sound like Brett Favre making booty calls.

[Murgos]

You know?  I could give a shit about Farve showing his penis to a 26 year old model.

It actually annoys me much more that this woman is going to trash Farve for pretty much no reason YEARS after it happened.  Is she envious of all the non-existant attention tigers chicks are getting?

[Cyrrex]

I was under the impression that it was the PR guy that was leaking the story, and that the hot sideline reporter chick wanted nothing to do with it.

But yeah, people like this piss me off.

[HaemishM]

This. Yeah, she seems to want nothing to do with the story.

[Sjofn]

That won't stop people from accusing her of being an attention whore, you sillies!

[HaemishM]

She was probably asking for it. 

[Chimpy]

Didn't the Jets just have a PR storm over how they acted towards a woman with that Spanish chick?

Why would a PR person with any connection to the team at all want to bring back the image of the jets being nothing but cavemen (even in the not too distant past)?

[Segoris]

I'm thinking that it's because Favre is bigger than the Jets and playing for a different team now. A lot of people probably won't associate the Jets with another shit-storm as they'll be busy associating this with Favre and the Vikings. I know that I, at first, didn't even give thought about this being another incident with a Jets player and instead only thought of Favre and the Vikings.

[Cyrrex]

Yeah, this is a Favre incident...I don't think it will reflect poorly on the Jets.  In fact, having the PR guy supplying the info may actually put them in a good light.

The timing is curious, however, considering they play each other on Monday night.  I wonder if someone will spam all the sideline reporter girls with Favre cock pics before the game.

[Paelos]

A local radio show reported this, and as an aside they asked their recent chick intern about it, apparently she and several friends had gotten similar pics from dudes in the past. Apparently it's perfectly normal for some guys to think sending their junk over the phone is acceptable. These people are completely bonkers.

Christ, has it come to this?

[caladein]

[Paelos]

So, so true.

[Nevermore]

I should write letters of apology to both Jermichael Finley and Mark Clayton for being in my starting fantasy lineup.  I apparently have a kiss of death that rivals Sjofn's.  As if that wasn't bad enough, my opponent started Shaun Hill of all people this week.  Apparently I really pissed off some football gods at some point.

[Sjofn]

Giants defense got put on my bench again as an experiment, once again they did pretty well. I am perfectly willing to sacrifice my FF season (especially since I was 1-3 going into this weekend) to keep them playing well.

[HaemishM]

Wow, what a shitty day of football. The Colts looked mostly terrible beating the Chiefs, whose defense is better than I thought and whose offense is pretty clueless. The Packers piss away a winnable game. The Bears prove that they don't need a QB to beat the Panthers. Both the 49ers and the Saints fumble, stumble and throw away winnable games.

But at least the Cowboys are now 1-3. 

[01101010]

This is one insane season... a few good teams and the rest fall into mediocrity. AFC South standings  likewise for the West... fuck it, pretty much all the conference divisions are mixed. The playoffs/wildcard races should be interesting to say the least.

[Trippy]

Yeah the NFC in particular is just sad this year so far. Atlanta may make it all the way by sucking the least. The AFC isn't much better but there are at least a handful of teams including the Ravens and Jets that are trying to separate themselves from the rest. I find the AFC South particularly amusing at moment since 1) all the teams are 3 - 2 and 2) the "top" two teams have given up more points then they've scored.

[Fordel]

The Panthers loss today, how many receptions did the Bears actually complete? Six? Nine?


Four interceptions to boot. 

[Cyrrex]

Picking games the last two weeks has been impossible.  Nothing makes sense anymore.
