Vegas is holding off on the Colts-Patriots line. I'll bet they start it at 20 because the Patriots are going to try and run up the score.

Biggest tactical error I've ever seen was just made in my fantasy league.

A guy has a commanding lead over his division. He loses Jamaal Charles for the season. Two guys in his division have priority on the waiver wire. There is NOBODY left in free agency RBs that's a starter or that even sees any time.

Our league also has no trades. He has no RBs on his bench.

They could have completely hamstrung him for the remainder of the season, yet somehow they let him grab Charles' replacement, West.

The worst part is that one of them is in desperate need of a RB.

Cowboys agree with Browns and bench Weeden.
... yet somehow they let him grab Charles' replacement, West.

Reid says it's RBBC, but I'd expect it to be 75/25 on the West side before too long.

You must be passive aggressively referring to me?

I get what you're saying but I don't need another RB and then I'd just drop another RB in a similar situation as Chadcardrick West, which I guess is the second coming of Jim Brown in your opinion

Biggest tactical error ever?? Get real!

West is Charles, Jr. Granted, I'm not expecting the Chiefs to dominate this year, but Alex Smith isn't going to step up and get points.

I wasn't being passive aggressive to you. I had already looked at your team, and like me, you would have had to drop a RB to grab West. Gary, on the other hand, had a higher waiver priority, needs RBs, and didn't get West.

And no, he's not the second coming of Brown, not sure how you reached that conclusion, but he is a starter.

And yeah, when your division's leader loses his #1 player and has one option to replace him, not grabbing him is a big deal.

Your brother made a MUCH bigger error. He had #1 priority and he grabbed Theo Riddick. Ha!

Theo Riddick's not going to be a success unless Vin Diesel decides to bring him in as a sidekick.

Weeden "is pissed." The football world is trembling.

Brown annoyed with Vick.

The Falcons were undefeated before this ... how? Is it perhaps the fact they have the pussiest schedule in the entire NFL this season?

Tom Brady slams Coca-Cola. I think this is the first time I've ever agreed with him.

I do think it's funny that he doesn't believe in doing what people tell him. He plays in a sport where coaches tell him what to do constantly, and he and his team and known for not following rules. Pick your joke.

By the way, I was really torn between Brees and Dalton this week. Thankfully, I went with Dalton. Brees was only worth 17 points despite throwing for over 300 yards. (Only 1 TD)

Kellogg's response pretty much proved Brady was talking out of his ass on Frosted Flakes.

Most cereal is artificially enriched with vitamins, if I remember. Hell, you may as well pop some pills and eat oatmeal for the same effect.
