The offensive line is just Trent Williams and four cardboard cutouts of fat people.

LOL

Some of those had brilliant one-liners.

Your backup quarterback is Matt Flynn, who scans the field for Jordy Nelson like a man who can't find his car in a parking lot.

Kuhn. Fucking Kuhn. He's still there! What, did they give him a lifetime contract or something? Can't he die? At least Wes Welker is a productive whiteboy favorite. But the fucking Kuhn lumbers for a two-yard gain the stadium erupts as if locals have just been told that one Latino family has decided to move out of town.

I once went to a game at Lambeau and at the tailgate, there was a guy wearing a scarf made from his dead dog.

Because I can't make this up: Josh Gordon selling used cars for a living. I'm sure Manziel will be washing them soon.

Bold predictions.

Drew Brees will break Peyton Manning's yardage record, and 6,000 is possible
Robert Griffin III will be a top 10 quarterback
The Ravens will have offensive problems
Peyton Manning won’t throw 50 touchdowns again … or 40, either
The Broncos will beat the Seahawks in Seattle
Trent Richardson will be a 1,000-yard back
Cam Newton's contract extension talks will get ugly
Calvin Johnson won't be the best receiver in his division. It won't be Jordy Nelson or Brandon Marshall, either [Alshon Jeffery]
Josh Gordon will play this season
The NFL will announce the Raiders are moving back to Los Angeles

Sure hope he's right about RG3.

I hope so as he's on my fantasy team.
Not from what I've seen.
Duh.
He is almost 40...
I can see that. Winning the unimportant one.
Doubt it.
Probably. I mean if Auburn paid him 800k for one year...
No.
Clearly wrong.
It does make sense.

No.
Might not even be top 20.
Given since last season.
No.
Probably
T-Bitch will have problems breaking 300 yards.
Obvious.
Insane.
On more drugs than the entirety of the crowd at a Phish show or alternatively, Josh Gordon.
The Raiders need to move between Oakland and LA every few years so the local populace can take a break, have a drink, and forget about having their name attached to a team that hasn't competed since Rich Ganon's twilight days.

I started Lynch + Wilson in the PPR keeper league. 45 points for me. 17.3 for his Jordy Nelson.

Post by **Leisher** » Fri Sep 05, 2014 10:28 am

In my FF (Friends and Family) league I went up against Wilson, but I offset it slightly as my defense is Seattle's. I'm down 19-2 although I'm projected to put up 99, while he's projected for a total of 98.

We'll see.

I know a lot of people think Richard Sherman is crazy. Very talented athlete, engaging personality, but the kind of crazy that makes me as amazed as you longtime readers that he's in fact not one of the women I used to date. Did you see the interview he did recently with NBC's Josh Elliott? If you missed it, here's what he said.

"When the fantasy football numbers need to be what they need to be, then the league needs to do what it needs to do to get it done, y'know, and this is a money-driven league. So whatever is gonna sell the tickets is gonna sell the tickets."

Wow.

Fantasy helps drive those TV ratings, and that's serious money.

Not so fast my friend!! That little part about Gordon playing is not out of the question. WOW!

This, I find insane:

Two star receivers, Wes Welker of the Denver Broncos and Josh Gordon of the Cleveland Browns, are under suspension for drug violations -- Welker for four games for amphetamines and Gordon for all of the 2014 season for another positive marijuana test.

Wes Welker - CHEATING
Josh Gordon - Getting high

PEDs and drugs should not be treated the same

Not a fucking prayer. There's a higher chance of the Ravens moving back, giving Cleveland another team to drag down into mediocrity.

PEDs and drugs should not be treated the same

The only dude who might see bud as performance enhancing is Lynch, and only because of the Skittles thing.
