Fantasy afterthought

I was all over him back in June and July when I drafted most of my fantasy teams.

He wasn't even the starter back then lol.

I know that. But I was also very high on Spencer Ware and it was easy for me to also take his back up in case of injury. When I take my first drafted RB, I always take his back up.

I probably haven't watched the ESPN morning show in years. It became too much of a circus sideshow and less about football. Started watching NFLN and haven't stopped. They have "some" silly schtick but mostly concentrate on X's and O's more.

New girlfriend is from Wisconsin so she's a packer fan and this is going to be her first experience watching football with me and my friends or in Texas period (so she's not used to drunken idiots)

I do plan on getting semi drunk and cheering for the Hawks (especially lacy) to annoy her...it'll make it so much sweeter if lacy goes off (even though I won't play him) so I can keep saying that the packers should have kept him

You always preferred to sleep on the couch anyways, don't ya honey, :wink: :lol:

Nothing to add to your post. Full agreement with you. In all honestly, I can't remember the last time I watched ESPN for anything football outside the weekly game that provide us.

Actually, most of the time, I get more credible information from all you guys instead of ESPN. Nothing credible about jwise however, wink, wink.

We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Super cool to see NRG explode when JJ Watt ran out of the tunnel. He will have a massive day.

Boger officiating this game. Expect lots of stoppages.

Defense hasn't been great either. Bortles getting way too much time and space. An NFL caliber qb might have hit us for a couple touchdowns by now.

Cousins off to a very unimpressive start. Aside from one big play Wentz not looking that great either.
