Dealing with a winless betting article a couple of weeks back and a major harasser posting on the site, I have simply had too frail of an ego to post anything on RotoScoop in quite some time. I have finally summoned the courage to do so; be kind.
Ronnie Brown isn’t a top-5 pick, he’s a top-3 pick.
The calling of a timeout right before a player kicks a field goal is ridiculous, especially when the clock is stopped. Once the center goes down into his crouch, only a player on the field should be allowed to call a timeout.
I have better hands than TO. He may, however, have a narrow edge on me in physical attributes.
Speaking of timeouts, it seems as if timeouts are never called with the same sense of urgency as they are in other pro sports, namely basketball. How often do you see a team/coach run 5-10 seconds off the clock before leisurely calling a timeout. Wade Phillips did so a couple of times Monday, and it’s just plain silly.
I’m surprised Trent Edwards couldn’t pull it out last night. All that guy did in college was win football games. He’s like the white Vince Young. The Bills just need Kwame Harris to protect his blind side.
Speaking of Stanford football, we shocked the world on Saturday and the voters took notice as we garnered 4 top-25 votes, twice as many as UCLA! I’m already checking out plane tickets to New Orleans.
And speaking of Stanford sports, I don’t know if any of you caught my SAE brother Ryan Garko celebrating in the Indians locker room, but he was doing a “Full Extension,” a social movement taking our nation by storm!
Speaking of starting every line with “speaking of,” my league uses Fanball, which has a great waiver system and allows us to post obscene pictures on our message board and as team logos. Other than that, Fanball is run by a bunch of jokers. It’s bad enough that they preach “do the opposite” which means don’t draft a running back with your first two picks (all right, not necessarily a bad strategy this year) and keep trying to hit me up for $30 to tell me who to start. This week, in the ten most recent newsbreakers, Fanball referred to Travis Henry as T-Hen and followed that brilliant gem up with T-Jack (Tarvaris Jackson). Ugh.
Players to target in trades this week: Jon Kitna, Matt Hasselbeck, Tony Romo, Kurt Warner, Willie Parker, Frank Gore, Donald Driver, Marques Colston.
Players to deal away this week: Derek Anderson, Philip Rivers, Tory Holt, Steve Smith, Tatum Bell, Michael Turner, Kenton Keith, Maurice Jones-Drew.
The Office is funnier than any show on television, including HBO (plus I’m sooooo glad that Jim and Pam have gone public 😉 )
I don’t see the Pats-Cowboys spread up yet, but I’m guessing -6.5, and I’m taking the Pats. I’d probably set it at 9.5.
Laurence Maroney missing two straight games has kind of gone under the radar. When he returns I look for him to be no more than a middling RB2 with Sammy Morris still a worthy flex guy.
Just like Tony Romo (my star quarterback) I had an off week, played poorly, snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, am good-looking and sit at 5-0. And, considering that I’m forced to start Ron Dayne and two TBD scrubs off waivers this week, I’ll also be 5-1, just like Romo.
