NFL Off-Season |OT2| My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Draft
- Thread starter Buckethead
- Start date
I can't commit to team Dutch at this point. The only national team I always cheer for is the US.
When it comes to soccer the one advantage of not having set teams is that I change my mind from tournament to tournament. While I loved the Dutch in the last WC I may not feel so inclined this Euro. Teams change drastically year to year.
The one thing I can say is that I wish I was in England during the Euro. It is hilarious being in England for the WC or Euro. Everyone deep down knows their team is going to choke or embarrass themselves, but somehow right before the tournament they will pump themselves up into believing they somehow have a shot at winning things and that it is still 1850. Once the inevitable happens it is startling to see how fast the flags come down and the it is hilarious reading the papers and watching tv.
I was fortunate to be there on vacation during one of the Euros (I think it was the year that Greece won and brought disgrace to an entire continent).
We had a decent line in the last 2 years, the problem we have had is injury and consistency. We need some new blood ASAP. If we can address the corner and OL problem in the draft and find a way to fill in the other holes in depth either by late draft picks or FA we should contend this year with some luck.
Knew it would be a 5th. Good gamble on Rivers. It would be questionable if the Giants actual 5th would have even made the squad.
Locklear signing is curious, swing tackle and depth, I imagine? I can still see them going OL some time in the first four picks.
Speaking of the Giants first four picks, I think they will be; HB, WR, OL, and DE/DT. That'd be great...

Doubt it. Arthur Blank turned down the show last year saying it would be a needless distraction.

We all know he's a great player, but also a great choker....Would have been World Champions if he didn't suck one-on-one...Still have nightmares.
I just hope they trade him to a real team since you Germans don't like him, somewhere where he can actually win something.
Also, I would punch that taunting piece of shit in the face.
You were better banned.

UPDATE!
Do the Steelers even have the money to pay him more? (assuming they wanted to)

They do. Just not what he wants.Drakeon said:
Liking the Rivers move as mentioned. Though I'll like it more if he stays healthy. If he does, that will get Kiwi back on the defensive line rotation which will be huge.
Also, good article on Jake Ballard and the knee injury. Many will remember him trying to cut on the sideline during the Super Bowl and that apparently caused cartilage damage to the knee on top of the ACL tear. In other words, I highly doubt he makes it back for the 2012 season.

sometimes the truth hurts but you'll see in due time. i have no dog in that race but the bears are going to be a last place team in the NFC north... those are just the facts!

Figures. I stop paying attention and the Steelers start doing stuff.
I was hoping that being on the free market would knock some sense into Wallace's head.
He is a great player and deserves to be paid, but definitely not as the highest paid receiver in the game. Fitz is arguably the best and even he is overpaid.
Hopefully we can get it done before the season and Wallace has time to get the new offense down. He is just going to hurt his value more by sitting out. In the NFL the system really favors the owners. This isn't the NBA or MLB where you can get giant, guaranteed contracts despite being unproven or over the hill.

Let him sit out. Nobody else is gonna sign him, so this is just a numbers game at this point.

i'll make you an avatar bet that the bears wont make the playoffs. that division is so shitty there isn't much separation between the teams so i could see them lucking into a 3rd place finish

I love the nfl because pretty much every year a terrible team can win a division, like the 49ers last year.
I love sports talk radio

in the reality, truly terrible teams, like the browns, chiefs and jets cant win shit

u still mad bout the niners success? i told you bums 2 years ago if we got a decent coaching staff we would be dominant and here we are. but i don't expect a bears fan to know anything about quality coaching!

Theres a guy on Cleveland radio that just screams and rants and raves every morning about every single move the Browns make or dont make. It's funny and kind of therapeutic. A lot of the callers are really, really stupid and I dont think I could host a show without going off on them on a regular basis Howard Stern style.

We have our avatar bet, I need not do any more shit talking.
Shitty division? Coming from a 49ers fan? Not enough jackncoke's in the world.

your mouth will be too full of dicks after the season ends to talk shit so you might as well get it out of the way now!

It's full now, no way to get any more in there. Wait, I could probably squeeze your tiny one in here somewhere.

Lots of chirps today that we're interested heavily in Vontaze Burfict in the later rounds. The nutcase LB from Arizona State. He really fell off this year. Before the season he was rated right up there with Kuechley. I'd like to take a chance on him. Our defense played considerably better when Fujita got hurt and they slid Gocong over there.

I'll give you a third, deal? Doubt they move up, won't trade more than a 2nd anyway, this group seems to want to stay put more than move up or down.
I've noticed some talk today about the LB position being bad value in the first, blame it on Rivers and Curry I guess. Funny enough, everyone leaves out Willis and Cushing when the debate is brought up because they're also rush? LBs. LOL
Value myth continues. So RBs, WRs, and now LBs, what other positions are left?
Need to move up the draft, every day I get on another position is bad value, especially at 10. It's unavoidable too, fans just pepper the messageboards with draft talk.

Is it weird that the first thing I thought when I saw the Romo pic was how hot his lady friend is ?
Thought the same thing, looks great. My buddy's wife just had a kid, she looked like wreck after giving birth.
Funny thing is, she's hotter in that snapshot than in anything on Google, IMO.
I was just about to say something about that. Mrs Romo looks fantastic for having just gone through child berth.

Why is that broad in full makeup?
Looks like she's preparing for a photo-op.
Creepy.

The future: Only LT's can be drafted in the 1st round.
Funny enough, last season everyone kept bringing up Tyron Smith not being good value inside the top 10. Guy looked tremendous in his rookie year.

I wanted him in Detroit so bad. I knew he would be stellar, one of the few times I'm right about these things! Fairley is great and all, and I expect good things from him this year. But I wanted the LT spot to be locked up for the next 10 years =(

We need to start an internet petition for the draft to start tomorrow.
Internet petitions get shit done!

Considering we have 37 draft picks in Rounds 5-7, I have no problem with taking some character concern/players coming back from injury projects.

Lots of love for Doug Martin on Path to the Draft. I'm really warming up to him possibly going to the Giants at 32.
I like him. Can't see him falling that far. He's with Randle and Jeffrey in that third tier of receiver that is likely to be taken in the first few picks in Round 2.
