Goes without saying that his medical history made teams gun shy to draft him earlier. If he can stay healthy, Pittsburgh just got themselves an absolute steal. Fingers crossed.

I couldn't agree more. Brutal situation for a player who showed enough ability in camp to make the practice squad roster, where coaching could work on making him a potential NFL active roster QB. It goes without saying that if a player is good enough to make a practice squad or active NFL...

As someone also not familiar with all the aspects of rugby, I'd really be interested in how the officials police this during a game. From what minimal experience I have watching a rugby match on television, I see players carrying the ball and getting tackled with virtually no stoppage of play...

He is like nails on a chalkboard for me. I wish I could post all the commentary from him that has me screaming STFU at the television every Sunday night, but if I actually compiled them it would probably send me to a padded room. But allow me to quote something he said during a Sunday night...

Certainly not as your first drafted QB, but a solid bye week or favorable weekly matchup bench stash.

Quick question. If you play in a D/ST only, and not an IDP league, where do you enter kick/punt return yards/scoring values in DD? I see there's columns to enter values for offensive players (not sure why other than WR's) and IDP's (DL/LB/DB), but the area you would put the values for just a...

League Champion! Can't thank the FootballGuys staff and all the input on these message boards to getting to the promised land! Congratulations to my fellow Champions! This makes it all worth it. Dave

Rules are set at the beginning of the year before the draft for a reason. Top 4, no matter how close of a personal relationship they have with each other, the bottom line comes down to the fact you are all FRIENDS. Not a word to throw around lightly. If the Commish allows that to happen, all...

Heading into the 2nd round of the playoffs, I'm not concerned at all about Nicks status against Philly. He was yukin' it up on the sidelines late in the game Monday night. Most of us were worried about putting him in the lineup in Week 14. While not the point production he's expected to get...

Beside the fact that he went to Carolina?

Can't answer correctly because I play in free and $ leagues. I take them all seriously, but which one's do I focus on? Take a guess.

I still cannot beleive that the Giants are World Champions. Almost 4 hours since the gun sounded and it still hasn't sunk in. Somebody pinch me and make sure I'm not dreaming. This game was won in the trenches on both sides of the ball. The performance from the Giants D was amazing. One...

Forgive me for not reading all the posts, but Ben can whine all he wants if he posts the numbers he did this year as my FF QB.

Regardless of Plax's prediction (which annoys me), I'm more worried about the SI curse. Putting Eli and the Giants smack on the cover of the issue has me concerned more than anything else.

Hard to argue with Madden's opinion. I have to put the late Sean Taylor's hit on punter Brian Moorman in the most recent Pro Bowl right up there with it.If you need a reminder, here's the link from the '07 Pro Bowl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ITfxGQGgXY Rest In Peace, Sean. You will be...
