    Tokyo

    Hey guys, headed to Tokyo in a couple of months to run the marathon. Already found a lot of helpful information online, but I thought I'd check in here, too, and see if I could pick up any additional pointers. We're flying into Haneda and spending 5 nights at Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel in...

    "75 Hard" challenge

    I'm going to start the "75 Hard" challenge on June 1, and I'm looking for some accountability buddies. I think it's been mentioned in the FFA a couple of times in the past, but for anyone who isn't familiar, it requires you to complete each of the following for 75 days straight: 1. Follow a...

    Best big TV for my buck?

    Hey guys, we just finished our basement, and I'm in the market for a big TV for the family room. Definitely something 75" or bigger. I'm not up on this stuff, and I really don't have the time/energy to do a bunch of research. We won't be doing any gaming, and I'm definitely not one of those...

    Fave high upside, low floor WR for week 15?

    I think a lot of us got burned by Keenan Allen last night.  Others of us might (also) be stuck with Michael Thomas on our bench. If you find yourself needing to make up points, who's your favorite high upside, low/zero floor WR for week 15?

    Idea for Christmas gift for clients?

    I work in the financial services industry, and every year I send a couple dozen of my clients a box of custom made, individually wrapped Christmas cookies.  One design has my name/company logo on it, etc.  The lady who makes them also takes care of shipping each order directly to the client. ...

    DK vs. Patrick Peterson, part 2

    So far in two career games against Arizona/Peterson, Metcalf has caught a total of two passes for 23 yards (on only 6 combined targets).  Let's say you have another option like Tee Higgins or Brandin Cooks.  Do you consider leaving DK on the bench next week?  Speaking more generically, are there...

    Starting two WRs from the same team

    Do we like this strategy or not?  I'd think that it would help make your scoring more consistent, but also limits your ceiling.

    Darren McFadden

    Healthy scratch last night with Jason Garrett opting for Alfred Morris instead as Zeke's primary backup. Is McFadden still worth a roster spot at this point?  Even with Zeke getting his injunction, McFadden still holds some value as a handcuff, but not if he's gonna be the #3.  Should we be...

    Packers "going to try to go for this thing"

    Packers "going to try to go for this thing" Personally, I love it. I think it's all about attitude and momentum, and this team has plenty of both. As a lifelong Packers fan, the last thing I wanna see is a repeat of the 2009 Colts.

    Questions for Steelers homers

    Just a couple of quick question for Steelers fans: 1. Any early word on Willie Parker this week? Obviously a great start for the Steelers RBs against the Lions, just wondering whether it's going to be Fast Willie or Mendenhall or both, and if it's the both, what kind of split we might expect...

    SJax if Bulger doesn't play

    Just wondering if others feel that SJax is still a top-5 or top-10 RB this week if Bulger doesn't play and Brock Berlin gets the start instead. On one hand, you've got to think that SJax would get a seriously heavy workload in this situation, but on the other hand, you'd also think that...

    Donte Stallworth

    I see that Stallworth was a "partial" participant in practice this week with a bad knee. I checked all the local papers and couldn't find anything of value. Anyone have any reason to believe that he'll miss tomorrow's game? Yudkin?

    D/ST TDs

    Where can I find out how the various teams rank YTD in terms of D/ST TDs scored? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Anybody else think this was bush league?

    Anybody else think Eckel's TD w/19 seconds remaining was totally bush league? Already up by 14, doesn't a classy coach just tell his QB to take a knee there? Just re-affirms my opinion that Belicheck is an arrogant jerk with no class whatsoever. I hope this comes back to bite them in the...

    Interesting stat on Vince Young

    Going back to Week 5 of last season, VY hasn't gone two (2) consecutive games without a rushing TD. None last week against the Colts, which should bode well for him this week against the Saints. Discuss among yourselves...

    Outlook for Grossman

    Just checking out Grossman's match-ups the rest of the way, and they look pretty sweet: vs. MIN - 242.5 passing YPG (#31 in NFL) and 12 passing TDs (T-#8) @ STL - 189.3 (#10) and 16 TDs (#24) vs. TB - 218.4 (#22) and 21 TDs (T-#30) @ DET - 215.5 (#19) and 19 TDs (T-#26) vs. GB - 232.7 (#29)...

    Brad Hoover the goal-line back in CAR?

    Found this blurb in the 10/13 issue of the Sporting News: I hadn't heard this before, and I guess I'm just wondering if there's any truth to it. With Steve Smith back in the Panthers' line-up, I really like Foster for the balance of the year, but his upside would certainly be limited if Hoover...

    Cowboys vs. Redskins

    Playing at home on prime-time TV. On Monday night, Troy Williamson, Travis Taylor, and co. combined for five (5) receiptions of 20 yards or more, including a 20-yard TD where MRob outran CB Carlos Rogers. The Vikings receivers aren't in the same league as Owens and Glenn. Not only will the...

    Davenport hopes to fill RB Bettis' Role

    Per article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: What's your take? I have no problem with Willie taking a breather every now and then, as long as it's not at the goal line.
