I've often wondered why this is -- it seems whenever an NFL GM or Coach or Scout or Player is talking about a player, they almost never refer to that person by name. It always seems to be references to "their quarterback" instead of Eli Manning or "number 88" instead of Dez Bryant or "the kid...

Lots of rumors swirling around an expected shift to a 3-4 defense in Philly.Wondering what people think the impact will be on key IDPs?Will both Trent Cole & Brandon Graham be moved to OLB?Will Demeco Ryans be the WILB? Rumors that Ryans might be traded...Who would be the SILB...Kendricks...

When you participate in a league, do you generally prefer a league payout structure that gives you more chances to win, or a bigger pot for fewer winners? For example, using a typical 12-team redraft/keeper league where entry fee costs 100 cheerios (gambling is illegal ;) ), would you prefer...

When he was with the Colts (and when he was healthy), Hayden was always a decent start in CB-required leagues.He hasn't signed yet, but assuming he does, what does his signing with Atlanta mean for this year? Can he pick up a new defensive system? Will he displace Grimes or Robinson as a...

I've always wondered why so many teams use their punters as the holder for field goals instead of a backup QB. It seems to me that having a QB as the holder introduces a much greater challenge to the defense in having to be better prepared for fake FGs. Which leads me to two questions: 1) Why...

I don't have cable, and I'm wondering if you guys know of anybody who will be streaming the draft online? Beggars can't be choosers, so I don't really care if it'd be the ESPN feed or the NFLN feed or...? I know NFL Network had a very cool streaming site for the Combine -- does anyone know if...

My league is discussing the possibility of needing to implement a blind bidding process for a couple of different scenarios. Note - these bids wouldn't be in reference to blind bid waivers, and so the functionality we're looking for isn't covered by MFL's built-in blind bidding system. Does...

I've seen a lot of talk about next year's crop of rookies on the offensive side. Who are some of the top IDP prospects in the upcoming draft?

Let me preface this by saying our league has a pretty complex set of rules, so I will generalize this question so its useful to as many leagues as possible. Simplified, we are a long-running 16-team IDP salary cap dynasty league with 53-man active rosters and 5-man development/practice squad...

I forget who posted this, or in what thread it was - but someone here in the IDP forum pointed out that IDPs are susceptible to home-field official scorer's tendencies....reading through some of the new IDP Dynasty Thread reminded me of it... On the offensive side, a 12-yard catch is a 12-yard...

Hey Bloom - As a guy who drafted CLE LB David Veikune in my lone IDP league back in June, I was surprised (but pleased ;) ) today to see that your latest rookie rankings (Aug. 16) have him listed in the top 12 in the overall rookie IDP (I won't give the exact ranking, as I don't know if...

I recently signed up for a company (slow pitch) softball league... Played baseball all through high school...played infield and used a small infielder's glove (it was a Louisville Slugger 11.75"). However, I haven't played an organized game of baseball or softball in probably 7-8 years...

From the Footballguys.com News Blogger: Chiefs Release S Wesley After reportedly trying to trade him for more than a year, the Chiefs today released veteran safety Greg Wesley. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, expects Wesley to be picked up by another team before training camps begin. "There's a lot...

Sirius NFL Radio is running a "greatest team of all time" series, where you can vote on the best player at each position. Looks like I've only caught it at the end of the first week of voting - the voting on Centers is winding down right now, but there will be a new position open for voting...

Brace yourselves, kids - this is going to be a long one! :popcorn: Have carried our league on Fanball for several years now (4 years or so) after having been on Sportsline for many years. Last year, I noticed Fanball had a lot of ads that I feel were designed/coded purely to trick you into...

Clipped from Scouts Inc./ESPN 3rd Round analysis: Hayes just signed a 5-year deal and seemed to be a solid player last year, so it seems unlikely that they'd replace him.Is this speculation about Davis off target? :thumbdown:

I don't know a lot about college football, and I know he gives the cop-out about "does not mean they will be as successful in the NFL", but he's got essentially a who's-who at several positions there for NFL comparisons (DE, OT really stand out to me). In fact, at most of the positions, he has...
