My 14 year-old son is adamant about buying his first piece of sports memorabilia.  He wants a signed jersey from an NFL QB.  He has it whittled down between two guys - Joe Namath (Jets jersey) or Justin Herbert (college or NFL jersey).  I really know little about this world, so if someone has an...

Kind of surprised I have not seen anything here about it, but there are so many alternatives to the "big 2", it is not too surprising.  If you have not played, you should check it out (I am not a paid sponsor...lol).  I started playing in late 2020, and have really enjoyed it.  the premise...

I've been invited to participate in an 8-team, pretty high-dollar draft.  Honestly, I have not played in an 8 teamer in 19 years, so I thought I would start a thread just in case someone else out there could use the input.  If not, then help me out  :D . To take this seriously, would someone go...

Thought we could us a place to discuss picks, issues, etc., so we do not muddle up the drafting thread. Also thought Rene could use a place to vent when I snipe him :o

These two kind of stick out to me, because if healthy, both are still capable of 800+ yard seasons. For both, that is far from a given, but I do think as time goes by, they could provide some good value (guessing their current ADP is in the 80s for WR), so they can be picked up as WR 5-6 in a...

Almost forty year-old, long suffering Jets fan here. I've never had the nerve-racking pleasure of watching my team in the big game and was thinking whether I would do something different. Over the past decade, I've gone to a few SB parties, watched at home with the family, and even worked...

As the trade deadline looms (or has past), do you have any players that are wasting away on your bench and you were just not able to move? Over the years, I usually have felt that with bye weeks or just general depth (I tend to play in 12 team leagues) I have not really owned quality players...

Haven't been in the Pool a lot lately due to work, and meant to get this up prior to preseason, just as a daily time waster. This list of course is totally subjective, but curious to see what people have to add... By "best", it could be someone whose career was curtailed by injury, someone who...

Was going to post in the Harvin thread, but the talk about the Dolphins got me thinking. They seem to be in good shape with their running game, and at QB. Fasano is somewhat serviceable, and they drafted that rookie last year who they had high hope for, so I think on offense they go WR or line...

What we all knew, actually happened...an "also-ran" led the team to victory, which has eluded Mr. Gabbert for a long time now. Henne almost won a shoot-out with the best team in the AFC the previous week, and followed that up with a sound victory over a divisional opponent. Personally, I've...

I know there are a few topics about each player out there, but I thought there may be value in having a thread dedicated to Spiller owners (who do not already own F-Jax) to gauge whether (1) they are trying to acquire Jackson (or have thought about it) and (2) if so, what they may have sent in...

I've been meaning to post this for a while, but while our drafts are fresh in our heads, I thought I would throw this out there. This concept is different than what Paul Charchian used to call "upside down drafting" (at least that is what I think he called it), where you do the opposite of the...

I started a five team league with my kids and joined the free MFL (at least I think I did) group and am trying to set it up for best ball, so I don't have a ton of maintenance. I put in the number of starters as 9 and when I go to the starting lineups, it defaults with which I guess are the...

Does anyone know of a free league hosting software that can handle a "best ball" format. Starting up a league for my immediate family (me, wife, and 3 kids (10 and under). I want to make this as simple as possible, and plan of drafting large rosters each (20+ players per team) and (1) running...

Seems like a dumb question (and hey, maybe it is), but at this time a year ago, many were 50/50 on which guy would emerge (or if either would). Brown had a great sophomore year and put up 1100 yards on 69 receptions, so he does seem like the #2 going into 2012 (and that is fine). My real...

Been on the boards for years and follow the NFL pretty closely. Up until about 3-4 weeks ago, I never heard of the term "bracketing". From what I gather (and likely this or somewhat of this is incorrect), but from what I have pieced together, it basically is done to a WR when a CB and a Safety...

Am interested in whether some people ran into a situation where they made a pick, regretted it, and it worked out anyways. We always talk about busts we avoided (and many times are validated) and sleepers or WW gems who work out, but thought this topic was worth discussing too. For example, I...

As per ESPN: Marc Bulger retires from NFL By Adam Schefter ESPN Archive After 11 NFL seasons, including two in which he was selected to the Pro Bowl, former St. Louis Rams and Baltimore Ravens quarterback Marc Bulger said he is retiring. The 34-year-old Bulger could have continued playing...

As per Yahoo: BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP)—Eagles defensive tackle Mike Patterson(notes) has been taken to a hospital after collapsing at a training camp practice at Lehigh University. Patterson dropped to the ground between plays during practice Wednesday morning, and the player began violently...

It is hard to take a step back and look at history when you are in the midst of things to see that a "given" at one point in time is anything but a guarantee. I like what Luck did last year, and chances are he will be the #1 overall, but leading up to the draft there was an assumption that if...
