Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
No, I'll be here, no doubt. There will be other people to debate, and I generally won't draft them. Just found Josh compelling, and this, to me, is sad.
Fair enough. It’s just easy to assume that the same folks saying B today were the ones saying A yesterday, but that’s not always the case.
cutting him in dynasty before he's actually indefinitely suspended is kind of dumb, isn't it?
gloating because you think an addict used again is pretty awful.
the NFL.com article is just using the most attention grabbing headline. It uses the same single unverified tweet to say that he is facing suspension everything else is.
Yep. Same for Justin Blackmon. And I don't even play FF anymore.
)Fun fact I learned today after looking at Blackmon's Wikipedia page: He is still technically on the Jags' roster, despite not having played for them since 2013.Yep. Same for Justin Blackmon. And I don't even play FF anymore.
( came here for the Soulfly schadenfreude. Can't find it.
You lost out as well, no? Wasn't JG the one guy you were touting your "model" on for predicting fantasy points?
# of posts has nothing to do with it.
Sadly you have seemed positively giddy relishing the failures of a fellow human being throughout this thread. I think you should just drop posting in this thread and try to regain some semblance of dignity you may have had at one time.
My goodness. I didn't understand addiction until my best friend battled it himself. In spite of my ignorance, I was a good support person and friend throughout and I pray that you never have a family member or a friend deal with this disease.
I didn’t lose anything, he’s already benched.
This is like the people who get personally mad at players and coaches because they lost their fantasy playoffs for them.
He will probably be back before Josh, so you got that going for you.I traded for Kareem Hunt
I don't see that. I see a lot of people disappointed that he didn't defy the odds to have a memorable comeback. I see a lot of people who wish him well and want him to get better. I see a lot of people who think the NFL has a 1920's mentality when it comes to marijuana.
What's sad about this is that I try to be common these days, and find myself uncommon. So that may be a compliment in these times. YMMV.
Yeah, and that was with Edelman suspended four games and Gronk having a dismal season. In ppr he broke 20 points once. Brought anywhere from 12-14 per game less than half the games he played, once he got on the field. A disappointment production-wise, but worth hanging in with him hoping he'd regain some semblance of what we knew he once was.
I keep hearing this, and it may be true, but none of us has any idea what's going on in Gordon's head or what he needs. It may well be that if he had never made it to the NFL he'd be dead now. I feel like that sentiment is more a reflection of people who are sick of thinking about the whole issue and want to be done with him (which is a totally understandable response, BTW).
While you are likely correct on that, his issues reportedly started back in middle school and followed to HS and college. Long before the bright lights and pressure of the NFL. So I suspect those things (pressure, spotlight, etc) don't help, but I am not sure removing NFL football from the equation does him a lot of good. I think he would/will struggle each day whether there is football on his schedule or not. Any relief he may experience with the pressure of pro ball lifted is likely offset by the added anxiety of not knowing what he's going to do from here.
