Good info from Schefty. Thanks. Lions handled WR right. They signed Golden Tate as FA in 2014 rather than draft a stud. Calvin gets hurt, GT immediately plays like a #1, makes the Pro Bowl and carries them to the playoffs. Best FA signing of 2014. They saw value and talent and struck...

So now Dombrowski is an ObGyn too?

:blackdot:

Mayhew has only had 3 drafts. Low round picks can't necessarily contribute in their 1st year, so there's 2 yrs of returns to review and you're selling him short. Sammie Lee Hill in the 4th has been very valuable. Dan Gronkowski in the 7th was traded for Alphonso Smith. Steal. Chris Houston...

They're flushing the kids' systems with fluids similar to flushing a car's radiator. Taxed kidneys aren't able to process that much fluid so the body ends up retaining fluid. Some are suggesting the 30-50 lbs. number may be a little high.

Here are the Iowa guys that have signed FA Deals: Free agent signees: Mike Jones OL San Diego Chargers Ed Miles LB Miami Dolphins Miguel Merrick DB San Diego Chargers Marcus Paschal DB Philadelphia Eagles Drew Tate QB St. Louis Rams

I see eye-to-eye with the guys treating these events as independent and discrete.If you're going to think along these lines of "TD Value" and combine scoring categories, then receiving TDs are worth more than 7 points in PPR leagues. In some leagues, they're worth 11 points and in mine 13...

No, the whole point of PPR in our league (and other performance scorers including our 1 pt for every 5 carries) is to reduce the overvaluing of fullback TD vultures, and/or the impact of part-time players getting their lucky TD and being more valuable during a week than a fulltime starter.

5 games without pay.Looks like I saw that Haynesworth signed a 5 year/ $8.3 million deal.Assuming that cash is spread out evenly (probably isn't) and doesn't reflect any bonuses (probably doesn't), then my math as an approximation:8.3 million div by 5 yrs div by 16 games x 5 games = ~$518,750.00...

Fixed for accuracy. See Bo Schembchler's autobiography where Dierdorf makes that announcement during MNF while Bo is in a nationally ranked QB recruit's living room. I'm Benny Friedman, NFL Hall of Fame QB and Michigan alumnus, and I approve of this message.

Championship

I'm definitely holding. He's not taking off (yet) like Dodds thought in the preseason, but injuries (to Addai) and the rookie wall are both two huge possibilities to giving Rhodes lots of the value during FF playoffs. He's done for 2007 in Indy, however.

And the Lions win the toss."We'll take the wind"

Agreed completely. I almost added that the Cardinals give the Lions a run for the money (long term).Currently, the Niners do mirror the Lions in part because their big failure followed great success. At least the Niners can point to the creation of the salary cap as one large cause of their...
