Yes.But for me, there's also a little bit of the knuckle-head factor in play. I sometimes get the feeling that he's buying into his own hype and may be starting to slip into being the character rather than the person. It's just a gut feeling. When we see him file a change of name petition and...

It's not a given that White will be top 10 this year. ;) I'm not saying he won't be. But it wouldn't surprise me if he dips this season. That said, your list is mine except that I prefer MJD as the RB alternate and Lloyd as the WR alternate.

Three points:1) Schefter reports what others say. His reliability goes no further than that we can believe that someone said what he said they said. In other words, Shefter saying that someone said Gordon has rare skills doesn't mean Gordon has rare skills, it just means someone said he has...

I get that his 40 time may be faster had he prepped as much as the spring draft guys do. And I understand and accept that some guys play faster than they measure. But let's also keep in mind that announcing his decision to declare for the supplemental draft isn't the same as him deciding that...

He just now got around to finally unpacking it. Must have been buried in one of those last few cardboard boxes out in the garage."Oh, there's my stupid! I was wondering where it was." But then again, I'm a Robert Quinn owner, and he just got popped for one too. Not getting a DUI isn't hard to...

Actually, I think they did. Didn't he take the year off from tweeting or somesuch? They can't fix eroding physical ability or the inability to learn a playbook. But then again, maybe Miami will return the Welker favor.

But does he really have rare physical skills? Seriously. People act like 6'3" is rare. It isn't anymore. Over 6' WR's are the norm now. Look at the combine numbers and see how many guys come into the league at this height, weight, speed. Look at the vertical and long jump numbers.I can't...

Good posting.I've said it before: the more competitive your league is in terms of skill, the greater impact luck will have in the results. Bad luck can hamstring you in leagues where everyone is as smart and informed as you are.

So you're saying that if the other owners aren't watching the shark pool hype train threads, you have waiver wire rules that allow someone to start making waiver moves when normal people are still in bed, and can use the Jedi mind trick on weak minded trade partners, you can over come the early...

Good posting. This is my position as well.That first round guy is not only a starter, but he's your top starter at his position and likely your stud starter. If he goes down, your margin for error in the later rounds shrinks dramatically.Why is that margin for error different? Trying to...

Your point is well taken. But there is also an element of pressure and defensiveness to that dishonesty, is there not? They get in trouble, so they deflect by lying rather than fess up and accept consequences. I have to imagine that there is an element of that in play in the context of...

I know she's a crackwhore, so we aren't dealing with the most rational of people...But you think she waits 2 days and fabricates signs of trauma to frame her millionaire son, and she comes up with bruised wrists as the injury to fake? That's pretty weak, even at a crackwhore intelligence...

Those weren't the only influences in his life. Dez has been taught right from wrong. He's had people take an interest in him and try to mentor him. He chooses not to follow their advice. If anything, his athletic talent has allowed him access to positive role models that the average kid from...

And it isn't like he grew up in a cocoon where he was exposed to no other influences. How does a preacher's daughter get knocked up? Isn't she a product of her home and community?People hear numerous messages as they grow up. They choose which message they follow. Dez is responsible for his...

Your comments about O-line may be true. But if that was the predominant factor, you would expect RB's from the same team to rank similarly.For instance: Where was DeAngelo on the list? Stewart gets more catches, but they seem to use the two somewhat interchangeably in terms of down and...
