That's what I like about being a guy. You fight. You pummell one another nearly to death, then you pick yourselves up, drag each other to the bar, buy one another a beer and tell each other you're good guys.tdoss, this was a good debate. I'd want you in my league any day!PS I guess Wharf Rat...

tdoss,If I had your e-mail, I would have e-mailed you directly and privately to apologize for the "taking the bait" comment. It was a cheap shot and uncalled for. As I mentioned, it was the result of a lack of sleep and an overdose of frustration. My first thought was to go back and edit that...

tdoss,The tone of my last post showed the frustration of a guy who has spent WAYYYYYY too much time on this topic. (I'm self-employed and put a memo in my own personnel file warning me for working on personal matters for two straight days! I have suspended myself to a day without pay tomorrow...

LivinNsc worded it perfectly. I am only saying that the only way to call McCardell a defender is to acknowledge that the change in possession made him so. But if you do that, then you need to replace his status as an offensive player when Tampa/he regained possession. The debate was purely...

I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE ARGUMENT "THE NFL CATEGORIZES IT AS A MISC. DEFENSIVE TD" LAST NIGHT AND THEN THIS HAPPENS! FUNNY HOW COMMON SENSE AND LIFE'S EXPERIENCES CLEAR THIS ALL UP:I went to the dealership last night to buy a Windstar. While tirekicking, I walked over to the lot marked, "Used...

BassNBrew,You have articulated the ONLY argument I have heard all day (out of 608 e-mails! and hundreds more posts on boards) that has a basis in logic and defies my interpretation. Although I do not think there are rules in ANY fantasy league to reinforce this notion, this is the only notion...
