For all the props you give LW he owes you big time.

Cover split three ways, focusing on players returning from injury. Ronnie Brown, Cadillac, and Irons...or just put "All Day" on there...
I had no idea about that Bloom - that's a great story.Chaos Commish started beating the drum about this guy last January. The Hula Bowl performance really cinched it, he truly looked like a man among boys. CC felt like he was the best WR in the draft, I was very close to that, I certainly felt he was the most likely to be a #1 WR of the whole 06 class, but CC deserves a ton of props here for being even more certain than I was. Fast forward to the draft, and we go the first day without Marshall's name being called. Im sitting in Radio City at the draft when his name finally gets called in the 4th by the Broncos. The excitement overtook me and I let out something like the shriek the crowd of schoolgirls made for the Beatles and Stones back in the day. Then a few minutes later when I saw Schefter I ran up to him rabidly talking about how the Broncos just got the steal of the draft and how is he is the next TO... Schefter calms me down and asks me to slow down and tell him again about this steal of the draft.Can somebody please explain the Brandon Marshall "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"/e15 thing? It goes over my head every time I see it.TIAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
What I can say, I'm an excitable boy (RIP Zevon)
Ryan Grant...
That type of pick-up and information available through the service and boards is what sets FBG apart from their competition. The boards, as much as the site, are a competitive selling point and Ryan Grant best represents that from last season.

Should be easy enough, right? Just tell The Whale and Cecil that there will be donuts and punch at the nearest stockyard. That should take care of it.We need to make this happen.

the kneeldown was amazing. I had never seen that before. Just an awesome unselfish play. He is consitantly underrated IMO and would make a nice cover.I like that one.Of course, in summer, a mag should be trying to dell owners it's all bout them and skills and management.(Once December rolls around, it's all luck. It's all a crapshoot. Stuff like that (kneeldown) happen all the time.)

1. Marion Barber...the next stud to emerge from a RBBC
2. Fred Taylor and MJD...focus on when MJD will emerge from the RBBC
3. DeAngelo Williams...the next PPR threat (obviously wait until after the draft for this one)
4. I also think McFadden would be a good choice. I don't think he is close to the prospect people think he will be, but the ideas on him are polarized to a degree that I haven't seen in a while. You could title it, "The next AD, or career RBBC?"
5. As I stated above, you could also just put Peterson on there and be happy. It won't be original, but you can always be original next year...

I honestly could not care less who graces the cover. The FBG Mag has enough content to keep me happy. It might as well be Joe polishing a boat named "SS Keep It Clean, J" with a big cigar in his mouth.
That being said, I say the staff should take a different road than every other fantasy football magazine out there. Do we really care what Adrian Peterson or Brian Westbrook look like in pads and a helmet?
Why not appeal to the male dominated fantasy masses and have:
Her
And Her
Playing strip Poker on the cover?
ETA: Underneath them have the caption read: "Loser has to date Joey Harrington"

Most Deserved:
B. Westbrook: there is not one single player in the league that is as important to his team than Westbrook. He has as big of impact as any one player to his team including Manning, and Brady. Westbrook was the sole reason Philly was has been a competitive playoff team and was the main reason they came close to winning the SB. He is also a fantasy stud.
Gutsy Pick:
Michael Turner: This would be a gutsy pick, but he has the ability/skill level and opportunity to be a top 5-10 fantasy back and also is the new face of a franchise. He has been pimped on these boards by many for a long time and has the ability to be one of the most exciting RB's to watch in the league with his speed and bull dozing ability.
Cop out Choice:
Tom Brady and his record year.
Dark Horses:
-The SB MVP Eli Manning and his new found confidence can be a nice choice. Does he have the ability to turn that playoff run into consistent fantasy production???
-D. Anderson's breakout year could have him being a top fantasy QB for sometime to come.
Sophmore's with a chance:
Peterson and C. Johnson could make for nice picks.
WR flavour:
Colston is still one of the most underrated WR's outside of fantasy circles. This 24 year old already has 168 receptions, 2240 yards, and 19 TD's in only 30 games to start his career. He proved that his rookie year was no fluke and needs to be mentioned as one of the top WR's in the game.

Hrm, let me think a little.
I'll throw the random vote for Hou$h actually - he's been the real
for teams of mine for years now.
I like Braylon and think he's the real deal, but it's a bit daring to put a WR on there after just 1 big year.
Grant is a possibilty, esp. with the departure of Favre being a natural story line.
Turner woulda been a prime choice, but alas he's a Falcon now.
LT2 would be a classic approach and hell he ain't dead yet.
Brady, while an unpopular choice, would show off the current questioning of the stud RB theory.
Similarly an MJD/Taylor split cover (or pick anoter RBBC) would also highlight that same dilemma.
And with that, I'll make my own proposal...

Iirc, the idea wasn't to promote the obvious. The idea was for FBG to set itself apart and above the many mags that provide so much fluff. FBG is serious FF info.
I like the idea of Ryan Grant on the cover. Few realize just how high he ranked among RBs from his first start forward.
The Westbrook kneeldown would make an excellent cover too. He does deserve it, though promoting him is promoting the obvious... sort of. The kneeldown could make a great mag collectible years down the road and folks fondly remember that moment.
However. My number one choice is...
Patrick Willis. Promote those IDPs like never before. They are the future for serious FF. Be ahead of the curve. I think an LB on a fantasy cover is an interesting promotion that could increase sales. People pay me for these kinds of ideas. Willis is the perfect image for the idea. I bet half the buyers of off the shelf FF mags have a small idea about IDP and are interested. You steal sales from Index and Athlon with this type of thinking. Do you lose sales from your loyal base? No.

you deserve a high five for that ideal. What about a mug shot of the FBG's top ranked players at each position for the upcoming season.For instance:
QB: Manning
RB: Westbrook
WR: Wayne
TE: Gates
PK: Folk
LB: Willis
DE: Allen
CB: McGee
S: Sanders
DT: Haye
Make it look like a class picture and call it the fab 10 and the coach (teacher) would be whoever they predicted to be coach of the year.
Not a bad choice, but I'm going to say Steve Smith as the cover-boy as one of the bigger boom-or-bust picks around..
