only fun if im winning

haha

What banter?



About the ban on USC and A-Rod getting the Pac 10 ring from Clay?



The better banter was with Darren Sharper and Shiancoe. Sharper said something about X marks the spot on Favre's ankle for the first game, Shiancoe took exception and after some back and forth posted a picture of a Osama Bin-Laden poster on a shooting range with a speech bubble saying "i'm Darren Sharper". Sharper took exception and has promised to go after Shaincoe and to protect his neck.





I'm already preparing for the draft. I did last year and it got me by with only 2 defeats (admittedly 1 was in the first knock out game!!), got some sleepers in my back pocket but i'm not going to release my plans!

About a week after its already broke









I think I was 4-10

=#8000FFSame happened with the league I was in last year

They all had a laugh at me when I took Vincent Jackson & Ochocinco in the 3rd & 4th round...worked out well

Ended up with Matt Ryan, AP, V. Jackson, Ochocinco, Dallas Clark in that team.

John Henderson to the Raiders. I wouldnt be surprised to see us challenge the Chargers for the AFC West after the offseason we've had.

I actually think you may win it. It's all very un-Raiders like. Has Weird Al been seen in public recently? I seriously doubt he is running the show with how good you've been.

what time will the draft be?? i work 4pm till 2am monday-friday and dont want too miss it

The draft is scheduled for 4pm on Sunday July 18th.

should be able to regsiter tomorrow Vendetta.

Did you not move it forward a week?

Would it be a major pain in the to ask if it can be moved forward a couple of hours? I won't be able to make a live draft at 4pm on a Sunday

I already mentioned that I'm out of the country and don't get back until late on the 18th.



I think we're playing on the following Sunday at 3pm the next weekend so I wouldn't be able to make that unless the draft was put back a few hours either

im easy with any time on a sunday

4pm is the earliest it'll let me do for a Sunday, it wont let me delay by a couple of hours now either, possibly to do with server loads.

We beat Chester 7 - 0 today, our TD coming inside the 4th Quarter two minute warning.



Rain would be awesome to play in if my Cutters maintained any form of grip.

I know a guy at Chester who wasn't playing today, coming to play uni ball for us next season though. Said he's gutted at the result.

How boring are all these contract disputes. I understand players wanting to get paid but not turning up or pulling out of camps is pathetic.

Agreed. You signed the contract. You know how much your going to be paid each year. You should play it out and earn a bigger contract for when that one ends.



I can sort of understand, but still i disagree generally, with mid to late round draft picks who are usually on rookie contracts but go on to become excellent players.

I won last year





Im targetting Darius Heywood-Bay in the 1st round

The market dictates what you're worth.



If you see someone else no better than you in the same position getting paid by another team, you're going to wonder why you're not making that sort of money.



The only recourse you've got is to withdraw your labour for a part of the season that really isn't all that important anyway (OTAs and minicamps), so why not?

It's difficult to disagree with what you say (although i think minicamps are important) but if you sign the contract then you should play it out. Your well aware of what your going to be paid each year, if you don't think it matches your performance/quality level then don't sign it to begin with. If you then earn it 99% of teams will reward you with a higher contract next time or you'll be able to find a deal you like in FA.



Players can't have it both ways. They want the security of long contracts with gazillions of dollars but that offers no protection to teams.



Some of the contract requests are ridiculous.



Chris Johnson, brilliant RB that he is, i've read wants to be the highest paid NFL player. Play the rest of your contract and prove you can do it year on year then you might get what you want. Even then he's deluded into thinking he is that important when he isn't. He was in the team when they went 0-6 then VY came and they came good and his YPA went up.



Darrell Revis wants Nnamdi money. He doesn't deserve it. Firstly the Nnamdi contract is ridiculous as it is and secondly he has been the best cover corner in the NFL for only one season (Woodson is the best overall player at CB and Nnamdi is still up there because nobody throws to him), he needs to prove it for at least another year because other than the year just gone he's been merely above average. Until that point i wouldn't consider giving him Nnamdi money and the Jets agree. I believe they have offered him a contract with no guaranteed money, which if he is as good as he thinks he is wouldn't pose a problem for him to meet all the incentives.



The same goes for Packers players but thankfully we don't have many contract disputes.

Asomugha is the best cover corner. Woodson had a very good year.

Can't really argue because Aso is ridiculously good but what Revis did this year was brilliant.



Asomugha is argubably the best because QB's simply don't throw at him. He's that good. He was only thrown at 27 times with 13 completions while making 34 tackles (8 for a loss) and 1 INT this year.



While they are great Revis was really good against some of the best recievers with QB's throwing to him. He held Moss to 4 receptions to 24 yards, Andre Johnson to 4 for 35 yards, Colston to 2 for 28, Steve Smith (Carolina)to 1 for 5, Owens to 44 in 2 games and Ochocinco to 0 and got 6 INT's. The Jets as a whole only conceeded 8 passing TD's all year.



It's a toss up and i'd love to have either partnering Woodson. Aso rightfully relies on his reputation and doesn't get thrown at while Revis did extremely well being targetted. I'd imagine he'll go the way of Aso next year with QB's not willing to throw to him.



Woodson was brilliant. He can cover but not as well as those two, because he isn't asked to. He is the playmaker and a far better tackler than those two. You can leave those two on players and let them do nothing but Woodson moves around and looks after them all. He covered Witten for example when we played Dallas. He is the better playmaker and better all around player than those two.

Albert Haynesworth is another player taking the p!ss,gets $36million in bonuses the since signing last year and now wants a trade.If I was Shanahan i'd say give us the money back or you're going nowhere.

More for v for vendetta than anyone else
