Well any Seahawks receiver value just went down.
[/quote]

Could they get any lower?

Actually I don't mind big Mike Williams. The guy is good in PPR leagues. He needs to get in the Redzone more. But Pete's got him playing pretty well.

I have high hopes for Golden Tate, but not enough to warrant a draft pick.

As a backup TE sitting on your bench lol. I won't touch Carlson until waivers this season.

I remember getting Carlson as my backup TE last year, with the hope of getting a steal of a starter.... I was flat out wrong. I've given up on Carlson, plain and simple. I used him as a trade bait along with Michael Bush and got me some good players. I was very glad to clean my hands of him.

Same thing with Crabtree. The last 2 years, I drafted Crabtree as a 4th reciever and had hopes he could become at the very least a number 3 reciever..... and again, I was wrong. Never touching him again, unless its very very cheap.

Last year in this ESPN league I drafted Crabtree expecting him to become a #2 receiver behind Calvin Johnson. He never even saw the lineup because luckily I drafted Nicks, Santana Moss, Dwayne Bowe, Floyd and I picked up V-Jax off the waiver late.

[Wacko4Zacko]

I cant believe I released vjax last year. ugh...

My league I now Commish is pretty, umm, dumb when it comes to fantasy football. Here's my final team from last year:

Qb) Rodgers
Rb) Foster
RB2) MJD
WR1) Andre Johnson
WR2) Calvin Johnson
WR3) Greg Jennings
TE) Mix of Gates (as he was hurt later in the year), Daniels, and Tamme (usually my starter)
Flex1) Mike Williams- Bucs version
Flex2) Miles Austin
Flex3) Blount
Bench) Earl Bennett, Marques Colston, Green-Ellis, Vincent Jackson, Rashad Jennings, Sidney Rice, Roethlisberger (don't get mad, I stay neutral in fantasy football, and I needed a capable Qb to play for me when Rodgers had a concussion), Torain
DEF) Chi
K) Matt Bryant
D) Willis

I'll give ya'll a 100 bucks on the spot if you gave me this team from last year.... LOL

But more than Bryant did.... LOL. I loved Jackson as he came on in the fantasy playoffs, so I named him my clutch player of the year!

He needs to because I probably will be making the same mistakes he did because I'm over aggressive, so I need to take his spot, so like in baseball, I take his plate and he takes second.... LOL

[T-ray]

I have already told Romo this, and he's ok with it, so I'll just go ahead and make it official on here..... there has been too much that has come up on my schedule and will be coming up on my schedule for me to be active and competitive like I need to be and desire to be in anything I do in life. I will not only have two leagues I have to do (my own and my family's), but I have work, college, and family/friend events to do. I just didn't want to leave you all hanging at the last second, so I decided to tell you before its even a month from draft time. This league is highly reputable so I have no doubts that you all will be able to find someone to take my spot; and possibly that person could be better than I am. Of course, I will still converse with you all and talk fantasy with you all from time to time, so don't think I'm ditching ya'll haha.

Sorry again guys.

[Romo Ravens]

Thanks T-ray for letting us know.. That means that I need one more person to make it 12. I've sent messages to about 4 people so far, but if anyone reads this before they reply, the spot is yours.

I felt like deleting the league as soon as Wacko confessed.

Idk but the process of finding someone has been started, and I will assist in it if needed. But like Romo said, messages have been sent out to 4 people, so it shouldn't take that long to find someone willing and able to do it.

That would be awesome! Could you get the 'real' Bobby Sippio to join our league?

Besides why are you quiting? This league wasn't the most active league last year. As long as you can set your lineup you'll be set.

We're changing that this year lol. I'm going to be on top of it

Ok, we're fine now. -Truth- is in.

LOL my good friend Bobby Sippio said he'd be glad to join anytime, but only with one term: he could draft himself. Hahahahaha

And I'm quitting because I feel I can't be my motto in the league: competitive, aggressive, and active. If I can't do those things in anything I do, then I don't think I should take it on. I will be too busy with college, work, and the two other leagues I'll be in, not counting family/friend time.

Great deal! I know for sure that he will be active, competitive, and agressive in the league. Thats just the kind of guy he is. I feel you made the right decision on this Romo, even though Sippio still wants to play.... LOL

What the rest of the members don't get to have a panel interview with -truth- to see if he fits our needs? Is he a 14 year old pretending to be 18? What special talents does he posses?

[Ed_Reed20]

[b]Truth[/b], I'm sorry, but you're going down.

[Romo Ravens]

We have some Veteran's of the board in this league. I'm liking it. It's too bad though for T-ray. You were pumped brotha!

Yeah man, and it kinda sucks, but its the only thing I knew to do. I want to keep my priorities straight and also give you all someone who has time to dominate like I thought I had time to do, but ended up wrong. Like I said, I'll still be talking with you all and keeping up with the league news from time to time, but not on a weekly basis probably.

Take care of my boy, Wacko, haha!!

[Romo Ravens]

I've been thinking about it for some time now, and if you guys want to be really competitive this year, ESPN has the option to change the league into a money league. It's safe and secure, and I was thinking that everyone could throw in 5 or 10 dollars, then divide the earnings to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd places winners. Just a thought. I think that could be really fun. We're all adults here (I think).

I didn't know you could do that. Would you need a card to do it? I mean I have a debit card so I could do it but I'm not sure if everyone in our league has a card...not to mention names....

But I'm always down to feed the little gambling troll inside of me.
