in 2007 my friend drafted curtis martin in the 1st round, 2 years after he retired, and a decade after he played for NE, which was the reason he knew the name. 2nd round he drafted tom brady. brady had a decent year and my friend won that league.
to be fair, i question why curtis martin was still on the system to draft, but even so.

I think they keep "stars" around in the machinery for a couple seasons so they're available in case they un-retire. see: Tony Gonzalez, Brett Favre, etc.

devin hester or golden tate at WR 3?
― Mordy, Thursday, 2 October 2014 03:02 (nine years ago) link
this is a league that counts return yards which makes hester plausible
― Mordy, Thursday, 2 October 2014 03:25 (nine years ago) link
gotta go with hester in that case

DAMMIT

I didn't watch MNF, but I just read Percy Harvin had THREE tds nullified by penalty. FUCK FUCK FUCK if even one of them would've counted, it would be a win.
God I hate fantasy football.

wait a day and see what the numbers shake out as. short victories like that often get erased by stat correction.

You may be right, but I haven't blown up with rage about anything else today. I had to find something.

Hey for next season I think we should maybe consider tinkering with the pt values for receiving yds/receptions and return yds. right now that a random return dude who gets 130 return yds is way more valuable than a WR who gets 130 receiving yds off of 8 receptions for example.
Or for another example I was just looking at my team and spiller had a pathetic 19 rushing yds and 50+ return yds, and he scored more pts for me than reed at TE, who had 8 catches for 92 yds. Not trying to rock the boat, and maybe it was discussed before and I missed it. And maybe there's a totally defensible reason for the way it is (I mean I kinda do like having random return dudes be heroes for a day.). I'm just putting it out there for 2015.

Jeff Saturday: I'd never call him myself to bug him, because I'd hate to call in any friendly favors, but hopefully this article gets back to him so he knows I need him to throw it to Double-8s out there -- maybe 20-plus points or so? My team needs to pick it up, so that'd help a lot.
It's funny, though, in my year with the Packers I was in a fantasy league with the rest of the offensive line.
Berry: Wait ... you played while you were still in the league? That's hilarious. Any other Packers on the team or was it just the offensive line? You ever try to influence anything for your fantasy team?
Saturday: We didn't let anybody else in the league. It was our thing, you know? Just a good way for our position group to have fun together. But I had Aaron Rodgers on my team. So in the huddle sometimes I'd say, "Hey, we don't need to run the ball here, let's make sure we throw it in. My team needs some points!"
Berry: That is fantastic. Did Rodgers ever listen to you?
Saturday: Nah, he never would. This is our business we're talking about. But we did have fun with that league.

I won't be running the league next year, btw. Coupled with growing disinterest in the NFL and my poor fantasy track record, I just don't care enough anymore.

hope you change your mind but thanks for taking care of it to this point either way
