AP, if you need a quarterback, I just released Bertt Farve. Good luck with that.

Thanks for reminding me.  I picked up Flacco and had not put him as a starter yet.  The game is tomorrow so I might have forgot.  The Falcons have a bottom of the league pass defence.  I am also counting on Jay Cutler to suck and the Vikings to sack him and pick him off a bunch.

I have a choice of either Ryan or Flacco in my other league. I'm going with Ryan. Either way, he'll be mediocre. If I play Flacco, he'll throw five picks, but if I sit him, he'll throw five TDs.
I also have Baltimore's defense. Makes for an interesting night.

Here's a great gem from America's preeminent football writer:

Great Thursday game this week, the 6-2 Falcons and the 6-2 Ravens in Atlanta. The way the NFL schedule works -- assuming the format doesn't change in the new collective bargaining agreement -- Flacco and Ryan, should they stay on their same teams for the next decade, would meet in years three (this year), seven and 11. How odd, and sad, would it be if these good, young quarterbacks faced each other only three non-Super Bowl times?

Time to retire, Pete.

Free agency's open until the end of the season.

So why is it that sometimes when I try to claim a FA I have to spend "money", and other times I don't?

King wrote an entire column without ripping the Raiders? I figured he'd throw in a shot about Chester McGlockton being overweight, just for old time's sake.

And now the "coach" is whining about his injuries Another 102 years of this and we'll be the Cubbies.

This doesn't have anything to do with this thread, but Windy's comment about the whining coach made me think of it--anyone else see the ESPN 30 for 30 on Marcus Dupree?  Very interesting and sad story.  I always thought Barry Switzer was a Grade A prick, but how much of an asshole to you have to be to blame a bowl game loss on a kid who endures 4 separate injuries, still manages to play half the game, and amasses 239 yards rushing on 17 carries?

I got almost 20 points out of Flacco...Not bad.  It started out pretty crappy.

Jesus AP.  I know you said your team plays shitty defense, but 170+ to Artie.  Seriously???

Since AP was dormi, I was thinking about benching McCoy and Vick last night on the highly remote chance they'd combine for five turnovers and I'd pull defeat out of the jaws of victory, but I decided to roll the dice.
I've never seen a fantasy player put up 49 points in a week. That's an average season for Kerry Collins.
