  • Well I got completely fdueck in the arse. I could have let my son draft a team and it would have been better. Half the time it wouldn't let me select and the other half it would select for me. I did pick McCoy, Shady type and Schaub. Other than that well my team sucks. Kenny freakin Britt??? These jokers need to be called the Anal Warts...

  • I got no prob with it. I think he wins out just for the fact that Jennings stays healthy.

    Nope. Trade away fellas.

    I really hope the mess that happened earlier prevents people from making trades. I feel responsible for the whole thing really, and I've decided I'm not gonna veto or gripe about any other trades...unless it's blatant unloading or cheating.

  • This thread is for the one that I am going to win too, right? I thought the draft was later. I would've made it, but the girlfriend pretty much f***ed that up.

    Yeah, it's for all 3 leagues. . . As long as you actually put in a roster every week this year josh, we will be happy, and don't dump any players to someone in like week 10 after not even checking the site for like 2 months, lol

    I think pretty much everyone in all three of our leagues is into trading, so start firing out some reasonable offers and I'm sure you can find something. . .

  • So since this thread is all about fantasy football, I wonder if you gents would be so kind as to help me with a trade offer in another league. It's a PPR league, and I'm really torn on this one.

    I trade: D. McFadden, Stevie Johnson and Collie
    He trades: Greg Jennings, A. Bradshaw, Fred Jackson

    I already have Charles, Nicks and Calvin Johnson. I just like having Jennings (as Brad can tell lol). Plus I'm worried about injury risks with the guys I'm offering. However, the ones I have there are all high risk/high reward guys while the ones I'd be getting are just consistent good players to have.

    I'm thinking I'll reject the trade. But since my league leans towards PPR and receiving yards, Jennings would make my WR core way good. I just can't imagine trading away DMC like that. So what you guys think? lol

    Having had that class, I will say, just find a way to get through it and you will never have to worry about it ever again. . .lol. . . I hated that class and dropped it twice before I finally finished it. . . So seriously my suggestion is just suck it up for a few weeks do what they ask and then move on. . . Not gonna be fun

  • I like DMC as well but let's remember stevie is #1 this year and usually when a guy goes from 2 to 1 his #s fall of a bit the first year. Plus I would almost bet my life collie doesn't make it a full year. Jennings however is a beast and now that driver is basically a # 3 receiver its Jennings time to shine. I don't care for the other two picks either but I wouls see about maybe a collie Johnson for jennings trade. If he won't do that I would stand pat for a while.

    just guessing I'd say the guys entire purpose in that trade is to acquire DMc. . . but you never know. . .

    Yeah, he's completely after DMC. He has Turner and Bradshaw as his two backs, and absolutely no one on his bench except for F. Jackson RB-wise. So he wants an upgrade there. So DMC is the make it or break it hinge pin.

    And that's why I can't find myself trading away DMC. I also have Bush on my bench, so technically I could trade DMC, gain Jennings and end up hoping for DMC to get hurt (lol) so I have Bush as the main back in Oakland. That would be sweet, but I can't hold out for that.

    Yeah, I teach it. The first few weeks I'm usually trying to get students involved. In a public speaking/communication course, it is crucial that students learn to communicate openly and effectively. I, like most professors I know, give participation points heavily. So my best advice the first few weeks is to participate and speak as often as possible in class. The more you speak, the better I think of you, and the easier the class will get for you. Remember first impressions are very important, and if the professor starts off thinking you communicate well in class, he/she will subconsciously rate you better on your later speeches.

    Other than that, you'll have at least 3 (usually) speeches to prepare throughout the semester on various topics. So just get ready to stand and talk in front of the entire class a lot lol

    Thanks, Derek! Appreciate the pointers. This is gonna suck, haha, simply because I don't speak a lot unless spoken to.

  • Cliffnotes for Public Speaking:

    -eye contact with multiple people during the speech
    -speak about someone in the class personally (if you know them), it gets the audience attention.
    -talk about something that you enjoy and will catch the audiences attention (the best speech I heard in that class was a straight guy talking about how Full House was the best show ever because of John Stamos' hair.)
    -avoid fillers like like and um (take a breath and look at your notes if you need to)
    -picture all of the hot girls in their underwear.

    Do all of these and you will pass with flying colors.

  • If I miss another freaking draft I will shoot someone, I've got the crappiest roster I've ever seen, MJD in Round One? Hells Teeth.

    I apologise for not making another one guys, I've spent most of the last few days in bed, ate something dodgy (no idea what, could be anything here lol) and wasn't there again :(:(

  • BTW, just so you all know, I'm perrinial loser in Eric's free league. This is my first time doing FF. I only made the last 5 picks last night. I haven't even heard of most of my team. Good luck to all of ya, but mostly me.
