The Paddock

Sorry I missed it guys. I got word about an hour before the draft that my grandmother had a heart attack. I was getting ready to go meet my family at the hospital, but as I was leaving, I received another call saying she passed away. Right now... we are just waiting on the arrangements to be made.

Sorry to hear the news JJ. I don't know the exact circumstances, and I know often death can come as a blessing, but it's still difficult to lose loved ones.

Prayers sent for you and the family.

By working in a nursing home, I see death all the time and there is a very real difference in the families who have hope and those who have despair. I'm thankful and rejoice with you that your family knows the peace that that hope brings.

Oh, BTW. I just went back and read pages 22-25 of this thread.......That is hilarious. BIG REASON why I had declared BB4L "dead" months ago, as far as I was concerned.

It was obvious to me that he had not gotten enough love from Mommy and Daddy as a child and was pimping for attention now. I simply refused to give in to his "cries" for help.

Let me just say two things:

1) Damn fun draft, guys. That was my favorite draft of the year, and as I've said, will maybe end up being my favorite league this year (unless I win in the money league lol).

2) Very sorry to hear about your loss, JJ. Very sorry. Thoughts and prayers are with you guys.

Sorry to hear of your loss JJ. Sounds like a great innings though!

Had the first of my pay leagues here in Saigon draft tonight, I'm gonna put up my team, I want to see how you guys think I did! Its a 12 team traditional league, QB touchdowns are 4 points, not six! I picked the no.12 slot!

QB Matt Stafford
WR Andre Johnson
WR Calvin Johnson
Flex WR/RB Shonn Greene
RB Felix Jones
RB Ahmad Bradshaw
TE Jimmy Graham
D/ST Pats
K Lawrence Tynes

Bench: Joseph Addai, Isaac Redman, Deiji Karim, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Lance Kendricks, Julio Jones, Malcolm Floyd, Nate Burleson

My draft order was A Johnson/C Johnson/F Jones/A Bradshaw/Shonn Greene/M Stafford (my only reach but I didn't think he would be there 23 picks later)/Jimmy Graham/Joseph Addai/Julio Jones/Malcolm Floyd/R Fitzpatrick/Pats D/D Karim/Nate Burleson/Lance Kendricks/Isaac Redman/Tynes

Thanks to everyone for your kind words... but don't think for a second that I'm not out for blood in these FF leagues. Grandma is rooting for me.

Seriously, thanks to everyone... NOW BACK TO FOOTBALL!!!

Oh yeah, and you drafted Mike Vrabel with your last pick, lol, he retired last month. . .

I need some help on a trade fellas...

I get:
Austin Miles and DMC

I give up:
Matt Forte
Dwayne Bowe
Plaxico Burris
(I'm trying to work Julio Jones in place of Plax!

What say you?
DMC is injury prone but I worry about Forte's TD opportunities with Barber there now.

I appreciate the suggestions or opinions guys. Lol thanks alot. :-P

I checked out the projections for Forte vs DMC, and I was surprised that Forte is projected for more points then DMC almost every week. You think Forte could have a better year?

appreciate your opinion on my draft above :P

is it a PPR league? if so I wouldnt give up Forte personally!
