No Mutants Allowed

The Saints will do fine this year. I might even take Brees early in the draft as my QB.

And I'll still win the title for a third time.

They're still good for 10 wins, but the Payton loss stings. His game calling alone is worth 1-2 wins. I don't think the Vilma loss will be that bad, but bummer for him. One of my favorite LBs since he came out of the U, even liked him as a Jet. NFL needs to be more transparent, because that seems way too harsh without knowing the dirt they've got on him. I hope Vilma makes a stink, the NFL is way too sanctified these days, they need a Jose Canseco type, who, despite being an immense scumbag, occasionally cut through all the PR and CYA-ish-ness to the essence of what is really going on.

They better get the damned Brees contract taken care of already. He gets more leverage every day. I don't understand why there would be any hesitation in the first place.

I'll be interested to see how Nick Toon fares. I'd compare his upside potential to James Jones from the Packers -- a big, strong receiver with good hands but occasional infuriating problems with drops. Not that fast but fast enough. A solid 2 or very good 3.

He was injury-prone at the UW, though.

Just love where they're going to take this with the lawsuit and where it ends. When your commissioner is this high-profile, shit just ain't right.
I don't get what Junior Seau has to do with this either, except that he's universally loved. Nobody gave a shit when a repugnant cheap shot artist like Andre Waters killed himself - not good enough of a poster boy to push the agenda to the safety obsessed bougies. So let's ignore personal responsibility, cover our asses and all lawyer up, cause everyone needs to carve out their piece of the pie.
Shit, we wouldn't want the people who watch the NFL for the commercials to be made uncomfortable.

Gronk locked up until 2019 - it's almost not fair.

Glad to see Mr. Patriot himself get into their HOF. Bingo!

Little unexpected. I can't remember the Pats extending someone with only two years under his belt, before?

But good move, yeah.

Post FF NFL is like something out of Idiocracy with the ubiquitous crawls, the commercialism etc. The worst part is the experts who don't know squat about anything but individual players, it's bizzaro. Overemphasis of loser stat whores over defense and team players, just stoopit.
It's not even football, or a simulation of it, or anything approximating how a team is assembled or managed. It's this weird geeky parasite that gives the illusion of...I don't know what, interactivity for Generation ADD.
Is there anything worse than players actually acknowledging how their performance translated into FF? WTF is that?

that's exactly what I said.

before they recruited me into their fantasy league a few years ago.

ps

what I always thought would be cool is if a player on a winning team got, like, a 10% bump in his stats, or something like that.
or the reverse for a loser.

Sure, if enough people want to play, I'll just renew the league and hand commishionership to Sander. I'm not taking part, tho, I really need a break from fantasy football.
