That probably tied for the weirdest Fantasy Football Draft I've ever been in. (The other one was some years ago, when Shoe drafted the Carolina kicker in the first round, and then proceeded to draft the rest of the Panthers.) I don't know why the computer would autodraft for Angry like that!
Thanks to THE ULTIMATE LEAGUE though!

I can see this Michael Sam situation making me severely vexed...
So none of the Bad defenses out there want him either? not even on their practice squad? Dallas? Jacksonville? Washington? Indi?
Or even the teams that put a big emphasis on Dline? Jets? Giants? Detroit? Tennessee?
I'll give them all the benifit of the doubt but to say this doesn't reek of homophobia even in the slightest is foolish

I don't agree with it but I understand.
As a head coach in the NFL your job is always tenuous at best. If you sign Sam and the media attention distracts your team and you end up losing you could easily be out of a job.
It's pretty much bullshit but I can at least kind of understand the thought process behind it.

Breaking: Raiders players have been informed that the team is making the switch at QB and starting Derek Carr over Matt Schaub
33 years old and can't even start for the Raiders. I think this is the end of Starting QB Matt Schaub :[
I'm a little worried about putting so much pressure on a rookie, but given how good he's been looking I can't argue. I do feel pretty bad for Schaub though.

That was a close one, we almost broke the streak of at least 1 rookie QB starting week 1. It's a shame the Jet's d-line is going to eat him alive, so they'll never know how good he might be now.
Secrets, lies, and tragedy. The trifecta.

"Attention" is an excuse. They are professional sports franchises. They want attention, particularly good media attention.
What they don't want is anything associated with The Gay. Either because they are afraid of a homophobic backlash or they themselves are homophobic and feel that merely being gay somehow construes "negative" attention. Much like, say, beating your wife. Or having a racist team name. Or being a moron and yelling, "BOMB!" in airport security.
i drafted last night and got qb: brady, locker. demaryius thomas, julio jones, larry fitzgerald, crabtree, edelman, and justin hunter for wr's. running backs i got andre ellington, ridley, ahmad bradshaw, terrance west, and blount.

So my money keeper league decided behind my back to not have keepers this year. I had such a huge amount of great players on my previous (championship) season that they didn't feel that it would be fair to let me keep three of them. They came together and drew lots out of a hat and I ended up with the first pick. This is the team I assembled at our draft.
Matthew Stafford
Phillp Rivers
Alshon Jeffrey
Andre Johnson
Jordy Nelson
Jamaal Charles
DeMarco Murray
Le'veon Bell
Ben Tate
Luke Kuechly
Karlos Dansby
Jerrell Freeman
Daryl Smith
DeAndre Levy
Gostkowski
Those are my starters. This is my less exciting bench.
Antrel Rolle
Eric Decker
Cecil Shorts III
Zach Ertz
DeAndre Hopkins
Vick (lol)
This is a 2 QB, PPR, and IDP league.
I'm going to crush them again and make them eat the money they'll owe me.

Make sure to put some nuts on that money, just to add some flavor.

to be fair, when tebow was in this spot, pretty much everyone agreed that selling jerseys doesn't, and shouldn't, factor in to it
that being said, i do hope Sam finds somewhere to land. he's a good dude.

you can handle sugar-coating a 4-12 season to season ticket holders but not silly shower questions
At least the scotch was good.

I need a RB, Angry. Let's work out a deal.
Come on down, sale of the century!
I only have one starter at QB right now(Matt Ryan)
I'm a little worried about putting so much pressure on a rookie, but given how good he's been looking I can't argue. I do feel pretty bad for Schaub though.
