    Sports talk today has been pretty insufferable, because whenever this is brought up, hordes of callers report that "She was dressed too provocatively, should have expected it." Aka, the sickening "askin' for it" defense. Alternately, the only slightly less-sickening "This is why we shouldn't have women reporters in the locker room, because how else do you expect a man to act?".

    Fucking man-children.

    The reporter was on CNN. She said she didn't really care about the incident. Apparently the "story" is a result ofother reporters at the practice field getting all offended about the "harassment" on her behalf.

    So in addition to all the other dumb shit we get from the sports media they've decided to start white knighting as well.

    Wonderful.

    I think that's the guys who should move on.

    Faulk, Carter and Sanders are locks. Willie Roaf and Fred Smerlas should be too, but they won't be.

    And no kicker or punter should get in before Ray Guy.

    Agreed, but I'd love to see The Field Mouse (Sam Mills) in along with Roaf. With Rickey Jackson already in, it'd put three of the best players in Saints history in the Hall.

    aaah, now this is what gets my blood boiling

    - on my accepted roddy white/peyton manning trade (that got vetoed)

    "Yeah, I personally didn't veto the trade to *****. I did veto the trade to jake cus jake's team would then be stacked with a #1 RB and #3 QB. Sorry jake, roddy doesnt cut it in mine and others eyes."

    The trade he refers to was Addai and Anquan for Peyton. Apparently Anquan and Addai "cut it", but Roddy White doesn't. So he doesn't veto the clearly worse, less fair trade, but vetos mine, because he thinks I get too good. that's not the point of vetoing guys

    I see what you're doing there!

    No, the point is preventing one team from being good and another from becoming shit. In the trade he was proposed, he would gain an upgrade at QB and his trade partner would gain a massive upgrade at WR without suffering at QB (I think the guy's other QB is like Brady or Rodgers or something insane like that). Both teams would benefit.

    To prevent collusion. It's not meant for "Wah, your team improves from this trade, I'm vetoing." Teams are supposed to improve from trades, just like they're supposed to improve from waiver wire pickups. Granted, it doesn't always happen, but that's the intent.

    If a league feels a trade is collusive enough to warrant a veto, that's basically 1 step from kicking an owner out of the league altogether. A veto is either calling out 2 owners for conspiring with each other to improve 1 team, or accusing one of the trading owners of no longer competing in good faith. Short of welshing on league fees, those are pretty much the worst things you can do in a fantasy league.

    exactly. if anything, the other owners are using the veto as a means of colluding against our two teams. refusing to let him trade his excess qb, and refusing to allow me to improve my team. oh well, the commish just bumped the number of vetoers needed from 4 to 6, and judging from the amount of people who don't check the league until sundays i'm semi-confident the next attempt with go through.

    I don't know how, but the Ray Guy for HOF movement really needs some more publicity. He's the single greatest punter ever and last I checked punter was a position in the NFL. Sadly I think a punt to win the Super Bowl is what it's going to take to get him in. Elam and Vinatieri will be in before Guy.

    Wait, what? Roddy and Peyton are both 2nd round material, while Addai/Boldin are 4th/5th round material. That's a terrible trade that got accepted.

    How do your league members view that as fair D:

    Because I saw that on one play with the Broncos I think and no one seemed to call him on it so...what the hell?

    Did he grab and drag the defender down?
    For the most part a ball carrier can stiff arm a face mask of an oncoming tackler.

    Nah he was just holding on to it so the defender could not get any closer. Which seems a bit unfair to me because how the hell are you supposed to tackle someone when he's got your head stuck away from him?

    Expendables, I'm willing to trade Reggie Wayne or Austin Collie for another W/R or Flex..

    Who on my team would you like for Collie? I'm open to trading any reciever besides naanee and jennings, and also trading jonathan stewart

    So Owen Daniels was dropped in my league, and I'm starting Chris Cooley right now. Thoughts on adding him? He was a top TE last season before going down to injury, but there's also the presence of Arian Foster who I assume will take away some production from Andre and potentially Owen.

    If not Cooley, I would probably drop Maroney? (Spiller, Ward, Matt Cassel for 2 QB slots, TB Mike Williams, Gaffney and Peyton Hillis make up the rest of my bench).

    The only time it's legal to latch onto a facemask is if it's attached to Aaron Rodgers helmet.

    a runner can stiff arm a defender in the facemask but he's not allowed to grab it, obviously that's hard to tell but grabbing onto it isn't a huge advantage to the runner anyway since the idea is to get away from the guy not drag him along with you.

    It was Arian Foster of the Texans.

    http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/09000d5d81a78c1e/Foster-gets-200-plus-yards-three-TDs

    If you look at the second play in this video at the end of his run he's clearly grabbing and holding on to the defender's facemask.

    That's what I was talking about.
