Trail Talk Fantasy Football League

“Don't the players get hummers from the cheerleaders?”

“I think that only happens in Fantasy League fantasies.”

“Yah, in the real world, they have strippers for that kind of thing.”

“As commissioner of this league, I hereby proclaim Artex as the league fluffer.”

“I'm going to regret this, but I joined the league.

'Da Losas'


AND the bad news is that I'll be hiking during the draft!!

See, I told ya I'd regret it.”

“Don't worry, we'll make sure your taken care of in the draft......”

“That's what I'm afraid of !!

LOL”

“Hee, hee, fresh meat.”

“Introducing......at quarterback.....for da losas,,,

the veteran who doesnt know how to quit.........


Mr. MDS first round choice ”

“He can Terrel Davis for all I care.

OK, the league is full. 12 managers, a couple I've never heard of. Probably joined when I went public with the league. I asked for them to be backpackers if they join. With that said... The Draft order has been finalized by a click of a button. The randomizer. Go check your positon by clicking on the link for "Draft Results" and get that beer nice and cold. You're gonna need it. Sorry Chili and Artex. Bwahahahahaahahahahahahaha.”

“OHHH...FIRST PICK!!!!”

“I understand. Because I have been annointed by the football god as a high priest, you guys handicapped me by giving me the last pick in the first round.”

“who ya gonna pick chili?..maybe we can trade my first round for your 2nd and 3rd...lmao”

“Yeah, okay, I'll pick 10th in the first round and still make each of you weep with envy.

See you guys Sunday.”

“I can't divulge such a secret, Opie. However, I imagine that QB's will be in short supply by the 12th pick.”

“yea,..but getting faulk first is damn tempting..or kurt”

“@(!*$^!...my internet has been out at home since saturday...good thing i set up my pre-rankings..but i wanted to fiddle with it live and jump on pple that might have been fun to watch”

“I decided that the trout in the Little Red were just waiting to be caught (and they were).

Missed the draft, not overly disappointed with the QB situation, but I missed the boat on the RB's.”

“So....which big name player do you think will be injured first this season?

I feel it's gonna be Garcia, F. Taylor, or Ricky Williams.”

“Ok, I hate to say worst pick so... Who do you think has the most "peculiar" pick?

I'll say Opie's pick of Wuerffel in the 2nd round. Followed by Phaedrus' (Ouchies) pick of T. Gonzalez in the 3rd. What are thinking man!?!?”

“Gonzalez is just like having another WR, he gets a lot of passes thrown his way.. I thought it was a pretty smart pick on Phaedrus' part.

As for Wuerffel.. even though we're both Gators and actually had many classes together (same major), I never would have picked him.. that move's a headscratcher, don't know why Sir Opie had him so high up on the list.”

“Phaed does have nice looking team but I have never seen Gonzalez go THAT early. I could see him as a 4th possibly. Phaed definitely started a run for the few standout TE's soon after.

And you, what's up with picking Urlacher so damn early? You guys banging each other?”

“I don't understand any of this.”

“OPIE's net was down last night and they picked his team from his pre-pick. Blame me for Wuerffel. I'm the one that told him to pick him. He's playing under Spurier again this season and so far he has had a pretty good pre-season.”

“flyguy, I don't either. :)”

“The reason for picking Urlacher so early was to get a head start on landing solid defensive players while the majority of other folks were concentrating on their offenses. Urlacher put up huge fantasy numbers last year.. the dude is insane.”

“Miss Opie is the Director of Personnel for Opie's team.”

“RATING THE QB'S Despite not playing against Tampa Bay last week, quarterback Danny Wuerffel, who is scheduled to start against New England, leads the NFC in pre-season passer rating with a 117.4 rating. Wuerffel has completed 63.4% of his passes with four touchdowns and one interception. Shane Matthews is currently 14th in the NFC in passer rating with a 82.0 mark and a 61.9 completion percentage.”

“Good explaination, MO,,,,,,but it is still a "strange" pick.”

“Watch Weurffel end up bringing the Redskins to the Superbowl.. Opie will be laughing his arse off.”

“The key phrase in Miss Opie's explanation: "pre-season passer rating". When the real season starts I think those numbers go out the window. Plus, didn't Spurrier play musical QB's in college? Don't see him changing now.”

“If that happens, maybe Miss Opie will get promoted and she won't have to carry his gear anymore. LOL.”

“Wuerffel did great in college under Spurier. Does anyone remember the 1997 National Championship game?”

“From the Sporting News(8/24): We think he's still the team's No. 1 quarterback, but that would only make him worth a late-round gamble.

From Fanball.com(8/26): Even if Wuerffel starts, head coach Steve Spurrier has indicated that Shane Matthews will probably also see some playing time. Unless your league utilizes team quarterback, drafting Washington's quarterback is a risky proposition.

There is a huge up side for him but I'm against gambles of this caliber.”

“ok enough. if you guys keep on about this he's going to kill me :)”

“I can get you out of this mess. I will trade Griese for Faulk....

It would be painful for me, but if it helps you out, then it's worth it.......”

“i dunno..i'm kinda into underdog things...and i don't know if this was smart either..but i picked up shane matthews too...so whoever starts...i have em..lmao..i kinda wanted urlacher also...and shaun alexander...i was gonna change my rankings and bump wuerffel down..but my net went down and i was stuck with it...damn town doesn't even have a kinko's”

“I can't believe the kind of depth I was able to get in a 12 man league...You guys sure you don't want to make this a money league?? I can't believe Mason fell to the 6th and Freddie Jones to the 13th...Daddy like...”

How could I forget! After the win, I got pretty hammered and hooked up with a girl with fake thingies that I had the hots for. 'Twas a glorious night for the Gators... and Artex.”

“Okay, to defend my pick of gonzo - Minnis is out for awhile, and they're going to use the TE as more of a third reciever that being the case.

Also, I think he's going to go all out to try to impress someone into giving him the fat contract he's looking for.

The worst pick of the night was my pick of Jon Kitna. I ran out of time, and he got picked automatically because I was stupid and didn't remove him from my list before the draft.

I think the best pick of the night may have been wsdavies pick of Ray Lewis in the 11th round. I didn't realize he was still on the table.”

“Whaaat? you guys don't LOVE my Sammy Knight pick?

On another note, I have hit the waiver while and put in for a most awesome sleeper. I want say who but you guys will jump all him.

ws, Mason and Freddie were both on my queue list. My baby blues were on them.”

“Someone picked Mare in the 3rd round, now that's a stretch. Two defensive players on IR were also taken, I've never heard of any of my defensive players. Griese going with the 13th pick is another stretch. Chrebet in the 4th is yet another stretch.”

“Are you saying a bunch of guys in the league are nothing but silly putty?”

“I feel like I entered a foreign country where people speak a different language. I followed Dunk's cute a$$ in here through the back door and started reading some posts. I best stick to backpacking threads. This one gives me a headache. %o)”

“Dunk, how do you feel about your team. Personally, I think it sucks! Bwahahahahahhahahaha. Low Sodium, Mountain Oysters, and the Pig Doggies are gonna run away with this. :)”

“Two defensive players on IR were also taken, "

Yeah, I made one of those little blunders - no excuses, just never-ending shame and mockery. I can live with that.”

“PC,

Actually, I like my RB's there as strong as anyones. My receivers are good as long as Glenn performs. He could end up being a top 10 WR or a bust. Plummer will suffice at QB hooking up with Boston on a dozen long ones. Bledsoe is on the blocks, so if anyone is interested let me know.

Sunny,

Sorry bout the headache but thanx for the compliment ;-)”

“Foamfinger, where in CA are you?”

“Pantscandy, I reside in sunny Sacramento. How about yourself?

Oh yeah, in case you check here first, there is a free agent I'd consider picking up that is not on the available list. I can't believe Yahoo would have left him out - he's Pro Bowl caliber. What's a guy to do?”

“You mean Jamal Anderson..Whoops”
