Moss needs to get lessions from Marvin

I Just Got Back
So I am trying to get caught up to speed.
I saw where Brady got hurt. That is huge for them. I hate it when QBs get hurt being tackled low. Dirty playing.
The Lions suck. Matt Millen will get an extension though.
Now I’m going to check my fantasy team. I have Plaxico Burress and the Giants D, so I had a good start. Let’s see how my guys playing now are doing.

2 leagues
is enough for me. I guess the more leagues you are in the more chance of winning at least 1
it just added up fast
Stampede Blue was a given, 18 to 88 and New Era Scouting I really wanted to play in, then one more off another forum I like that was having trouble getting enough people and finally after I had 4 a friend texted me to join their league.

Backup Cassel is doing well.
If he continues, no reason to risk Brady.

Amazing what a mediocre QB
can do with great protection and Randy Moss
(ZING!)

What's the best game to watch so far?
I got most of them on channelsurfing.net
I also blog at Speed Blue Nation
mine suck (NE-KC and PHI-STL)
Bucs Saints is close and was the game I wanted to see

oh, wow
I gave up after they scored a second TD with Cassle

Seattle wasn’t ready for that

I see what you were saying shake
If it wasn’t for the play calling, and the different number, I would have thought Tom Brady was still in.
I also blog at Speed Blue Nation
I like that Simmons gave Manning's knee as a reason the Colts
“Would struggle to reach the playoffs” and it’s Brady’s knee that could cost them a game they were favored by 2 TDs in.
"I'm not racin', I'm just sprintin'

Croyle hurt or pulled?
Huard is in

Cuz I don't wanna finish
they diminish, I replenish"
-Lil Wayne "Let the beat build"
Pats win
"I'm not racin', I'm just sprintin'
Cuz I don't wanna finish
they diminish, I replenish"
-Lil Wayne "Let the beat build"
or awful playcalling
On the part of Chan Gailey. You don’t go to the same receiver three times on a last minute goal line stand. And if you run it in that situation either get in a real goal line formation to get the ball moving foward, and try to run off the draw. No stupid hand-offs out of singleback when the game is on the line.
I also blog at Speed Blue Nation
Jets Win
but Fins made it close
"I'm not racin', I'm just sprintin'
