Denver OL's have been guilty of holding without getting called and taking more cheap shots than any other team since I started watching the NFL in the early 80's

Tom 1860

I have just seen Denver given a pass interference call in the end Zone and then score a TD. Is it just me or did the play by the DB look like a great play?

Question 9 refers to Rugby Union, not Rugby League or The Rugby World Cup 7's.

You have to love the delay of game penalty giving the Lions another go at the FG because you cannot decline that penalty...

Is there still an 'In the grasp' rule? The NFL cannot have it both ways... Andrew Luck is tackled from behind and as he is going down he throws for a 1st down (on 3rd and 6). Jurrell Casey who is closing fast (and less than 2 feet away from Luck), star jumps to block the pass and Luck hits Casey as ...

Swimming With Sharks and The Stunt Man were both really good. I still remember a classic line from The Stunt Man , the schlumpy, aging writer is talking with the confused main character who is upset that the actress he likes has had previous affairs. (Paraphrase alert) - "Listen kid, I had a v...

Sorry all

Tom, you assemble a team of forwards, defense and goalkeepers. Weekly head-to-head games, but counting the category wins rather than "game" wins. Our categories are goals, assists, plus/minus, shots on goal, face off wins, power play points, penalty minutes, goalie wins, goals-against ave...

The vote is will get an 80%+ turnout and anyone over 16 can vote. The UK Government in London have gone nuclear and recently sent the 3 main party leaders up north to canvas for votes. This did not go well... The BBC have really let themselves down with their pro-union take on everything. If the You...

I took seattle in my office on so im laughing.

Yeah, I get the double whammy of Hurns killing the Eagles while also killing my suicide pick this week.

Tom 1860

For twatting quim's sake, this is taking the piss now. Not even the end of the 1st quarter and Hurns has 101 receiving yards and 2 TDs!

Tom 1860

Cock, mother fucking cock, suck my cock....

Tom 1860

Yep... Started Hunter over Hurns. Hurns gets a 34 yrd TD on his team's first drive.

Tom 1860

I have to select 1 of Justin Hunter (away to KC), DeAndre Hopkins (home vs Washington) or Allen Hurns (home vs Phili) to play along side AJ Green and Kendall Wright. My gut says Hurns: Hunter as the 3rd option, away from home with Locker. I think its an all or nothing selection and he and Wright tak...

Yep, I imagine this was posted post game or during the game and has a touch of sarcasm. "Don't over think it, always start your star players..." This type of decision making process has led to more weekly losses than I care to think about. Its time to totally ignore the views of the so cal...

Tom 1860

I like Randle over Hopkins, but I also like Locker over Rodgers this week. Best to ignore my advice...

Tom 1860

Ok, here is my stupid idea... I am seriously considering starting Jake Locker over Aaron Rodgers this week! The only thing stopping me from doing this so far is my belief that the refs/umpires will be looking to set their stall out early regarding contact beyond 5 yards from DBs and LBs. Therefore, ...

Tom 1860

Could somebody post the rosters please. It is always interesting to see how mad these 20 team drafts go...

1st, 40th and 41st vs 20th, 21st and 60th. Just horrible choices

Tom 1860

Like I said earlier, I cannot make this and thus deleted my team. I was good to go last Friday evening/Saturday morning, but when that date changed late on, I was screwed because of the time difference over in Blighty and needing to get to work the next morning.

Cheers

Tom 1860

Ok, I am going to go ahead and even this up.

Tom 1860

If you can't get someone else within the hour, I'll drop out to make the numbers even (as long as I can be in this next year).

The late drafting on a school night is a nightmare and I hate having a team that is picked off a ranking list.

Cheers

Ajax agree fee with Manu for Daley Blind according to BBC. Just waiting on medical and personal terms now...

Hang on, it is now an hour later, on a different day... I have set my rankings up without a Kicker or a Defense.

Auto-pilot won't make me pick a kicker or a defense with my 8th and 9th round picks will it?

Why did we change the time on the draft? If someone cannot make it tonight, at least spare a thought for the guy who is living 5 hours ahead of the East coast and is drafting after midnight in a 20 team league which could last a few hours... I looked at the draft yesterday and we were still good to ...

Michael Cox (ZonalMarking.com) had a good piece somewhere this week (ESPNFC.com, I think) about how adding DiMaria makes it more likely that Man U switch to a 4312, and away from 3412. It suits the personnel better. You'd keep RvP, Rooney, and Mata up top, have Herrera in the holding role, and DiMa...

Tom 1860

Just for kicks, looked at it...they had 17 field players who played in 20 or more games. Another couple were close. That's a pretty good amount of depth. Experience does not mean good experience... Liverpool (outside of a Champions league, a few of FA cups and a UEFA cup) have won nothing in 25 yea...

Tom 1860

and AB, I don't buy the depth thingy. I think it is just that other teams have improved their depth rather than Manu traditionally having good depth.

Tom 1860

It was a nothing game that brought ticket revenue for the Dons. SAF left the club in a good state, but the playing staff in a bad state. I don't know a lot about De Maria, but one thing I am pretty sure about is that LVG will not be changing the system he has brought to Manchester. The point about h...
