So, How did you do? I had a guy that did not play (Dallas Clark TE, Colts) on my active roster. Opening day jitters.

Rodger,

Get another kicker...

You still did OK, Shaun.

As of right now, you're beating Rodger 61-33.

I'm gonna beat Jose, I'm ahead 76-56 and Dunn still plays on Monday night.

Mary kicked butt with 94 points and she didn't even fill her roster (missing a WR wide receiver).

Having fun yet?

Yeah, McNabb and Westbrook don't play unitl tonight. Mary's bench almost beat me. She only has the BEST QB in the league.

Anyone else having trouble logging in to ESPN? I know they are having problems. It won't accept my username and password this morning for some reason.

The automatic scoring is extremely cool. Second best thing I got in a while that was free...

The only way I'm pulling this one out is if McNab gets hurt and his replacement throws about six TD passes to T.O.

WOW, what a weird NFL weekend. I started an "eliminator" pool at work. No gambling, just for fun. Except for one person who picked New England six people have been eliminated. Myself and one other person picked St Louis over S.F., one picked Carolina over N.O, another Minnesota over T.B., two people picked Oakland over N.E, why I don't know, one person had San Diego at home, and there is one lady who has gone with Atlanta that we won't know about until tonight. Might be the shortest eliminator pool in history.

Shaun, I've had nothing but trouble with ESPN. I think they need to buy some new servers, a LOT of them. For a week I couldn't get on at all either at home or at work, unless I went onto my daughters PC. Now I'm ok at work, but not at home on my laptop. On my daughters PC it's iffy, sometimes ok, sometimes not.

I think Mary's team is going to be tough to beat.

I don't know, Bob.
I like my chances in week three. McNabb and Westbrook against Oakland in Phillie. Mary has Manning but he will be throwing TD passes to my TE Clark. :-) :-)
That and the Colts defense is going to whale on the the hapless Browns...

Well looks like Walker is out for the year. As if Green Bay didn't have enough to worry about. So I'll have to drop him. Does anybody know if I have to wait until the scores are "official" or what?

Just guessing Rodger but I would imagine the waiver wire should open after tonight's game is final. Again, that is just a guess.

Green Bay could be toast for the year. Detroit had some secret weapon in Pollard TE

Alan,
Pollard isn't a secret to Colts fans. We all hated to see him go. Great TE.

Rodger, you are trying to ruin my whole season.

Donovan was on the sidelines with his pads off. If he ends up hurt I am going to email his mom and she will find you and beat on you with a can of Chunky soup.

Detroit just hasn't had a TE game for a decade. It was position Detroit fans forget even existed

When you have a QB like Manning you tend to share... Pollard rocked last year in Indy. Great football player and a good person. Detroit is lucky to have him.

McNabb "questionable" for Sunday. We will see how that works out. Working out what WRs to start. Should be fun. Rodger snagged McCardell out from under me off the waiver wire.

At least I will have a tight end that actually plays this week.

Yeah, I had my eye on McCardell, too. But at this point, I think Rodger needs all the help he can get!

I want to start Larry Johnson this week, but now he's in trouble with the law for "domestic abuse" of his girlfriend. I'll have to keep my eye on the K.C. news, to make sure he stays out of jail.

I resemble that remark. Just because my kicker had negative points, two guys on my bench had about as many points as just about the rest of my team did, and the vaunted Jets defense ran into a buzz saw in KC.

As to McNab, I never trust them when they say "questionable." Especially somebody like McNab. If there is any way he can play, he'll play.

Come on Bob. It was an "unfortunate incident." He ought to play. That is where I made my mistake last week. I did not move TE and then Dallas Clark did not play. I will be watching the McNabb situation pretty close.
I just grabbed Leftwich and he had 18 FF points last week. Of course he wasn't playing against the awesome Colts defense...

Oh, just heard Dallas Clark practiced today. Watch out...
