    Couple of changes to my predictions. Take out Toledo, insert a B10 or ACC team, perhaps Northwestern or Florida State. As for the national championship picture, I'm sold on a Clemson undefeated first 13 on their way to a national championship loss. On a final note, take Miller out of the Heisman finalists and insert Tajh Boyd, who will win it with 4100 yards, 35 TDs, 8 Ints, 600 yards rushing, 10 TDs.

    what do you mean taking tate was a bad idea?? if you've played fantasy football, you'd know that tate gets his points regardless of being a backup... plus, with a back like foster, i have to handcuff his backup because we're not even sure if he'll be the same back he used to be or be effective in week 1... tate is a superstar waiting for the opportunity, when he gets the chance to start, he does very well... i am surprised another NFL team hasn't pulled the trigger on a trade...

    where i drafted mcfadden, it was a steal... same with gore... sure my TE's are weak, but there's always a position that isn't strong... that would be it... but miller had 800 yards and 8 TD's last year, he's not exactly a slouch... plus, there's only a handful of good TE's every year, and unless you get one early, you're not gonna have an elite one...

    my WR's are just fine, you seem to be judging them on their real life value, and not their fantasy value... all three had 1000+ yards and plenty of TD's... plus the ones on my bench could start for me if one of them isn't carrying his weight...

    A.) I meant Tate was a bad pick due to the fact that he is your only backup RB, and has the same bye as one of your starters. I actually like him as a fantasy player on the bench, just not when he plays on the same team as the starter.

    B.) Sure McFadden was a steal for his draft position, but starting him is still a bad idea.

    C.) I am judging your WRs against there real life value. Thomas and Nelson are great WRs in real life, but won't put up big fantasy numbers due to the othere receivers around them. As for Cruz, I am not a fan of drafting players, especially receivers coming off contract years because they are overvalued quite often.

    C-? Kiss my ass yahoo.

    Matt Ryan- solid, reliable quarterback, not to mention Andrew Luck is my backup

    Jamal Charles & Chris Johnson--I may have the best rb duo in this league, kinda lacking depth, but I can deal with Montee Ball or Danny Woodhead on the BYE weeks

    WRs--Dez Bryant, Dannny Amendola, Roddy White, need I say more? Not to mention I picked up Vincent Brown, SD's only decent receiver as well as two very athletic rookies in Hopkins and Tavon Austin

    TE- Jason Witten, Brandon Pettigrew, Witten might end up as a flex if both show decent numbers

    I feel Patrick Peterson and Arizona's defense gives me a decent chance of defensive points

    I think I did okay

    I do think that the Yahoo draft grades were bullshit in your case.You don't have the best team, but it's definitely capable of a .500 season. Your QB situation is average, nothing more nothing less. As for RBs, Charles and Johnson are due for big years, especially Charles in that Andy Reid west coast offense. Dez Bryant will have a huge year, as will Amendola if he stays healthy. But even if he doesn't, you're pretty deep at the position. You aso have a top 5 TE and a descent bye week guy behind him. As for the defense, I would love it as a sleeper pick with the secondary that should force TOs at a high rate if their schedule didn't consist of 4 games vs. Seattle and SF.

    Your team in my view:

    RBs:

    Spiller- Great pick. I would almost take him over AP.

    Foster- Due for a dropoff. Production has decreased yearly since 2010 and he has had too much of a workload

    Gore- At the dreaded age of 30, with younger backs looking to take away some carries.

    McFadden- That O Line and the QB situation is absolutely dreadful and he won't do shit, even if he is healthy. A back is only as good as his line and the guy throwing him passes.

    QB:

    Brady seems like a great pick, but his production won't be much higher than later picks like Stafford, Romo and RG3, who you happen to have.

    TE:

    Miller was a reach and isn't healthy and Martellus Bennett will be non existent in fantasy terms

    WRs:

    Thomas will lose targets to Welker and Decker. Not worthy of a #1 pick

    Cruz just got himself a big contracts. Receivers coming off contract years are always over drafted and never reach expectations.

    Nelson is arguably the third best receiver on his team, and GB will rely on the run more this year with Lacy, Starks and Franklin.

    Kickers and defenses are top tier, but those are never game changing positions.

    Overall you have a fairly good team, but the lack of a serious game changer at WR and lack of an even adequate TE is alarming. Great, now you made me take a fun, light hearted thing in fantasy football and go all serious and technical. Thanks. ;)

    One more note on your bench: Probably the best out of all the teams. RG3 is some serious value as a backup and the trio of Givens, Austin and Thompkins at WR could give you some playmakers on bye weeks for your starters.

    Though taking Tate as your backup RB isn't the smartest thing considering you have Foster.

    SO since I went all douchebaggy and had to completely break down your team, any honest thoughts on mine?

    The topic to talk about the iGTA FFL, which just drafted today. So let's get started. In my opinion, I think I drafted pretty fucking good for the last overall pick. Here are the draft grades, projected record, and draft position according to Yahoo:

    Tonowanda Kardex (MrMister)- B+, 13-1, 1*

    The Qs (Qdeathstar)- B, 8-6, 5*

    Bones' Team (self explanatory)- B, 8-6, 4

    Alpha's Team (Gunsmith?)- B, 10-4, 3*

    The Rams (rm80rams)- B-, 7-7, 8

    Black and Whites (Brian)- C+, 6-8, 2**

    Los Ostrichos (Ostrich Boy)- C-, 3-11, 7

    Ginger Bosax (Ginginho)- D, 1-13, 6*

    *= Autodraft

    **= Partial autodraft

    As you see, justice has not been served. The top 3 picks were on at least partial auto draft and the last wasn't :no: , not to mention 3 of the top 4 projected records. Anyways, that's the overview of the iGTA FFL. Oh, and one last thing, The Rams will finish 13-1 and win the league in the regular season and playoffs. Not even bullshitting you.

    Fuck yeah, he was great down the stretch for Stanford. Surprised at the lack of attention for him. In the 2015 Draft he's gonna end up as the number one overall pick, I guarantee it.

    Wow, you would think that considering the bitch Manziel shouldn't even be playing right now, he would just shut his damn mouth, stay humble and play football. But no, how about we taunt the clearly inferior small school opponent in a blowout. Stay classy JF. Anyways, my hate for this childish fuck grows daily. Karma is gonna hit this bitch hard when Bama fucking destroys A&M. Unless Bama wins by 50 and Manziel goes down Kevin Ware-style, I will know that this world has no justice whatsoever.

    yea, no hands on previews, no fansite events, no nothing... they're just gonna unleash it on us all at once... and it's not like none of us are passing on this game, at least not here anyways... i am predicting 9-10's all across the board, with the one loner site scoring it an 8.5 somewhere... i get the feeling that since IV got quite a few perfect scores for revolutionizing the free roam world, that this game would get a lot of those as well since it's reinventing the open world yet again...

    Highly doubt any reviews slip down past 9 from any major site. Thinking that it will be 10's from at least half the sites, with most others giving it a 9.5-9.75, and a couple sites giving it a 9.

    So what about the MP not releasing til October? I would assume that sites will just review them separately but who knows.

    HOLY SHIT that Episode 11...

    Can someone remind me about the whole ricin deal? I don't really remember except that Brock was poisoned by it.

    Brock wasn't poisoned by ricin, brock was poisoned by the lilly of the valley which Walt has a plant of by his pool, he can be seen removing the evidence of the plant. I believe they were going to use the ricin cigarette to kill fring.

    .

    Hmm...

    So why did Jesse beat the shit out of Saul about the ricin?

    Saul took the ricin from Jesse because Walt told him to. I believe that's as far into as they went I think the loose end will be tied up next week

    Still doesn't make sense to why Walt took the ricin then...

    I really do have to ask... why are you such an ass to any non vet on the forums, regardless of what they say? Just wondering.

    Why are you such an Ass, in general?

    You like starting trouble for no reason other than for your own amusement. So why are you such an Ass friend?

    Tell me, when have I started trouble for no reason? I would like to think of myself as one of the non-asses.

    Ok, I'm officially sold on Terrelle Pryor as the Raiders starting QB. Flynn is absolute trash, and Pryor looked like the next great dual threat QB yesterday. It was quite entertaining watching him make a joke of the Bears D, despite that terrible O-Line. Pryor has to be the only way the Raiders win even 1 game this year.

    I don't live in the states so I can't try it. What makes it stand out? Like I said you can normally tell the difference from the appearance as the seasoning can really show on some of the "better" chicken sandwiches.

    Basically everything gunny said. Plus it seems to be better quality chicken, unlike the shit from McDonald's or Wendy's.

    Any chicken place that isn't Popeye's is shit.

    How different from KFC is popeyes?

    My family has a fried chicken recipe that's pretty beastly, but nobody aside from my grandma, my mother and me can do it right, everybody else does it too greasy and the fat collects to make the underside of the chicken greasy

    I like the way the Japanese do it, it's lightly seasoned in soy sauce then fried a little to lock in the flavour then battered and fried like normal

    KFC is very hit and miss. Sometimes it is overly greasy, other times dry as hell. Popeye's always manages to find a good balance.
