How the hell does Curtis Painter still have a job in the NFL?! He's god awful!

Just checked out the score... 16-0 at half time? Was it that bad or didnt you play many starters?

1st play from scrimmage. Bradford to Gibson. 83 yard TD

Anything less than Super Bowl win this year will be considered a failure...

Denarius Moore could be one of the steals of the draft, he's really shining.

Even DHB made a good catch! The O-Line needs work though. Far too much pressure on Campbell. Looks like the right side is worst.

Browns starters looked good in the first half against the Lions. The backups not son good. Look out for a TE by the name of Evan Moore this year.

Isn't he moving to WR (I'm sure i read that but I may be completely wrong)? He had a couple of great games/catches a year or two ago IIRC, had my eye on him fantasy wise for the last year because he could be sensational.

In other news Larry Fitzgerald has signed a new contract with the Cards....8 years $120million. Absolutely horrendous contract where he makes $75 mil in the first four years, average at $17 (all according to LaCanfora). It makes Al Davis' contracts look sane. It'll be interesting to see how it effects the Johnsons, both of whom IMO are better than Fitz.

Staying at WR as far as I know. Greg Little will be good. The WC offense will give McCoy more options, he is a very accurate quarterback. We are stacked at TE with Watson, Moore, Cameron and Alex Smith. Running back is a concern as Hardesty still isn't fully recovered and I don't think Jackson is the answer as a backup to Hillis.

We fielded most of the first choice D in the first half, but had very few starters on offence. Dallas Clark got a few good receptions early on to break him back into things, and Addai got a couple of carries, but apart from that we had the likes of Taj Smith playing reciever.

Seriously though, Painter is god awful, even when men were open he missed them!

Just done my first draft of the season. Made a mistake in drafting two QBs with the same bye week so going to try and sort that out. We had to pick defensive players, left them all till last, hadn't bothered to check how they score. Surely that won't come back to haunt me... I drafted 7th

QB- Aaron Rodgers
RB - Rashard Mendenhall
RB - Jahvid Best
WR/RB - Wes Welker
WR - Mike Williams
WR - Marques Colston
WR/TE -Pierre Garcon
TE - Zach Miller
LB - Ray Lewis
DL - Mario Williams
DB - Pat Chung
DB - Antoine Winfield
D/ST - Falcons
K - Adam Vinatieri

Havn't even heard of my DBs...


BN- Fred Jackson
BN- Josh Freeman
