Your last roster spot is generally not going to amount to much, and if its even 5% he ends up playing 12 games its well worth the investment. ill take a 5% chance of having a top 3 WR for 12 games over having some terrible teams #3 wideout who wont put up any numbers.

I thought they ruled officially that hes out entire season?

Originally, yes but recently they've talked about revising their drug policy (not including weed/MDMA with HGH)

They should announce something on Sunday about it

Yah I was on the shitter reading Rotoworld when I saw that. Swooped him up in my two leagues, best poop I've ever taken. I think it's much better than a 5 percent chance from what I'm reading too. Pretty obvious the NFL wants to get this done.

I am pretty over College Football at this point. A bunch of college kids playing relatively sub par football. I could not even name one player on my alma mater this year before watching them play about 15 minutes of atrocious football and 3 hours of admen peddling their bullshit.

However,

F'ing NFL man. I am watching bits and pieces of all these games. Checking and double checking unimportant details for no reason... etc... etc...

awww shiiiit

Lamar Miller or Markus Wheaton?

Matt Stafford or RG3?

stafford > rg3 and its not close

i go wheaton. im convinced lamar's usage will start at 50% and asymptotically approach 20% as the season goes on. knowshon will win the job, while wheaton plays every play. in non PPR the gap is even wider

agree. I wouldn't even mind dropping RG3 at this point if there are better QBs available in waivers (which I would assume in almost every league there is)

Just heard AP is in trouble (indicted) for child abuse

lolololol

was going to make a smartass reply but honestly the situation seems pretty fucked up and sad, kid is apparently 4 years old and got whipped with a switch. the alleged cause was that the kid pushed another one of AP's kids while he was playing a videogame. these are photos from TMZ:



from http://houston.cbslocal.com/2014/09/1...n-adrian-peterson-indictment-charges/

"The beating allegedly resulted in numerous injuries to the child, including cuts and bruises to the child’s back, buttocks, ankles, legs and scrotum, along with defensive wounds to the child’s hands. Peterson then texted the boy’s mother, saying that one wound in particular would make her “mad at me about his leg. I got kinda good wit the tail end of the switch.”
Peterson also allegedly said via text message to the child’s mother that he “felt bad after the fact when I notice the switch was wrapping around hitting I (sic) thigh” and also acknowledged the injury to the child’s scrotum in a text message, saying, “Got him in nuts once I noticed. But I felt so bad, n I’m all tearing that butt up when needed! I start putting them in timeout. N save the whooping for needed memories!”
In further text messages, Peterson allegedly said, “Never do I go overboard! But all my kids will know, hey daddy has the biggie heart but don’t play no games when it comes to acting right.”
According to police reports, the child, however, had a slightly different story, telling authorities that “Daddy Peterson hit me on my face.” The child also expressed worry that Peterson would punch him in the face if the child reported the incident to authorities. He also said that he had been hit by a belt and that “there are a lot of belts in Daddy’s closet.” He added that Peterson put leaves in his mouth when he was being hit with the switch while his pants were down. The child told his mother that Peterson “likes belts and switches” and “has a whooping room.”

what a goddamned idiot.

and what the fuck at putting leaves in his mouth...?

^^^I've never understood or agreed with that way of disciplining your children but know a lot of people who were raised that way

So start or sit...

Pierre Garçon or Brandin Cooks?

Kelvin Benjamin or Vincent Jackson?

Greg Jennings or Roddy White?

TEN Defense or MIA Defense?

garcon benjamin jennings miami

Why havent we started a LP.net fantasy league yet?

timdawg every single one of those choices you had did horribly, that's such bad luck lol

It's been a bloodbath so far lol

Peterson might have put leaves in his mouth because he had nothing better nearby and wanted to keep him from biting his tongue. He made the kid undress though so you would think cloth would be better.

You can kind of tell AP is not beating his kids out of sadistic inclinations or I'll intentioned purposes. He's a stubborn and dumb southern hick who really thinks that is an ok way to raise your kids.

And I don't see the generational thing as an excuse. His dad beat on him so it's the only way he knows how to discipline his own children. Bullshit. My dad used to smack me around and take out the belt until I got too big for him. I wouldn't dream of doing that shit to my own children despite what happened to me.

It's even well known among parents not to leave marks when "whooping" your children; that you can get in trouble. Should be common sense to AP that beating a 4 year old with a tree branch and drawing blood repeatedly is going to far. Hitting a 4 year old in the head with a closed fist is going too far. I think he needs to be disciplined himself and made to realize this is 2014 and society is trying to move away from barbaric methods of child-rearing. He's rich enough to still take care of his family while being absent from them for a little while. Those kids may need the relief. Prosecute him and try to get a little jail time IMO

Well said old friend, well said.

Pierre Thomas or Bradshaw this week for flex spot?

And my God, this kid Winston is just such a dumb guy. I mean literally, not in the insulting sense. The guy is about as dumb as a door nail. It's comical. Alleged rape, stealing crab-legs, and then this bullshit.

But overall, I'm just referring to his interviews. The guy is just hilariously stupid. I feel guilt while I type this but what can I say, I'm a dick.

I can't recall either one of their match ups but I would go Bradshaw

He's consistently outplayed Trent Richardson so far and is emerging as the starting back (unless the coaching staff for the Colts is too stubborn/dumb to realize that Bradshaw is better)

Pierre Thomas still has Khiry Robinson behind him who has really shown flashes of greatness imo and I think they're likely to split carries or possibly Robinson gets more.

Seems like a pretty close spot but I'd gamble on Bradshaw (maybe just start whoever is playing the worse Defensive team)
