I'm mildly interested in them right now, and probably root for them as a distant second team, I think. I'll be interested to see what they do. I'm more interested in them than if the Raiders or Chargers (especially the Chargers) had moved here.

But of course, I'll always root for the Bears.

I thought the Bears did really well in Rounds 2-7. I just can understand giving up a pick to move up to #9 just to select a 2-3 year project. The guy is really fast but he has no ass in his game. He is giving up a 100 pounds + to NFL tackles. I think he should work out when the Bears can play Fangio's defense but they weren't able to play it last year. They didn't have the guys and it takes a couple of years to implement some that complex. It is all the crazy stunts and options that make it work.

Jury is in today on Bear GM Pace. He is another idiot.

Two big developments today:

Tom Brady Won't Appeal Suspension to Supreme Court

Source: Broncos, Von Miller agree to 6-year, $114.5 million deal

Best,

Geoff

Cool. Jimmy will do fine. They have another set of great hands at TE.

Seeing this thread today reminds me...since I'm retired I'm homeless as far as Fantasy Football goes. Can't remember if there's a separate FF thread? Either way is it possible to join at this point?

Thanks.

dB will typically start a new thread

Thanks Dave.

Dennis Green, RIP

Best,

Geoff

There's ten players currently signed up. You'd be most welcome to play, brother Mark - but we need an even amount of players, so we have to find someone else to join as well.

dB

Thanks Dave - I'll solicit the more local East Coasters through a PM, see if there's any interest. I assume this is done through Yahoo? Or better yet if you can direct me to a thread where the details are that would be good.

BTW if you haven't seen it yet please see this thread regarding PM issues I'm having

Update; Looks like PM issue is no longer.

Good for him. I'm not surprised, considering that his accuser immediately retracted his claims; but I'm glad to see the air cleared nonetheless.

Best,

Geoff

It irratates me that I sat through 30 minutes of sports radio at lunch and heard nothing of Peyton being cleared but when he was accused the story ran non stop. I'm not a Peyton fanboy but still the press won't hesitate to defame someone but never retracts or clears someone with the same vigor.

Yes.

dB

I hope and presume this development won't change that:

Yahoo’s Sale to Verizon Ends an Era for a Web Pioneer

Best,

Geoff

Hope you're right.

dB

Agreed. This is a repeated failing of the press in far too many instances.

Best,

Geoff

At the risk of getting me in trouble with myself for saying something that could lead to political discussion (and hopefully will not):

The news in general continues to get more sensationalist all the time, and has continued to do so increasingly ever since it became a for-profit business. Not surprising that sportscasting doesn't stray far from that model.

dB

Agreed.

Best,

Geoff

For what it's worth—according to an article from the New York Times:



Best,

Geoff

You don't want me to create a KC II FF league somewhere else, do you?

Best,

Geoff

Did you ever find someone? If not, I'd be interested

You're in!

PM me your email address, and I'll hit you with an invitation. Brother Marky, you as well.

That puts us at 12, and locks the league.

Welcome to KCFF, gentlemen!

dB

The KCFF league for 2016 is finalized and locked at 12 teams. We draft Sunday 8/28 at 1 PM Eastern time.
Good luck, gentlemen!

dB

It shows 4 PM EDT on the website, that time would actually work better for me and also likely people from the West Coast.

Ooops. Had the 1 PM part correct - just forgot I set it for 1PM my time.
