The coaching staff really likes Jackson (more than I do honestly) so we'll see if he can reward their faith.

Now all I need is another year ending injury in Green Bay backfield!

Maybe Mike and I are just drunk.........

But I don't think we are supposed to see everyone's picks???

Perish the thought, Jack.

On the Waiver History page, the "List View" makes it much easier to figure out to whom and for how much.

Someone in one of my online leagues bid $1 for Clayton and Hillis. So close!

I bid around 200 for Clayton in a few leagues. He could be worth it if he establishes himself as Bradford's security blanket.

There were some wild bids for week one. Wow.

[/QUOTE]Nice play Jack. I loaded up Starks. But he's injured and out for a couple of more weeks. So Nance just may be the play.

I've never been the biggest Brandon Jackson fan but if the Packers didn't believe in him there's no way they would have only kept two halfbacks on the roster to start the season. The fact they did speaks volumes about their belief in him should anything happen to Grant - which unfortunately occurred in Week 1. I have 80% of my free-agent budget tied up in their belief so I hope like hell they're right.

Was that intended? I am completely ticked that people get to see all of our back up bids!!! this should not be seen

I bid $278 on Clayton and lost in a tie-breaker to another $278 bid. There was also a $277 bid.

In my other league where I also bid $278, Clayton went for $403.

But I got Chanci Stuckey for $8 instead!!! Maybe that'll turn out to be a bargain!!!
