Wait, isn't that Gecko's league???

yes.

sorry, i picked #13, nothing i could do but watch holt go to them. i guess we got some real good owners in our league. someone took kevin jones before Holt! talk about a team that is the frontrunner. it's gonna take a tomlinson, holt, or ward injury for anyone to touch him. they did a good job drafting, but my mom probably could have pulled the trigger on those players as well.

He's got to get lucky and get a rb injury because all he has is LT. He's been lucky O. Smith wasn't suspended or he'd be in the middle of the pack right now instead of in 2nd place. RB's are LT, George, Fisher, O. Smith, K. Faulk, and Pinner. O. Smith starting gives him a great chance. O. Smith carrying the ball 5-6 times a game and he's 25-50 at best. He's starting Tony Fisher this week. That should tell you all you need to know. When I saw Ponch draft Holt and Ward in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, I knew he'd be competitive but that's it unless he gets some injury help.

Now Tamu, there you go again! I'm sorry if our choice to draft those receivers with our 2nd-4th picks somehow didn't sit well with you. However, we weren't about to take some doorstop of a RB just because The Fantasy Football Bylaws said we had to. Listen, I am impressed with your depth at RB, as T.Henry and E.James would be a strong backfield even in a 10 man league. Do I wish we had Henry as our #2 RB? Sure, but the draft just didn't allow it. Now, that being said, I'll still put Ladainian, any one of our pathetic #2 RB's, and our WR's up against anyone's squad. I'm willing to bet that our shortcomings at #2 RB will be balanced out by our depth at WR. Lastly, you better pray to the god of disgruntled punks that the league deals with O.Smith soon, and that K.Jones comes back quickly from his vaginal contusion, and takes his carries back from Pinner. Otherwise my friend, it could get very scary indeed. Now Tamu, the next time you post a message, at least try and be complimentary. Tell me how pretty my eyes are, or how slim my size-50 Charles Oakley Knicks jersey makes me look!!! Hugs & Kisses, Poncharello
