Can't believe you passed on Brady for Andre Johnson. Your first two picks saw you getting the most available points on the board, but just because there was a wide receiver run going on didn't mean you should have avoided brady. See if you can try to trade Santana moss for Tom Brady though. HE might try to get more because he could have drafted moss on the backside, but tell him he passed on him because he needed to finally get his 2nd running back.Not A Gunslingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01643670897270124145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-13282549246525034382007-08-16T13:40:00.000-04:002007-08-16T13:40:00.000-04:00k~ Don't fret...the D-Rays are playing decent ball...k~ Don't fret...the D-Rays are playing decent ball and the Indians are nothing to write home about.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071405721004631626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-34863207141558647862007-08-16T13:33:00.000-04:002007-08-16T13:33:00.000-04:00Hi, Cleveland's TIED with the Detroit in the AL Ce...Hi, Cleveland's TIED with the Detroit in the AL Central.

Not to mention he has Herm Edwards coaching him, so he's in line for about 450 carries a season from now until he basically breaks in half... sometime in mid-2008.<BR/><BR/>At least that pick was backed up by a running back who runs people over but forgets to bring the ball with him.<BR/><BR/>I agree with blake redgrave up above though - don't sleep on the Oilers' D. they haven't allowed a point in like 12 years now...Big Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478232002387175988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-37199270829904794032007-08-16T10:16:00.000-04:002007-08-16T10:16:00.000-04:00ryan from boston - the thing is, MLS doesn't need ...ryan from boston - the thing is, MLS doesn't need saving. Your disinterest aside, it already has a good financial footing (or at least is on its way to), with a solid base of supporters and sponsors.<BR/><BR/>Now, the challenge is whether they can attract fans who don't give a shit about soccer, the way NFL, NBA and MLB can, and at least for the short term, Beckham has done exactly that. And sure, most of those in attendance couldn't name players other than Beckham, but that's not too different from the casual fan in the Big 3 sports.<BR/><BR/>Also, I have no idea what you mean by "Soccer hasn't bin on the USA national radar since you HAVE to pay for most Europe/South American games." <BR/><BR/>Finally, the people you've talked to overseas aren't too bright. While Beckham <I>is</I> overrated by casual fans, he tends to be underrated by eurosnobs because it's fashionable to dismiss him as a product of marketing hype. But he was the driving force behind Real Madrid's championship run and he has at least 2 good years of world-class soccer left in him.badly drawn boykinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664893116234530078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-13000874235375932102007-08-16T10:07:00.000-04:002007-08-16T10:07:00.000-04:00@Herion Sheik:Cock fighting is not regarded as qui...@Herion Sheik:<BR/>Cock fighting is not regarded as quite as bad as dog fighting for one primary reason; dogs are man's best friend, chickens are walking food.
