hightower and greene are expendable, greene will be in Pittsburgh in week 15 or 16, I'd avoid everyone in that game other than the Ds

This is eerily familiar to your declaration during the baseball draft.
How does that make you feel?

From SBNATION for Ben:

9. LaDainian Tomlinson

Is he a well-spoken superstar with a heartwarming tale of success, a good family, and a long history of giving back to the community? Yes, but that's beside the point.

LaDainian continues to "matter" and that's infuriating. Can we all just admit that he's insanely washed up and should probably retire? And it wasn't even a badass, spectacular injury that brought an end to his dominance. He just sort of stopped being good, and started pulling up lame with a hamstring injury every other game. And for two years now, we've been doing this awkward dance with his legacy, where we talk about him among the most explosive players in the game, even though Darren Sproles (Darren Sproles!) is making him look obsolete.

That, and he's always been a little more obnoxious than he gets credit for. Whether it was whining about the Patriots after he got embarrassed on his homefield, refusing to take off his weird-ass helmet for interviews, or co-opting the LT nickname from one of the most badass humans that sports has ever seen. Tomlinson's always been secretly annoying, and a perfect ambassador for his feckless San Diego teams, destined to fall short of their outsized expectations, then whine about it after it happens

We shall see.

First of all, I'm still in it. My team has suffered horrible injuries but is still competitive.

The team you drafted would suck pretty bad if you were actually playing any of them. As usual, you've been on top of the waiver wire and have a completely different team now more or less.

[MRT144]

They're definitely right about co-opting LT.

The real LT:

Both are consensus picks for the top 5 all time at their respective positions.

[MRT144]

Are you ****ing insane or just trolling?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Even if that were true (and I doubt Tomlinson is one of the consensus Top 5 RB of all time), that ignores that Lawrence Taylor completely changed the way the entire game was played. "The Blind Side" by Michael Lewis goes into this in more detail.

You can't even say if. that means theres a remote possibility it could be true. That's simply not the case.

[SlowwHand]

You don't even comprehend that Imran is agreeing with you, do you, MRT?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Um... he entirely does comprehend. He's just disagreeing to the deference I'm giving Tomlinson being one of the Top 5 RBs in history. He's saying that even entertaining the 'if' does it injustice.

Thank you!

[SlowwHand]

OK, well that makes sense.
