  • Yeah I drafted Danario Alexander as my bet out of that St. Louis offense but I cut Alexander when he had knee problems and picked up (and started, mind you) Greg Salas this weekend but that didn't work out for me. It's annoying when you are right about a guy, cut him because he's missing practice and games (he missed week 1), and then he blows up while the guy you thought would emerge in the first guy's absence fumbles away your chance at fantasy victory. So frustrating when you were right but end up being wrong.

      And they are talking about his playing in next game using a Kevlar vest. Really?? Even with one that's still asking for trouble.

        Danario is a pretty decent player. I almost put him on my "Jaguar's 'who the **** are these guys?' sleepers" list.

        • Cedric Benson suspended 3 weeks


          Good. The guy in my auction league who has Benson also has Jamaal Charles and lost the Dexter McCluster race. He has Green-Ellis and no one else. Maybe I can ship him Michael Turner for Aaron Rodgers

          • You take more delight in a player's plight than you do in doing well in your competition, don't you?

              It's no wonder that we all revel in his life being in shambles and most of ours being pretty great. Taste of his own medicine.

                Delight in a player's plight? Benson is getting suspended, he's not injured! He did this to himself.

                And what are you talking about? This is a win-win for me in both counts. This weakens my competition and may cause them to be willing to give up more at a position I need for a position I have a surplus in. What are you talking about I take more delight in A over B? Did I make any statements about which is better for me?

                • I'm pretty sure Sloww was referring to the delight you take in the misfortune of the opposing GM (the guy with Charles and Benson).

                  • Well shouldn't I be happy? Weaker opponents mean I have a better chance of winning it all. Though, granted, I played him this past week and blew him out and I don't play him again but still.

                    • I'm not an "end justifies the means" type guys. I like to beat someone at full strength. I particularly like it when Yahoo and others see me as the underdog and I manage to win.
