Running game already looks a lot better today.
Nervous about our fantasy game today, Jay....
It's going to be close.......I hope. <_>
I was confident until I saw all my players have an early slot. I really don't like that. The anchor of my team is Romo-Austin, which is usually reliable, but not so far...
I have DeSean in my pay league, so far that's helping me. But I also have Romo...and because the scoring is so fucked, I'm probably -30 because of one pick.
The Minnesota Vikings expect to convene either Sunday night or Monday on whether to make a serious play for San Diego Chargers suspended wide receiver Vincent Jackson, according to team and league sources.
Under a settlement reached Thursday, Jackson has to sit out the first four games of the season under suspension -- instead of six -- if he is traded by the Chargers to a new team by 4 p.m. Wednesday.
A team source said Vikings owner Zygi Wilf will be the final authority on a possible trade because Jackson wants a contract that will average $9.5 million per year and contain $30 million in guaranteed money. If the Vikings were willing to pay that amount, the Chargers are expected to ask for two draft picks, one of them at least a second-rounder for the Pro Bowl wideout, who is a restricted free agent.
However, the Vikings have some concerns about Jackson's character after he was suspended for violation of the personal conduct policy following a second arrest for driving under the influence. The Vikings did have success when they traded for former Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen, who also had been suspended after a pair of DUI violations.
The Vikings are also weighing acquiring Jackson and whether it would influence future contract negotiations with Sidney Rice, who is currently out after hip surgery. Rice is expected to return in six to eight weeks. Also, the Vikings are paying wide receiver Bernard Berrian $7 million this year and they used last year's first round pick on Percy Harvin.
The Vikings are considering offering Jackson a one-year deal worth between $4 million and $6 million with a guarantee they will not franchise him next offseason. Under those conditions, the Chargers might be willing to take lesser compensation, such as a third-round pick they would have hoped to receive next April as a compensatory pick were Jackson to leave as a free agent. Even though there is a draft, there is come uncertainty about the compensatory pick formula, a source said.
In the pay league, nothing but your QB and Defense matter...I've learned that now. They both will keep you alive or slaughter you. I'm not sure which defense to go with, and I still have time.
Jets D against the Patriots or Broncos D against the Seahawks.
Can the Jets really hold the Pats while the offense does nothing...or will the Broncos hold the Seahawks

Hey look, the Titans are in the redzone *click* Young to the endzone! PALAWALAMALUUUUU INT
But I have Romo and Austin, so I'm not happy right now.
DeSean is also in Rex's league. I'm winning there as well.
