Welcome to Dallas Brandon Marshall

Say it ain't so! Rumor has it the Broncos are talking to "multiple undisclosed NFL teams" about trading Brandon Marshall (100+ catches each of the last 2 years for the Broncos)...if that's the case you can bet your A$$ Jerry Jones is in that mix. Maybe there was more to that radio interview with Michael Irvin I blogged about recently? Marshall and Irvin joked about him coming to Dallas.....Marshall said "Aww Mike you don't want me coming to Dallas...I'll break all your records". They sounded like best buds laughing it up. You know Jerry and Irvin are tight....I listen to Irvin's radio show almost every day at lunch and just a few days ago he talked exensively about the fact that with Roy banged up there's not another proven X receiver on the Cowboys roster. I can GUARANTEE you Irvin is lobbying hard to get Marshall to Dallas.

Everyone is calling the Cowboys the 3rd best team in their division. That don't fly with Jerry. If you're Marshall do you want to go play for Baltimore? How about for a hard ass coach like Tom Coughlin in New York? Or do you want to be a Cowboy? Just ask Kid Rock...

There's a Fantasy For Everyone

I had this dream the other night....weird!

The FFOC Live Draft at the Pujols

Sorry everybody but I was pretty lazy about taking pics. It's been a long while since I drank beer at 9am. I did take a few....

The guy in the front of this picture in the St Louis Rams shirt looks happy about something he just did. Anybody know....is this the guy I heard hootin' and hollerin' because he landed Bulger in around the 10th round?



I guess when you win $1,000,000 you can snooze during next year's draft. Shane is a cool guy. I ran into him again as we were leaving the hotel Sunday morning and I hear he won some coins at the casino Saturday night too. You're livin' the dream Shane...sorry I had to post this pic of you!



I was going to post a pic of Stan standing next to the final draft board in my league, but in the interest of privacy I don't want to post anyone else's team. It was a great time. The drafting area was a little crowded I thought but that's my only complaint. I didn't have room to pull out all my charts and graphs. lol

I have to say again how cool everybody from Fanball was. Special thanks to John Alden, Customer Acquisition Manager, for sending a goodie bag over to my hotel when I forgot mine under the table at the draft. I went back to the Pujols about an hour after I left to look for it and all that stuff was gone. I said it was no big deal but John insisted on taking care of it. Thanks padna!

Live At The Pujols 5

We drafted live at the Pujols 5 Bar and Grill in St Louis, Missouri Saturday morning. This team looks promising with an outstanding group of 6 WRs.

A.Johnson
B.Jacobs
G.Jennings
A.Boldin
J.Cutler
R.Rice
Felix J.
D.Garrard
J.Stewart
B.Favre
C.Henry
A.Bryant
D.Brown
Cowboys D
D.Keller
J.Morgan
Arizona D
A.Fasano
K.Brown
S.Graham

A recent Yahoo article I read said "If you have 6 WRs ranked higher than Boldin then scrap your board and start over". He is my WR3 on this team! I took AJ first over Fitz with the idea of targeting Bolden later and it worked out. I sorta hated taking Favre...I'm not a believer...but if he surprises me this team looks great!

Team HELLMUTHofFF8Q

Here's a look at my latest Q draft last night from the #4 hole. I think it looks pretty good. I was surprised to land Rivers in the 4th round. He and Rodgers could be top 5 QBs this year. I think I reached on Chris Henry but I was about to draft Coles and then Henry the following round...I decided I really wanted both player but Henry more than Coles. I got both anyway. Cincy should be a passing team this year if Palmer stays healthy, and Henry is shining in a big way this preseason. He caught 9 TD passes in '06 and seems to have his head on straight at the moment. I could see a 10-12 TD year with Housh gone to Seattle. The RB2 spot will be by committe with Bush, Felix and LenDale. I love me some Felix and LenDale looks great...15 TDs last year and in much better shape this year. It will be tough to decide who to start each week. Gates and Carlson are both top notch TEs. The Rivers/Gates combo will be lethal. Carlson probably won't start much but if Housh should go down Carlson's value should increase so I like that insurance. Meachem is one of my favorite sleeper WR candidates, and again if I should lose Bush it might give Meachem a bump. My trio of Defenses is a powerhouse. Arizona has my favorite schedule at the end of the season and the Jets and Cowboys should put up big fantasy numbers. I should have a great defense matchup every week.
