    Absolutely. I think our trade deadline is mid-November, so I could just hold these people hostage. I used to want 50 cents on the dollar - like a mid level rb. But now I want a starting rb, or a pretty decent WR(we're a PPR league). So far best deal I'm seeing is Witten and Hightower for Finley and Vick. Not good enough I'm thinking though. Vick really has no value to me with Rodger as my QB. Alright, enough, I gotta stop.

    witten got banged up on sunday. not sure what his status is. I'd be sure to check that out before making your move.

    Jacksonville blows, so vick's value should increase for another week. After that I'm skeptical.

    Yeah. Witten is being persistent about playing, and they're saying it's not that bad. Might be good play though, no? Hightower's been decent, and might be worth it with an average QB in AZ.

    And I think Vick is a starter in any league the rest of the way. When you can essentially have a 4th rb in my league who also passes is a good thing.

    be careful with hightower. I know beanie wells was banged up to start the season. when he's healthy, he will get most of the carries out there.

    This is true. I think I'm gonna wait Vick out another week or so.

    I'm trying to get Charles from him instead though. I'd rather have him because he's a better long term choice over Tommy Jones.

    david akers did an appearance at a sales trade show that my company hosted a few years back. He couldn't have been nicer. He did a Q & A while he was signing some stuff (I got a picture with him, no autograph for me). It was an open forum and people were allowed to ask him whatever they wanted. People were asking him all kinds of lame stuff like what goes through your head before a kick and crap like that. I asked him to tell us some TO stories (this was the spring after TO had left philly).

    He went on and told a 15 minute story about the TO/Hugh Douglas fight. I asked him who he would have put his money on and he said and I'm quoting here, 'no doubt in my mind TO would have whooped his ass. It took 5 big lineman and linebackers to hold TO back. Hugh really wanted no parts of him'

    I was floored...was cool hearing the story from someone who was there

    Should have stuck with Kolb. Can't wait for the Cowboys to get the Eagles. And hopefully the Cowboys haven't ruined their playoff chances by then. Damn you Wade Phillips!

    I prefer to watch all big sporting events this way (if I'm not in attendance). It's all about the controlled environment for me. Maybe a few other guys that are into the game as much as I am.

    Hopefully on sunday night we will be celebrating another eagles win and another cowboys loss :D

    Meh. It all depends for me. There's the level of importance of a game - if it's the Super Bowl or Game 7 of the World Series, and my team's in it, then I either want to be there or at the closest bar to the heart of the city with as many people as possible. Just as long as I have perfect view of the game.

    Sporting events of the Philly kind are just like PJ concerts to me. I want to share them with as many people I know - or don't - as possible.
