As much as I love football season, part of the reason I like it is because there is an off season. Don't saturate the season with extra games.
In reality, the NFL does a pretty good job of keeping the league relevant all year (Super Bowl, Draft, Pre-Season)...don't add games.

Pryor eligible for supplemental draft, suspended first 5 games of the season.
Paulie from the Dan Patrick show made an interesting point...if Tressel were to sign to an NFL team as an assistant coach, would he have to sit 5 games as well?

cut two preseaon games and start the season earlier. done.
or cut one preseason game and the bye week. done
but please, for the love of all that is good, don't drag the season on longer.
drives my nuts that they don't play the ncaa title game until the middle of jan now.
Which bye week are you talking about, the regular season bye or the off week between Conference championships and the Super Bowl? That one they should cut.

Yeah, I realize they get an extra week to rest and heal before the big game, but a little air is let out of the balloon.
There is a ton of momentum and then they shut things down for 2 weeks.

Fantasy draft tonight. I normally never get one of the top picks. If I get one of the first 3 picks, what players should I look at?

he's not arian foster. different kind of back. he'll never consistently crack 20 carries a game. do you know who his coach is? plus ronnie brown will get a few touches a game too. all that aside, i think he's one of the top overall backs in the league.
i'm not sure how you're league works but i think lead the eagles in receptions with 78 for 600 yards. scored 9 td's.
also, you keep bringing up westbrook. mccoy's numbers last year compare very favorably to an average b west year. they are very similiar backs. expect similiar numbers from mccoy this year...

If you get credit for receptions then i think mccoy is a late first rounder
late first round i'm taking andre Johnson or White from atlanta.
unless you get a top 3 RB, there is just too much risk to take the 8th or 9th best rb early. i'd rather get some bookend WR's and fill my RB roster out with a couple of mid tier backs and a bunch of prospects. Over the last few years i've picked up westbrook, gore, & foster with mid round selections. foster was a 7th rounder in one leagure for me last year.

That's exactly what I'm hoping to do with my 10th pick. I'm thinking a big time WR and then a top tier QB with the 2nd round pick.

depends on scoring.
after the top few qb's, there is alot of parity. I was using Cutler alot last year, as i was able to pick him up super late. heck, i picked him up late again this year.
here is my first draft of this fantasy season. i was 8th out of 10. i most likely took tolbert too high, but i'm not sold on mathews.
we start 1qb, 2rb, 3wr, 1te, 1k, 1D and 1w/r flex. pretty standard scoring, point per reception and 6 for a passing td
1. (8) Andre Johnson
(Hou - WR)
2. (13) Roddy White
(Atl - WR)
3. (28) Reggie Wayne
(Ind - WR)
4. (33) LeGarrette Blount
(TB - RB)
5. (48) Dallas Clark
(Ind - TE)
6. (53) Matt Schaub
(Hou - QB)
7. (68) Beanie Wells
(Ari - RB)
8. (73) Mike Tolbert
(SD - RB)
9. (88) Marshawn Lynch
(Sea - RB)
10. (93) Jay Cutler
(Chi - QB)
11. (108) Mike Williams
(Sea - WR)
12. (113) Marcedes Lewis
(Jac - TE)
13. (128) Roy Williams

14. (133) Jason Snelling

in 06 westbrook at 1212 yards rushing and 699 yards recieving (77 catches) w/ 11td's
07 he was at 1333, 771, 90 w/12td's
that's 1900+ yards and 2100+
i said an average westbrook year. you mentioned his two best...two of the best in eagles franchise history.
mccoy had 1700 in his first year as a starter. 1900 is probably something he'll surpass this year.
those are the years i had him.
i think i went back for one my year in 08 when he started to tail off.
i expected those sort of numbers last year from McCoy. if i can get him in the 3rd round, i'll take him. or maybe in the late 2nd round....depending on draft postiona of each league.
Comments
but if they do....please don't push the superbowl into march.
This has mike shanahan written all over it. He loves shitty QBs

I think you want the extra week for the sb to allow the teams a little extra rime to prepare

"Becoming a Bruce fan is like hitting puberty as a musical fan. It's inevitable." - dcfaithful
i could care less about those two. i'm more interested in seeing hte running game of each.
I think McCoy can be the next Westbrook, but thus far, he's not delivered that great fantasy season
yes Ben is a douchebag. GO STEELERS!!!!!

1700 all purpose yards wasn't enough for you last year?
outside of a few weeks, he was very average
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/931 ... aOHf3.uLYF
10 weeks under 70 yards rushing. only 4 games with a rushing td. only cracked 20 carries once and that week, he only had 64 yards with no td's
unless he steps up, he's a second tier rb.
i'd like to see numbers like this (Arian Foster)
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/952 ... aOHf3.uLYF
this is why i'm not a big fantasy sports guy.
he's not arian foster. different kind of back. he'll never consistently crack 20 carries a game. do you know who his coach is? plus ronnie brown will get a few touches a game too. all that aside, i think he's one of the top overall backs in the league.
