FANTASY: Any team stand out to you at all? Either good or bad?
What jumps out at me is how difficult this is to read, and it's really not worth the effort.
Eric Decker or Antonio Brown fantasy football?
Antiono brown Forsure more proven than decker and has a more relible qb if big Ben plays
Pick the top 5 (fantasy ftball) teams in no order
Terrell Owens - Perfect starting WR's and RB's; great backup in Forte sCrEwBiNi RiPpErS - Good team but weak at depth BRUINS - Don't like Harrison and Willie Parker Kung Fu Wilderbeasts - If you can start 2 Qb's this team will win it all Crystal Ballin' - I like this team except for Johnson/Houshmanzadeh duo Buttercup - I like Berrian/Graham as sleepers Team Mark - One man show in Moss The Midget Mafia - Not a great team; would be surprised to see them on anyone's top 5. Greasy Poobez - Great starters except for Jacobs nippolapolus - Great team except for QB If i had to rank them top 5 it would be: 1) Terrell Owens 2) Great team except for QB 3) Greasy Poobez 4) nippolapolus 5) Buttercup
Do you think Drew Brees was robbed?
In 2008, Brees became only the second player to throw for 5,000 yards in a season. In 2009, he surpassed Manning in nearly every statistical category, AND beat Manning's team to win the Super Bowl. What's more is Chris Johnson didn't get a SINGLE vote for MVP. All purpose yard records (meaning, he was the one WITH THE BALL) and didn't get a single vote. If you want to based on record, the Colts weren't the top team in their own division, let alone the NFL, in 2008. If you want to go based on pure importance to the team, it's gotta go to Steven Jackson or Calvin Johnson. Nobody contributed more to a terrible team with great results. Even if you took Manning of the Colts, you'd still have one of the league's best receivers in Reggie Wayne, one of the top receiving tight ends in Clark, two first round running backs in Addai and Donald Brown, two great pass rushers in Freeney and Mathis, and Pro Bowl safeties in Bob Sanders (who will probably be on IR next year) and Antoine Bethea. Nevermind arguably the most clutch kicker in the history of football. And for a while, they had a Hall of Fame coach named Tony Dungy. Give any quarterback that kind of supporting cast, and he's at least going to have a reasonably good season. In conclusion, the ONLY season he deserved to be MVP was 2004.
American Fooball: Who's the greatest American football player of all time and why?
This is an extremely difficult question to answer. While the afore mentioned Rice is a good answer, given his impact on the game, his longevity, statistics, and leadership ability, there are several factors that prevent him from being the perfect answer. 1. The modern game is much more specialized than it used to be. Could he have garnered those numbers if he had to turn around and play defense? This happens only occasionally in the modern era (post merger in 1970).2. From 1979 on, the rules had changed to favor the passing game. Before this rule change, defensive players were allowed to maintain contact with the receiver until the ball was thrown. After the change, contact was only allowed within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage.3. He is most definitely the favorite to garner "greatest at his position", but how would he be as a quarterback? Running back? Linebacker? Offensive tackle?Unlike other sports, it's impossible for one person to dominate a game and single handedly determine the outcome. Once again, Former 49ers/Raiders/Seahawks wide receiver Jerry Rice would be the closest answer I could come up with. Though other players such as Sammy Baugh (4 td passes and caught 4 int in one game), Jim Brown (an early retirement curbed his numbers), Walter Payton (one of the better all around talents) could be considered in those arguments.
