Sorta just fudging around with this one. Playing off the Flash thing, dont think I executed at all, just thought I'd Share.
I really like the way this one turned out. Thoughts?
I have both PSDs for these if anyone thinks they can do something with them.

Huge game for me this week. If I win, I get first place in the league and automatically win 160 dollars.
PPR League. I need to pick 2 RBs 2 WRs and a FLEX
2 RB
Mark Ingram @ Pit (11th against RBs)
Justin Forsett vs SD (18th against RBs)
Ryan Mathews @ Bal (3rd against RBs)
Denard Robinson vs NYG (31st against RBs)
Tre Mason vs Oak (29th against RBs)
I think the only one I'm really sold on is Forsett from above. Other than that Ingram struggled this past week as did Denard and Tre. Matthews had a good day but left with an injury and has a tough matchup this week. I think I'm leaning towards Denard currently.
2 WR
AJ Green @ TB (27th against WRs)
Jeremy Maclin @ Dal (6th against WRs)
Josh Gordon @ Buf (14th against WRs)
Martavis Bryant vs NO (26th aginst WRs)
Gordon and Green both had good weeks last week and should again this week, so I am leaning towards those two. I only really put this because I also have a FLEX spot so you can choose one of the leftovers from above. Maclin is still getting the targets, but his production has been down with Sanchez and he has a tough matchup (but I would like to root for someone on Thursday). Martavis Bryant had a bad week the other week, but had a bunch of targets still.
FLEX
Do I get cute and play a matchup here (Tre Mason/Martavis Bryant), or do I play the best player that I have left (Mark Ingram/Jeremy Maclin/Ryan Mathews).

Pick 2 PPR
Branden Oliver @ Mia
Denard Robinson @ Cin
Trent Richardson @NYG
Chris Ivory @ KC
Mohammed Sanu vs Jac (I have AJ Green starting)

It's on my work computer, so hopefully it's still there on Monday when I get in. How should I upload the .psd?

Bored, so I decided to try to make a Browns Rookie Class wallpaper. I wanted to get the main contributors from the class so far, as well as all the draft picks, but I couldnt find anything worth while of Pierre Desir and Ray Agnew, so I just went with this.
Thoughts?

actually, looking at it again Sproles did have a fantastic first two weeks, but I still don't see how anyone halfway intelligent would trade Brown at that point, or any point for that matter, especially in a league that has to start three WRs
I was thinking the same thing. Some people were telling me I was stupid because Sproles *was having a ridiculous year, but I was more along the lines of the fact that they have Shady and no way would he keep that up. I would rather the consistent play of Antonio Brown than a Boom or Bust performance out of Sammy and Sproles.
Just completed a Justin Forsett and Ben Tate for Matellus Bennett trade.
The other teams RBs are:
Andre Ellington
Matt Asiata
Chris Johnson
Maurice Jones-Drew
Bobby Rainy
He has Bennett and Kelce at TE.

This league is 10 dollars a person, so a 120 dollar pot.
We start 2 RBs and 3 WRs, but I actually forgot to include our flex position in the lineup, so that's either pretty much been Forsett or Bradshaw all season.
I'm 4-1, with my loss coming week one to the guy who is 5-0, but my team is much better and played like shit that week. I have ~60 more total points than he does on the season, and he is the second highest scorer, but he has gone up against the 2nd least amount of points. That week I lost by 12, and the Saints D/ST got me -8, and Jordan Reed & Ben Tate didnt even finish that game. It was also before I traded for Brown.
Trying to trade Forsett and Tate for Gronk right now.

I have never had this much luck in Fantasy Football.
I'm in a 12 man PPR League, here's what I am rolling out each week with their rankings in my league
QB - Jay Cutler - 4th ranked QB
RB - DeMarco Murray - 1st ranked RB
RB - Matt Forte - 2nd ranked RB
WR - Antonio Brown - 1st ranked WR
WR - Julio Jones - 2nd ranked WR
WR - Vincent Jackson - 30th ranked WR
TE - Zach Ertz - 14th ranked TE
D/ST - Eagles - 1st ranked D/ST (I'm streaming defenses though)K - Cody Parkey - 4th ranked K
It doesn't stop there, because I have sweet depth too.
Justin Forsett - 5th ranked RB
Ahmad Bradshaw - 6th ranked RB
Ben Tate/Isaiah Crowell
Jerrick McKinnon
Kendall Wright
Marvin Jones
Josh Gordon
So I end up with 4 of the top 6 RBs, including 1 and 2
The top 2 WRs
Which ends up translating to 4 of the top 5 RB/WR/TEs
and 5 of the top 11 players in Fantasy Football this year.
I drafted everyone except Antonio Brown, Justin Forsett, Eagles D/ST, Cody Parkey, Jerrick McKinnon, Isaiah Crowell, and Marvin Jones.
Of those above, I traded Darren Sproles and Sammy Watkins straight up for Antonio Brown and Justin Forsett after week 2.
I'm trying to trade for a TE, but no one will trade with me because "that will make your team unbeatable though."
Just thought I'd share my luck with you guys.

That's who I was leaning towards. Thanks.

Alright. PPR League. Somehow or another I am 2-1, but got a tough one this week.
WR2 - Cecil Shorts III or Sammy Watkins
FLEX - Cecil Shorts III, Sammy Watkins, Toby Gerhart, Trent Richardson, Owen Daniels
Thoughts?

A few people have already posted rosters in their own threads, we usually have one general roster thread and I didn't want to hijack someone else's, so here's a team I just drafted, feel free to post your own in here:
a couple particulars with this league: ten team league, PPR, the biggest quirk is you don't have to start a TE, starting spots are: QB, RB, RB, RB/WR, WR, WR, WR/TE, Def, K
QB: Tom Brady
RB: Matt Forte, Andre Ellington, Chris Johnson, Shane Vereen, Darren Sproles, Jonathan Grimes (WM alum, picked him on a whim, not sure how long I'll keep him)
WR: AJ Green, Antonio Brown, Reggie Wayne, Kelvin Benjamin, Dwayne Bowe, Justin Hunter
DEF: New England
K: Dan Bailey
You clearly went after the pass catchers and/or big-play makers at RB. I like that in a PPR. Solid QB, could be better, could also be much much worse. WRs are good if not great. Green will get his, and Antonio Brown will too. Reggie Wayne was a stud last year when healthy. Kelvin Benjamin is a boom or bust type pick. Dwayne Bowe is pretty meh, but assuming you got him late, that's not a bad pickup. I am a big fan of Justin Hunter's this year. Kicker and Defense is usually a crapshoot so whatever.
TGP PPR league, 12 teams.
QB: Matt Ryan, Carson Palmer
RB: Shane Vereen, Pierre Thomas, Fred Jackson, Danny Woodhead
WR: Dez Bryant, Brandon Marshall, Roddy White, Anquan Boldin, Kelvin Benjamin, John Brown, Allen Hurns
TE: Rob Gronkowski, Marcedes Lewis
K: Steven Hauschka
DET: New Orleans
First time I ever played PPR so I went after highly targeted WRs above all else. With RBs I went with those who get a lot of receptions as well (except Fred Jackson.) Grabbed the rookie WRs Benjamin, Brown, and Hurns to stash in case one of them breaks out.
Your wide receivers are great, but I think Danny Woodhead might be your best bet at RB being a PPR league. I'm super iffy on Vereen, Thomas, and Jackson this year. I like Gronk, but I dont think Lewis deserves to even be on a roster.

12 Man PPR League. 4th Overall pick.
QB - Jay Cutler
RB - Matt Forte
RB - DeMarco Murray
WR - Julio Jones
WR - Vincent Jackson
WR - Kendall Wright
TE - Jordan Reed
FLEX - Ben Tate
D/ST - Saints
K - Alex Henery
Bench
Sammy Watkins
Terrence Williams
Darren Sproles
Terrence West
Josh Gordon
Ahmad Bradshaw
Zach Ertz
I'm probably boned in week 9 with all my byes, but whatevskis.

Amazon is usually my go-to for something like this as well, but with it being the same cost, I may as well just get it at the Verizon store. It was sort of one of those things that if I needed it shipped it would be here by the time I had my phone. Who knows maybe Verizon will have some sort of deal on a case when I get my phone.
-
Where would be the best place to buy cellphone accessories? I am about a week away from upgrading to a smartphone (Gonna get the Galaxy S5). I'm just wondering if there is anywhere that is much cheaper than a Verizon store to get a like a case for it. Planned on getting an Otterbox Defender Case, and it seems to be the same cost at Verizon and on Amazon.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I think the Browns should match. If after two years and he wants out he will be 30 (not that that's old, especially for a lineman), and we get two years with him for slightly less than the transition tag, and then if he still doesnt want to be a part of what Farmer and Pettine are trying to accomplish, he can walk. 9 mil for a center is a bit much, but we have a lot of cap room, and still have a couple of years before we need to re-work all of Haden, Gordan, Cameron, Sheard, Taylor, etc.
I'm sure there's language in there that is more than just the 5 years 42 mil, opt out after 2 years clause, so I guess we'll just have to see.
-
Sorta been away from it for a while. I liked what I did with the Trout sig I did recently and tried to up the scale of it for a Billy Hamilton wallpaper. I guess I just like something about the pick of the players coming back into the dugout.
NOTE: The attachment makes it look a little blurry, but I assure you, it is not on my screen.

I'm really interested to see how the offer sheet is put together since the current CBA bars poison pills, this ESPN blog does a pretty good job of explaining that clause: Inside Slant: Reminder on 'poison pills' with NFL transition tags - ESPN
Here's the language from the CBA:
No Offer Sheet may contain a Principal Term that would create rights or obligations for the Old Club that differ in any way (including but not limited to the amount of compensation that would be paid, the circumstances in which compensation would be guaranteed, or the circumstances in which other contractual rights would or would not vest) from the rights or obligations that such Principal Term would create for the Club extending the Offer Sheet (i.e., no 'poison pills').so all Jacksonville can do is structure it in a way that works a lot better for the Jags than the Browns, usually that would mean putting more money up front than the Browns could take, but if the Browns have more cap space than the Jags then I can't see how that would work
I was sort of wondering on that. How is that "opt out" clause even legal under the new CBA. I would think you'd have to make the opt out incentive based.
-
A couple of new up and comers that I have really been liking a lot include Chase Rice, Cole Swindell, and probably the least known of them all, Sam Hunt.
I dont know how to embedd youtube.

I know you said nevermind, but I had a picture that I really liked so I threw this together. Use it if you want.

Not bad. This doesnt dictate what we do at #4, and we add a solid veteran WR to a young WR core, provided he can stay healthy. Still think we're taking a WR as one of our first 3 picks, but it doesnt shut or open any doors.
-
Veteran linebacker D'Qwell Jackson agreed to a deal with the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday.
Jackson received four-year deal worth $22 million, including $11 million guaranteed, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Been one of my favorite players since we drafted him. 11M guaranteed seems a little high for his age and previous injury issues, but 22M for 4 years doesn't seem too bad. Supposedly he was looking for 6M a year.
Good luck D'Qwell. Have fun with Trent and Chud.

They're gonna be in cap hell for a while. If the salary cap number gets up to like 150 in a few years which seems to be a number people are suggesting it could get to, maybe they can find a way to avoid going over cap until that happens without having to get rid of some very important players. -
I hope Weeden goes somewhere and succeeds and rips Cleveland a new one.
If you've watched him play, I feel pretty confident that that wont happen.
It's also not even a given another team would pick him up. Sure it's only his 3rd year in the NFL, but he's also on the wrong side of 30... not a lot of time to try to correct stuff.
