Leader Board Cleanup time....

Leader Board cleanup...

Are you sick of seeing people get on the leaderboard and then not do anymore throwdowns?

Perfect Examples: Sox4Life and Gator4Life.

So starting today through the week I will send out a challenge to each person on the leaderboard and I am willing to bet you that out of the 8 people up there maybe 1 will accept.

I will be sending out challenges to the following people

 Sox4Life (and don't think he isn't still on this site he just made  his nfl picks for week 2 in our nfl pick em group)

The Vince Young Disease....

The Vince Young disease

Many people including maybe half the people on this page have come down with this illness.

The symptoms...

Overrating
Hype
Believing that Titans are a legit playoff team this year
Telling people Vince Young is a good passing QB
Ranking Vince Young in the Top 10 of QBs
Putting him on the cover of Madden


Now I will be the first to admit that Vince Young is good at scrambling and making the play with his feet in clutch moments but after that what does he bring to the table?

What could have been...Arizona Cardinals

I saw a throwdown where somebody did this with Cleveland and it made me think. Arizona as had some high draft picks and most have not developed. What could have been the Arizona Cardinals with good drafting... 

All Players I select in the redo were drafted AFTER Arizona's pick and were drafted in the 1st round ONLY.  

 

Lets start 

 1996 - Arizona selected @ #3 Simeon Rice great pick, but not for them.

        My pick : LT - Jonathan Ogden 

Early look at Fantasy Football

Ok its still early but with fantasy football leagues starting to open up, I've decided to go through the Top 5 at each position for now. Closer to August when most people begin to draft I will give a full ranking at each position.

 QB

1. Peyton Manning - Easy choice for #1 every year

2. Tom Brady - How can his numbers not go up with all these WR's

3. Carson Palmer - This was a tough one with Brees but Palmer has better WRs and is always solid
