Aneoth wrote: The leagues rule that we cannot trade any of our top 3 draft picks makes it all but impossible for the lowest rung of the teams to upgrade at any position. Since the more productive teams which have players that those lower producing teams need/want have little or NO interest in the crap players those lower teams CAN trade.

Per Yahoo (http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/football/rosters/football-68.html):This list does not affect your ability to swap a player between active and bench, or make a trade involving him. (Emphasis mine).Unfortunately I am not in the luddite league or I would take LJ off your hands.

Aneoth wrote:Did anyone watch that NO Aints game last night? Oh My God. Are the coaches simply stupid? Can they not see what EVERYONE else in the world can?Brees cant pass the ball with any authority or accuracy if he is constantly harassed by every defensive player on the opponents team AND none of his TE's, WR's, or RB's can find a way to get open and on the rare occasions when do get open, they drop the ball, or flick it into the defenses hands. The only offense seems to be Bush and even that is pathetic as far as overall production. But at least he does catch most of the tosses coming his way.This has been the same for all three games this season. You can tell Brees is totally frustrated and perhaps even desperate. See the 4 INT's he tossed last night (And the fumble too), too many of his pass attempts are being tossed into blanket coverage and most (if not all) of those passes should be tossed into the stands. He is playing like a rookie QB in his first game…..After watching the (lack of) effort by the Aints last night, I cannot see how NO will win any games this year. Unless the NFL competition committee adds some high school football teams to the Aints season schedule........... and they play late at night after bedtime.

Of course the Lions have a much better offensive front line than the Aints do)The Aints of New Orleans paid a high price for Bush... so freeking use him you buncha idiots............. sheese...........

News: A report out of Denver, according to myfoxcolorado.com, says Travis Henry has apparently tested positive for marijuana and a one-year suspension might be looming for the running back since it would be his second violation of the league's substance abuse policy. If this report is true, Selvin Young would take over as the starting tailback for the Broncos.
