dude, the holy grail of hockey is spending the next year in anaheim. that fact makes any geographically-based exclusions null and void.

the ruling on the field stands :p

So did Nicole take Joey Harrington in the draft? I know she was lusting after him as her starter! :D

i've been in a suicide pool for 3 or 4 years now, and we're just starting up this year's edition. $10 entry, standard rules (pick one winner per week, no picking the same team twice). run by a grad school buddy of mine, speadsheet sent out every week like clockwork. last year there were like 30 people in the pool.

participation is open to anyone and everyone - please PM me if you want to join and i'll hook you up with the guy who runs it.

INITIAL ANALYSIS OF THE DRAFT, using difference between overall pick number and Yahoo's projected rank number. Granted, K/TE/Defenses will almost always be reaches, and there will almost always be "value" at RB given the importance of RB's in fantasy football, but I still find it interesting.

ROD = Reaches of Draft
1) Ahmad Bradshaw (RB) at #173, Y! Rank #1740. Then again, at the bottom of the draft, I don't question taking a flyer on a young RB.
2) David Akers (K) at #45, Y! Rank #180. Wow.

SOD = Steals of Draft
1) Tatum Bell (RB) at #162, Y! Rank #64. Risky waiting until Round 14 for the 3rd RB, but it looks like it worked out for Salty.
2a) Brandon Jackson (RB) at #167, Y! Rank #71.
2b) Vernand Morency (RB) at #185, Y! Rank #89.

I took my defense (Dallas) and kicker (Neil Rackers) way too early (9th & 10th rounds), but getting Vernon Davis in the 8th round was my personal steal.

don't sleep on defence and kickers… remember:

Field Goals 0-19 Yards (3)
Field Goals 20-29 Yards (3)
Field Goals 30-39 Yards (3)
Field Goals 40-49 Yards (4)
Field Goals 50+ Yards (5)
Point After Attempt Made (1)
Sack (1)
Interception (2)
Fumble Recovery (2)
Touchdown (6)
Safety (2)
Block Kick (2)
Points Allowed 0 points (10)
Points Allowed 1-6 points (7)
Points Allowed 7-13 points (4)
Points Allowed 14-20 points (1)
Points Allowed 21-27 points (0)
Points Allowed 28-34 points (-1)
Points Allowed 35+ points (-4)

your defenses and kickers can bring in some decent points. mind you, maybe i'm just trying to justify my strategy of taking a defense (CHI) and a kicker (vinatieri) in rounds 6 & 7 :eek:

Actually, there was quite a bit of talk about my lusting for Joey Harrington. In the draft chat I was asked what QB I thought was the hottest…But in the end, I left him lonely, with only the Falcons and his piano to keep him company.

I thank you for giving me the No. 1 reach of the fantasy draft. Which can be attributed to the fact that he's my boy. We went to Marshall together and I'm going to give him a shot. But if he blows it…so help me God…

hey… i'm not alone in the harrington love either.

the gays love him too!

"I'm excited about the season and yes, I find Harrington attractive. Who wouldn't?" says Gregory Hendricks, a gay Falcons fan in Atlanta. "Even my gay friends who don't like football, they like him. All of my friends who hate sports, once they see him they say, 'Hey, I'll go to a game to see him.' "

now this i don't understand… it's not as if you get to see him prancing about topless - he's covered in pads and a helmet! if your intention is to check him out, why bother?
