No idea, he has the most solid team in the league so I don't know what he is looking for in general, I guess a top 3 back.

Eh, might not be plausible. I definitely wouldn't sell low on Tomlinson.

Tell the guy you're interested in either Walker or Jordan or both and that everyone on your team except Tomlinson is on the market. Tell him you're willing to deal Tomlinson, but his price is still very high. See what he comes up with. Sometimes people surprise you.

Other than that, shop McNabb and Young around to the teams with QB problems.

I've actually never called in sick in 4 years. I've used a sick day a few times, but never called in that morning to say I wasn't going to be there. Of course I've also left after lunch on Friday's many many times so it all evens out.

My team:

Mcnabb (BLAH)
LT
Fred Taylor
Drew Jones
(I just lost Deuce Mcllaister for the season so he was released)
Fitzgerald
Cotchery
Dallas Clark
Bears D/ST
David Akers

Bench
Michael Turner
Vince Young
Favre
Delhomme
Shaun Mcdonald
Calvin Johnson
Alex Smith (Bucs TE)

He has:
Tom Brady
Westbrook
McGahee
Jordan
Torry Holt
Boldin
Vernon Davis
49ers D/ST
Josh Brown

Bench:
Javon Walker
Joe Horn
Brandon Marshall
Dolphins D/ST
Isaac Bruce
Derek Anderson

I really feel like I need to unload LT after I lost Deuce because right now I have absolutely no one scoring consistent points (especially with LT struggling) and have no #2 RB or any Wideouts. I'm in a terrible situation.


LT for Westbrook, Walker, and Horn

I had a class towards my major in college that was at 7:50 where we weren't allowed to wear sandals, hats or pajama pants.

Now, I might be willing to make it to a class at 7:50, but I'm damn sure waking up at 7:45 to get there.

I once had an 8 o'clock class where attendance was required, but the professor very frequently didn't show up...so we'd wait around for 15 minutes, the TA would take attendance, and then we could leave. Unfortunately, I had a class in the building nearby at 9, so I didn't have time to go home. Always a nice waste of a morning.

I honestly just play whenever I feel like it, I don't necessarily play more depending on the day, however, I should be playing more hands overall.

Dude that's way early... wake up at 8:00 and go back to damn sleep when you get to class.

I once took a different track of stat classes after passing 205. All I needed was 206... but they always held it at 8am... I figured it was worth throwing away 4 credits to my free electives and taking 201, 202, and 203 just so I wouldn't have to wake up early.

I'm pretty sure I would've been thrilled that the professor didn't show up when I was in college. I'd be pissed off now.

I didn't sleep much as a freshman. My "advisor" helped me put together a schedule with 21 hours of class for the first quarter. I did have second closest dorm room to the lecture hall. I set my alarm for 8:02 to make my 8:05.

Yeah I play uber long sessions on Friday nights when I stay in... and it's always after work so prolly not so smart.

However, around midnight to 2 A.M. on fridays Bodog always has INCREDIBLY juicy games... too bad it's always holdem.
