    Awesome! How does it handle the winnings? I'm guessing right back in the account or do they mail a check out?

    Financial's Management websites

    Anyone use a site to manage your league's finance's? Maybe give some info on how they actually work? I've looked at a few, SportsVault and LeagueSafe. LeagueSafe says it's free but as you dig deeper there's a 3% charge for credit/debit cards. SportsVault says it's 100% free but I think it says the winnings can't be more than the entry fee. Just seems a bit confusing. They make it seem like it's easy and free. Not sure if that's the case. I've ran a free league for years, a few years ago we tried playing for money and was a disaster collecting from everyone. If I can make it easy, i may give it another shot. Since half of the league is scattered across the country, anyway I can make use of a credit card for payment would make it a lot easier. Any info you have on your experiences would be greatly appreciated!

    I just drafted him in the 2nd (10-team league ) I'm a little nervous.

    Draft Buddy Sounds

    Still did the same thing. The sound file is only 5K in size. Seems like it didn't download correctly.

    Draft Buddy Sounds

    It took some messing around with but I was finally able to save the playSound.scptd. Safari saved it with ".html" at the end then I removed it once I had it saved on my desktop. Not sure if this is a compressed file like a zip file but it doesn't do much when I try to open it. Anyway, I have this file and the draft buddy saved on my desktop. When i try to play a sound i get a Microsoft Visual Basic error, "Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument." I'm running Office 2011 for Mac. Any thoughts?

    Fred Jackson or Matte Forte?

    I've got the same dilemma, but no PPR. I'm leaning towards Jackson, but not by much just because it seems to be the safer pick. Forte has been almost non-existent except for a few huge games. I don't expect to see another monster week from him this week against a tough run defense.

    Colston

    I got some pretty decent running backs and need WR's in a desperate way. I was offered Colston for Jamal Charles and was hoping to sell high on him coming off a somewhat decent game, but Colston seems to be off and Brees has a bunch of targets and spreads the ball around with the best of them. What are your thoughts on Colston going forward? He's definately got the skill to explode, but putting up only 25 yards when Brees throws for 350+ and 3 TD's doesn't look promising.

    Tell my why Ray Rice is a top 5 pick

    I think baltimore will throw the ball more with Boldin now on the team, but I'm just not all aboard the Joe Flacco band wagon. He's a pretty good QB, but the Ravens are a running team and RR is one of the best in the league with the O-line. I think he will see more goal line opportunities even with McGahee. I'd feel very good about drafting him at 6, even a pick or two earlier.

    Ryan Matthews

    I'm not buying all the hype. If he's there late in the 2nd, i'll think about grabbing him but probably not till the 3rd if he's still there - and if he's not, then I'm not going to sweat it. Too much of a risk for a 1st or early 2nd round pick. I'd rather go for better value in going for Jahvid Best a few rounds later who COULD perform just as good, but with less risk involved since it's a few rounds later.

    Running back apprehensiveness...

    2 year ago i used this same strategy and took home the championship, last year i went for the more traditional drafting method of targeting RB's mostly because we get 6 points for all TD's so the QB's went early (6 in the first round last year). Long story short, my RB's bombed for me (I thought LT2 was going to have a bounce-back year, I was dead wrong). I'm going back to going for a QB in the 1st then go for some of my targeted RB's a little later (4th-6th rounds), otherwise I'll stock on WR's until some of my targeted RB's in the early middle rounds. If you can get those diamond in the rough RB's in the later rounds, which you should be able to easily find with some homework, then I think you're getting the best value. I want my first 2 or 3 picks to be as low-risk as possible and getting a top QB is pretty low risk. Plus, I feel that WR's are so unpredictable, so I want to get the ones at the top to minimize risk. Then i'll gamble on the RB's because they can perform almost just as good as the ones at the top if you get the right ones. But if i can draft one of the top 4 RB's I'll go that direction and hope for a decent QB in the 2nd. I also like to target those handfuff'd RB's in the later rounds (after the 8th) in case the starter gets hurt (which is a pretty good gamble).
