    My Thoughts On Caddy Williams

    I Know I wrote this after week 2.. Still have the same issues... I start 'em he does squat.. I bench 'em he produces. This guy is killing me!
  5. Ever taste something that is so good you'll continue to eat it even after it's rotten? Have you ever stuck by somebody knowing full well that you will be disappointed yet again? Have you ever lied so much to yourself that you actually start to believe your own BS? Well I am here to say... MY Name is Steven Mann and I am the consumer of rotten fruit, I am a self confessed liar and I am also full of S**t! Exhibit (A) Cadillac Williams. I couldn't have been happier 3 years ago to take a flyer on some kid outta Auburn. Sure he split carries in school, sure he wasn't huge, but hey it's the 5th round what am I clinging too? He's gonna start... time to #### the Hammer! "With the first pick in the 5th round, Fizzy Womack selects RB Cadillac Williams, Tampa Bay Bucs. OK so I took one rookie, I still had Warrick Dunn and awww man I forget whom else. But again I felt I had enough there to take a shot at Caddy. Week One: 148 yrds 1 TD (Very Impressed, you may even say shocked/stunned) Week Two: 128 yrds 1 TD (OK pinch me... Maybe I should Scout For The NFL does the scouting Dept in Buffalo have a Toll Free?) Week Three: 158 0 TDs (OK come on...We are on pace for 8 thousand yards and 48 TD's!!!!) SIDE BAR: My Math is as bad as the dead possum that calls William Shatters Head Home. But regardless it was like finding Gold... GOLD JERRY GOLD! Here I am 3 years later with a rotten apple... A lump of Coal... The Rue Mcclanahan of RB's. Sexy at first then you come to the blazing conclusion that he's just a washed up Skank! My once Beautiful Bride has now turned into Star Jones. (I'm talk'n bout the heavier Star Jones, not the Carnie Wilson knock off Star Jones) Lets be honest there is no attraction anymore, we don't talk anymore and to be honest I would be more than happy to let any of my friends 'Tap Dat" Boy was I ever fooled by you Caddy. BUT the bigger question that remains is why the hell can't I get out of this relationship? Be a man dammit.. Let her GO. One man's Trash is another man's treasure. Walk out that door and don't look back. You can do better. So last Monday I started to think of ways to get out. I don't wanna hurt her; I had to find the right angle. Sure I could have played the injury card (yet again). But I decided it was time to make a deal. Trading Caddy to me was like asking a BMW driver to test-drive this beautiful new Hyundai Tiburon. Regardless it was worth a shot. First offer: Caddy and Ronald Curry for Frank Gore. Ya I know crazy! But the Gore owner in my league is Bi -Polar and heavily medicated. I thought just maybe I'd be able to slip one past the goal line. I guess the effects of the Carbamazepine were negated by all the malt liquor as I was told to go F**k myself. After a few more trade offers to more well balanced individuals in my league. I came to the conclusion that this was one washed up broad. Nobody wanted to touch her even with a great schedule. So back to square one... What can I do? How can I sell the 2005 Caddilac in 2007? I figure I've held her for this long...maybe with the right hair and make-up she can be sexy again. Maybe she just set the bar too high in 2005. Sure she may still have some fantasy appeal in a swim suit, but I've had her. I dont need to tell any other team owners that once that top comes off you are looking at 2 fried eggs hanging off a nail. That I will keep to myself. If I could get Mike Alsott Back it would be alot easier for me to just let her go. Goal line carries are a strong deterent indeed. But no that SOB has to retire the year I re-draft Caddy. If Alsott was still there, I wouldn't even help her pack... Her ##### would be all over the lawn with a note that says Thanks for 3 great weeks... See you in Hell! But no, this year Mike retires and I am informed thru various sites that Caddy is getting the goal line. GREAT!!! NOT!!!! Now what... Again as a fool I see a glimmer of potential yet again. Maybe I am the one who should be on a strict diet of anticonvulsant medication and malt liquor. enough is enough.. I gotta get outta this relationship already! Fast forward to week 2. Monday: Doubtful Tuesday: Doubtful (keep an eye on Pittman) Wednesday: May Dress, will not see enough action to be worth a starting spot. Thursday: Fitted with a special jacket went through practice, Friday: Probable, Saturday: Will Play, Sunday: 2 FREAKING TDS!!!! I HATE YOU CADDY I HATE YOU AS MUCH A MAN LIKE MYSELF CAN HATE AN ATHLETE WHO MAKES MORE MONEY PER GAME THEN I DO PER YEAR! I obviously had him on my bench. No sense in having him start, knowing that I would take a high five and a juice box for him. Asking Caddy too score 2 TD's to me was like asking Bea Aurthur not to be a large man! It's Sunday morning... I am now ready to sever this relationship once and for all. Just one small hurdle... By 4 pm Sunday I have fallen in love all over again. Why did you have to score 2 tds? What am I gonna do now? Who am I kidding I am a weak pathetic man! I love you Caddy and I will never let you go! You are my soul mate! You complete me! Yet you suck! See ya in next week! Yours Truly Steven Mann
  6. The Wire WEEK 4: Add’s… If any or all of these players are NOT currently on your roster you may wanna take a second look. The following may not be worth wasting a waiver claim on, but they may add some depth to your team and perhaps get you thru an injury or bye week. ***Disclaimer*** Allow me to point out that I am by no means claiming to be an ‘expert’. Nor am I insisting you follow my lead. I’m kinda like you, just a another guy who loves Fantasy Football. ADD/ADORE/APPEASE/APPLAUD Door #1: BRIAN LEONARD!!!! Short Term (At least Jackson Owners are hoping) If you haven’t heard Steven Jackson will miss at least Week 4 with a partial tear of his groin. Groin injuries scare the crap outta me. Whether it’s a strain, a tear or a good swift kick from a chetlin pony… Bottom line is the groin is one place I’d like to remain injury free. Brian Leonard will now become the Rams' new starting running back. Leonard should get the goal-line carries, he’s also a terrific receiver, so 20 touches minimum is probably a good bet. Not to mention that St. Louis has very favorable match-ups against Dallas and Arizona in Weeks 4 & 5. If you own Jackson and drafted Leonard late as a cuff, Nice move Young Jedi. If you need a fill in for week 4 this could be your guy. Survey says: Add Now He's Gonna be a stud for a few weeks! Door # 2: RODDY WHITE. OK pretend it’s Week 1… You look at me and say “ What’s gonna happen first this fantasy season: #1) An Atlanta Receiver (outside of Crumpler) will be deemed worthy of a fantasy roster spot or #2) Osama Bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawahiri would be splitting carries in Miami. To be honest I would probably lean towards the latter. Ok, now let us fast forward to week 4. Surprisingly enough it turns out that Al Qaeda has no involvement in the Miami backfield, however the more stunning news is that Roddy White is actually a decent addition to your fantasy squad. Last week Mr. White had 4 grabs and 81 yards. Not bad fantasy numbers at all… that’s a 20.3 average per catch. Week 3 was even better as Mr. White had 7 grabs for 127 and a TD! I’m no mathematician but that’s 208 yards and 1 td in 2 weeks? Dem, be some solid numbers, not to mention somewhat surprising and quite unexpected. After back to back games like that, now maybe the time to add Roddy White to your roster, he may turn out to be a solid #3 option or bye week fill in. Survey Says: Adore Take a chance... Door #3 KEVIN WALTER: You can call this addition by subtraction. OK, let’s do the math here… Andre Johnson: Down (could be for as long as 3 more weeks) Andre’ Davis: Down (Dislocated finger) Super Sleeper Jacoby Jones: Down. (Separated shoulder) Hmmm… The way I see it is unless Houston has a pre game promotion giving one lucky fan the chance to start, that leaves only Jerome Mathis and Kevin Walter. So, pick your poison, Walter or Mathis, Mathis or Walter. Personally, asking me to choose between these 2 WR’s is the equivalent of asking me who who’d I rather court: Margaret Cho, or Condoleezza Rice. In which case, chemical castration immediately becomes an alternative option. Let’s cut to the chase here. The bottom line is that somebody has to catch the ball in Houston. I say stash Walter on your bench. Who knows when the rest of the WR corps is going to be healthy again. I can see Walter putting up 70-85 yards and perhaps a TD. Maybe not VS ATL next week, but decent stats could be in store in for week 5 (barring the return of Johnson) VS. Miami. Again I wouldn’t waste a waiver spot on ‘em, but he is worth a ‘flyer’. Again don’t start ‘em if you have better options, but if Walter becomes your best option next week, allow me to apologize on behalf of every fantasy football player that has ever played this game. And on behalf of all of us… Thanks man… Its guys like you that give guys like me a ‘W’. Play on playa. Survey Says: Appease Door #4: (Short Term Add) KURT WARNER aka ‘Wiatron Warner’ Just like clockwork, it seems that at some point every year Kurt Warner becomes a viable waiver wire addition. In my humble opinion, Kurt Warner is the Wiarton Willie of the NFL. Each and every year you patiently wait to see him, hoping for good things there after. Well my friends the good news is that yesterday in Baltimore, good ‘Ole Wiarton popped his head out, and with a little luck and some assistance from coach Whisenhunt, there just might be 6 more weeks of fantasy value. Matt Leinart was yanked yesterday after completing 9-of-20 passes for just 53 yards against the Ravens. Enter 36-year-old Wiarton Warner. All Kurt did was rally the Cards from a 17 point deficit, and he looked damn good in the process. Sure they lost on a last minute field goal but the numbers don’t lie…. 15 for 20, 258 yards and 2 TD’s. (No Int’s) Now that’s a good game my friends. I understand that the future is Matt Leinhart but if the Cards wanna win now it’s time to make a change. (Again just my personal opinion) I would suggest that if you do own Leinhart, stash ‘Wiatron Warner’ on your bench, as far as back-ups or positional ‘cuffs’ you can’t do much better at the QB spot. Keep your eye on that situation. Please Note: If you should decide not to add him simply because his wife looks a bit like a Pez Dispenser…. I understand completely. Survey says: Applaud... If Whisenhunt gives him a fair shot next week, he could take the reins for good. (Crazy predeiction but stranger things have happened) Keep an eye on... DAUNTE CULPEPPER I still find myself thinking back to the ’03 and ’04 season, when you’d hear the name Culpepper mentioned in the same sentence as Manning rather than McCowan. Boy how things change. After 3 wasted seasons and 1 semi-productive half of football Daunte Culpepper is back on the fantasy radar with a blip, rather than a blast. What’s the outlook for the rest of the season? Is he gonna produce QB#1 or #2 numbers? Who knows… Personally I think Oakland has some decent tools to work with. Granted that Ronald Curry isn’t Randy Moss, however Lamont Jordon isn’t Michael Bennett, Onterrio Smith, Moe Williams, or Mewelde Moore. (And for that all Lamont Jordon owners of the world give thanks.) If he’s out there, take a chance on Daunte. He could turn out to be a decent bye week fill in. Or try freaking your entire league out by claiming Lester Ricard, Jac QB... Try Sending an e-mail to your entire league with the subject line: Early Bird Get’s the worm Sucka’s. See what happens. The Following are also some other names being kicked around... - Ron Dayne (again) - Jeff King - Decent 2nd TE - Aaron Stecker (Deuce is done) Cuff - Kenny Watson RB - Nate Washington WR - Brandon Jones (again) WR - David Carr QB - Kyle Boller QB The Drops… DROP/DITCH/DROWN/DISCARD Problem: DESHAWN WYNN 7 days can make really make a difference eh? After Week 2 and running for 50 yards and 2 scores, this cat was claimed in several leagues. On Sept 18th The Green Bay Press-Gazette said “DeShawn Wynn will get more carries at halfback this week and could displace Brandon Jackson as the Green Bay Packers' primary halfback”. That’s after 50 yards rushing??? 38 of which came on one play? Alrighty lets just assume that he’d run for 110 yards. On Sept 18th The Green Bay Press-Gazette said “DeShawn Wynn will get more carries at halfback this week and could displace Brandon Jackson as the Green Bay Packers' primary halfback, as well as replacing Mike McCarthy as head coach, James J Schmitt as mayor, and Muskellunge as Wisconsin’s state’s fish. Please get a grip people… On Sunday, Wynn wasted a timeout after breaking the huddle to get himself off the field. After the game McCarthy said “I don't think that will happen again. That was a first for me. Someone calls a timeout and you don't know where it came from. I think we'll correct that.” Ya think so Mike? The inmates have taken over the asylum. Yes Wynn had a bad wheel, but he left in the 4th after 2 carries and 9 yards. If I’m a Brandon Jackson owner, I’m not losing sleep over this. If you own Jackson perhaps there is method to the madness. However if you picked up Wynn thinking he was Derrick Ward you straight tripp’n! Solution: Drop ‘Em … If ya need a Fill in or better flex option, Brian Leonard may be out there. Grab ‘em ASAP! S-Jax has some groin issues Problem: J.P. LOSMAN I admit even though I didn’t draft J.P. I was very curious to see if he could build on a decent second half of last season. (I’m also a Bills fan Shhh.) There were games last year when J.P and Lee Evans looked tighter than Rosie O’Donnell wearing Hide & Sleek fatty pants. In hindsight, am I ever glad I didn’t waste a pick on him. Confession: I can’t hate on anyone that did. I too would have taken a shot on him had he been there late. (Like round 70). Needless to say that J.P. is not only a bust he’s also injured now. Losman has an MCL sprain and is expected to miss a few weeks. He probably won’t be back till after the Buffalo bye week in week 6. The following week Buffalo faces Baltimore, so now is the time to drop JP. If you are thinking about picking Up Edwards you probably are the same guy who answers all the e-mails in your bulk folder too. Good luck to ya. Solution: Ditch Problem: REX GROSSMAN It’s hard to believe that this was a starting QB in last years Super Bowl. Watching the Dallas game yesterday, I came to the conclusion that he’s just awful. Actually, awful isn’t even strong enough a word. Def Leopard is awful, Rex Grossman is Putrid. Rex Grossman makes JP Losman look like Roger Staubach, yet JP Losman makes my cousin Andrew look like John Elway, and John Elway makes my Aunt Mimmie seem really attractive. What does all this mean? I gotta be honest I really have no idea! BUT if Rex is on your roster cut him as of yesterday. You can try and trade him, but as of this moment you’d be lucky to get a Bagot Goat and a lean cuisine in return. He’s done like dinner. Bye Bye Rex, enjoy the Arena League. Solution: Drown Problem: DANTE STALLWORTH Remember when you were in public school and some kid had a birthday? Chances are that the kid’s mother packed 17 cupcakes for a class of 18 students. Somebody was always left out… Well Dante Stallworth you’re number 18! Thanks for coming out. Dante has pilled up 4 catches and 66 yards… Not bad for one drive, unfortunately that’s through the first 3 games. What’s more embarrassing is Brady has shown love to everyone in that offense except you. They’d sooner see Big Bob Kraft in motion then throw you a 5 yard out. Bottom line with a QB like Brady, there is no excuse for this! If I owned you I’d probably ditch you just for spite. Solution: I really don’t know. The truth is that if I had owned him even as my 3rd I’d probably still hold out a bit longer. I’d Hope for 3 things. 1) A Big game, some good press then start sending out the trade offers. 2) wait patiently for Randy Moss, Ben Watson, Wes Welker; Laurence Maroney, Sammy Morris, and Bob Kraft take a leave of absence. 3) Just wait and see… Resign yourself that you may have gotten yourself a bust. Good Luck in Week 4 S.Mann

    Rate This Team

    Your WR's are SICK!!!!!!
  11. Thanks for the reply... I love Bryant this year as my 3rd!
  12. Wanted to get your advice on this trade. I am in a Keeper league I went into the draft with the 8th pick. I kept Caddy and S. Smith. So we started our draft in round 3. Anyway after the draft my team was as follows. qb: Vick, Leftwich, Frye rb: Caddy, Dunn, Jamal, Benson, Pittman wr: Smith, Branch, Braylon, Antonio Bryant, Greg Jennings te: Gates SO... I felt I needed a top WR 2 to play with Smith. I wound up dealing Benson and Dion Branch (to a T. Jones owner) for Plaxico straight up. I did give up alot of upside with Benson, and perhaps a future keeper. BUT both players wouldnt even start for me unless it was on a bye week. (easy to say that before the season) I just felt now with Smith Plax and Bryant I look more stable at that position. I will pick up Musa to Cuff Jamal and I think I am looking good. I didnt trust Benson OR teh Branch situation. I didnt wanna go into the year with that many questions. Even though I gave up alot I fell I have a better starting team. Plus there are always nuggets on teh wire. Thoughts? Help a brotha out. Thanks guys
