football_scooter 0 Posted June 24, 2006 9.05 Antonio Bryant, WR San Francisco. hey, Scooter.....keep an eye on this guy for me. The only one you need to look out for is the guy throwing him the ball. We all know how good Bryant can be... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoloMatisse 0 Posted June 24, 2006 Are you crazy Solo I have a great big going on about my team! Youve got a solid team, Joc. You know Im just joshin'. Larry Johnson gives you a major advantage over every other team, imo. But I think I just took command of this draft with the Antonio Bryant pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rye & Leaf 0 Posted June 24, 2006 I think I just took command of this draft with the Antonio Bryant pick. Antonio is a good pick. He could be a #2 receiver, though he could just as easily be a #4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jocstrap 8 Posted June 24, 2006 Antonio Bryant was circled on my list as a possibility and he is the #40 wr in the mag. What mag is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoloMatisse 0 Posted June 24, 2006 Bryant does have a load of talent....there's no doubt about it. And he could very well be my 4th best WR considering Im not done drafting stud WRs, and he's got a questionable QB situation that will contribute to his success. But his statistical chart shows improvement each year, capped by his 1st 1000yd season in '05 which was his 4th season, so he's coming into his prime and considering Cleveland's QB situation was a little questionable and that division he played was arguably a tougher defensive division, Im optimistic that Bryant could develop into somewhat of a force as the #1 with the Niners. Though admittedly, Im not sold on the starting QB at all, but Bryant will benefit from Ds paying close attention to the other key players(ahem....ahem!) and the Norv Turner designed running game. But considering that the NFC West will be a very high scoring division, I can see the Niners throwing the ball more than most teams, and Bryant is without a doubt the best theyve got. I expect 70-80 catches and over 1000yds with about 6 or 7 TDs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoloMatisse 0 Posted June 25, 2006 Clash- love the Vick pick, and with the thought you put into that one, and considering your 'player' lifestyle, Ill start thinking of you as "Carl Mexico". can I do that? I wont really reference you as Carl per say, just think of you as the Carlster. Kindof a Ron/bill murray/dhali lhama/caddy-loser feel to it. Carllllllllllllll, man Im trying to get a feel for your schedule.....it seems an unusual one. you carrying the level 18 high-security clearance card over there or what?? I mean, I know the Carl Mexicos of the world come and go as they please with exclusive privelege, but youre definitely my personal nominee for the 'Vampire Chronicles' award. Glad you made your pick........now go suck some blood and eat a friggin' candy bar already, Carl. We're moving again fellas. The renegade has made his pick.

SoloMatisse 0 Posted June 25, 2006 An official Grateful Parrot sighting! GP, hope youre having a blast down there at Disney. As you can see, we're stuck for a moment in the 7 hole and not exactly setting the world on fire, so youre not up yet. If you get a list of about 10 players you'd like me to choose for you should you miss your slot, then Ill make the picks. Hit me with a personal message or email. Glad to see you checkin' in. and your team is looking solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grateful Parrot 0 Posted June 25, 2006 Hey brother...still having a blast. I sent Guru a list of 3 possible picks for 9.11. None of these guys have been picked yet. I'm going to send him a email for 10.2 which maybe those will be done today. Thanks for the offer. I'm a little behind on my update sheets, but I'm sure I can get this done. Now, if Guru's unable to pick later, maybe you could get him to send you my list to pick for me. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ace08 11 Posted June 25, 2006 According to "ADP"...I probably selected Winslow a round or 2 too early... But I just didn't want to take a risk since there's still a team behind me on the turn that has no tight end. I value this guy probably alot more than most....but I've been watching him since high school and I know what he's capable of. I have him ranked as my #2 TE right behind Gates. Crazy? Maybe.....but he's the best tight end I've ever seen. Period. 1000 yards and 8 TD's are what I'm expecting from him. He's better than his father, which is saying something. He'll be a 3rd round pick in next year's fantasy drafts. I know these are strong words and really sound like a stretch......but he's my absolute sleeper of the year. The guy I think will most make an impact on fantasy rosters being selected in the middle to late rounds. Just remember you heard it here first. (Side note: If he does nothing and is an absolute bust then it was Solo's idea and he made me do it ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cleveland Browns player taken in the first three rounds of a fantasy draft? Now that would be something.

SoloMatisse 0 Posted June 25, 2006 that was a wildcard pick, Ace, and I like you hangin' it out there and going with Winslow. I dont really feel your top 2 status, but I know you love your Miami guys, and in the 9th round, how much wrong can you do anyway? Youve had a rock solid draft so far, so imo you can really afford to take a few chances. I love the declaration of the pick. Ill be watching him with interest this year. Grateful Parrot is on the clock and still at Disney, so we're waiting for Old Guru to step in a make a pick for him. Wow, Steel, going for a knucklehead....I, mean a uh backup QB already?? With so much other talent out there? I love it. Good for the rest of us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

football_scooter 0 Posted June 25, 2006 I am having a blast in sunny San Diego too......Zoo, Sea world, Old town, La Jolla.....focking yes Move along folks.....lets go If I can make a recommendation to you guys, have dinner at Carnitas in the Gas Lamp district. Fantastic food. I worked down there for 6 months, and that was my favorite restaurant. And if you're wondering what to order, get the carnitas plate. Fresh corn tortillas, all the fixin's - best carnitas ever. Melts in your mouth. Pork shoulder slow-oven roasted/broiled until it fries itself in its own fat and just falls off the bone - could anything possibly taste better? I think not. Take my advice: go to Carnitas for dinner - they have a great selection of premium tequilas, too. But I just didn't want to take a risk since there's still a team behind me on the turn that has no tight end. I'm more concerned that you're scoping out other people's tight ends...sounds kinda ghay. Just saying...not that there's anything wrong with that. countdown to Ace's overreaction to this post in 3.......2.......1.......*wah!* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoloMatisse 0 Posted June 26, 2006 Grateful Parrot Yesterday, 06:15 AM Post #434 FF Geek Group: Members Posts: 623 Joined: 4-June 02 Member No.: 11727 Hey guys. Sorry my time management has sucked! I haven't read this thread cause I'm headed back out. But I assume all you guys are bashing me...I'm officially offended, yeah right. I'm having a fantastic time with my my wife and daughter. I checked who's been picked. Thanks Solo for jumping in. Not my top picks, but begger's cant be choosers...and I like the stradegy anyway. I email Guru my next 3 guys on my list as a target. The kid's been wearing down and thus gives me a little time to check in, finally. Again, sorry for extreme delay. As long as this draft has taken, surely one of these past nights we could have all agreed to be online and do a live draft, but you know...hindsight. I'm off to MGM today. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clash, for what it is worth, as the above post indicates, GP has sent me a list for his next picks. I don't believe he feels he has to check in anytime soon. He probably figures he is covered for a couple of days. He also indicated in the above post that he was fine with the stradegy that was used on his last two picks. If he is fine with it, then why pursue a trade on the premise that he is not? Do as see fit, as I am just trying to help out for those that need their picks posted. I must say that I don't understand why you have allowed your time to lapse. As far as your comment on Sweetness getting all weekend, as an outside observer, it is my opinion that two wrongs do not make a right. I have probably said more than I should. But, you guys can finish this thing just the way you started it, if everyone would make their picks in a timely manner without any excuses. Think positive. Just my thinking. As far as GP's pick if it gets that far, I have an 8:00 am tee time in a tourney. I will be able to check back in around 3:00 pm CT tomorrow. Good luck to everyone on their picks. Guru- what happened.......you get drunk after the tournament?? Make a pick for Parrot already, you HACK!! Look man...I told Parrot to send ME his picks , but he already had you lined up, and now youre pulling the vanishing act. nice of you to volunteer to help, but if youre not gonna be here what good are , you?

oldguru 0 Posted June 26, 2006 Ellisonb11, I would volunteer to make your picks for you. However, I am going to be involved in a three day golf tourney this Fri thru Sun. I will only be able to check in after 11:00 pm each day. *Your picks, if given to me, must be in the order you want them taken. I would not feel comfortable using any descretion on your behalf. I would be glad to help if I can. Guys, I am truely sorry if I held up your draft. I posted this fairly early last week about my weekend schedule. I knew that I wouldn't be able to check in until after 11:00 pm because of the drive time. I also checked early each morning. Now, I am back ready to start the week. I normally check on you guys about every 3 to 4 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For what it is worth, Solo, when I posted that I would be able to check in at 3:00pm "tomorrow" I made that post at 2:28 am friday nite. The tomorrow I was referring to would have been Sat when I had an 8:00 am tee time. I did check in about 3:00 pm on Sat. My tee time Sunday was at 1:30 pm. So....that is what happened to 3:00pm.
