Anyone not in a Fantasy League and want to join one (I have one set-up but won't fill all spaces) or have one that they have spaces for and are drafting over the next few days...I'm interested.
(Apologies if this is all way back on the thread)

We are running our annual fantasy league with 10 of us for this year, but our draft was a few weeks ago now.
I'd certainly struggle to manage 2 so thanks for the invite, but not for meMadness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

About Kaep's protest. It's not something that I would personally do but I believe it's his right to do so. I don't know anything about the guy personally but he seems to have a bad rap amongst a few (more than a few), but I don't care about that. The NFL is full of idiots and people who have done far worse than sit during a national anthem e.g., drugs, cheating, rape, murder, child abuse, etc.
What pisses me off is that some people are twisting around his protest into something that he's not protesting and then giving him crap for it. That is, the military. People were saying that he was disrespecting the military which affords us our freedoms even after he was interviewed and explicitly said that was not his intent.
The American national anthem also contains a couple of lines about slavery, so, yeah, there's that too:

Completely agree. There's something wrong when the media spin machine twists the actual issue, police violence against black people in the US, which deserves contemplation and thought, into something which is clearly inarguable in the current climate; 'armed forces deserve respect'.
But the interesting question politically is what is the motivation for the MSM spinning the story in this way? Having a dialogue about ending the current racial tension violence and bitterness would be in everyone's interests I would've thought?
I'm following the Dakota oil pipeline story online at the moment, and I'm totally shocked at the way this tribe is getting its lands violated without consultation or recompense, equally shocked by the reality of security men setting dogs on protestors, and also shocked by the almost total lack of coverage of both. I have quite politically aware friends in the states who were totally unaware it was even happening, it's not 'news', possibly because there's no celebrity involvement.Last edited by hibsbollah; 08-09-2016 at 08:13 PM.

Its a really odd situation to observe. I agree it's his right to do, and I don't believe what he's doing shows any disrespect to the armed forces. He certainly seems to be getting more hassle than some of the others who've committed worse crimes as you've mentioned.
CK hasn't been a popular person in the states for sometime from what I've seen, I wonder if there's an element of that in the responses he's experienced.

Couldn't stay up to watch that last night - was exhausted by 11pm.
Surprised at the score though - I expected absolutely nothing from Denver this year!Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

At the end of the day the MSM gets to decide what the public needs to know about which is why I try to seek out other sources. Unfortunately all the sources I seem to find are biased one way or the other.

I've been an NFL watcher for a while without really being a fan but starting to get into it a bit more concluding with entering my first fantast league with guys from work. Bengals fan personally. Had sucha great chance last year before Dalton went down. Be a bit tougher this season but can still see us in the playoffs

Had to autopick my second fantasy league. Ended up with Brees, Lacy, Gronk, ODBJ and the Panthers D. Ridiculous!

I was on a while ago looking for help with picking a team and although I still haven't committed to a franchise I will be going to my 1st game tomorrow. I'm in with a few Packers fans at Jacksonville, does anyone have any predictions for the score? I'm still getting to grips with the game but you can't swith the tv or radio on over here without getting NFL content so my knowledge is getting better.

Woo hoo, NFL Sundays are back. I sat Kelvin Benjamin in my fantasy team as wasn't sure how many snaps he'd take on Thursday night after his ACL. 90 yards and a touchdown later I've got 15 points sitting on my bench, raging.

Jacksonville were the whipping boys of the NFL for the past few seasons but they've drafted really well this year and are a lot of peoples pick for the AFC south, should be a great game against a fantastic Packers offence. Enjoy the game!

They still call Eddie Lacy fat on Sky sports, that is so last season. He just tore the Jags a new one.

Tough game but well earned win, I think the jags will surprise a few this year.

After the draft i had a look at what defences were available and traded the jets for the redskins.
Then last week someone dropped the Vikings from thier line-up and i snapped them up........only i forgot to substitute them in for the redskins in my line up for today and they scored 21 points
I've also got Cam Newton as my QB1 and he scored a decent 21.16 points.......my QB2 is Jameis Winston who scored 25.54 and he was sitting on the bench.

Drew played almost perfect and we still lost. Can We just end the season now?
