What do you guys think?
Matt Schaub vs Baltimore

or

Brees vs. Cardinals?

I'm leaning towards Schaub since the Baltimore defense isn't particularly remarkable. Brees may be without his main wide receiver, too.

Also Brian, and anyone else!
is Carolinas defense any good?
I'm thinking of starting Vick vs KC over Eli Manning vs Carolina. KC kinda sucks and Vick may have a big game in front of him. Who's the better start?

EDIT: actually both defenses are ranked really poorly. 25th and 26th. Still a toss up...

You're right. I just got home from the hospital, and it was no big deal. And it was not a...uh... pain in the a$$. But I now understand why Michael Jackson got hooked on Propofol. What a great sleep it gives you.

Love it and miss it bud. Dover has tons of great pizza joints though thankfully.

KC has a good team this year. Defense not so much, but a very capable offense. This should force Manning to make big plays if they get behind.

Morning fellas!
Hope ya'll had a good weekend with sunny skies.

I have a fantasy football etiquette question in regards to trades.
Our league is set up to have trade approvals. If less than 4 people oppose the trade (12 man league), then the trade goes through. But if 4 or more oppose, the trade does not go through. A trade did not go through this past week because one of the members would have been graced with 4 QB's.

My question to you guys is: is it common to give the other members of the league a vote in trades, or is it more common to let whatever trades happen, unopposed?

I've always seen the trades just go through. Granted, I usually play in free leagues. I suppose a pay league with winnings would be more serious. 4 QBs isn't necessarily a good thing, it's not like he can start more than 2. Having 4 QBs means he has less WR/RB options. If he was getting the top 5 QBs in the league I may have an issue though.

Trouble with 12 people (I should also mention that this is a 2 QB league) is that there arent enough starters when the bye weeks start coming. Smart players picked up 3QB's (whether they're all good isn't completely necessary since as long as they're starting, they're going to be better than 0 points on a bye week).

Agreed. I need to change the trans fluid on my BMW, otherwise everything is in good shape.

Say whaaaaa? When did you decide to treat yourself to that baby? Are you going to keep the MR2 and the 240?
Does it have the rev matching downshift? That tech is incredibly accurate.

Been wanting one for a while,i have been telling myself if something happened to my wife i would get one.

Haven't decided what to do with my other cars,i sure don't need all three.

No rev match,it's a base model. :frown:

Thats okay, its not a necessity, just a pretty cool addition.
I think you need all three. Use the Toyota in the winter and alternate between the 240 and the Z for summer. The Z can be your luxury cruiser.

I am going to try to keep all of them right now,i just need to figure out if i can afford the insurance on all of them.The insurance on the Z is fairly expensive(about $800 a year).
