please, nobody say first.
i hope they convict that piece of shit Lori Drew
Lori Drew should be hung in a public square. and stoned.
OK - here's my dilemma...
I have two slots (a WR and a WR/RB slot) open.
Who should I bench between Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall, and Darren McFadden.
McFadden seems to be the obvious candidate, but he's playing a weak KC Defense, and he has the potential to rack up some serious Fantasy points.
I'm guessing Elie may have some sage advice. Elie, you've stooped down to those of us in the comments section before... so help a playa (or managa) out.
It looks like dem two gays are cradling a rooster. Is that a rooster? They adopted a rooster?
first
I hope #5 is not questioning the rooster's sexuality. He can't help it that a couple of homos decided to pick him up.
McFadden? Send him to the reserves. CJ & BM have the best odds this week.
-NOT Elie.
Cockadoodle DOOOOOO!!!
wildcard
ZOMG, McFadden had one solid week and is now a must play!..... Go w the 2 WRs n00b :-P
First to point out that you said "first" 1
McFadden is the obvious choice. But Chad is AT Baltimore, so if you want to be interesting, there's your hook to hang it on.
I'd bench McFadden, but I'm 5th this year and sucking wind (LT, I hate you. It's the first time I've had you and you pull this. I hate you so much).
Maybe you should buck the popular will?
It is against God for gays to adopt roosters. Simply despicable.
Seriously? No one has brought out the fact that two gay guys are holding a cock? Or that they might be choking the chicken later tonight?
4 and Elie - Fantasy Football is for Geeks
Stupid gay rooster.
Well played, 14. Kash is onto that, and she probably set it up for us.
Bench DMac. It is definitley tempting, but Fargas is still number one on the depth chart. Expect them to split carries. Oh, and the Raiders are TTT.
Do I play Brandon Jacobs or Hightower this week?
the 2 gays are accustomed to picking up cock.
Gays can adopt kids, not have them.
It's kind of a joke that the Arent Fox partner (as in law firm) and his partner (as in gay) and their lover were just now indicted. Before too long, they will start to turn on each other, but you know that they all know what happened there. I hope that the feds don't make any deals and they get those fuckers, because assholes like that make it a lot harder for normal, upstanding gay people who don't murder acquaintances after drugging and raping them.
Congratulations Steve and Steve, its a Rooster! Now hold that cock up high and proud!
right meow
you guys are so childish.
*returns to focusing on career in SPACE LAW*
which is a better launching pad for my career? florida or houston?
florida seems more nuts and boalts whereas the houston SPACE LAW market seems to focus on macro level spaciness.
-nervous T-10 1L
email job leads to nervoust101l@yahoo.com
Die of AIDS nervous guy. If you move to Houston, this should not be a problem.
Why so much animus towards nervous T-10?
Joe Price is not on the Arent Fox website
Tough call on Hightower v. Jacobs -- however WAS is much improved from their week 1 meeting and Jacobs might be taking it easy b/c of knee issues that kept him out last week. I have NO confidence in PHI or Andy Reid so I'd go with Hightower.
As far as the other dude -- I'd bench CJ. DET is going to be coming off a short week (but TEN secondary has been killed by injuries) and Culpepper has no protection against Hanesworth and the rest of the TEN line?? He's going to get STUFFED like a t-giving turkey and wish he would have stayed retired

Many years ago I interviewed with Justice Sanders for a clerkship position -- he's a piece of work. Good for him to call out the tyrant, though.
4 here...
Thanks Elie and all for the advice.
McFadden is tempting, but I think I should probably go with the safe options here - Marshall and Calvin Johnson.
When all else fails, play whoever's on TV. Anything to make that TEN-DET game interesting.
AFox took Joe Price's bio off the website back when they suspended him, just before indictments came down. He has an out of office email message redirecting his clients to various other lawyers. There was an article in the Washington Post (or Legal Times?) about it earlier this week.
