This is so true, lol. Thankfully I already have him and Roddy White in one of my leagues. Could be huge down the stretch.

Haha, I know I do. I'm biased as well because I always said I thought Jones was better. Though have no interest in either team.

I think it is a good comparison, and only bring it up because I was in the minority (from my bad memory).

You want to draft a rb in the early first round? Have you learned nothing this season?

but Rex,is not afraid of just coming out and being who he is. Lebron's interviews are so fuckin phony it is pathetic. Lebron is the biggest asshole in sports, and that is why I won't give him credit for anything.

Yeah..it is a joke..but ove 12 million people tune in
Could there be less on the Sun of the Pro Bowl. Pretty sure there is FAR greater competition of things to watch during MLB and NBA playoffs.

Yeah a 14 second video of a guy being arrogant and throwing it back in the face of all the doubters/haters makes him fake and a douche, are you serious? This board wouldn't be any fun if we all agreed to hate on certain people, gotta play both sides of the fence here.

Anybody watching this Frontline documentary about the NFL and head injuries? Only watched a little of it so far but not surprising that it looks bad for the NFL.

It's just so subjective depending on what you value.
It's funny too. It really depends on the system and how the CB is being attacked. I can recall many guys who got a reputation as being very good. All of the sudden, they get beat a few times and are considered awful. It usually goes full circle.

Deangelo Hall is a prime example. He was great early on. He was great the last few years. However, in-between then he was beaten many times and this year he's been bad.

Hall IMO may be the most overrated CB of all-time.

Don't disagree, yet twice he's been paid huge and once was traded for a pretty hefty price.

Hence the overrated.

I've never seen one of the fastest guys in the league get torched so regularly.

Maybe the rules have an effect? Seriously fuck some of this shit, I wouldn't call half of that in high school games
