I guess I'm just swayed by the years where Mariners and Brewers fans had players at the top or tops of numerous positions around the field. I think it was more of that they had a greater team push, stadium push and people employed/volunteer to sit and submit 25 votes after 25 votes.

I don't have any knowledge of NFL teams pushing like some MLB teams....just me thinking baseball.

Agreed. The voting of Peyton Hillis to be the Madden cover boy was a disgrace but it did show a lot of the voting power of the fan base.

It is a travesty what has happened to this section.
Nobody is calling for a thread ban because they disagree with ONE thing that you're saying. My assumption is that you are getting the hammer for your CONSTANT "Chicken Little" act that's bringing NOTHING to the table, annoying the Hell out of people and cluttering threads.

Hey, please keep your rational thoughts and truths off this thread. Iggy is misunderstood.

Then his favorite team must be good.........
When I used to do FF, way back in the 90's, a number of people tended to overvalue the players on their favorite teams.

Good lord....the title of the article made it sound like he was dumping toxic waste here. Outside of the manure issue, I think they are overreacting.....

http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyfootball/update/24906981/browns-cb-joe-haden-out-sunday-against-the-panthers
Browns cornerback Joe Haden will miss Sunday's game against the Panthers with a shoulder injury, according ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler.
Haden tried to warmup and looked good, according to Fowler, but said as he was walking off the field he's not playing. Rookie Robert Nelson is third cornerback on the depth behind Haden and K'Wuan Williams, who are both out and could see an increase in playing time in Haden's place. The Panthers are 3 1/2 point favorites at home against Cleveland.

so K'waun Williams and Joe Haden are out and Gilbert still can't get a damn start smh. The Browns are moving Poyer from safety to start at corner.

Doesn't really make sense to me at all. Gilbert has looked fine the last 5 weeks. Not sure if he did something at practice that pissed pettine off, but at this point fuck sending these young guys messages. Put them all out there (including desir) and let them get some playing time.

[h=4]Poyer starting at CB ahead of Gilbert[/h]
Farmer should be ashamed of himself.

He allowed Pettine to bully him into making that pick and it has been an unmitigated disaster.

I hope come next draft he is prepared to stand up to his head coach instead of bending over and taking it like he did last time.

Way to go Pettine.

Win the toss again and defer so that your shitty ass defense can give up points on the opening drive again and put Johnny in a hole.

This guy is a freaking bum.

Dansby saved Pettine's ass right there because they lost about 6 yards on that 3rd down run.

No points given up. Can't wait for your next excuse.
