I'm thinking we do a 14-team, head to head, 13 week regular season where everyone plays each other once. .5 point per reception, FAAB bidding w/no waivers, 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 FLEX, 1 DEF, no kickers, 6 bench spots. $15 buy-in, 6 teams make the playoffs, weeks 14, 15 and 16 playoffs. 1st, 2nd, 3rd and regular season winner paid. I'll create it once Yahoo sets up their pro leagues, PM me your emails if you want in and I'll store them and send out invites later in July. Draft last week of August.

It's the steelers so he will just get a wrist slap fine.

Where are you seeing this? If this actually happened he should easily be getting the Josh Gordon treatment.

If so, sad and lol. What a complete fucking waste if true. Bunk up with Ricky Williams until he runs out of money then try a comeback.

This is where it originated. Lev Bell has since denied it.

Mark Madden ‏@MarkMaddenX 19h19 hours ago I'm told Lev Bell skipped a drug test& is facing susp. Right now, it's a rumor. But it's a pretty strong rumor.

[FONT=&quot]"I don't know what you are talking about," [/FONT]Bell told reporters[FONT=&quot] when asked about the rumor. "I am fine," he added. "I can't keep talking about the drug test. I probably already said too much about it, so I really can't keep talking about it..."[/FONT]
Denying knowledge of it and saying you're fine is saying too much?

What a fucking idiot. Just don't understand why they cannot stay away from the shit. Come on..your multi million dollar career is on the line yet cannot have enough self discipline to push it away.

Fucking.
Idiot.

Maybe in standard leagues, but the majority of fantasy leagues are not standard leagues. They are grabbing that stat from a very specific type of draft. And that's because in the community, the 0 RB theory has been circulating since last year's injury decimation to RB's.

That's Goodell's NFL for you.

"We have a shitty quarterback who is so toxic right now with drug issues and personal conduct problems that he's about as unemployable as a person can get! No one wants to sign him. No agents want to represent him. Only tabloids even care about him."

"SUSPEND HIM. PROTECT THE SHIELD."

"Uh...okay..."

Rolando McClain suspended for the first 10 games for violating the substance abuse policy again. Seriously when will these guys learn. Hope Romo/Dez/Zeke are ready to score a shit ton of points those first 4 games. Cowboys defense is going to be pitiful.

Holy Hell. That has to be unprecedented by at least 20 MPH and add in the kid? Damn man just take the marijuana charge. WTF?

Feel bad for the kid. Doubt tiernan has a car that would go that fast.

They were talking that this had to stem from a number of positive tests as you don't get popped for your first time or two and now that he is suspended, next one is 10 games, then gone with a chance to reinstate. Now he is fully in the program...so gee.....surprise surprise he came out saying he is gonna stay sober now. What timing huh....
