Finally! I beat Cap'n to the punch on Carson Palmer! You know you tried/will try to snag him at some point today.

PS- Carson Palmer is on the trading block if anyone is interested. ;D

I thought about snagging Palmer about a week ago, but couldn't justify a roster spot for such a stretch...WHY AM I HOLDING ON TO RONNIE BROWN!? I don't wish injury on anyone but I'll sure look stupid if I hang on to him all year and he never plays. If McCoy goes down though, he could be huge...right...?

Pshh, I only have top 10 QBs on my roster. I dont even have anybody worth dropping for that bum. Only league I tried to pick him up in is my start 2 QBs league where every starter is rostered where I actually picked up Christian Ponder yesterday. I cant believe OAK gave up 2 first round picks for him, talk about shooting your up and coming team in the foot with a 32yr old QB who doesnt have his arm strength anymore and hasnt been any good since he tore his ACL. Thats the best thing the Bungals have done since making the playoffs once in the last 20+ years in 2006.

Good thing you picked up Carson though when one of my brethren, Capt. Concussion aka Jahvid Best, has another concussion and you couldve picked up his backup!!!

I chuckled when I just saw you dropped the current starting RB for the Colts instead of Ronnie Brown

Hawkeye · Oct 18, 2011, 03:52 PM

Call me crazy...I think (hope) Addai is coming back. Carter has been underwhelming to me. he'd only play in the flex spot, and I have receivers I'd rather play there. Matthews and Thomas have their bye weeks over with, so as long as they stay healthy, I'm not worried about my RB's...they're as good as they're gonna get. C'mon, McCoy, twist an ankle already! ;D

capt. scotty · Oct 18, 2011, 04:16 PM

Ronnie Brown just got traded to the Lions because Best is out for an unknown length of time...good call Hawkeye! ;D ;D ;D

aMD paid (finally)

Capt. can't do any trades because he traded me his entire team. I actually thought that was a tempting trade offer, and was close to taking it.

aMillionDreams · Oct 19, 2011, 09:56 AM

Now I'm just waiting for cash from Corey and True

It was mostly a joke, but I was actually hesitant offerring it though because I dont like your team after your top 5 RB/WRs and Rodgers/Gronk and like my bench a lot more. If you accepted it wouldve been interesting, but figured you wouldnt. A 15 player for 15 player deal wouldve been a legendary FF story though ;D

Obviously I took the trade because I decided to get Jennings while I could in case you soured on it, and its been hard enough for me to work trades out so far, but Im just wondering if you wouldve taken the Jennings/Gresham for DeAngelo/Eli/Hightower deal?

Assuming our trade goes thru, Im guessing you would like to have Pierre. PT for Starks?

capt. scotty · Oct 19, 2011, 07:40 PM

Looks like your Ronnie Brown soap opera will continue Hawkeye ;D

My team is stacked just cant win due to the jinx. But scoring high still

Which is probably part the jinx and like I said, not a fan of your bench. LeGarrette goes down and bye weeks are making you start guys you wouldnt normally start. It can catch up to you.

Thats why Im a waiver wire hawk ;)

I didn't really want Eli but throwing DWill in there had me intrigued. I would've been fine with giving you Gresham instead of Clark though as I see them having about the same value from here on out. I was going to sleep on it but I'm fine with you accepting the original deal.

>:( Wonder what was wrong with Harrison...crap.

Hawkeye · Oct 20, 2011, 12:23 PM

Finally dropped Ronnie...I may need someone this week who actually plays, as I have a lot of receivers on their bye week.

Hawkeye · Oct 20, 2011, 01:49 PM

Wow, Harrison had a brain tumor...sad, but glad they caught it! Probably wouldn't have happened in the near future without the trade!

That was so selfish of him to hold up the trade like that.
