Standard Yahoo league draft today (10 teams, 3 WR, 2 RB, no flex):
QB Aaron Rodgers, Carson Palmer RB Jamaal Charles, Frank Gore, Reggie Bush, Rashad Jennings WR A.J. Green, Antonio Brown, Justin Blackmon, Nate Washington, Reggie Wayne, Malcom Floyd TE Aaron Hernandez K Matt Prater DEF Philadelphia Really like my team. Had the #2 pick. I did kinda fuck up at one point though, the draft had snaked back around to me and I was deciding between Hernandez, Vernon Davis, or Vincent Jackson as my 3rd WR. Ended up going Hernandez because I really think he's gonna have a monster year, possibly even outplaying Gronk. Davis and Jackson then immediately went off the board. Of course if I had taken Jackson I would have still been guaranteed one of the 2 TEs I was debating. I have more than enough options for the #3 WR anyway. Kinda sad to not get the token Giant player I always seem to wind up with. Was gonna get David Wilson with my second to last pick but he got snagged. |

You might be able to get him if he doesn't play in the first couple games

It official, replacement refs are a lock for Week 1 since the ref union and NFL couldn't get an agreement done the past few days.
If no deal is done by the Wednesday opener, then replacement refs are a lock for Week 2 as well since the regular refs need between 7-10 days to get into season shape. If no deal is done after Week 4, very likely replacement refs take over for most of the season. |

I think the biggest issue with the replacement refs is them being a bit too slow making decisions and somehow can't count correctly when it comes to penalty and ball placement.
Forgot what game it was but a bunch of times the refs kept spotting the ball short during penalties like a 15 yard penalty was just a 13 yard gain. |

I don't have any blame to place on replacement officials. I have no doubt that these guys (and girl) are doing their best out there.
I think it's absurd the NFL can't make the concessions that the regular officials are asking for. The concessions the regular officials are asking for, monetarily speaking, are a drop in the bucket out of the NFL's coffers. |

To be fair, the ref's union is also refusing certain concessions that would actually improve officiating a lot in the long term mostly with more full-time crews being added to the ref pool along with better ways to reward or punish officiating.
In terms of money, nobody in the refs union is being fooled by the same tactics the owners used against players last year and remembered how the NFL eventually caved in the last time the refs went on strike. |

I have no doubt that the replacement refs are doing their best, but the fact is that they suck. I really hope we get the regular refs back in there sooner rather than later.

Was surprised to see the Giants' starters playing tonight, nevermind the full first quarter. Eli and the like looked bad, but that's no biggie. Pretty sure they were only there to allow Nicks to get some cuts and contact in. The O-line though is a bit disconcerting, the starters got their shit pushed in by the Pats' 2nd string D-line.
Ojomo made the team tonight. Just an awesome performance. Looks like he'll be a solid replacement for Tollefson as the #4 DE. 1 more week. Can't wait. |

couple of minor rule changes announced, 1 player per team put on IR before September 4th with a "serious injury" can be taken off IR during the season, trade deadline has been moved back 2 weeks and players no longer have to wait 3 days to practice if they sign during training camp

So for the Giants, Shaun Rogers would be a perfect candidate...but it would mean risking losing an extra DT to waivers. Terrell Thomas or Marvin Austin make more sense as they were likely to be on the 53 man roster even without the rule in place. |

Really hoping the Jags don't cut Kevin Elliot. That guy looks like he could be a solid #2 WR.
Why did we sign Laurent Robinson again? Oh wait, that's right, because Gene Smith is a horrible GM. |

From what I've heard he's still in the game but under the free agent list and as his old "Ochocinco" name.
I don't think he realized that when he made tweet or still even knows about it. |
