Word has it Jeff Fisher is interested in Trent Richardson, which makes sense - if you want to give Steven Jackson 500 carries a season he's only good for one more year.  Let a new kid be your new Eddie George.

I'm SHOCKED that Peyton Manning's teams are down to the Cardinals and Broncos.  Middling O-Lines with no running game.  EXACTLY the team he left behind with the Colts.  I would have thought he would have been chomping at the bit to play in KC.  Shows what I know.

I'm not sold on Trent Richardson.  I got burned on Alabama RBs too many times before.  I would like the Rams to pick up a LB.

I'd have thought you're not sold on Fisher, either - but who knows, maybe 8-8 or 9-7 seasons are a massive improvement for the Rams?  Seems like they could use someone for Bradford to throw to, as well - Amendola can't keep himself healthy apparently. 

I think maybe Peyton, just a little bit, wants to go somewhere where he's THE guy.  Like he still wants to carry the team on his back.

Don't get me wrong, Peyton Manning throwing to Larry Fitzgerald is EXTREMELY sexy...

edit:  Also, who the fuck is playing TE in Denver or Arizona?  Dallas Clark was a HUGE part of the Colts' offense.  If he went to the Chiefs, he'd be getting Tony Moeaki, who not ONLY is a great Tight End, but ALSO played college ball at Iowa, same as Dallas Clark.  Kansas City makes SO much sense all over the place.

AFL is back and my team had their traditional round 1 flogging of a cross town rival last night.

I don't know much about baseball. HOWEVER I think I'm gona try to con my C-attle friends into going to a game with me. Just looked and tickets are cheap. (well kinda. they have some super high priced ones, but they are really close to the field.) I'm also impressed with how many fucking games they play. Christ. I was expecting like a few a month. Not like weeks straight on end...


Maybe a foot ball game to. I know a bit more about it... HMMM they aren't on sell yet. BUT hopefully they aren't that much. (I don't care if I'm not close to the game. Just being to one...)

In the middle of negotiations on what would be a blockbuster trade in my fantasy league were it to go through.  The current offer on the table is that I receive Wes Welker and Darren Sproles in exchange for Calvin Johnson and Reggie Bush.  Were this trade to take place, it would likely be the biggest trade in the history of the league.  Me and the other team have been exchanging texts all day with arguments, offers, and counter-offers.  This part of fantasy football is WAY more fun than the actual games.

I know. Even my football team couldn't bring me any joy this year. Except beating Collingwood x2.

Made the finals in my Fantasy league for the first time ever in this, the first year we put money on it.  If I can pull out a win this weekend I win $100, and still collect $40 if I lose.  I could certainly use $100 right now.
