Looks to be between the Gumsellers and TT in the WP.
Lots of teams still in danger in RW, but Grim Reaper and Joe need to do some work to stay alive. |

Gumsellers is juts about gone in WP. Harmon is the only one that can save him. GCobb and Trash fighting it our for immunity.
About six teams still in jeopardy in RW. Reaper looks to be in the deepest trouble. MM should get immunity.

Hopefully the Packers will keep tanking it every and Favre will be forced to retire, if that is even possible. Also, isn't it about that time of year when McNabb gets injured?

Joe I wouldn't be telling the truth If I didn't have a little giggle out of you going out early after all the "Edneck off the rock stuff".
Hey, LJ Smith cost me a win in a league so don't feel bad, I sit Heap in favor of that clown.
Plus I traded away McNabb for P. Manning before the season started, wish I had that one back.
Is it me or do most Philly fans look like they just snatched a old ladies purse and used the money to buy a ticket to the game...He He...They sure do love their sports in Philly!!!

I feel the love edneck..guess I got greedy by picking three backs a tightend and WR before even picking a QB....expected ALOT more from Brooks and did not expect Vince Young to start so early this year...ok guys, I know, everyone has their excuses, but I will gladly pick an eagles win over a fantasy win any day...well, unless we have clinched already. How about those Browns:) Goodnight!

I believe all of that article. I mean everytime It was Mike Irvins turn to talk during the pre-game show they booed him and you couldn't even hear him talk you could tell he was wanting to burst out laughing. I got a story, once I was in Philly in 1995 and took a taxi to the Airport and made a few comments about the Phillies being terrible and he got so pissed off he dropped me off in the middle of nowhere and refused to take me any further..I can understand the working class attitude but a lot of these guys are nothing but thugs, I mean I like devotion, but punching a guy and spitting on him just because he supports a different team is manic behaviour. I know a few bad seeds don't reflect upon the many, but it always seems like they push it just a little too far...Joe I'm not having a go at the Philly fans, but I've seen it first hand and when you should have a laugh about it, they want to kill someone...we need these guys in Iraq!!

This is the last post I found on the payouts.
Survivor in each league gets $210
Runner up in each league gets $75
Highest total score for all 17 weeks gets $50 in each league.
Owner who survives the most weeks combined between two leagues gets $180.
Score Keepers get a $25 discount (Shak and JHHH?)
I think the scorekeeping is simple enough where we don't need to have the $25 (x2) discount. Let's give that $50 for the single highest one week score, like we've always done in the past. Right now, the highest score is 125 (Terry Tate), but it is not likely to hold up. Thoughts?

Nah, Im not offended, I like the Philly sports label usually. I Have not fought at a game, but I have yelled some vulgar stuff to Mike Piazza’s parents one time..yeah, I know he is a Philly boy by birth but went to the dark side with the mets. The whole Irvin thing was great in my opinion, but his Dallas ties was not the sole motivation for the booing, it likely had something to do with the recent TO mess as well…I just think it is funny with double standards and all as far as the name game. Yeah, we are tough, vulgar and rude. I will give you that, but if you pay attention to the media you will see that every time a Philly fan does something stupid, the whole crowd is blamed, as in typical Philly fans..however, when idiot fans do crap in other cities, the individual is blamed, not the city as a whole..Whether running on the field to hit baseball coaches, fighting the pacers or whatever..Im sure you get my point…When was the last time you heard about those nasty NY fans……I really doubt they have that much more class then the typical Philly fan. Kinda like the SUV blame game. This is played especially in the papers in the North east with a little touch of liberal bias…just about every time there is car accident, the paper will say, driver fell a sleep, or driver lost control, or drunk driver….except when it is an SUV. In that case they will say SUV crashed into house (saw that on MSN front page), or SUV causes pile up or whatever…do a search on the internet with SUV accident, you will see what I mean….anyway, getting off subject here…Philly fans are the SUV’s in pro sports..anybody get that?

Any Detroit fans out there??
DETROIT--Following a 31-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday that dropped them to 0-3 on the season, the Detroit Lions have decided to shift their focus from winning games to covering point spreads. The new, tempered expectations reflect the coaching staff's desire to set more realistic goals for the team.
"We've been focusing an awful lot on winning ball games early in the season, and so far, the results just haven't been there," said head coach Rod Marinelli. "It might be time to set some more modest goals. One thing I think we can manage is to cover a point spread. We should be getting pretty generous lines from here on in, so I just want our guys to play good, mistake free football, match the opponent's intensity, and try not to lose by a humongous amount of points."
The Lions failed to cover the spread against the Packers on Sunday, losing by 7 points even though they were favored by 6.5. That shouldn't be a problem anymore, Marinelli says, as they probably won't be favorites again for the rest of the season.
"It was obviously a gross oversight for somebody to make us 6.5 point favorites Sunday, even against the Packers," said Marinelli. "That probably won't happen again. Next week we're getting 6 against St. Louis. That's a nice cushion. We can just go out there, get down by 3 early, and sit on that deficit for the rest of the game."
The new attitude is a far cry from the swagger and optimism the team displayed early in the season, but to the Lions, it doesn't represent an admission of defeat. As quarterback Jon Kitna pointed out, the team may still win some games by accident.
"Just because we're focusing on covering the spread doesn't mean we won't pick up a win or two on the way," said Kitna. "We might just face a really inept team like the Texans and have them hand the game to us on a silver platter. It's not out of the realm of possibility. See, some people see the glass as half empty, while some see it as half full. Unfortunately right now our glass is completely empty, so both sides would be wrong."
Just two weeks ago, receiver Roy Williams guaranteed a victory over the Chicago Bears, only to see his team lose 34-7. He also guaranteed the offense would score 40 points, and they scored 7. Now, Williams have a different guarantee.
"We will cover the point spread next week. You can write that down," he said defiantly. "Call it a guarantee, call it whatever you want. It's going to happen. We're not so bad that we can't cover a spread. Come on! Let's do this! Let's lose by less than 6 points! We must protect this house! Or at least keep an eye on it."
The Lions spread-covering strategy may force their opponents to alter their own game plans, starting with the St Louis Rams, who plan to build a big lead against the Lions early and spend the rest of the game conserving it.
"I think the best game plan for us at this point would be to build a 6 point lead and then go conservative," said Rams head coach Scott Linehan. "The Lions won't offer much resistance. If we get a 10 point lead or a 20 point lead, however, expect a dogfight. These guys have that 'refuse not to cover' mentality going for them. I credit Matt Millen for laying the foundation for that mentality. Why the hell hasn't ownership given him a lucrative contract extension for that? Oh, they did? My God, I was being sarcastic."
If the Lions fail to cover the point spread, Marinelli and co. may have to lower their expectations even more.
"Obviously there's a chance we could end up failing to meet even this modest goal," he said. "If so we'll have to adjust our expectations accordingly. Maybe we could just focus on showing up to the games on time or always wearing our helmets. Failing that we can just dedicate ourselves to community service or something. That actually might be a good way to light a fire under the guys, because if there's anything more depressing than losing football games, it's doing stuff for the community."

I just think this is cool so I will tell you guys..hold the philly hating....as I checked my email I saw my dad wrote me. He works at the Eagle home games part time just for fun as a part time job..he figured he could get to see the games live and get paid for it...did not work out for him that way..the job actually sucks, cant see the games from where he is...but, this is what he sent me:
I was really dejected at work tonight, they had me stationed near a group of super boxes and it was SOOOO BORING, I felt like turning in my badge and leaving. To make matters worse I was somewhere where you could not hear or see the game. All I keep thinking about was if I turned in my badge, I could make it home before halftime and get to see the 2nd half on my Hi-Def TV. Anyhow I left my post to go to the men's room. Anyhow, who is walking the other way, coming right towards me. None other than Ryan Howard.
As we are about to pass, he said hello to me. After returning his reponse, I stopped and told him, that he did a great job this year. He must not have heard what I said initially and he asked me to repeat what I said. After repeating my remark again, he walked over to me and said thank you and shook my hand.
Joe, I'm way past the hero worshipping stage but this guy is great. Mike Schmidt couldn't hold a candle to him.
I just thought this was pretty cool and wanted to share it with you guys..I know you are sick of me and my philly stuff, but this is a classy guy.

Pretty slow day at work.
Who’s in jeopardy?
WP
Terry Tate: The #14 ranked team has role players Chris Henry and Nate Burleson on byes. Jerry Porter, Kerry Collins and TJ Duckett -- are they still in the league? That leaves only five scorers (albeit five solid scorers). The G Men (Manning) vs. Skins (Portis) game will decide TT's fate.
Tribe: The #3 ranked Tribe is in a very similar boat. Palmer, Graham and Andre Johnson on byes and Warner and Toefield relegated to the bench. Five scorers with one dinged up (Stallworth) and one fighting to see the field (Benson). Might be time to circle the wagons – oh wait, that’s a cowboy (Cao Boi, if anyone is watching the other Survivor) reference. Might be time to smoke 'em da peace pipe and dance with the wolves.
Mario: The #16 ranked Mario has his two best WRs on bye (D Jax and Branch). Brooks is out to pasture and Duce is pulling splinters out of his butt. Kevin Jones has been coming on, but could have a tough time in Minn. Brunell and LJ Smith will have to show up big this week for Mario to stay super (or even mediocre, as the case may be).
Steve: It pains me to have to list my buddy, the #12 ranked Steve here. I promised him I wouldn’t be so mean to him, so I’ll try to be nice, while still being objective. He has his #1 QB (Carr) and #1 RB (Rudi) on bye this week. WTFO, err, I mean darn it. Steve will need Alex Smith (the QB) to forget last week’s very disappointing performance and Plaxico to pull his head out of his arse. My buddy may need big points on MNF from Rod Smith to move on. Go buddy!!! I mean stay, but do good.
Midget Maulers: I would be remiss if I didn’t list the lowest ranked team still alive, the #17 ranked Mental Midgets, err Mental Maulers, err MM. MM has Hasselbeck and Jenkins on byes. This is a very underperforming team right now led by Edge, Randy Moss, and Cooley. If they continue to underwhelm, MM will soon be melting in your mouth, not in your hand (sorry).
Who will go?
Head: Between TT and Mario.
Heart: Tribe – the #3 ranked team must go!
Gut: Mario is #5 off the island.

Thanks Jim.....I think. I thought for sure you would've wished me off the rock this week after that less than spectacular review. Dog us for players being on a bye. What about your star studded WP team? Looks like Leftwich, Wayne and R Brown need to carry you this week. It's conceivable that you could slip off this mossy covered rock this week. I might add that there is only a 27 point difference between 4th and 12th in WP.

Edneck, remember this?
"Take Stallworth and Westbrook away from the Eagles and McNabb wouldn't have the sucess he's had so far this season. I like McNabb, always have but without a decent RB and WR on the field he would just be average."
Westbrook didn't play and Stallworth sat out most of the game. McNabb still looked mighty good. McNabb can do more with less better than any other QB in the league with the possible exception of Brady. And no matter what my buddy Steve says (bless his heart), he's not nearly as injury prone as Steve McNair. Can McNabb do as well vs. a real defense like Dallas without Westbrook and Stallworth? Maybe not, but he has a better chance to succeed in that situation than any QB I can think of.

Shak your like a lion, you sit and wait looking for that easy prey you can finally pickoff. I still believe it to be true, going against a suspect GB defense wasn't actually that difficult. I love the way McNabb is playing and who knows I'm probably wrong, he did look bad and threw the ball short and in the dirt on more then a 5 occasions, I never said I was 100 percent correct, If he plays well against Dallas and looks like he did Monday night (TD's) I'll retract the statement and obviously look foolish just for your pleasure.
Now I have to go back and look at all your statements from 2004-2006 and see if I can nit-pick something you said that may have been wrong or untrue...damn your causing me work.

I have different responses for not bringing it up Shak, I'll let you decide which is the real reason.
Joe says: Nah, Shak....I think I am still to stunned from my recent elimination last week...
Joe says: I was waiting for someone else to bring it up cause I know that I am to pro philly
Joe says: I was waiting for Ednecks to apologize for being so damn ignorant
Joe says: I thought we already went through this discussion and ednecks realized that McNabb actually did exists prior to TO's arrival and westbrook reached his potential as a NFL superpower(hehehe) and mcnabb was pretty good back then TOo, you know, back when he had the supreme WR corp to include my boy Freddie Mitchell, Todd Pinkston, and James Thrash...I'll throw Chad Lewis in there too.
Joe says: I forgot about the comment, besides, Ednecks is my friend and I would never call him out over the internet. I treasure your friendship Ednecks!

Being the nonconfrontational, happy-go-lucky guy that I am, I'll go ahead and assume it is the last one.
Edneck, I have had a few battles here, but it's only because people refuse to accept my brilliance. Maybe we do have more in common than I thought.
I remember two years ago it was Jon that questioned my brilliant drafting strategy of getting thru my bye week hell as early as possible. I turned out to be right because I made it to the finals, while Jon was eliminated when he faced his own bye week hell in week 8 or 9.
Last year I think the big brouhaha was when I questioned D Davis being listed as a top 5 RB. I went on record as saying he wouldn't be a top 10 RB -- and part of my reasoning was he was injury prone. I also said he would lose his job within 3 years. Surprisingly, no one agreed. I guess we know who won that arguement.
The final conflict, as I recall, was about V Young. Jon belived that he absolutely had to be the #1 overall pick. I disagreed, but was somewhat surprised that he was the first QB taken. For all of his superb physical skills, I don't think he will be as good an NFL QB as Leinart or Cutler. The jury is still out on that one.

Joe I'll go with:
Joe says: Due to the high repect I have for the Edneck his uncanny knowledge of Fantasy sports makes me question my own beliefs.
Shak, I Think Cutler will probably end up being the better QB in the long run, I think VY will look bad this year becuase he'll be trying to come back from 20+ points down every week and forcing things a little to much. Now Leinhart has all the chance of success in AZ with that much talent around him, but that O-line can't block my grandma, now If he struggles every week is it because he's a rookie and all that learning curve stuff or his his real problem he doesn't really have the right stuff to be a NFL QB, didn't really show me much last week, so I'm looking forward to see how he handles the pressure. VY IMO won't be great, but I never though McNAir was that great either, he just was a tough SOB.

Week 5 predictions (part II)
Who’s in jeopardy in RW?
Tribe – The #15th ranked Tribe are in such deep kim chi this week, I’m beginning to wonder if the Tribe has relocated to Korea. (At what point did kim chi replace sh@t as a very bad place to be?) The Tribe faces the wikipedia definition of fantasy football bye week hell (don't look it up, I just made it up). The Tribe will have S Alexander, D Jax, Branch, and Graham all on byes to go with Trent Green on the shelf and walking wounded Stallworth and Joe Jurevicius. That leaves a healthy D Foster and Rackers (so that’s why you pick 2 Ks). I guess since Harmon survived his bye week hell (4 Broncos) last week, Tribe has a chance to crawl his way out of the bottom of the kim chi barrel (wish I had a scratch and sniff for you).
Terry Tate – The top ranked TT makes a surprise appearance in this week’s column. In what now looks like shrewd planning, TT’s top QB (Vick) and RB (Rudi) will be getting their byes over with. That will leave TT without a QB (unless we’re still counting Boller as a QB) and two backups at RB (M Anderson, B Jacobs). That could easily turn into two donuts. But before you get too excited, TT ain’t ranked #1 for nothin’. He has a strong WR group of Marvin, Coles, Shockey, and KW2 to most probably bail him out.
TrashHaulers – We have another surprise guest in the #3 ranked Trashmen. How appropriate the TrashHaulers show up in a week that someone is in deep kim chi. I hate to go off on a tangent, but has anyone ever been on a C-130 that was full of ROK jumpers that got airsick? I'm getting nauseous just thinking about it again. Anywho, the Trashmen are in a bit of a pickle with Hasselbeck and A Johnson on byes. That leaves the QB’ing for Griese. He originally looked like a swell pickup at QB, but who knew Grossman was so good? Now Griese only wishes he could go back to TB. Trash does have superman, but LT may be contained by the Steelers. He also has two Tenn RBs for added comedy, err depth. As long as the trio of Chambers, Galloway and Bruce put up decent numbers, the Trashmen should cometh another day.
Who will go?
Head: Tribe – do you believe in miracles? It happened last week with Bronco Harmon, but my head thinks no way two weeks in a season, much less in a row.
Heart: TT – oh how sweet it would be to see the #1 ranked team sail off into the sunset. If TT doesn’t go here, he will hard to stop. I will not shed a tear if the #3 team goes either.
Gut: The Tribe has spoken and it definitely has kim chi breath. Sorry Travis.

More about Philly fans from Philadelphiaweekly.com.

A Philly Fan Of The Game If There Ever Was One
A loyal reader and Eagles fan (natch) writes in with the following anecdote from last night's Eagles game:
I was at last night's game (my uncle's got season tix and he gave me this game as a graduation present). Anyway, we happened to be in the row with the LINCOLN FINANCIAL FAN OF THE GAME, which, as you know, gets selected at random somehow and receives a prize. Everyone in the row (Section 102 on the 40 yard line, row 17) got little Eagles fan of the game hand towels to wave around and wipe our sweaty brows with. This was midway through the fourth quarter, if memory serves.
I don't know what happened after that, but a couple minutes later we heard a commotion and saw Eagles security in our section. Turns out they were slapping the cuffs on a guy and taking him out... hey... THEY'RE EJECTING THE FAN OF THE GAME! Yeah, there he goes -- a metaphor for Philly sports if there ever was one. A hero one minute, and getting the boot the next. Unbelievable? Maybe. Hilarious? Absolutely.
Maybe some of your readers might've seen the incident and can shed light on what this dope did to get himself tossed, because that's the part I didn't see. Fan of the game getting ejected 20 minutes after being crowned -- only in Philadelphia.
Amazing. The Fan of the Game... was apparently ejected.
Looks like he deserved that award.

Comments
I can confirm this story as I sit in section 101, row 17 and saw the "Fan of the Game" get cuffed and taken out by security. He was running up and down the aisle between sections 101 & 102 trying to get the crowd riled up, meanwhile the game was already out-of-reach for the Pack. My Dad's friend actually got into a shouting match with the guy, asking "Where you been, it's the 4th quarter?" So anyway, as this idiot was running up-and-down the aisle he decided to start pounding on some old guy's back as he tried to walk down the ailse to his seat. I think he (the FOTG) thought he was being funny but the old dude was clearly not amused. It was pretty entertaining though, especially when they had trouble cuffing the guy.

I'm sure this clown being a philly fan has been pounded in everyway possible especially on his frequent trips to the big House.
I'm getting tired of TO dominating the dicussion every single week on the NFL gameshow's you would think the public and your typical fan is tired of hearing about it, but the commentators and media should just ignore him completely..they love keeping his story alive...let move on, waste of time. No doubt the Dallas/Philly game will dominate the weekend again...Joe must love every second.

I certainly don't have a team worth talking about, but I do love a good drama and how can you not get excited about the Dall/Phil game? I wish this game were played later in the year, so that the Philly fans can pelt TO and the Tuna with some big old snowballs. As it is, it will be funny to see them throwing pills at him and yelling OD OD OD. My two favorite teams, SF and whoever plays TO.
Nobody else willing to make predictions this week for our league? TB, where you at?

I'd like to think I'm not included in Edneck's "stiffs" comment, but I have to contend with Shak here and at home with comments. I suppose I should post my rebuttal here.
With Shak posting a goose egg in RW, maybe this is the week McNabb goes down and out. Everyone else on the Eagles is injured, there's nobody of any significance left on that team.

LT should be fine, but it did look pretty nasty. Mcnabb and Joe should be very happy with the win over Dallas. Oh Yeah I'm a idiot, McNabb is the best. What's up with Manning looks like their trying to run the ball and Peyton looks out of rhythem in the passing game..I guess he keeps winning, McNabb is now the best Fantasy scoring QB in the league, how many 30+ point weeks has he got now.
I look safe in both leagues, scoring that 70-80+ range every single week..doesn't matter who's on bye.
Who's in trouble this week?

Ho hum, just another 350 yards passing and 3 TDs for McNabb. Can't wait to see how McNair does. I have a feeling McNair won't score as many points for the season as what McNabb has scored in just 5 weeks. It's down to Gumsellers and Tribe in RW. Unless Kaeding scores 8, this will come down to MNF. Tribe is in big trouble. Computing WP now.

I said it before and I'll say it again, I can't believe McNabb was the 8th QB chosen in the RW. Here's the list of QBs chosen before McNabb:
1.5 P Manning -- BSB
3.3 Hasselbeck -- Trash
3.4 Brady -- Ednecks
3.11 Bulger -- MM
3.12 Palmer -- Grim Reaper
3.13 E Manning -- RBP
3.14 Culpepper -- STB
3.16 McNabb -- Shak
In the WP, McNabb was the 2nd QB taken (2.13). I wonder why the difference. The other thing that is noticable is that owners that took a QB relatively early seem to be doing better.
In the WP, 4 out of the 5 exiles waited until the 5th round to take a QB -- after half the teams already had a QB. The first 8 teams to draft a QB are still alive. Five out of the other ten teams are out.
Same thing in the RW, 4 out of 5 exiles picked their first QB in round 5 or 6 after half the teams already had a QB. Out of the first 9 teams to draft a QB, only BSB, who took P Manning with the 5th pick of the draft, is out. Food for thought, eh?

Looks like trouble for some teams with Culpepper riding the bench and Fitzgerald blowing his hammy. Word is Fitz is out for a month. Larry Johnson owners better be crossing their fingers that LJ doesn't lose any time due to his very sore neck. Also, Lamont Jordan owners now have to worry about Jordan losing carries to Fargas. Key to winning is avoiding injuries and benchings. All teams are vulnerable.

Shak, I took Brady over the rest because I really thought Branch would sign and he would have enough targets to throw to. I knew last year was an exceptional year for him and I expected lees this year, but not much. Like I've said I like McNabb a lot, just thought he might struggle a little with the tough division and Reggie Brown and Lewis, don't exactly lite my fire. Just shows that being healthy and happy, plus a Offensive line that's playing great helps out big time. I mean look at how Culpepper was playing in the preseason, just shows how little that means...I would have thought he would have been much better then that and to lose his job shows how much better Moss and Carter made him look then he probably is.
I would have taken Palmer without the question marks over his Knees, but My whole strategy in this format is to take the safe guy first without any questions marks and gamble later.

Edneck, hindsite is always 20/20, but I mentioned at the time that there is no way 7 QBs should go before McNabb. Of the 7, the Culpepper pick in particular looks very very bad right now. STB, you out there?
Does anyone throw a better long ball in the NFL than Donovan? Do you think TO ever thinks about what could have been if he stayed in Philly? McNabb-TO could have been one of the all time greatest connections.
As far as Steve being my buddy, that is definitely a 2-way street -- no one will be Steve's buddy either. We're stuck with each other.

I have McNabb in a ten team league and I got him with the first pick in the 6th round.
The picks went:
1. P. Manning
2. E. Manning
3. Palmer
4. Brady
5. Hassellbeck
6. McNabb
Now I'll admit I was surprized to get him that late, I had him ranked as the 4th best QB, ahead of Eli and Palmer and only Palmer because of the double ACL injury. Now If your trying to say You had McMabb ranked in the top two QB's then your talking out your....I'll agree he's done much better then all the so called experts said he was going to do, we all knew he would be much better then last year, but not on this level of course..I never saw this kind of production coming.

If You want to talk about someone coming out of know where then lets talk Grossman, I got him rather late and was thinking a wasted pick, but he has stablized a rather average team (WP)into a chance at making the finals. I knew he threw a nice deep ball, but he's been muc more poised then anyone thought, defintely thought Griese would be starting my week 5.

I may not have had him as the clear cut #2, but I had him in the 2nd tier with Hasselbeck and Palmer. I was not as high as some were on Dante, Brady and Eli. They may still have good years, but I wasn't going to pick them.
I think those guys that picked in the top 3 could be in big trouble. LT is having a subpar year and will lose carries to Turner. Shaun was also not performing like he has in the past and now he'll be battling a foot injury. And LT will almost certainly not be an elite back this year. It really seems like picking in the top 3 is a sexy option, but much too high risk, but everyone immediately picks those spots. Don't get it.

Good timing for my immunity. Alexander should be back week 7 and alot of my players are on bye this week.
I agree with you on LT not producing as well as last year. He is being held back so he's not worn down for the play offs, as M. Turner steals his carries. I picked up M. Turner in a few other leagues and hope he is picked up next year as a free agent. What do you think about M. Turners potential?

I think LT will get the bulk of the carries. He's only played four games and SDC has only beaten Pitt and losted a close one to Balt. They aren't going to let Rivers throw 30+ much more. Also, with KC, Denver, Seattle and Cincy on the schedule he'll be the feature. I don't see Turner as a problem til they've clinched the playoffs, and that won't happen til very late in the season. I've got both of them in another league. Fitzgerald on the other hand is going to kill me, unless I can find that gem on the waiver wire. What do you think about Bryant Johnson? He's being hyped as tho he could be a starter on another team with less depth than AZ.
