Your “I Salute Your Dogged Persistence” Saturday Night Open Thread

If you’re hanging out here-even for just a little bit-you’ve got moxy. You’ve so many other options with which to entertain yourself and yet… here you be. I like that about you. So, if you could, give yourself a playful little punch in the shoulder in the manner of the dorko towards the end of The Breakfast Club. Go on.

FF Draft Memory:

2008-I drafted a washed-up Kurt Warner as my backup qb because there was a massive disconnect between his value and Larry Fitzgerald’s. My thinking was, ‘who the hell is going to throw all those TD’s to Fitz? It’s Warner. I’ll make him my bye week goober. Lo and behold, Warner’s 30 TD’s ends up being the second highest in the league behind Brees’ 34. I still remember getting laughed at after I made the pick.

TO THE GAMES!

Pats/Tits:

Does anyone have any respect for the Tits O? Mariota is meh. The receiving core is Davis, Sharpe, Brown, Taylor and Humphries. The only viable fantasy dude is rb Henry. And don’t tell me, ‘te Delanie Walker could surprise’. Yeah, the only way he could surprise is if he jumped out of an over-sized cake at Mike Vrabel’s birthday party.

KC/Pit:

There are two reasons to watch this game. 1) The Chefs 1’s will be playing into the second quarter. 2) How is this prolific O going to utilize rook rb Thompson and wr Hardmon?

Lions/Texans:

If recently signed qb Josh Johnson stays with Detroit it’ll be the 12th team he’s collected a paycheque from. Thing is, he’s only there gently patting a center’s balls until Tom Savage stops seeing Tweety Bird circling his head. (That’s code for being in concussion protocol)

Boys/Rams:

Despite his hollow rhetoric, it’s just a matter of time before JJ caves and gives rb Zeke all of the money. The former has a long history of loving his star players.

Comment as you see fit. If you want to throw some ‘this was the brilliant thing I did in fantasy’, have at it. Later on we’ll do a ‘most ridiculous mishap ever’ thingy.
