    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I've never paid for sex at a strip club. I've also never not been offered the opportunity to do so. Canada, Portland, Vegas, I just assumed it was what happened at every one of them.

    How many times have the 49ers been inside the 10 and came away with zero points this year so far? It seems like 1/2 their trips into the red zone end in turnover or them holding their way all the way back to the 50.

    Don't worry. There will be a serviceable QB available on waivers if Big Ben goes down. And frankly the far more likely scenario is for Palmer to go down and you get nothing for him.

    I'd take the deal personally. You're gaining an avg of 10 ppg and giving him an improvement of 8 ppg. Ellington will be out a couple of weeks and might not get the starting job back or at the very least may be in a time-share after that. You'd probably want to find a healthy RB for bench depth...

    You are trading bench depth for a potential starter? And that bench depth is a QB? On the surface I'd say yes but depends on your RB situation outside of Ellington... Also who is his QB currently?

    So pretty much exactly what I said about the Niners, defensive scheme covered up for deficiencies in personnel week 1 against an inexperienced QB, but a real offense put them in their place. I still think this team has 8-8 talent but looking at their schedule it is tough to imagine them getting...

    Volkswagen gets busted.

    I just got rid of my 2012 TDI Jetta. Actually was a nice little car to drive around, but now that we have a 1 year old kid and all the stuff that entails hauling around, "little" became the operative word there. Those TDI engines are surprisingly peppy, but I wouldn't want to own one out of...

    I thought that the narrative on Peypey not being good when it is chilly didn't really hold up anyways. I mean yes he does have a drop-off in the cold, but it is pretty consistent with the drop off any QB has when going on the road, which is the only time he'd be playing in cold weather games...

    I'm seriously considering one of those $50 guys. I basically only use a tablet for reading or playing podcasts at night, some occasional web browsing and the occasional game. That thing outspecs what I'm currently using (an OG Motorola Xoom) and at that price I could almost treat it as...

    At this point you have to hold onto CJ Anderson. Him turning his season around is just as likely as whatever scrub someone is willing to trade for him currently actually ends up helping your team, and there is more upside with Anderson. Keep in mind he's played against two of the top 5...

    CJ Anderson (@KC) or Jonathan Stewart (vs. Houston)? I'm leaning Stewart because of matchup and potential limited snaps for CJ due to injury, but on the flip side Stewart is likely to see a plethora of 8 man fronts until Newton proves he has someone other than Olson he can reliably throw the...

    I'm in the trade or drop camp (unless your league has an IR slot to stash him on). Too many question marks on his time-table to return to waste a bench slot on him. If you are trying to trade him, your best bet is to use him to sweeten the pot on a blockbuster deal imo. Won't get much...

    Sankey vs the Browns I wouldn't blame him for playing Brown, I did say I think there is higher upside there, but of that list of players I'm playing Sankey. James Jones is playing against Seattle with a chip on their shoulder who have done a great job of shutting down A. Rod in the Pete...

    I'm going with Sankey as the safe pick, John Brown as the upside pick. Personally I'd play Sankey but I like getting RB's into the flex whenever possible. Also just a note to everyone, helps give advice if at the very least you tell us if you are PPR or not.

    My take on the Niners. First, let's not pretend containing Teddy Bridgewater to 3 points is THAT special. Containing AP to 31 yards is commendable but since he basically hasn't really played in two years, it's not like the Niners were tasked with stopping him in potential MVP form. The scheme...

    I think unless there is collusion (which can be tough to prove) or someone who has obviously just given up and doesn't care what happens, trades shouldn't get vetoed. So what if a trade is lopsided? People should be allowed to make mistakes and take advantage of those who make mistakes.
