    I would take the Giants facing a 3rd string QB personally. However in the last three years I have been knocked out in week 1, week 2 and week 2 in my survivor pools so take my advice with a grain of salt I would play Palmer, experience + matchup makes that the best play of the options you...

    I'm assuming you mean Shane Vereen? If so, it isn't a guarantee he plays either (but it is looking like it). Also doesn't mean he is getting a full workload either, especially with Belichick who is second only to Shanahan in frustrating fantasy owners with their RB usage. On the flip side the...

    I'm guessing you'll see a lot of changes to GVoice when Google announces their plans for becoming a cell phone service provider. They have stated they want it to be a 100% data connection which means everything will probably go through GV.

    Fantasy Football 2013 Advice Thread

    So I have long advocated that even the worst teams have at least 1 viable fantasy starter on them. This year has been a different story. Jacksonville is obviously historically bad. The best option on their team is Cecil Shorts, but he still is outside starter contention unless you are in a 14...

    Your Own Photography

    The crops on #1 and #2 give it a more 'intense' look but the skin looks better in #3. Also might be a lot of work but I'd see if I could edit out the reflections in the eyes. Speaking of portrait shots, my Dad just pick up a pair of studio strobes/lights that I can barrow at any time. I'm...

    Not sure which format you are talking about. For my league I just manually set the playoff teams to account for the teams that get the top-points-scored wildcard births (I use ESPN). As far as the other format, I'm not sure if any sites automatically handle that or not. I would think that it...

    Ummm, Green is the #1 ranked WR in PPR (not sure on 0.5ppr but it has to be close). For full PPR that is a full 6+ point per week increase for you (just counting the obvious starters here). Byes do cause a little bit of a problem as McCoy and Green have a bye in week 12 which may or may not be...

    Ghostbusters : Afterlife

    Will Ferrell and Seth Rogan are probably two of the worst casting choices for a reboot. The Ghostbusters are supposed to be scientists, not some pot head and a guy who only knows how to be funny BY BEING REALLY REALLY LOUD.

    Yeah, like two years in a row we had one of the highest scoring teams in our league miss the playoffs because they also had highest points against totals, so we decided to modify the playoff format a little bit to eliminated a little of the luck while maintaining the head-to-head format...

    DSLR Camera

    Talked to my Dad, who keeps up on camera stuff, and if you are looking for a point-and-shoot that does more DSLR type things he recommends something like the Canon PowerShot SD100. It shoots in RAW, has an adjustable aperture and shutter speeds, a lot of the features of a DSLR in a compact...

    Romo will always be a volatile high upside play. Even after this week he is still going to be a top-5 in QB's points scored. You know me, I hate volatile guys like that and generally don't have them on my team, but sometimes depending on your records, projected points and your opponent can...

    Ummm, they just held Carolina to 10 points and 3 of them came off of a turnover in their own territory. They have held their opponents to an average of under 12 points over the last 6 games. What more do you want the defense to do?

    In the DSLR range you could get a Canon Rebel T3 w/ lens. That is a body she can learn on and if she gets more into photography can get a few lenses then upgrade down the road. Understand with any DSLR purchase that there is a steeper learning curve to working the camera. She will need to...

    Chuck - Now on Netflix

    I loved this show. It may have gone on a little longer than needed, but the fact they found an excuse to put Yvonne Strahovski in a slutty outfit just about every episode more than made up for it. It was best when it wasn't taking itself very seriously.

    Sounds like Incognito and Martin had vastly different ideas on what kind of relationship they had with each other, but Martin played along with Incognito's version because of fitting in with the locker room and stuff until he couldn't handle it anymore.

    We are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. I love the beer flavor with brats, and I personally think hoppier beers work better for this although I can understand why others might disagree. Not sure which beer you used but most darker beers would have a maltier, sweeter taste to...

    Yeah, if you have Thomas I would be looking to move Davis. I usually don't carry two TEs and Thomas is past his bye. I would try to maybe get another piece instead of the Chiefs D/ST though. Carrying an extra D/ST is usually a waste of a roster spot and the Chiefs will be pretty much useless...

    Don't over value D/ST. Last year if you would have just picked up whichever D/ST that was playing the Jets you would have out scored the #1 ranked D/ST. It is a position that is very hard to predict because it is so TD dependant, it is pretty easy to find a D/ST on the waiver wire with a good...

    I love beer-batter pancakes, and yes there is plenty of beer flavor there. Also love brats cooked in beer, although not for the brats themselves because I doubt they absorb much or any beer flavoring, but the onions I cook in the beer-n-brat juices after are amazing.

    Well as the playoff picture stands right now the Niners would be going into Dallas, so this could all be settled on the field. Unfortunately as much as I would love to say that Kaepernick would win the game for the Niners it will probably end up being Romo who does that.
