    Jed York was asked if the new 49ers stadium would be designed like C-Link specifically to enhance crowd noise and he flat out said no.

    I hate fantasy football sometimes. Think my team looks great, I am so stacked at RB that I start the season with David Wilson as my flex, he fumbles his way out of a job. No problem I have Shane Vereen who did awesome, except he broke his wrist and is pretty much done for the fantasy season...

    I'm sticking with Nicks until E.J. proves it. I see E.J. regressing from his week 1 performance personally. But if I am wrong on that Johnson will probably outperform Nicks. Also I'm staying far away from any Denver RB. Which Denver RB ends up with points depends so much on which one happens...

    Towards the end of last season Seattle's run D was getting gashed. Even the ghost of Michael Turner put up 100 yards against them. And they are thin on their front 7 due to injuries and suspensions. Only reason Gore doesn't have a good day is if Seattle blows them out again like last time...

    You'd think the Seahawks were playing in the Superbowl with the amount of hype about the Sunday night game going on around here.

    I always hated the veto rules in most leagues. I played in a league with this bitch who any time a trade was happening with a team she was playing against, would veto the trade and try to rally support to get the trade vetoed from others. Vetoing became more of a strategy play rather than...

    It takes some time but it is so worth it to be able to utilize your entire pedal stroke. I'm to the point now that when I ride flats and I need to put my foot down I still do the twisting motion like I'm using clipless. It is second nature to me now.

    Yeah, pretty much any chance to trade a TE not named Gronk or Graham for a potential top 10 RB I would jump all over that. *edit: Now I'm not saying that Manning doesn't turn Thomas into one of those top flight TE's by the end of the season. The thing is, unless you are playing against the...

    Yeah, it is probably a good idea when asking "who should I play" to give a basic rundown of your league rules. Standard, PPR, QB's get 6, etc. Don't need a full list (unless your league is crazy) but some basics are needed. Anyways, I try to stick with RB's in flex in standard so I would...

    Unless it is a different Madden commercial, that is actually Russell Wilson doing the Kaepernicking. I don't understand all the Kaepernicking hate. I don't see how it is any worse than Cam Newton and his 'Supermanning' or Aaron Rodgers and his championship belt. Unless of course you hate...

    I don't know about that, Jacksonville's offense looks terrible and Oakland defense looked serviceable against Indy (which means they could look like world-beaters against Jac). However, Henne did seem to help Shorts last year when he filled in though. To me it is Cameron then a coin-flip, but...

    Edelman might worth a pick-up, I would probably play him over anyone else you listed there. Also available in 65% of leagues worth looking at is Brian Hartline. He seemed to really benefit from there being a legitimate #1 receiver down there now.

    Also, the refs from the SF/GB game admitted that Mathews, not Staley, should have gotten the second flag as well after the late hit and ensuing skirmish which would have given the Niners a 1st and goal from inside the 5. So I guess that whole thing balances out more or less.

    The damn delay of game penalties have been plaguing the Niners for years now. With Harbaugh it seems like it is due to all the shifting they do and the reads Kaep is making, but the delay of game issues date back before even Harbaugh and co. Even when they aren't getting penalties they are...

    Every #1 WR will have a game or two where they are taken away, but more often then not they will get their touches anyways. Calvin Johnson has been the one and only offensive threat in Detroit for years and still put up monster fantasy seasons.

    Niners got a good win and have the advantage of playing their tough games at home. Seattle just winning a 10am start time on the east coast was a statement imo. I still think the NFC West will come down to which team figures out the Rams. G.B. will probably be favored in every game from here...

    First off, don't make decisions based on what other players you (or your opponent) has. Make each positional decision in a vacuum and put out the team that you think is going to score the most points. You start sitting guys cause you are hedging your bets or your opponent has the QB of your WR...

    Big problem with the Niners/Seahawks rivalry is that this is really the first time since they realigned the divisions that both teams have been good. Lack of history combined with a lack of competitive games doesn't make for a storied and intense rivalry. Carroll and Harbaugh brought in their...

    Nine Inch Nails - New album is done

    I'm loving the new album so far. While it still has a lot of his new "I'm not doing drugs anymore" flair to it, it feels like he harked back to his roots a little bit. Like you took his new-found love of club music and built those songs on the backbone of the Fragile. Feels more like NIN and...
