    NFL Network showed the game unless you were in indy or Dallas then you had to check the local channels 

     

    Fox59 I thought was indy channel 

     

    Im in NC, so I have no idea why it was blacked out but NFL network said there were broadcast restrictions. Oh well

  2. That would be Mitchell, not Melvin. Walker was no worse than I expected for his first game. 

     

    And you said it - it's preseason. Everything is vanilla. As much as you can criticize Chuds play calling last year, you can't really say much when it's the preseason.

    Lol,

     

    Current draft order, reverse of last year's season standings and taking into account teams that left.

     

    1.

    2. @Bluefire4

    3. @IndyD4U

    4. Luck be a lady

    5. @BPindy

    6. @Btown_Colt

    7. Team hulce 

    8. @Coltman51

    9. Me

    10. 

     

    We have to fill the vacant spots with @chad72 and @Lucky Colts Fan

     

    However, to prevent new people from possibly getting best positions, I offer vacant spots first to the person below and then above.

     

    So #1 is being offered to #2. If he doesn't take it,  and since there is No one above #1, it is locked as vacant and will be filled by one of the new guys. 

     

    #10 is also vacant,  since I do not want to drop down,  that spot is locked. 

     

    Here is where things change and a vote is needed.  If #2 takes #1, that leaves #2 vacant.  If I follow like I did last year, #2 would be locked and become a vacant spot for one of the news guys to fill.

     

    However, the league has the option to change that and have sort of a continual offering.  In this setting, #2 would then be offered to #3. IF #3 takes it,  then #4 would be offered #3.

     

    However, if #3 declines #2, Then #4 would not get offered #2 and would become locked.

     

    So, do you want me to lock it after one move like last year or do a continuous offering?

     

    I'm fine with just locking it after one

  4. So my friends and I have a keeper league where you can take 2 players 2 rounds earlier than they were drafted the previous year. This often takes away a bunch of the top players. This year the most notable names off limits are Johnson, Odell Beckham, Freeman, Gordon, Howard, and Ajayi........and I'm picking 12th. 

     

    I will already have my receivers off to a good start (get Baldwin and M Thomas in later rounds). So who do I go after? 

     

    Ill be lucky if Murray gets to me, so would you reach for Fournette and Gurley?

    Just like all youth today, these guys are softer, are coddled more,  and because of the money they make , they can "afford" to sit.

    also, because of the investment mad in these guys, i think teams are more cautious.  The union also makes it difficult now to cut players for injuries. Can u imagine if us in the "real world" tried that crap?

    i also think athletes of today have their bodies tweaked as high as they will go. Think of a ferrari vs a toyota camry.  Which is gonna have more problems?  Add in off-season training which doesn't allow the body to rest and heal like it needs.  Then soft camps with less hitting and tackling:

    i think there are lots of reasons for this.

     

    sports nutrition and conditioning has advanced, and players are on average bigger and stronger.

    More muscle mass --> easier to tear soft tissue. Especially when players bulk up quickly and their supporting structures can't adapt fast enough.
