    Our first splash in the injury pool. Well, eliminated from it anyway.

    The latest from John McClain (Texans beat writer).

    Sounds day-to-day but nothing concrete to go on, either way.

    anytime you hear hamstring for a guy who needs to run fast....

    you should run also.

    i avoided foster for that reason and took ben tate for the same

    Will hurt fantasy teams more than Houston.

    Kubiak comes from the Shanahan school of making no name running backs into superstars.

    I couldn't care less about fantasy football, but I was very impressed with him today when he was interviewed on PTI. He was very articulate and well-spoken, and gave thoughtful answers to all of the questions. I guess that comes from being a philosophy major at Tennessee.

    His college career was decidedly mixed, but he's been money in the NFL, and seems like a guy who is easy to root for (especially given that he was undrafted).

    I was surprised when he went undrafted. I know he had a crappy final year at UT, but he flashed early round talent prior to that. Also, he writes poems and shit.

    i actually called his dominance.

    it was funny cuz i only did my first fantasy draft this season.

    and i was supposed to be in one that fell through last year.

    but early on i raved about him to friends and told someone i was spending one of my first two picks on him in the draft he looked at me like i was crazy.

    needless to say it wouldve been nice to win that last yr.

    i was a big fan of his at UT and saw that last season of his as an fluke and byproduct of UT in general.

    He's in a contract year, too. For a guy on a UDFA contract who absolutely dominated the league and then quietly signed his ERFA tender, you really wanted to see him repeat his performance and cash in. I hope he gets back to the field and back to form quickly...and I even have Ben Tate on my Foster-less roster.

    Maybe we can beat them for the first time...

    Fucking pathetic that we are 0-5 or 0-6 against them...

    Ben Tate, Derrick Ward, or Steve Slaton... hmm. Tate is the popular choice. But Ward seems cemented as the number 2 and goalline back. It is troubing as they are all hurt. I think I'll just avoid the whole lot and not give myself a headache trying to figure it out.

    Why doesn't a mod edit his avatar or subtitle to make that more clear? I just thought deathstar was a tool fairy.

    Because it is already pretty damn obvious that he is a dolphin fan....

    Why can't he be both a Dolphin fan and a fairy? They are not mutually exclusive, actually it is quite the opposite, they are quite linked.

    Agreed and agreed. It was so obvious. I really don't know how I missed it.

    Honestly, though, if I were a mod here, then I'd edit every Dolphin fan post to tag :finssuck: at the end. Even better, make it a rule that they do it or be banned.
