Willis would be depth, and keep others away. Sharckie: ok another question SlaminSam: Any other RB's out there SlaminSam: ? Erico Man: In a td league, I need to start 2 of these: Favre(start), Blake, and Mitchell. Who would you SlaminSam: wait, you start two QB's? Sharckie: my recievers are timpson, t. martin & j. reed. how do you think they will do Erico Man: Yes SlaminSam: Go with Blake... Oakland has a beat up secondary Garr5: Sam, will E Green start against SD Sun? MAV61: Sam do you think Mathis performance last year was a fluke? risons having tough times OnlineHost: Matt0529 has entered the room.

BBush60854: megas: bienemy = nothing to date in TD league SlaminSam: Mav, yeah... I told everybody Mathis would fail this year, way back last year. Mathis is SlaminSam: failing because Rison is out of town. Plus, Mathis has been injured Sharckie: do you think they will let testaverde play this week? Erico Man: no Matt0529: Need help I have JReed, Wchrebet, Kmccardel, BBrooks, and Leslie Shepard Top 3 help? SlaminSam: Eric, Brown practiced this week. He's expected to play.

I would go with Chrebet, Brooks and Shepherd Matt0529: THanks Sam SlaminSam: Tom, yeah... so far they haven't made up. George is such an immature kid that it wouldn't SlaminSam: shock me if he ignored Emanuel this week. SlaminSam: Sharckie, the word I got is that he'll play. Sharckie: who would you pick, m. allen or c. heyward? Erico Man: Rhett has a bye so I have to start either Meggett or Brown. Meggett right? He might get a 2 Erico Man: point conv. Erico Man: ! SlaminSam: Eric, you damned either way. I would go with Meggett. Garr5: Do you think that will that significantly effect outcome of George's production against Det SlaminSam: Not at all... he has Metcalf MAV61: Have Young/Kramer in a keeper league..Means,Rhett, Irvin, Rison, Mitchell, Elliot, Dall BBush60854: Anyone have an opinion on Dieon at WR? Sharckie: i think dieon is too important to their def Megas21: Sam, I didn't get your feed back on willis. Do you think he will keep the starting job? SlaminSam: Bush, I like what I saw last week. He's got some skills Matt0529: what ever was the secret position cunningham was suppose to play ? SlaminSam: BTW, I wanted to thank you all for coming to the show tonite. I had some competition. As Sharckie: sam, m.allen or c. heyward SlaminSam: you may know, both Trent Reznor and Shaquille O'Neal are online tonite. BBush60854: Sam - you da man!

SlaminSam: Sharckie, Heyward Matt0529: I see... Sharckie: why heyward MChecki62: 8-1 this season. Does anyone know if Oakland is going to reestablish Williams? PJFarrll: How about Jamal Anderson? SlaminSam: Because he is playing a weak Detroit defense and because he plays full-time SlaminSam: PJ, it all depends on your individual situation. MChecki62: Williams vs Cinn or Ironhead vs Det. Matt0529: how would you guys compare fryar to OJmcduffie SlaminSam: MCheck, he is the main dude in the back field SlaminSam: Matt, both haven't been doing well BBush60854: this is football nirvana, sam - some of us could care less about hoops, baseball, et al MChecki62: Yeah, but he's only rushed for 28 yds in 2 weeks.

OnlineHost: Matt0529 has left the room. SlaminSam: Eric, no... go with Blake... he's a safe pick Megas21: sam how about blake or george this weekend? OnlineHost: MAV61 has entered the room. BBush60854: eric - hos throws into traffic - we get penalized for INT's, he's not popular in our league SlaminSam: Both could have big weeks. I would rank them even right now due to the fact that Oakland SlaminSam: has a beat up secondary Erico Man: He has been dissapointing. Sharckie: I have J Reed, T Martin, Keith Cash, M Timpson and E. Green. Pick three! SlaminSam: Bush, I have the all-time killer in negative INT's... I have Moon as my back up Megas21: reed martin and green? Erico Man: My magic number to finish in first place is 3! SlaminSam: Sharckie... Martin, Reed and Green BBush60854: sam - we had a GM score -2, freotte had 4 picks? Sharckie: M. Stover or L. Elliot to kick? SlaminSam: Bush, Frerotte was my starter last week :( Megas21: I had moon as backup in one league. iam picking him up as my starter in another. BBush60854: sam - you couldn't have won..... SlaminSam: Moon is weak right now SlaminSam: Sharckie, I have no prefernce... Sharckie: thanks for your info sam SlaminSam: Bush, I won by 20 points. When you have Pickens, Rice and Brooks as your starting WR's, SlaminSam: its amazing what you can do OnlineHost: Sharckie has left the room. SlaminSam: plus I have Chris Warren Erico Man: Anderson or Boniol for K? Probably Dog Boniol- he is on TV. BBush60854: rub it in.... SlaminSam: Eric, sounds good to me PJFarrll: What's S Young's status? I have Young and Kramer. Megas21: I agree, but i only have mirer, grbac, and miller. kreig and brown avail. SlaminSam: PJ, start Kramer OnlineHost: MaDMaN2343 has entered the room. SlaminSam: Megas, seriously consider Miller. He's got Bruce to throw to SlaminSam: MaDMaN, welcome to the show! OnlineHost: MaDMaN2343 has left the room. SlaminSam: Oh well, I guess he went to see Reznor Garr5: Sam, At qb, Miller or Mithcell? Megas21: I will use miller, but i am nervous, hell be injured any week. BBush60854: Sam - one last ? - is the Web updated all the time? or is it only on Friday morning? we have SlaminSam: Tom, Mitchell Garr5: Thanks, Sam BBush60854: to get out lineups in Thurs nights by 10 pm! SlaminSam: Bush, we update it Friday morning and add late breaking info on the weekend Garr5: Sam The late breaking updates are very valuable; keep up the good work... SlaminSam: Miller is kind of weak... SlaminSam: Thanks Tom Erico Man: I saw in a newsgroups that S. Mitchell is in a soft cast, how's he doing? Megas21: Does loville's value go up as much as i think it does. 5 to tds here on out? OnlineHost: SLTLML has entered the room. OnlineHost: IMHFactor has entered the room. SlaminSam: He's injured... but he's going to strap it up SLTLML: Hey all! SlaminSam: STL and Factor, welcome to the show! SLTLML: Whats up with Mathis, why did he leave practice Wednesday? Garr5: Hi SLT OnlineHost: MHermanso has entered the room. SLTLML: hey! Megas21: gey stl SlaminSam: Megas, I certainly like his chances now better. I have him and I am banking on it IMHFactor: What's happening guys? SlaminSam: Hermanso, welcome to the Power Hour! SLTLML: not much. Megas21: oops SLTLML SlaminSam: Not much, hey why were you guys late? Did you go to see Trent Reznor or Shaq instead of me? SlaminSam: :) BBush60854: Trent who??? Shaq??? IMHFactor: Reznor Erico Man: let's say it again. SLTLML: No, just busy, going to Daytona Beach tommoro, had to pack. SlaminSam: SLT, he is still banged up... I wouldn't even play him if he was healthy SLTLML: why not? SlaminSam: IMH, seriously? Is he really a pyscho? SlaminSam: Not enough production IMHFactor: Sam-actually it was not even Reznor SLTLML: Who would you start in front, I. Fryar or B. Brooks, thats the only other two good ones I SLTLML: have. SlaminSam: It wasn't? Was it his side show band? IMHFactor: Sam - someone named Marilyn Martin SlaminSam: SLT, I would start either one. Go with Fryar. BBush60854: Sam - what's up with the Commissioner's report? that would be a great addition. OnlineHost: MHermanso has left the room. OnlineHost: MHermanso has entered the room. SlaminSam: IMH, they suck SLTLML: I've been trying to deal Fryar since he's been cold (TD only league), Brooks isn't bad. SlaminSam: Bush, my boy Duane Cahill is going to do a column for me on that next week SlaminSam: Both are better than Mathis IMHO Erico Man: Fryar is very streaky, He'll start going again. Garr5: Sam, given Heyward's perf to date, is he in danger of losing a lot /playing time to J Andrsn SlaminSam: No, Anderson is a change of pace back... SLTLML: That J. Anderson has looked REAL good! BBush60854: Garr - you live near Atlanta? Those fans are the worst. SLTLML: I don't think he'll score much though. SlaminSam: Yeah, I am going to pick Anderson up this week. Only because I am in a 14 team league and w SlaminSam: e start 3 RB's a week Garr5: If Heyward were hurt, would Anderson post similar numbers to Heyward? IMHFactor: Advice-would you trade for Metcalf & Mathis (same owner) for picks next year-I have Fryar SlaminSam: Tom, he would have more yardage, less TD's. OnlineHost: MHermanso has left the room. OnlineHost: Wolsefer has entered the room. Garr5: Ok, thanks Sam Erico Man: Sam, how are you doing in your leagues? SlaminSam: IMH, are you playing for this year or next? SLTLML: I almost had a deal for Fryar and H. Williams for E. Rhett and H. Ellard this week. SlaminSam: Eric, I am 5-4 in one and 7-1 in the other SLTLML: But Ellard got hurt and its Tampas buy week. Wolsefer: Hi Everyone SlaminSam: Dave, welcome! IMHFactor: Sam - for this year - I am in 1st but starting to fade BBush60854: Hi Wols! SLTLML: How do you think Harvey's gonna come off the buy? and is Hos really starting? Wolsefer: been having mucho computer problems SlaminSam: SLT, would have been a nice deal Garr5: Hi Dave; nice update last week on web.... SlaminSam: IMH, then hold on to Metcalf Megas21: I had a trade to get faulk for rice, 3pts rec td 6pts for runs. i didnt pull the trigger in Wolsefer: Thanks Garr, but Sam provided most of the info IMHFactor: Sam - I don't have Metcalf or Mathis - should I trade for them? SlaminSam: To my knowledge, Hos is going to get the call. Harvey should be fine as long as he gets the SlaminSam: ball near the goaline Megas21: time. ill be kicking myself the rest of the year, or till i win it all. SlaminSam: Yeah, but without you, it wouldn't be up there SLTLML: Heres a good connection sight on the web for NFL- SlaminSam: IMH, get Metcalf. Forget Mathis SLTLML: http://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/sports/football_american_/nfl/ SLTLML: gets you everywhere! Erico Man: Get Metcalf. Falcons play an expansion team in week 15. IMHFactor: SLTml - whats on that site Wolsefer: SLTLML yes that is a good one, yu will find link to it from JAWS on the web page Erico Man: I've got 5 Lions and Falcons. Erico Man: 4 that start. SLTLML: EVERYTHING, mosty connections to other good spots, I highly reccomend the site that OnlineHost: PJFarrll has left the room. SLTLML: has the FANTASY FOOTBALL title. SLTLML: Anyone know any sites with live chat? SLTLML: if so send names VIA E-mail. IMHFactor: Sorry SLTLML - dont know any Erico Man: no Wolsefer: I was wondering do most of you use the web page?....I see we are getting about 2500 hits BBush60854: anyone picking up Dieon? Wolsefer: in October, but I can't get reversed sub-domains right now SlaminSam: He's already taken in my league Erico Man: really, that many? SLTLML: someone in my league did and started him last week over H. Jefferies (TD league offense) IMHFactor: Tried to sign on to web page last week-no luck SlaminSam: Reversed sub-domains? Wolsefer: tells you where each person logged on from Sam BBush60854: frorette = reversed sub-domained SlaminSam: Pretty cool SLTLML: Any good players to grab that are available? Got Dunbar this week. Wolsefer: IMHFactor keep trying, they were changing from Solaris to SCO unix on the servers SlaminSam: Bush, I take it your team took the gas pipe wit Frerotte? Megas21: Deion is gone in both my leagues too. IMHFactor: Is picking up E Smith this year worth a 1st round next year BBush60854: killed me.... SlaminSam: SLT, I like this kid named Eric Guliford in Carolina... Jamal Willis and Jamal Anderson SlaminSam: should also be out there. Garr5: Sam, since Bengals did not get a new RB, how wil they use Green for rest of yr; will he SLTLML: IMH, too late to do that. Garr5: cathc and run or just run ? SLTLML: J. Willis, what team's he from? SLTLML: Position too? SlaminSam: Green will get most of the carries... look for Eric Bienemy to get some time Wolsefer: Sam any news on Johnny J lately besides the buffalo rumour? SlaminSam: Willis is from SF... he will replace Floyd this week SlaminSam: Dave, I talked to a guy this week who said there is no way Johnson will play this season SLTLML: Oh, how many TDs can I expect from him? Will he play this season? Garr5: I sthat JJ's choice? BBush60854: dave - found the web and loved the info - is there a way to download all to save $$ ? Wolsefer: That' about what I figured, he can't be in game shape SLTLML: Sam, thats what I'm hearing too lately, the Buffalo thing was just junk I think. SlaminSam: Willis is a FB... and I haven't seen enough of him to make a judgement Wolsefer: BBush yes, just hold down shift before you select each item and it should download or you SLTLML: Okay, will talk more this week. Wolsefer: to a simple text file SLTLML: Is that Gulliford gonna start? I've heard good things about him. BBush60854: dave - thanks - i'm a newcomer to the web. SlaminSam: Hey guys, I just got E-Mail a trade offer... let me know what you think IMHFactor: Anyone know of any FFL networks that need a Chicago source? SlaminSam: This dude wants to send me Robert Smith, Mario Bates and Irving Fryar OnlineHost: P2273 has entered the room. SlaminSam: for Robert Brooks and Derek Loville... what do you think? OnlineHost: P2273 has left the room. Wolsefer: Glad tohelp, btw try netscape if you haven't yet, it is MUCH faster than any other browser SLTLML: Sam, if you need RBs yes, as long as your okay at WR. Wolsefer: I wouldnt do it, I owould stick with what you've got Erico Man: performance or td? SLTLML: I'd get rid of Loville if I had him, he's not gonna score too many more. IMHFactor: Don't trade Brooks Erico Man: both? Megas21: Depends on your situation, but it ddoesnt look good for you. 3 good not = 2 v good. SLTLML: I've been working to get a trade for Pickens lately. Erico Man: Why isn't that person in your league in the SIDELINE? SLTLML: I was thinking of Rice, but decided not too, the guy who has them is in my division. Wolsefer: at one time I had pickens, rice, and bruce BBush60854: sam - trade is a no gainer SLTLML: WOW! Erico Man: I have Rice, Moore, and Fryar IMHFactor: Good luck - Pickens was traded in my league last week for Q Early- to his brother BBush60854: dave - what happened??!! Erico Man: What? Erico Man: Pick for Early OnlineHost: DixieDread has entered the room. IMHFactor: Yeah - sounds like Pickens was given away. huh Erico Man: That's a suicide trade. Megas21: I had rice, brown, brooks, bruce. Wolsefer: I traded rice and bruce for morten anderson, drew bledsoe, ben coates, barry sanders, and OnlineHost: DixieDread has left the room. Wolsefer: marshall faulk SLTLML: One guy in my division (tied for 2nd w/ me) traded off most of his team, including Rice! SlaminSam: Eric, no idea BBush60854: Dave - all good names 'cept for coates.. faulk is fading... SLTLML: Now he's lost 4 straight and in 4th, I'm still in 2nd. Erico Man: What do you mean Sam Wolsefer: I know, but running backs are much toughter in our league than receivers and only emmitt SLTLML: Who are some good RB's that can be had a little cheaply? IYHO? Megas21: Morten anderson and sanders alone was almost worth it. Wolsefer: smith had more fantasy points than morten anderson SLTLML: This is TDs only. IMHFactor: I have Blake, Faulk, C Martin,Fryar, B Brooks, Stoyanovich-- Megas21: Good trade , wolsefer. OnlineHost: TWA32 has entered the room. SlaminSam: Well, I have Pickens and Rice... in a combined league Garr5: By folks and thanks for sharing your input Wolsefer: I thought so Megas21, but bye weeks hve been killing me SLTLML: no prob. SlaminSam: If I did the deal I would have a much more balanced team IMHFactor: Ican get E Smith & Metcalf for a 1st and 5th round next yr OnlineHost: Resone1 has entered the room. OnlineHost: Garr5 has left the room. Megas21: I traded brown for h williams. Pickens and rice. no fair. BBush60854: STL - i see J.Stewart for MINN got some carries.. Erico Man: Who are your RB's? Erico Man: Sam^ OnlineHost: Resone1 has left the room. SLTLML: I wouldn't trade draft picks. H. Williams and C. Warren. IMHFactor: Is Blake fully recovered from his concussion Wolsefer: FSU down by 6 SLTLML: I'm talking guys who should score 10 TDs, but aren't well known. SLTLML: Harvey Williams type guy. TWA32: What's up? I need some advise about a starting QB. SlaminSam: My RB's are Loville, Warren, Fenner and I have start all three SlaminSam: IMH, yeah, I believe so SlaminSam: TWA, bring it on TWA32: I have Young and Frerotte...who should I start this week?? Wolsefer: hopefully pickens will get more than 16 yards with his 2 touchdowns this week SLTLML: Frerotte! IMHFactor: Start Ferotte-Young may not play SlaminSam: Go with Frerotte unless you hear that Young will start TWA32: Young is listed as probable on the IR SLTLML: Young won't play this week, BTW. Erico Man: Even so, How long will Young be in the gam? not long Wolsefer: Is Vinny history? Megas21: Wolsefer, Id take 2td's and two yards in a combined league all year long. BBush60854: TWA - Frerotte vs. KC - do you get minus points for INT's? TWA32: no minus pts. IMHFactor: Is C Martin due for a strong 2nd half? Anyone? Wolsefer: I KNOW, but I lost to the first place team by 8 pts cause he had mitchell and herman moore SLTLML: I think Martin's success is due to good play by his OL, I don't think it will last. SlaminSam: Wolsefer, until Zeier falters... it looks as though Vinny is nailed to the pine BBush60854: Martin - streaky.... tough for FF OnlineHost: MAV61 has left the room. SlaminSam: Guys, I gotta wrap it up... I got some trade offers on the table I have to get to. IMHFactor: OK start C Martin or D Holmes this week? Erico Man: When is Barry Sanders gonna start scoring. I'm ready. Megas21: Ouch. What youneeded was rice and the 49ers toshow up> Wolsefer: I will be real interested to see what Washington does with Schuler.....potential franchise SLTLML: Bad play by the OL has brought down Bledsoe, look at how BAD a year he's having! SlaminSam: Give out any last questions... SlaminSam: IMH, go with Martin Wolsefer: QB in him and they can't keep both SLTLML: Martin vs. NYJ, Holmes isn't that great, yet. Unproven as starter. BBush60854: Bye all! SlaminSam: AND REMEMBER - CHECK OUT THE WEB PAGE TOMMOROW AT: TWA32: thanks guys. later OnlineHost: TWA32 has left the room.
