@SunDevilDogg: Colin giving it 30 seconds of air to address the issue hardly solves anything. I know it's an NFL rule but history is set (8fgs and 3rd biggest comback)but it's insulting to the fans when instead of history, we're watching people who are watching history!

Wow, this Adrian Peterson guy came out of nowhere. Nobody's talked about him, hyped him up, given him a cool nickname, nor has anyone cautioned Dallas to watch out for him as he's the only part of the Vikings offense that doesn't suck. I don't blame the Dallas D for being surprised and letting him run down their throats.

@Point_God: I get one lucky pick a year. Last year, I dropped Bledsoe for Romo just before Romo came in...

ANd yes, I started him cuz Kasey has a bye, but he's doing surprisingly well this year, so I carried both. Now comes the all important decision: Keep Bironas, or keep Kasey?
