Which QB should I start for my fantasy team? Cam Newton or Russell Wilson? Newton is going to be my starter for most of the year, but they are facing each other week 1 so I don't know who to go with. Seattle has a great defense so I don't know if I should start Wilson. Who would you start?

I wasn't crazy about Survival, but I honestly really like Berzerk. It took a few listens just to wrap my head around it though, seeing as how the beat is all over the place and there's so many odd sounds. That said, I think it's a really good song. Nice to see true Slim Shady for once. It's been a while. I'm optimistic about MMLP2 but I don't think there's any way he'll top or even match the original MMLP. So what do you think about it? If you're not an Em fan, don't bother answering. I'm not trying to garner any hate. And no, I'm not a Stan. I've always like his pre-Relapse stuff the most.

This is my first year doing fantasy football, so I want to know if my team is any good. I know I have good players but I'm not too familiar with fantasy. Keep in mind that my screen froze during the draft so 5 of my players were autopicked.

QB- Cam Newton

RB- Doug Martin

RB- CJ Spiller

WR- Dez Bryant

WR- Danny Amendola (autopick)

TE- Greg Olsen

Flex- David Wilson (autopick, but I'm glad it picked him)

K- Josh Brown

Defense- Steelers

BE- Russell Wilson

BE-Matt Schaub

BE- Steve Smith (autopick)

BE- Torrey Smith

BE- Montee Ball (autopick)

BE- Shane Vareen (autopick)

BE- Reuben Randle

By the way, it's an 8 team league on ESPN.

They're now 3.5 games behind the A's for the 2nd wild card spot, and begin a huge series with the Rays tonight. They're one of the hottest teams in baseball right now (not as hot as the Dodgers or Rangers, I know) having won 11 of their last 14 and 5 in a row. We still have a lot of games against divisional opponents this year, so I don't think a playoff push is out of the question.

So now I'll get to the point I guess. Let's say the Rays take the first WC spot. Between the A's, Indians, Orioles, and Yankees, who do you think has the best shot to snag the 2nd WC? Personally, I think the Indians are going to fall off in September. Francona has been amazing but the team isn't exactly loaded with talent on the pitching end beyond Masterson.

The A's not having Colon right now is hurting. Parker has been good but their offense is been rather anemic, with both Cespedes and Reddick being huge disappointments.

The Orioles, to me, have some serious issues with their starting pitching, as well as their gap at the closer position with Jim Johnson being very erratic this whole season.

Ultimately, I think the WC is right there for the Yanks. With 35 games left, I think they need to go about 23-12 from here on out to get in. What are your thoughts?

Who do you think will win:

AL and NL MVP

AL and NL Cy Young

AL and NL RoY

My picks for the awards are-

AL MVP- Miguel Cabrera, as long as his current hip injury doesn't last too long. If he goes down, next in line is Chris Davis.

NL MVP- 2 days ago, my pick was Yadier Molina. But now that he's on the DL, I'm not so sure. Carlos Gonzalez is probably my next guy, followed by Paul Goldschmidt or Allen Craig. I'm surely forgetting a big name, so don't crucify me for missing them.

AL Cy Young- King Felix or Hiroki Kuroda. Yes Scherzer has been great, but Hernández and Kuroda have both been better; pitcher's record is irrelevant.

NL Cy Young- many great pitchers, but I think it's clearly narrowed down to Matt Harvey or Clayton Kershaw. I think I'd give the nod to Kershaw.

AL RoY- I think it comes down to 3 players- Wil Myers, Jose Iglesias, and Chris Archer. Yes, Iglesias and Archer are still qualified as rookies, despite debuting in 2011 and 2012 respectively. I'd probably give the final nod to Iglesias for his unbelievable defense on top of his unexpected .330 avg.

NL RoY- I don't really see how you can go with anyone who isn't Yasiel Puig or Jose Fernandez. Both of them deserve it, but I'm gonna say Puig.

So who do you think will win these awards?

I will make another post after the trade deadline next week, as you can bet several teams will look to make a big splash who can help get them into the playoffs.

As right now, here are my predictions-

Division winners-

AL East- Red Sox (it's a sad season for my Yankees)

AL Central- Tigers

AL- West- A's

AL Wild Card 1- Rays

AL Wild Card 2- Rangers

NL East- Braves

NL Central- Cardinals

NL West- Dodgers

NL Wild Card 1- Pirates

NL Wild Card 2- Reds

-----------------------------------------

Playoff predictions:

AL WC game- Rangers at Rays- Rays

NL WC game- Reds at Pirates- Reds

ALDS- Rays vs Red Sox- Red Sox in 5

ALDS- Tigers vs A's- Tigers in 5

NLDS- Reds vs Cardinals- Cardinals in 4

NLDS- Dodgers vs Braves- Dodgers in 4

ALCS- Red Sox vs Tigers- Tigers in 6

NLCS- Dodgers vs Cardinals- Cardinals in 5

World Series- Cardinals vs Tigers- Tigers in 7

What are your predictions?

Alright so I'm a 16 year old guy and a sophomore in high school. I'm athletic, about 6'1" 150 pounds. I'm a nice guy and am always relaxed. Some people may see me as boring, which I probably am on the outside. Anyways, I've always been pretty shy around new people. Once I get to know them, i'm very outgoing.

I have a pretty good amount of friends and am generally liked by people, as I never really get into situations that would give people reason to dislike me. However, and as cliché as this may sound, I can't talk to girls. It's not even that I can't, I just never get a chance. Most of my classes have very few pretty girls so that kind of sucks, but even at that, I think that since I'm so quiet, I never get talked to by girls. And since I have no reason to believe any of them would be interested in talking to me, I keep my distance.

I used to be good friends with a girl in 7th and 8th grade and she really liked me (as a best friend) so I know I can get girls to like me once I get the chance to talk to them, but once high school started we stopped talking and she started hanging out with questionable people and making questionable decisions, so wwe grew apart. And she's pretty much the last girl I've texted. I'm not looking for a girlfriend or anything like that, as there are quite honestly very few girlfriend type girls in my school. But I feel at 16, it's weird to not have any interaction with them whatsoever.

My typical school day consists of me talking to my friends in the lobby before the bell, then going through classes not saying a word, as I have only 4 out of 8 classes with friends in them, and then go to baseball after school. That's pretty much the cycle, and while I'm content right now, I really want to know why I'm virtually invisible to girls. I wouldn't consider myself ugly, but just average.

I keep trying to tell myself to just forget high school at this point and just focus on school and sports and to let girls come later in college or something, but why should I believe things will change? I really need some advice here. I feel super anti social, as outside of baseball, I never really go out anywhere. And seeing everyone go out and partying and interacting is kind of dejecting. I feel like I'm just blending in, which is definitely how I like to be, but not quite this extreme.

What can I do? It's not necessarily how to talk to girls that I need help with, it's how do I stop being invisible?

Okay so I want to do something fun at school for April Fools tomorrow, and I've had a few ideas but they've proven to be flawed. First, I wanted to unnleash my pack of hungry crocodiles into the lobby to scare everyone and get a good laugh. The crocodiles only eat fat people though, so I figured it wouldn't be an issue. But then I realized my school is full of fatties and I wouldn't want to be charged with mass murder. So having my crocodiles run around terrorizing the school is out of the question.

My 2nd idea was to take acid on the school bus on the way to school, and then give it to everybody else at school by pissing in their mouths and having the LSD travel through my urine stream. But then I realized my entire school already does acid so it wouldn't have a huge effect.

But now I think I've got my best idea yet: go to school naked! I live about 10 minutes away so I will run butt naked in the freezing cold to school, run into the lobby, and slap my meat in people's faces. After I predictably get in trouble for it, I will get called to the principle's office. When he turns around to make his coffee, I will jump on the desk, leave a steaming dookey on his papers, and run away to go live with my crocodiles in the swamp. My school will me so confused, and everyone will be hospitalized (but not killed!) because of the beating they take from me flopping my junk all around school.

Now, I know this idea may sound crazy, but I'm done with school unless President Nixon passes a law allowing crocodiles to be domesticated. I belong with my own kind. I need to be FREE. And I know I can find that peace with my gators teaching me their ways down in the swamps. Don't worry though, they won't eat me. I'll tell them to be nice to me. I'm really tryna execute this plan tomorrow. Just wanted to know what you all think about it.

The league has 14 teams.

This is my starting lineup tonight, so if a good player is on the bench, it's cause he's not playing tonight.

PG- Lou Williams

SG- Brandon Knight

G- Wesley Mathews

SF- Thabo Sefolosha

PF- Paul Millsap

F- Josh Smith

C- Greg Monroe

UTIL- Thomas Robinson

UTIL- Tyson Chandler

Bench- Kyle Lowry (INJ)

Bench- Kris Humphries

Bench- Bradley Beal

Bench- Kirk Hinrich

I get- Zach Randolph and Dion Waiters or Kemba Walker (haven't decided which one I wanna ask for)

He gets- Kyle Lowry and Bradley Beal

I love Lowry, but Randolph is a monster on the boards. Beal has been mediocre, but Walker has been great, and Waiters has been solid as well. I'm leaning towards Kemba, because I'm a UConn fan and loved Kemba when he led them to the NCAA Championship, and I'd love to have him on my team. Also, the perseon I'm potentially trading with is a huge Lowry fan because he's a Villanova fan.

Should I only give away Lowry and keep Beal, considering Lowry is a top 5 fantasy PG and Kemba isn't? I really do want Kemba and Randolph though. I offered him Lowry and Beal for Kyrie Irving but it he turned it down. He really wants Lowry though, so I think I can trade him and get a monster rebounder and a former UConn star, who's really coming into his own this season.

Now that I've rambled on far too long, would this be a good trade? Should I maybe push to get 3 players from him (Kemba AND Waiters)? Please tell me what you would do.

Finally time for some NFL again. Counting down the days to September 5th.

Every year I make predictions, so here they are for 2012-2013.

NFC North-

Packers- 13-3

BQ: GATM vs RAW?

BQ2: How do you think knock madness will be?

As crazy as it sounds, this did happen. About an hour ago, I was chilling in my basement watching tv (home alone) and when I sat down on my couch, I felt a little bit of pain in my crotch area. So I felt down my pants to kind of adjust my balls and I only felt one nut...

So I pulled my pants down and to my dismay, I only saw one nut. And it's not like only my nut dissapeared, the entire right side of my scrotum was gone. I ran upstairs saying out loud "no, this isn't happening." then i thought to myself "****! My ball popped! What am I gonna do? How will I tell mom? I'm home alone and I have one nut. What are girls gonna think when they see me with one nut? Laugh?" so all this went through my mind in a span of about 15 seconds.

I was panicking as I ran into the bathroom to look in the mirror. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and pulled my pants down. Sure enough, it was still gone. I touched it and it looked like it had magically dissapeared. It wasn't in the left side of my sac so there was no where else it could conceivably be. I was thinking it couldn't have popped though because it really didn't hurt that bad. I always pictured popping a nut as giving birth x10. So I touched it, and just as I was about to break down and cry, my nut just appeared out of nowhere and it was back to normal. I was relieved and actually started laughing out loud because of my happiness.

I have never been so terrified in my life...has this happened to anybody else? have you ever heard of a similar case?

This has been the weirdest day of my life. First my doc makes a move on me and I c*m on her face by accident, and now this happens.

At this point in the season, what are your playoff predictions?

AL East- Yankees

AL Central- Tigers

AL West- Rangers

AL WC- Angels and A's

NL East- Nationals

NL Central- Reds

NL West- Dodgers

NL WC- Giants and Pirates

2012 Playoffs:

AL one game playoff- Angels vs A's- Angels

NL one game playoff- Giants vs Pirates- Giants

ALDS- Yankees vs Angels- Yankees in 5

ALDS- Tigers vs Rangers- Rangers in 4

NLDS- Nationals vs Giants- Nationals in 4

NLDS- Reds vs Dodgers- Reds in 4

ALCS- Yankees vs Rangers- Yankees in 7

NLCS- Nationals vs Reds- Nationals in 6

World Series- Yankees vs Nationals- Yankees in 6

Yes, I'm a Yankee fan, but I really feel they can win a title this year. Wouldn't be surprised to see somebody like the Reds or Nats win though.

Who are some rappers who rap about important stuff like Tupac did? I listen to Pac, Eminem, Nas, Lupe Fiasco, Kid Cudi, and Royce Da 5'9", and I like them all, but I want to know some more, probably less known rappers who rap about real world issues or emotional things like everybody I just named does.

I'm sick of all the mainstream these days (Lil Wayne, Drake, Wiz Khalifa, Tyga, Big Sean, DJ Khaled, to name a few). I would like to know some more emcees that are influential and don't rap about stupid things.

I've heard of lots of rappers but can't decide which ones to listen to or which ones are the best.

Thanks

So I've been talking to this girl since March or so. We talked a lot in school, and have texted almost every day since school ended. She seems really into me, and I like it her a lot. Like, A LOT. She's very pretty and I'm surprised I even got her to talk to me so much, considering I'm fairly shy. I've been locked in the friend zone all this time, and all I want is to date her. She never hinted at wanting that, until earlier tonight.

She sent a text towards the end of our conversation, saying-

"Do you want to come to my house tomorrow? Nobody will be home for most of the day :)"

Call me crazy, but I think that sounds like she wants to do...stuff. Maybe I'm just looking into it too much. I just hope I'm right.

Why do you think she would tell me nobody is home if she didn't want to do anything with me? I feel like she would have just invited me over and not said the last part.

I just responded "So we'll be alone? I like that. What time?"

And she said "Doesn't matter, any time past noon *smiley emoji*"

I then said "Alright, sounds good. I'll let you know when I leave." trying to sound casual, when really, my heart was pounding and blood was rapidly pumping to my southern region.

Now, I'm not just some loser who only wants to get laid. I actually care about this girl and really want to have a long relationship with her.

I've just been sitting here for the past few hours trying to figure out what she meant exactly. Am I just getting my hopes up for nothing? Does she only want to hang out?

and shoulders shampoo to help with my dry scalp. Does it work??

To clarify the horrendously vague question, I'm asking what your favorite song is from each of Em's 7 studio albums (for example, 8 Mile Soundtrack doesn't count).

Infinite- "Infinite"

Slim Shady LP- "My Name is"

Marshall Mathers LP- "Stan"

The Eminem Show- "'Till I Collapse" or "Sing for the Moment"

Encore- "Mockingbird"

Relapse- "Beautiful"

Recovery- "Going Through Changes"

Here's my list-

10. Rabbit Run (8 Mile OST)

9. 8 Mile (8 Mile OST)

8. The Way I Am (TES I think)

7. Rock Bottom (SSLP)

6. Sing for the Moment (TES)

5. Like Toy Soldiers (Encore)

4. Mockingbird (Encore)

3. 'Till I Collapse (TES)

2. Stan (MMLP)

1. Lose Yourself (8 Mile OST)

What do you think of my list compared to yours?
