Am I crazy for wanting to bench Demaryius Thomas? I have Edelman, Crabtree, and Allen as my other receivers that are starting this week (10 team, standard; semifinal round). Jordy Nelson is my 5th receiver and he is on my bench for this one.

My train of thought: Thomas is playing the Texas, who are good against the pass. Edelman and Allen are hot right now - can't take them off (what do you think?) and Crabtree has a great matchup against the Bucs.

HOWEVER!!!!! The team I am facing has Payton Manning; I can start Thomas so whenever he completes passes to Thomas or records TD's to Thomas, I get points as well.

Your thoughts?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

qb: mccown, cutler, rodgers (rodgers is my starting qb, but I have been playing a bevy of qb's since his injury, this week i will play either mccown or cutler)

RB: Stacy, Vereen, Lacy, Ball, Mendenhall

WR: Demaryius Thomas, Jordy Nelson, Michael Crabtree, Julian Edelman

TE: Greg Olsen

K: Gotskowski

Def: Bengals

On the waiver wire which I want to get,

- Darren McFadden (I know people aren't high on him, but I am still a believer) - is he an upgrade over Ball?

-Keenan Allen...drop edelman for him?

-Greene TE for chargers, can be a nice back up to Greg Olsen....

Let me know your thoughts and thanks!

Starting line up:

QB: McCown

RB: Zac Stacy, Eddie Lacy

WR: Demaryius Thomas, Jordy Nelson

TE: Greg Olsen

Flex: Shane Vereen

K: Gotskowski

Def: Bengals

Bench:

QB: Rivers, Palmer, Rodgers (I play matchups with QB until Rodgers gets back, he will be my starter once he comes back)

RB: Benny Cunningham (backup to Zac Stacy; just in case Stacy doesn't play this week), Montee Ball

WR: Michael Crabtree

10-team standard scoring. First place in division, second place overall at 8-4.

I know I lack a lot of depth but it is because of the Rodgers situation.

I think I have a real solid roster for the playoffs. What do you guys think?

McCown, Palmer, or Rivers for this week? How about rest of the season (I also have Rodgers and I am waiting for him to get healthy; he will move to my starting lineup as soon as he is ready to play). I would like to drop some QB's to get some RB's with potential, like McFadden, Powell, or Bolden.

Hello, I recently got married and a friend of mine gave me a used Yamaha RX-V 3800 Receiver for my birthday - it's supposed to be a top-of-the-line receiver (at least in 2008 it was). Point being, I just have it there at home, collecting dust. I want to use it. This is what I have:

The before-mentioned receiver

A PS3

A DirecTV HD Box

2 Speaker Towers with speaker wire

1 Subwoofer (although it is very old and rather not use it; I dont even have the remote control for it and the faceplate of the subwoofer is gone).

I have the PS3 and the DirecTV HD Box hooked up to the TV via HDMI cables.

This is what I want (maybe it's not even possible): when I am watching TV or playing on the PS3, I want to be able to hear audio from the TV as well as the 2 speaker towers I have. I want to be able to turn off the 2 speaker towers if for some reason it's too loud and I just want to listen to audio from the TV (the wife might want this all the time)............please please help! Do I need to buy something? Thanks!!!!!!

QB: Mike Glennon

RB: Eddie Lacy, Zac Stacy

WR: Demaryius Thomas, Jordy Nelson

TE: Greg Olsen

FLEX: Shane Vereen

Def: I play streamers

K: Robbie Gould

Bench: Emmanuel Sanders (I put in waiver claim for Michael Crabtree), Phillip Rivers, Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Dobson, Trent Richardson

Record is 7-4; 2 games ahead of nearest team. Currently in the playoffs.

Any suggestions?

I am the commissioner and these trades came accross my desk: help me evaluate them.

Josh Gordon and DeAngelo Williams for Zac Stacy

Charles Clay for Bobby Rainey

Matthew Stafford for Jason Witten and Torrey Smith

Thanks.

I need your suggestions on your lineup.

Currently I am planning on starting

QB: Phillips Rivers

RB: Eddie Lacy, DeAngelo Williams

WR: Demaryius Thomas, Jordy Nelson,

TE: Greg Olsen

Flex: Aaaron Dobson

K: Robbie Gould

Def: Jets

On my bench:

Trent Richardson ( I would love to hear from TRich owners - I have started him every week and I've had it with him), Josh Gordon, Emmanuel Sanders, Michael Crabtree

Is this my optimal lineup? What do you guys think?

Notable people on waivers: Reuben Randle, Jericco Cotchery, Mike Tolbert, DeAndre Hopkins, Marlon Brown, Rashad Mendenhall

Here's the deal. I am the commissioner of a league. At the beginning of last week, I proposed a trade to a friend: my Darren Sproles for his Emmanuel Sanders. He never responded - I never canceled the trade. All of a sudden, I get an e-mail saying the trade has been approved. He approved during the Saints-Cowboys game in which Sproles had a HUGE game. I feel cheated since he took forever to answer the trade and only accepted it when he saw that Sproles had a huge game. As the commissioner, I can veto this trade.

But do you think that's fair? Or am I being selfish?

Advice please. Thanks.

Your opinion?

I'm 4-2, but I feel like an underdog almost every week. My draft picks in the first two rounds aren't living up to their standard. Therefore, I would propose Aaron Rodgers, who is not pass-happy anymore becuase of Eddie Lacy, and Trent Richardson, who has really underperformed but has loads of talent, for Payton Manning.

Advice?

What do you guys think? Joseph Randle is the new Cowboys RB.

Also, which TE to start - Greg Olsen or Charles Clay?

Out of these 4, which three would you start?

Demaryius Thomas

Jordy Nelson

Torrey Smith

Josh Gordon

Choose 2 WR's: Demaryius Thomas, Josh Gordon, Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson, Torrey Smith

Choose 2 RB's: Darren Sproles, Trent Richardson, DeAngelo Williams, Eddie Lacy

Choose 1 flex out of these

Thanks.

QB: Aaron Rodgers, Michael Vick

RB: Trent Richardson, Darren Sproles, DeAngelo Williams, Eddie Lacy

WR: Demaryius Thomas, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Torrey Smith, Josh Gordon

TE: Greg Olsen, Charles Clay

DEF: I like playing with matchups, but I have the Bengals right now

K: I play with the matchups

I am willing to trade Demaryius, Jordy, and Randall Cobb. Reason: their perspective QB's have soo many weapons at their disposal that it's hard for them to have monster games.

I am 4-1 in the season, 10-team league, no PPR scoring.

My other WR's are Jordy Nelson, Torrey Smith, Demaryius Thomas. Not a PPR league.

I've always wanted to take my girlfriend to a kinky restaurant in Los Angeles/OC. I'm not talking about romantic..I don't need help for that lol. I want a kinky restaurant..where its ok to I dunno....she could wear something slutty or ....u get the picture. There was a sushi restaurant in hollywood where u could eat the sushi on a woman's body, but that restaurant doesn't exists anymore. any help is appreciated...thanks!

I plan to propose to my girlfriend of almost 5 years sometime within the next two months. However, I need some help planning on where and how to do it. Long story short - I wanted to propose in Vegas, but that plan won't happen because because of unnamed reasons. We live in Los Angeles, and we want to get away from this city a little bit. It would be a one-day trip, early morning to late night. I am thinking of two scenarios: San Diego and Santa Barbara. San Diego sounds more appealing to me because a) its a bit closer to LA b) I think there are more clubs in San Diego than Santa Barbara. My ideal day would be early morning get to our destination, then have some activities in the city, then propose while watching the sunset either at a private boat or intimate restaurant, then go to a club to celebrate, then head home. Please don't be limited to only San Diego or Santa Barbara in your response. I don't know anything about the OC...maybe there are good activities there. If you want any more info, ask away. I have a little more than two months which is perfect timing. Hope to hear from all you guys/girls.

I have a LG Voyager and my contract with Verizon ends in Dec 2010. I really want an iPhone but I am unwilling to switch to AT&T. I am hearing for a while that the iPhone will team up with Verizon in late 2010 - so I think that I am in perfect position to make the switch.....but is the iPhone REALLY GOING TO SWITCH TO VERIZON????? Thanks.
