Or, you can just pretend the title of this thread is "HOF league discussion" if that makes it easier for you :lol:
Are you trying to say my comment about it being precisely what its called poking fun at people complaining that its a thread full of camp hype is somehow out of place? Could you clarify your stance with a twitter quote please?
Yes, I can absolutely do that.

I’m not going to be swayed by training camp videos.

...Unless they reinforce my preconceived notions.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Brilliant, some people just like taking dumps on others fun for no reason I can fathom. There is every chance we get no season and this is it so soak it up friends.

Good good let the hype flow through :twisted:

Preston Williams and Philip Lindsay were just silly training camp hypes before they become viable players. Could have had them for cheap
I drafted Williams in the 15th round at pick 15.12(literally our MR irrelevent) of my leagues rookie draft my brother, you preach-ith to the choir! I said when i drafted him "Meet the best WR the Dolphins have on their roster!". Everyone said "who is that?". Three weeks into the season I had emails either cussing me for finding him or asking me to trade him. Moments like that are why I play, not winning fantasy bowls.

I am just having fun in a thread meant to be fun gang. Link the hype trains I am buying tickets here.

This is the time of year where Charlatan's gather. Twitter is a sh@tstorm of them, including almost, if not al of the podcast industry.

Yep. Helped them win a ton of fantasy weeks....(I hav Edwards in multiple leagues and am a Raiders fan, BTW) Just love these guys in their early 20's or 30's with a twitter handle and a "podcast" with a handful of followers thinking they have an innate contact with the supreme being. The Fantasy Podcast world is over run with Charlatans, IMO.

heh heh... I did enjoy writing that one... I am trying to keep this thread as tongue-in-cheek as possible, as I know the general feeling here around this stuff. Glad it's being appreciated for the toilet paper it's printed on, though :lol:

Can't disagree with you either Freak, but if we didn't love being pandered to, it wouldn't be the wildly successful cash cow industry that it is. Learning which sources you can and can't trust is everything in this game. I'm just happy we've got football news at all right now to speculate and overreact wildly to.

I've been around long enough I don't trust any of them, not completely. It all comes back to one source.

Quintez Cephus is apparently continuing to torture Jeff Okudah on the pro level and had a big day in practice yesterday.

Okudah has said that Cephus (went to Wisconsin) was his toughest matchup in college.

Quez Watkins is reportedly making lots of plays at Eagles camp, looking much better than earlier-drafted Hightower and developing some chemistry with Wentz:

It doesn't matter what we want. Once we get it, we want something else.

I don’t want to say I told you so, but Edwards is running with the 1st team and impressing. May just be an earning your stripes deal, but love the talk that he’s picking the playbook up fast too.
I may or may not be related to Bryan Edwards
