OK, anyone who gives a crap about football, who should I start for my fantasy team this week?
Trent Green (KC) vs. Denver tomorrow, or Matt Hasselbeck (Seattle) vs. Green Bay Monday night?

On the one hand, Green Bay's pass defense is much shittier than Denver's.  On the other, it'll be Hasselbeck's first game back from injury.

Trent Green is still shaking out some cobwebs from his stay on the DL, so I'd go with Hasselbeck.

I would trade them both for McNair or someone similar.

Got to go Hasselbeck, Denver's d is too strong.  Green just came back from the DL last week, and one of these guys is a Super Bowl corterback, on a better team (maybe not playing like it now, though).  Plus, Green is playing a tough divisional rival.

Definitely Hasselbeck.

Why do you have an opinion about American football?

Well, Green held up his end of the bargain by basically not doing anything.

Carlos asked a question, so I did a bit of research on the game and thought Hasselbeck seemed a better option.

Does anyone have the NFL network?  If yes, how was the coverage?

On that subject, does anyone have any kind of League Pass or Direct TV or anything?

I watched a little bit of the game on NFL Network last night.  Seemed pretty run-of-the-mill.  Bryant Gumbel seems a bit rusty as a commentator, though.  He called too much of the game like it was a radio broadcast--"Johnson turns it outside!"  Yes I can SEE THAT, ass.

Jesus Cock I wish I had seen this. Anyway, I'm in first in my family fantasy football league, going into the playoffs. Of course, I drafted Tomlinson, so how fair is that?

I'm pretty happy with the way my season has turned out so far.  I drafted 18th in a leage of 20, but entered the playoffs as the 3 seed.  I've had a pretty inconsistent day, so I really can't figure out if I'll be able to win in round 1 or not.  For instance, Bulger did nothing (thanks, Oakland, for not stopping the run) but I was against Eli Manning who did nothing and threw two picks.

Of course the problem with 20-person leagues is that I'm forced to decide between mediocre starters every week and basically get screwed if someone's #3 never gets thrown to, but that's what makes it "fun," right?

Your drafting of Tomlinson reminds me of 2004, when one guy had Peyton Manning and T.O. on his team.  Steamrolled us all and went undefeated... then in week 16 (playoffs) Owens got hurt and Manning shut it down.  I almost felt sorry for him.

Oh, and it seems that the Law of Defenses is still holding true.  I went with Jacksonville's D instead of Tennessee's today, and of course Tennessee's defense/special teams scored twice on Jacksonville, taking me out of the "low score bonus" points even though the defense didn't technically give those points up...

I hate that rule.

A league of 20? That just doesn't seem fun to me. Also, I've got LT and Frank Gore; Holt, TO, Walker & Ward (although I picked him up after he got hurt); and San Diego's defense. However, I've got Rex Grossman, who has had probably more negative-point games than anyone ever has in fantasy football. Also, he had a -10 point game, which I believe is unprecedented.
