So I got Roethlisberger as my quarterback. This season, we can be Steelers fans together.
I’ve been working on the chant: “I’m thinking that Pittsburgh’s goin’ to the Super Bowl!”
(My heart will still belong to Tebow, though.)
Anyway, consider this an open thread in which to brag about your QBs, your WRs, your RBs, and especially your TEs.

So I’ve got Roethlisberger as my QB, Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas as my WRs (I’m told that I’m screwing myself because they’re both Denver WRs… but they’re both getting thrown to by Manning!!!), Marshawn Lynch as my RB, Jared Cook is my TE, and I’ve got Jamaal Charles as my W/R/T which is under advisement from Fish, my Kansas City fan friend.
Sebastian Janikowski is my kicker! GO RAIDERS!!!
And I have San Francisco and Arizona as my defensive teams. I’m tempted to bench San Fran this week and play Arizona because San Fran is playing against Green Bay and Arizona is playing against the Seahawks. A co-worker told me that it’s better to pick and choose defenses from the pool depending on the week than to go with your defense all season unless you’ve got Baltimore or something. So I’m going to try that, unless I just really screwed myself by saying that in a place where everybody else can read it too.Report
Jay, you know you need to do something with that roster spot Jabar Gaffney is wasting, right? Or are you hoping he makes the team in Miami? Your friend is right; Jamaal Charles ought to be a nice catch.
As for my team, Drew Brees, Malcom Floyd, Santonio Holmes, Adrian Peterson, and Jermichael Finley are a pretty strong front five. Now, if you’re not planning on using Plaxico Burress or Justin Blackmon any time soon, Mr. Jaybird, why don’tcha take a look through my running backs and let me know if there’s someone you like?
And I think the marquee matchup this week is between the Not-so-Gentlewomen and the Partisan Warriors. The NSG’s are bringing Philip Rivers, Victor “Salsa Dancer” Cruz, Calvin “Megatron” Johnson and the formidable Houston Defense, against the PW’s similarly-impressive hookup of Tom Brady and Aaron Hernandez, and Alex Henery, who I’m looking at having a big year given Mike Vick’s perennial fragility. My pick is the Not-so-Gentlewomen, but this ought to be a lot of fun.
…And if you never say “Go Raiders” again, it’ll still be too soon. You’re classier than that, man.Report
I’m pretty sure that Gaffney will be picked up by *SOMEBODY*. He’s a great player to have in week 3. He’s due.Report

Oh, my gosh. That’s so premature. He had the best voice for cartoons ever, he had the best Kingpin ever, and he was a damn fine screen presence in general.

Yeah. Whenever we dare to not remember how short can be, we will be reminded one way or the other.Report
