656, look at the article that you posted.

It's a FANTASY FOOTBALL SITE AND ARTICLE!

It's not about RB tandems in the NFL.

It's about RB tandems in FANTASY FOOTBALL!

Fantasy pts, not real stats is the focus.

The "writer" is a fantasy guru. He is an NFL dummy!
It's ok with me that you are funning.

The writer had this line in his story: 'In today’s NFL, you have to have at least two good starting caliber RBs to compete; so who are the haves and have nots? Let’s take a look.'

I would say that all four of the Saints RBs would be starters on virtually ANY team in the league. Don't forget that it wasn't long ago Pierre Thomas was rumored to be traded to the Patriots; PT is arguably the best screen-running RB in the league. If the Patriots hadn't take the Saints offer to trade up and get Mark Ingram, he may have been a Patriots as well.

We all know what a tremendous FA acquisiton Sproles has been; without a doubt he has been the best FA signing in Saints history after Drew Brees!

My only knocks against Tusk are the frequency of his injuries and he is as useful on a screen play as an old lady is in a bar fight!

The point that I am trying to make is this:

I am an avid life-long football fan with 15 years of fantasy football experience both online and local, ranging from free re-drafts to online auctions, to higher dollar dynasty. My favorite team is the Seattle Seahawks, they're my hometown team and I've stuck with them through the best of times (2005 Super Bowl season) to the worst of times (anytime Brian Bosworth and Dan McGwire got on the field). I've been a marketing professional, project manager, and client service specialist. I'm a freelance writer, specializing in sports writing, marketin ... View Profile

He is a FANTASY FOOTBALL GEEK!

I casually play fantasy football with my friends. I am not disparaging it.

THE DUDE WHO WROTE THE WORDS THAT ARE UPSETTING YOU IS A FANTASY GEEK!

I'm no one.
Who are you?

I get that.

But what has me pissed off to the heights of pisstivity is in the quote I posted, he says a team needs at least 2 good RBs.

I can't think of a team in the league other than the Saints that do!

And then he puts the Saints at 14?

I watch the NFL & play fantasy football, too. I realize it's a fantasy article, but this guy makes some pretty idiotic observations no matter which perspective you're reading from.

The Cowboys at #3? DeMarco Murray & Felix Jones ... really? I don't want those clowns on my real-life or fantasy team.

Why do these threads even start.

There is a special place in the 7th level of hell for power rankings and those who pay attention to them.
