Can anyone defend Austria when being attacked by Italy, Russia and Turkey?
Can anyone defend the idea that a "power" can produce a better situation for Austria by diminishing the attackers' SC control in exchange for increased unexpected imposition of diplomatic pressure on the attackers?

Can anybody defend stealing from the wealthy
Something that has always confused me is why people say taxing the wealthy is fair. How can one justify governments taking quadruple the money on those who earn twice as much as the middle class? How is it fair?

P. Hillis
A. Foster
C. Johnson
M. Ryan

Darwyn keep Foster. He is a boss. But Texans are known for not being consistent.

I'd have gone with Matt Ryan. The talk is that Chris Johnson isn't going to have as great a season as he had last year because everyone's going to plan for him much like they did Adrian Peterson. Johnson's a good sleeper if he does well in opening games but he might not. Ryan's consistent and I'd even pair him up with one of his receivers because if Ryan does well then so are the guys he's passing to.

I'm also ready for the new season. Everyone projects my Broncos to go 4-12 this season and last in their division but I'm eager to see who's going to be behind center, how our new players work out from the draft and if Fox is going to put together a good team this season or flub it up like McDaniels.

+1 Alderian. I'm tired of having Sports Center bogged down during the 5 months of regular season football by baseball and basketball crap. Football is around for 16 short regular games and just a month of post season play and you have to talk about the hundreds of games in baseball and basketball? geez

Texans had a good year last year.
I can see Detroit grabbing a wildcard, but floundering in the playoffs...

Let's talk 'bout dem STEELERS! Full veteran squad, no coaching changes... they have a huuuuge advantage over all the other teams with changes (like 90% of them) and even vet teams like Baltimore that is dropping their veterans right and left!
Jynx (100 D)

At first glance. Johnson. Upon further review, Foster. I think he has a bigger upside this year.

I think the Steelers need to jettison a few people too, their money's a little tight.
Foster, but we really can't answer without knowing your scoring system and your other players. If you dump Ryan, who is your QB? If you keep Ryan, who is your RB?

"How 'bout them Detroit Lions? Going to the playoffs this year? "

I am drinking the kool-aid and eatin' the corn bread. Lions will make the playoffs. Been a Lions fan forever...

Hanged Man - scoring is standard and this is a one man keeper. I can keep one player from last year and those listed are my best. I'd be drafting anew for the rest.

So, 3 Fosters and a maybe on Megatron. I like Foster, but I wondered about P. Hillis as well. Dudes a beast who can catch and run in the open field and Cleveland's O-line is one of the best in the league. I like Megatron as well...see above. :)

From an ADP standpoint, Foster is the best choice.
fortknox (2059 D)
27 Jul 11 UTC
Keep in mind that Hillis has to face the Ravens and Steelers defenses twice each. That's 4 games he won't be getting many yards...
Lions are loaded with young talent, but I'm still waiting to see Stafford make it through a full season. I root for Jahvid and Zack Follett.

You know Hillis is on the Madden cover, right?
fortknox (2059 D)
27 Jul 11 UTC
Hillis is on the cover because of fan vote... unless you are saying the madden curse... but the dude IS on the browns. How much more of a curse can he have? ;)
SacredDigits (102 D)

I still remember Braylon Edwards' speech when he was traded to the Jets.

Paraphrased.

"Well, I was in Cleveland because I got drafted by Cleveland, but nobody really wants to go here. Bernie Kosar, he's the only one. Ever. I'm happy they gave me an opportunity, and I'm happy that they liked me enough to sign me, but I'm happier still that I'm leaving."
Putin33 (111 D)
27 Jul 11 UTC
The Jets are a good fit for him. Their coaches deliberately trip opposing players, their fans harangue women to take off their tops at games, and they don't seem to mind if you're a drunken buffoon or dodge drug tests.
I did mean the Madden curse.

This is all you need to hear to know that Cleveland is cursed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WzvgYHhrp0

Drunken Diplomacy
I'd like to set up a live game for alcoholics at some point in the future. Every time you gain or lose a SC, you take a shot. Every time the year changes, you take a shot. Every time a nation is eliminated, you chug. The idea is that as the war goes on, you become more and more "drunk" with power... only for real.
