sadly it's true, it's 2.5 miles into the town and even there it's just GPRS so not quick!

Adam, I am sitting on the feed here waiting.

:pac::Heli

Glad I am not a Commish and getting all this grief

madalig12 · 07-09-2012 4:20pm

Berty, is it true you are going to try a trade for Tebow if you miss out on the Jets?

helimachoptor · 07-09-2012 4:22pm

Berty... with the PFL stuff.. i'd say lads are happy that they run the irish one!!

Tebow is absolutely brilliant in this years game IMO.

How do you know I did not get them ? Ok who has been telling tales about the draft. I am shocked and stunned at this reveal. Commissioner, I demand an investigation or a full reveal on Twitter immediately !

I actually have Timmy in another Franchise with the Jets. He is actually ok and I have been toying with playing him over Sanchez. The only problem is that with Connected Careers I will only be able to pour my XP into developing one QB so I might trade him or Sanchez.

I'll give you my backup punter and 2029 seventh round pick for sanchez.

helimachoptor · 07-09-2012 4:35pm

Lads... I picked the Titans/Chargers for my top 2.

Chargers were a curve ball, I'd a couple of quick games and the Rivers/Gates axis really impressed me.

However I am a Titans (and Hawks) fan so I plumped for them for a few reasons.

1 - C2J he can be deadly and the the Titans o-line looks very good this year (barring Centre)
2- The cap space is there to improve Centre and give C2J a blocking FB
3- Kenny Britt is a fantastic receiver and I am really going to try and use my WRs a lot more in this game.
4 Jared Cook Jr I play a lot with him, I did trade him away to Santry last year but I'll be keeping him and perhaps trying to get him a tandem TE
5 QB Pretty happy with both players still toying with who to start with. Locker is the betetr option long term so it may be worth the short term pain to get him advanced quicker.
6 Defense is good but could use some assistance at DE and OLB, CBs will stay the same as I'd like them to progress.

Now honestly that will be a surprise! In all honestly lads I've no idea who I got, I'm assuming I got the titans due to my pick and the fact that they aren't that good with a lot better teams available to pick.

Santry Raoul I'm running out or coverage.. Put us out of our misery!!!

Paully D · 07-09-2012 6:21pm

Here's Heli trying to get coverage:

helimachoptor · 07-09-2012 6:31pm

Paully that's not far off reality. In good weather I'll have coverage in the house but only at the end of the house facing the town. In bad weather with rain fade there's nothing it's bonkers.
