Eh, i dont mind it. Its nice to kind of relax one weekend and check out some of the other games.

Why not just everyone take week 9 off like the all star break in baseball?

It does mess up the FF team, ha.

You should never be a fantasy football homer.....

I have Witten and was hoping for secret plays. Could have had Celek for nothing or went with K2.

different bye weeks for different teams... overall a ****ing stupid idea that makes zero sense

like someone said, have a break in the middle of the season for everyone

I hate the bye-week because that's when this Cowboys team practices best - when there is no game that counts on the weekend schedule.

Why does everyone think that by-weeks are designed to give players any needed rest. The only purpose for a by-week is to add an extra week to the TV schedule, which translates into millions of doolars in network revenue for the NFL. Those dollars are lost when all teams have the same day off becuase there are not TV ratings and elated revenue to draw; but if some teams are off and others play then fans of a team that is off often end up watching other games, which contributes to incremental ratings and revenue.

I hate it when someone pays me in doolars. The exchange rate sucks.

I guess in the future I will do well to assume everyone out there is a money-hungry corporate ***** (as is usually the case)

Hey, there is always the UFL on Versus................:lmao:

I was flipping through the channels the other night and saw the game.....I think there was almost 2,000 people at the game.

One team had the two headed RB monster of Micheal Pittman and Tatum Bell.

Brooks Bollinger was one QB and the other team it was JP Losman. It was pretty bad looking FB
