Was his knowledge of French an advantage over the English Speaking competitors?

Only if it was held in gay Paris.

Is lesliechow needing a change in diet, a little more Lexapro and a little less vitamins?

A bucket of sleeping pills would do the trick.

I've sent two sitemails (both read) and posted on the thread in the classified forums for World Steinbrenner and still haven't even been acknowledged by the commissioner.  Is expecting some type of response - either yea or nay - or smoke signal too much to ask?

No, I think it's a requirement if you want to be a commish.  Maybe there isn't a spot this season.  But just say so.  That way you know and you may fill an emergency opening or ask to be put on a list for next season.   Right now, you feel like a commish of a world is ignoring you and, with it being so tough to fill worlds, a commish really shouldn't alienate a potential owner.

Are you surprised that so many people apparently don't understand the contact and batting eye ratings?

I picked up Marcel Reece off the waiver wire. Will that pay off for me later? (This is the team where I'm choosing between Jonathan Stewart and Donald Brown every week).

My car stereo suffered a Canadian invasion this morning: April Wine, Triumph, even Saga. Should I have it deported?

Not at all.  You'd be surprised at what people don't understand.

I don't even know who Marcel Reece plays for.

I'd just abandon the car.

um, I thought you were a Raider fan?

Goddam.  He's a fullback.  I never expected anyone to draft a fullback for fantasy football.  I think he's got like 25 touches and a couple of TDs.  So, if you think a guy who get 3 touches a game and TD every 4 games will help you, he might.    He's not Zack Crockett who'll end up with a dozen touchdowns.

Edit:  He's not even Jon Ritchie who'll catch a handful of passes.   The Raiders offense is different than it was 8-10 years ago. 

Mr. Roto thinks otherwise:

Marcel Reece, RB, Raiders (4 percent, $4): On a bye this week, he did nothing against Kansas City and is a fullback. So what am I all excited about again? His talent. Yes, he ended up not getting a lot of work versus the Chiefs, but ultimately, he's one of the best weapons the Raiders have, and I expect they'll spend the bye week figuring out more ways to get him the ball. A wide receiver in college, he is big and fast and is a tough matchup problem, and they love his blocking (meaning he'll be on the field a decent amount). And given Oakland's ability to run the ball well and the injury histories of Darren McFadden and Michael Bush, he's a good bet to see big playing time at some point. And look at that fantasy playoff schedule: at Jacksonville, Denver, Indy and at Kansas City. If you can afford to stash him, I would.

Do you know more than Mr. Roto?

Is Cliff Lee going to get a 7-year deal from the Yankees?
