True.  I seldom gamble at all, but when its a friendly bet on a game at a bar.   When it comes to fantasy football or sports gambling in general I try not to involve my favorite team as I am bias and it effects my judgement.

 

I was always told when it comes to gambling stick with the odds, meaning if you bet on a game the home team usually has a slight edge on winning as opposed to the visiting team for example.

 

That is why I said I wouldnt draft Corey Grant, but if the draft is over and you have an empty spot or can cut a guy you dont like then I would do it.  Thinking about it more I guess it would make more sense to wait until he does start to show in a game and then quickly pick him up before the others do but you do take a risk that another person in your league wont take him before you.


You can't coach speed, and it is true that pure speed doesn't always turn into success in the NFL but every now and then a player just shows you something that says he has IT.  This guy should've been drafted in the NFL, and he should've been used more in College.  It works out for the Jaguars as he has fresh legs, and the way he can return, catch & run reminds me of Maurice Jones-Drew too a bit (except that MJD could knock guys over and was a great blocker & better overall).
