I don't know if anyone else saw it but a lil bit ago ESPN did there Fantasy Minute they do on SportsCenter and they go through and list the pick ups for that week. They start with running backs and they said the first running back you need to pick up is Samkon Gado!

was it Matthew Berry? Cuz from what I remember he has always been high on Sam. (Almost as high as he is on himself "The Talented Mr. Roto... heh.)

man if you are in the situation where you have to consider picking up Gado, your team must be in some rough shape at the running back...

wow dude...most of the time i have your back...but that is just plain idiotic....Sam Gado has proven he can be a good back in this league when he was with the Packers...he deserves this and is a very quality back....

he's on the DOLPHINS. the whole dolphins team has scored a gigantic total of 23 touchdowns in 13 games. Gado hasn't done anything worth talking about since that 2005 season. a mediocre at best offensive line + one of the worst passing games ever seen + the ravens this week = bad situation for a running back. if anyone of you has played fantasy football before, you know you want guys who are going to score TDs (and the dolphins dont score TDs regardless of who is lining up at RB).

Not if every body is hurt like at the Indy game.
Couldnt watch after 37-7.... in the second quarter

Prediction - The Ravens will lose to Miami

Now if Baltimore won against New England theyd be a lock to lose

the dolphins are terrible this is true...but Sam Gado is much better then you are giving him credit for...I am not saying he is starting material, but he is without a doubt good enough to be a situational back in this league...you know your comments had nothing to do with the Dolphins, you just wanted to take a shot at Gado and LU...and the thing is I have almost always defended you...even when you got banned the first time I said that it was stupid to ban you....but now I am starting to see why....you add nothing to this board and I truly have no idea why you keep coming back...my guess is you live an absolutely pathetic life that you need to get on an LU message board just to feel good about yourself....its so very classy

so how about you just go back to the Lynchburg College message board and do us all a favor....oh wait, thats right....nobody cares about LC....

I think on the right team and with the right coaching staff Samkon has a chance to be an amazing back in the league

oh you sissies, you don't ban a guy just because he's a huge toolbag. You always gotta have one of those guys around.

PS: i'm not the only one who basically says you're desperate if you get Gado. Straight from the news and notes page on Samkon Gado on Yahoo! Sports

"Dec 9 Gado is the Dolphins' No. 1 running back on Sunday against Buffalo after Jesse Chatman was declared inactive with an ankle injury.

Advice: It was reported that Chatman would play despite the injury, but the official word has him out with Gado starting. Gado only had two carries for two yards with Chatman hobbled by the injury in last week's loss to the New York Jets. Gado has 48 yards in 20 carries in four games this season. He has no fantasy value unless he can prove that he belongs in the NFL."

i have no idea who this guy used to be but froma fantasy standpoitn, i completely agree...

if you are needing gado in the playoffs you are in roughshape.

lets be honest here....gado was a non injured ricky williams away from probably not being heard from again...

he had shown signs of decency 2 years ago (a long time ago in nfl terms) and was toiling away in 3rd string/waiver/inactive/practice team hell. he is starting on what could possibly be the worst team in nfl history

i'd love to see him succeed but i also like being somewhat objective.

things like this :
"I think on the right team and with the right coaching staff Samkon has a chance to be an amazing back in the league"
are hilarious

I still don't think we should ban him....banning people because we don't like them is stupid....but I am just beginning to understand why he was banned in the first place

The talk of banning is pointless. Sly is the only person who has to worry about that.
