Tailgate Trades

With the Rockies in the World Series, college and pro football in full swing, and the new season of Dancing With the Stars going strong, it is likely you will be spending some quality guy time soon.

And quality guy team inevitably includes a few brews.

That's a good thing normally, but as Brad Evans from Yahoo Fantasy Sports writes, "inevitably, hanging out for ten-plus hours with owners from my local 12-team keeper league will lead to numerous trade discussions."

This can be a good thing, but it could also be dangerous. Here's Evans' advice for discussing trades while consuming adult beverages.

My favorite part:

"Have an attitude that mixes the hubris of Bill Belichick with the tearful compassion of Dick Vermeil." Good luck with that.

By the way, my money players for Week 8 include Ben Roethlisberger against a swiss-cheese Bengals defense, Plaxico Burress against a Dolphins team ready to fold, and the Cleveland defense, which matches up against St. Louis, the league's most turnover-prone team.
