    Dude. Try managing one team. It's more fulfilling and you can focus on it. And when you watch the games you don't lose track of who needs to do good and who you need to not do good.

    That blows.... I have Orton and Rivers, but now I know for sure who not to start. My playoffs start this week. I got Moreno though, he has been solid for me as of late. I got hackeem nicks, my biggest fear with his leg injury was that he would not come back at 100%, but he scored good on my bench this week, so I seem to be set with Calvin Johnson, Roddy White and him.

    Didn't you win like almost all your leagues last year?

    “When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”

    you must be joking. . . i gotta have five or six teams. . . having one isn't more fulfilling in any way, and i can focus on six or seven just fine. . . come on, they're not children-- they don't require a ton of attention. . .

    and i don't need to track that shit in my head from minute to minute-- that's what the internet is for. . .

    hell, i run three different leagues. . .

    Missed out on my regular season championship by one point last night... Looked like I had it locked up until the Ravens defense decided to let Schaub put up like 20 points in the last 10 minutes.

    I just needed Baltimore to make a stop at any point in the 4th qtr... Even after Baltimore choked all night, the guy would have lost by one point if Baltimore stopped Houston from getting their 2 point conversion... But no, the world is against me, the guy squeaks out a 97-97 tie and finishes with one more win than me (even though I have the most points in the league).

    I knew the fantasy gods hated me when I ended up playing Mike Vick in both of my leagues earlier this year on the night where he set a record for most fantasy points.

    Well, you didn't mention that you won it last year because you KICKED me out!

    In my five leagues, I made it to the playoffs in all five (2 started playoffs this past weekend, the other three start this week).

    My seeding in the five leagues are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6

    I won my game as the 4 seed handily, and tied the game as the 6th seed. Not sure how, but Missy (North's Missy) and I tied at 300 points a piece, and some how I advanced, even though she had beat me in our only head to head meeting in the season, which I figured would be the tie breaker.

    I was only dominant in one league, but have been in the playoff hunt most of the year in the others.

    I'm in the semifinals in my cash league and I have a TOUGH matchup. It could honestly go either way.

    My team:

    QB: Vick
    WR: Coltson/Lloyd/Mike Thomas (might go Mike Williams (SEA) if healthy)
    RB: Chris Johnson/Bradshaw/Blount
    TE: V. Davis
    K: Bryant
    DEF: Philly or New Orleans

    His team:

    QB: Kitna
    WR: Woodhead/Branch/Bennett
    RB: Mendenhall/Rice/Jones-Drew
    TE: Tamme
    K: Carpenter
    DEF: Seattle

    His RBs are absolutely disgusting and the way our league scores, RBs who get alot of carries pile up huge points (point per carry). I'm installed as a 3 point favorite, but I will be somewhat surprised if I win.

    unfortunately only one of them is for money-- my team in that league is looking pretty good, although i have a tough matchup against the top seed this week. . .

    I do two money leagues, and then 3-4 extra ESPN leagues that I don't really care about and use as draft warm-ups for my real leagues...

    Any more than two and it starts to get too convoluted I think.

    I need EVERYONE TO SEND OUT THE HEALING PRAYING VIBES FOR AARON RODGERS!!!!

    I have Aaron as my QB in my biggest money league. Had a first round bye last week, but this week is it. My back up QB is Orton--(so I am screwed if Aaron does not heal from his concussion and play)


    Please people I need this money. Send out the healing vibes to him.



    THis is the team I am playing against-not as strong as mine so I have a good shot. But I need Rodgers!

    eli manning vs PHI
    Fred Jax vs MIA
    Chester taylor VS MIN
    Miles Austin vs Was
    crabtree vs SD
    garcon vs JAX
    Shockey vs Bal
    akers vs NYG
    Steelers d vs NYJ
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    Dear Fantasy Football gods, we pray to you today for Aaron Rodgers and U29. As you know, not only is it Football Season, it is December, which makes it the Christmas Season; not to mention Hanukkah, Ramadan, Winter Solstice, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, Tiger Woods' birthday, and Chocolate Covered Anything Day, among other many other celebrations. Oh FF gods, we ask you, in U29's behalf, to bless Aaron Rodgers! Heal him, oh gods! U29 REALLY needs the money for these special times. Aaron probably wouldn't mind feeling better himself either. We all know, oh FF gods, that you have stricken the Denver Broncos with pestilence (AMEN!) with famine (oh yes!) and the most porous offensive line the Broncos have ever seen (please have mercy!)! U29 cannot fight you, FF gods, on this. We lowly Bronco fans can see that Orton is stricken down, and will not pay off for any Fantasy team the rest of this year (no sir!). So, we pray for mercy on U29 (amen!). Heal Aaron Rodgers! (oh yes!) And Bless Underrated29 with an abundance of money so he may spread the wealth with us, his fellow fans!!! In John Elway's name, amen.



    (I hope this is not offensive to anyone, it was all meant in good fun!)
