Funny thing the first month was gold. Eddie Royal was a free agent pickup. I was screwed with Romo because there were no good QB free agents and my backup was lol Jake Delhomme. I had good pickups the last few weeks, Hillis, Quinn, Mewelde Moore and Dustin Keller. But my original draftees were held back. LenDale White was inconsistent and those damn Chargers were turnover machines last year but not so much now.

Overall it was a good year. I'm in the playoffs in more leagues than not, but the two money leagues are win or go home this week.

I sat Chris Johnson for MJD...and lost by 4 points. Hahahahaha...haha...ah...ha.

i sat westbrook in place of ronnie brown and lost in that league by 1 pt. It didnt help that matt cassell got me -14 pts. either.

I started Jay against the faiders instead of drew brees a week ago, and then i started wes welker, ryan grant and winslow last week and all left with injuries- and i lost my first rd bye. So that league is a win this week or go home.

I need some Fugging Glory Dammit!

I destroyed Clay last week.

Thank you Baltimore Raven defense!

Six ESPN leagues, including two with fellow freaks, six playoff berths...1 and 1 on Fleaflicker with Dog's leagues, but 0-2 over at Yahoo...

Seriously, worst year ever for fantasy football!

Tom Brady's backup has back to back games that rival any of the "stud" starters...and you didn't start him...
Fast Willie Parker is actually slow Willie Parker
B-Marsh fools everybody into thinking he will be a 10 catch, 100 yd receiver each game....gets last laugh....
Most of your team becomes an infirmary...
QB's named Matt Ryan can actually beat your team...
Your supposed top rated receiver shoots himself in the leg...moron..
Michael Turner is better than LT...

and it just keeps getting better....

Then you would be one of those guys sitting back making fun of the people
who made fun of you when you picked those players up...

I did manage to pick up Hillis off waivers a few weeks ago and started him over
that no good POS Parker and that paid dividends for me...

sorry bro, parker's a bum-- i didn't take him in any of my eight leagues. . . .

looks like i've got the playoffs locked up (officially or not) in seven of those eight leagues, including first round byes in both of the leagues that offer them. . . . in the eighth league i still have to win this week to get in, but i'm currently holding that last playoff spot-- and that's the league where i spent my first rounder on tom brady and lost the first four weeks. . . .

Screw you too...

Retard.

Money league playoffs.

111-111

2 minutes left. If we tie, we go to the bench, which I'm winning.

All my QB has to do is nothing. So what does he do??? Pick-6.

Final score: 111-109

**** you Romo!

As an extra dagger, this was my wife's money league and she's a huge Cowboys fan.

I struggled with which 3 receivers to start: Marshall, Royal, T.O. & Hines Ward. I sat Royal because I also had Hillis, and I didn't want too many Broncos as I already had 3 Cowboys. Hillis getting hurt didn't help and with catches being a point, how in the hell can Hines Ward have only 1. I'm glad THIS is over but I plan on winning our league dammit.

Sucks that each week I'm near the top 5 in points, but I always seem to be up against someone whos just a bit better in points...........lost so many by just a few points.



PEACE!!!

That sucks. I had that happen earlier in the season...I was leading by two with only Reggie Bush playing (a night game) and he decided to fumble and tie up the score. I figured there was plenty of time left for him to pick up 2 more yards and get the one point I needed to win, but he decided to gain a grand total of 0 yards on his final 3 or 4 carries. The sucky thing is that I think it is going to cost me a playoff spot in that league if I understand how the divisions/making the playoffs works in that league.

However, I am in the playoffs in all 4 of my other leagues and I won 2 playoff matchups this week, I lead by 4 in a two week long playoff matchup, and the playoffs start next week in the other league. A good year overall and hopefully I can win a championship or two.

Round 1 of the fantasy playoffs...I leave more points on my bench than I scored with my starters. Special thanks to Jonathan Stewart, Antonio Bryant, and Kevin Walter for that one. Warrick Dunn appears to have come 1 yard short from allowing me to tie the game, and I lose 99-98 (if my calculations are correct).
