Ah fuck.

I should've remembered:

"Always bet on black."

McNabb having a career day on my bench.

[Paelos]

My team suck-diddly-ucks. Also, up yours Tom Brady.

[shiznitz]

I don't think I have ever had a winnless FFL season. There is always a first time.

[HaemishM]

FUCK. FUCK YOU, LARRY JOHNSON, YOU HOLDOUT PIECE OF SHIT!

Fucking asshole. Manages to squeeze a total of 26 goddamn points out of 3 games because he isn't getting paid enough. Fuck you, shitbag.

Who the hell knew Green Bay would have such a great day against the Chargers D? Not me, I tell you. I expected Favre to throw at least one pick, but no, he kicks ass. That was a good game to watch for Packers fans like me. James Jones is going to be a stud by this time next year. I still am not sure about the Green Bay running game, but damn if they aren't playing a run and gun style offense that's working. They may come crashing to earth when they play the Bears, but based on the Bears shitty performance against the Cowboys, I'm not so sure. Favre is at least as good as Romo these days, and he has experience. Romo just sliced the Bears to bits. Also, Rex Grossman still sucks. Not exactly breaking news.

And who expected the Giants defense to show up this week? Thankfully Portis had a great first half. I still need Brees to have a 40 point game tonight to have any chance of winning.

I wouldn't lay all the blame on LJ's shoulders. That line (and the team as a whole) is fucking terrible. Herm Edwards is a donkey.

Went to the Bengals/Hawks game yesterday. My voice is just about gone today. Good times.

That game was pretty fun to watch. Helped that the guy I was watching it with was against me this week in FF. I had Housh and Hasselbeck, and he had Chad and Alexander. I won ;)

While this is all true, it still can't be underestimated just how much missing every bit of camp has affected LJ. I mean, there haven't been significant changes in that O-Line from last year, have there? AFAIK, only Trent Green was the major subtraction from KC, which shouldn't really affect LJ at all.

[Rasix]

Westbrook and Ronnie Brown really put down the hurt this week. I should end up winning by 50 in a week where my WR tandem scores an awesome 4 points.

IIRC they lost a couple of vets to retirement (Shields and someone else). Or was that last year?

I was going through my lineups like Thursday night and TJ was questionable. I decided to sit him, which in turn caused him to have a big day. So, you're welcome. I should know better than to reverse curse a Seahawks opponent. Now, to comb the waiver wires for some SF guys to play this week..

[Paelos]

Lee Evans has 5 points.

FIVE!

FOR THE WHOLE SEASON!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

[HaemishM]

Stop bitching. My fucking QB has scored 19 points all season. Brees is killing me. I have to play TRENT FUCKING GREEN next week because Brees is on bye and Leinart is in some kind of bizarro QB rotation. WTF?

[Rasix]

#1 in both leagues  :-D  Of course that won't last with Andre Johnson hurt.  :-(

Glad I'm not a Steven Jackson owner.

You're up against me with Reggie Bush on a bye. It should be interesting.

[murdoc]

Glad I'm not a Steven Jackson owner. 

I got him in two leagues. My 1-2 punch of Jackson and Jones-Drew has been an epic failure so far, and I don't see any reason to think that it's going to turn around.

[HaemishM]

I'm surprised about Jones-Drew. I expected him to pick up decent points. Even Fred Taylor is pissing points away, with only 17. How are they 2-1? Oh right, easy schedule so far.

Jones-Drew may be worth a good bit later in the year, when Taylor sprains his labia.

[Cuppycake]

My team rocks.

Favre + Moss + Westbrook has scored me big. =)

[HaemishM]

Stephen Jackson out this Sunday with a partial groin tear. OWCH. Oh and Bulger is playing with 2 broken ribs.

And goddamnit, Hines Ward is doubtful, meaning my chances this week just dipped again.

[shiznitz]

Six teams - HALF of the league - will be 1-3 after tonight. Awful.

[Paelos]

That was a step up for me thank you very much. I'll still manage to pull off close to 100 points this week with both Reggie Bush and Rudi Johnson out of their games.

[trotski]

If anyone happens to find Cadillac's kneecap, can you plz return it ASAP? My future rests on Michael Pittman. 

[shiznitz]

Maroney benched at the 11th hour so my prediction was not to be. Thought I would squeak out a win.

[Sauced]

Another big day for Moss (I'll reserve the I-told-you-so's for fear of karmic retribution) keeps me afloat another week.  Not the most fun fantasy season I've ever had, though, in either of my leagues.

[MrHat]

In light of my 42 total point performance, I have changed my name to "Status Questionable".

Stupid fucking last minute bullshit.

Also, as a Denver fan: "Shanahan should die in a football bus fire".

[Paelos]

What an awful fantasy football week. Look at those numbers. Nobody is going to crack 100 points this week. Hell, my QB actually COST me points this week, and it's been a long time since one of my QBs went into the negs before.

[Rasix]

Both of my teams are in the goddamned shitter.  This league has both of my WR's hurt, my top RB hurt, and my QB playing like a school girl.  Other league has a WR hurt, a non existant WR/RB slot, and an underachieving QB along with a bench that never materialized.   Ohh and both of my defenses have gone from decent to crap. 

SAD FACE.

[HaemishM]

Fucking Packers. I just have to say that for the way they shit the bed last night.

I'm done with Drew Fucking Brees. Fuck him. He's gone. Somebody want him, they can find his punk ass on the trash heap. Other than that, it was an ok week for me in this league, thanks to my opponent losing Santana Moss completely to injury.

[shiznitz]

I still have a chance if Dallas can come up big on defense. Right...

[Phildo]

My whole team played, so I don't feel too bad about this week.  I'll take whatever win I can get at this point.

[HaemishM]

I still have a chance if Dallas can come up big on defense. Right...

Unfortunately, that's a distinct possibility. They are playing Buffalo, after all. But I'm hoping Dallas' kicker gives me enough points to keep me ahead.

[Murgos]

I need Tony Romo to make 1 point.  Here's hoping he doesn't break something on the 1st play.

edit: and also Marion Barber to score > 12 for my other league.

[Rasix]

I won't say anything.  Last time I wished physical harm on a player here, Deuce was gone for the season.

Ohh god, my kicker outscored everyone on my team with the exception of Ronnie Brown.  SAD.

[HaemishM]

Speaking of Tony Romo, who watched the Packers' game last night? I watched it on Tivo, which meant I fast-forwarded through all the dead time between plays and such. And yet, by about the 4th quarter, I was ready to strangle John Madden with his intestines if he said the name TONY FUCKING ROMO one more goddamn time. For fuck's sake, enough already. He's had a good run, on a team with lots of offensive weapons in a SHITTY conference and shitty division. He's not Peyton Manning, he's not Tom Brady, he's not even the next Brett Favre. I look forward to him getting dickstomped, probably by New England in the very near future. Madden just kept on and on gushing about Romo and comparing FAVRE to ROMO as if Romo was the soon-to-be Hall of Famer. I swear, Madden had a boner for Romo the size of Texas.

[Zetleft]

As well he should.

[Murgos]

He's not Peyton Manning, he's not Tom Brady, he's not even the next Brett Favre.

I'm not even sure Brady is the next Brett Favre.  Favre has managed to win games on his own with pretty much little help from the rest of the offense, carrying the Pack to the playoffs on the speed of his hustle.  Brady has never had to play under those conditions.

[Sauced]

Apropos of nothing, as I was tortured by Madden's Farve-Fellating all night, but they were "having fun" with a "joke" that Urlacher made, when asked to describe Farve.  He called him an "old Tony Romo".
