Just came across something that has enlightened me:
Fantasy football is like dungeons and dragons for jocks.

Now Ponder.

I can't disagree...except that I'm a nerd, not a jock. :) How many jocks do you know that can program in +3 languages?

i wish i was a computer wiz. but i actually think me not knowing to much is a good thing. ill do all kinds of bad stuff :). i just know enough to get by

ESPN is weird. I noticed some scoring discrepancies yesterday...like it gave me 2pts for the Bears' blocked punt/TD near the beginning of the game when it should have given me 6. I noticed my opponent's score randomly jumped 6 points at one point yesterday when no one was playing. I think they were just fixing errors. When I woke up this morning & checked, the Bears defense score had been adjusted correctly. So I'm ahead 123-91. He has McNabb playing tonight & I have Dallas' kicker playing. It's a 32 point spread, so I'm hoping my kicker does well and McNabb...well, I hope he has a great game. It shouldn't matter if I get a few points from my kicker. At 123 points, I already have the league's highest score of the season in a single game. I'm pulling for the Eagles tonight.

Thanks for the tip about Eli. If I win this week, that will probably be the reason why. Anthony Gonzalez won a starting position for next week on a side note.

no problem, just be sure to not play names but play matchups. i have the second highest total scores for each week without any running back support at all. the highest total so far is 164 and he still has brian westbrook to play tonight. im lucky i beat that guy last week though

Today or tomorrow I'm going to start trying to make some trades and picking up a few people. I looked at the schedule for the rest of the season and because of byes, I will have a few holes at bad times.

MONSTAFACE 09-15-2008 03:00 PM

yeah i dont know if i should make any trades. the thing is my running backs aint doing shit but its only a matter of time before they do. LT didnt do shit at the beginning of last season either then wound up getting 15 touchdowns. so im gonna stick it out im just gonna have to really stratergize who i play

MONSTAFACE 09-15-2008 08:17 PM

i hate the fuckin cowboys and all their fans, and i just lost my fantasy game by a touchdown because of them. i am so fuckin pissed!!!! i swear if anyone says anything to me about this game tomorrow i will beat the living shit out of them and i dont care about getting fired

Pittman has been getting most of the goal line carries for the Broncos. They're playing the Saints, who apparently have 26th ranked rush defense in the league.

Next week I'll be missing Plaxico & Eli. Ben & Willie will be playing the Ravens. I picked up Delhomme for next week because Steve Smith is back now, so he can make Jake look good again. Dwayne Bowe is getting a lot of opportunities....he should pull a solid 10pts or so. Vincent Jackson will be playing against the Raiders...enough said. Not sure whether I'll play him or not though. I'm playing the #1 guy in the league next week, so I'm a little worried.
