With those standings, you should have stayed busy.

Ugh. I’m only beating a team made from scraps by .2 points. Now is my time to shine!

Aaron Rodgers and Sidney Rice really did my team a solid.

I’m thinking of trying to become a moderator, just so I can delete this thread.

Hmm, so remaining players:

Ellis Dee:  
Sidney Rice  
Garett Hartley  
Jets

SenorBeef  
Brees  
Pierre Thomas  
Colston

Hamlet  
Manning  
Peterson  
Wayne

RNATB  
Thomas Jones  
Meachem  
Clark  
Feely

dalej42  
Shiancoe

Omniscient  
Addai  
Garcon  
Harvin  
Longwell  
Colts

It’s a pretty close game aside from Ellis Dee, and everyone still has a shot.

I really thought I had the best team, but I went 1 for 4 in my wildcard weekend picks and most of my team ate it early. Investing in New Orleans was correct IMO but the Pierre Thomas thing is still screwing me like it did in the regular season - hey’ll run it to the 1 inch line next to the goal and then get replaced by some hobo from off the street to score the actual TD.

Yeah, that got me in the Playoff Challenge. I went all Saints, except for stupidly holding onto Marion Barber just because his score was doubled by carryover. But even if I’d put in Thomas instead, who the fuck was that they gave the rushing touchdown to? Never heard of that guy before.

He won a pre-game raffle to become the Saint’s goal-line back. “Will the lucky winner in Section 427, Row 8, Seat 2 come down to get fitted for your helmet?”

Yeah, you’re the clear favorite, but Hamlet has rebounded in impressive fashion. I’ll almost certainly finish third.
