Well, maybe. I just realized I’m starting more or less the entire Jaguars offense.

After a slow start, I’ve posted the highest score two weeks in a row and was fewer than 10 off the pace the week before that. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

My team is a mess. I have no business winning this week, and barring 42.5 points from T.O. and a kicker, I’ll steal a victory. My team is probably good enough to sneak into the top eight and compete in the consolation bracket, but I have some choices to make here with the trade deadline looming.

Don’t knock the consolation bracket. That’s a great place to be.

There are three teams which have scored 982 or more points. Three make up the top three teams by record. Guess whose the other one is, which is 5-5? ☹

So, can we retroactively extend the trade deadline? I’ve somehow\* managed to climb my way up to 4th despite the fact that _Brandon Jackson_ is my stud RB. Other luminaries who play Running Back for the Zzzzzzzz include Ricky Williams, Clinton Portis, Jason Snelling, Jonathan Stewart, and an out of work kick returner for Arizona. I desperately need to (have) trade(d) for a RB I can start without embarrassing myself, but when I tried in the weeks leading up to the trade deadline, I was rebuffed with extreme prejudice. “Dwayne Bowe? What would I want with Dwayne Bowe?!” … “Oh no, I couldn’t possibly part with (the likes of) Ryan Matthews; why, I’m offended that you would even suggest such a thing!” … “Mario Manningham? Please. He won’t be getting any playing time.” And so on.

So, yeah, if we could just ignore that whole “deadline” thing so that I could make one tiny little trade, that would be great. Reigning Champion’s Prerogative? Hell, I’d even let \*other \*teams take advantage of it to make their \*own \*trades, 'cause that’s just the kind of nice guy I am. Thanks.

- –\> In truth, I know exactly how: my passing game. Aaron Rodgers (1st among QBs), Roddy White (2nd), Dwayne Bowe (4th), and Greg Jennings (10th), all becoming particularly hot over the last 4 or 5 games.

So let’s see if I understand this. You want to extend the trade deadline because you’re suddenly in contention and you’re mad no one would trade with you before… But had you made the trades you’re mad about then you wouldn’t be in contention now… Is that right?

You’re totally welcome to Ryan Matthews now though

Yes, except for the part about me _actually_ wanting to extend the deadline. At most, it’s the kind of thing where you get drunk and maybe you’re going through some stuff and everyone else has gone home except you and your best friend and you think maybe you want to fool around with him but of course neither of you are gay so your only play is make like you’re joking (or alternately like it’s _this other guy_ you know who was wondering if it makes you gay to get a hummer from another dude) and then you gauge his reaction and go from there except probably unless he grabs you jams his tongue down your throat you’re not going to have the guts to go through with anything.

Sorry, I meant: “No, I was just joking about extending the deadline.”

I’m gonna go with yes. You should probably just make it your Sig and get it over with.
