Sorry Wilson. I’ve been there on the bad end of the “score a huge amounts of points and lose to the highest scorer that week” scenario and it isn’t fun. On the upside, you scored more than Omni and Varlosz COMBINED.

Nice 2-0 start; still need a bit of RB help but at least all my guys are healthy (I own Vick and Charles in two other leagues that play for serious jelly beans…yuck).

I’ll consider all serious offers for RBs for one of my QBs (I have Stafford, Kolb, and Grossman).

Wonder if Ellis will notice he’s still starting the inactive Arian Foster.

It was a judgement call last night. I didn’t really have anyone better than a 50% chance at Foster starting, so though it wasn’t a good move it was intentional.

Hey **Munch** , do you make picks on Showtime’s Inside the NFL beat the experts game? If so, they name-checked you on this week’s show at around the 47 minute mark.

Not really sure why Omni thinks anyone is going to want to spend a second round pick PLUS whatever they trade on Kenny Britt. I wouldn’t draft him in the second even if he _wasn’t_ coming off a blown knee.

Well I think it was a shot in the dark (worthwhile) considering he’s already been dropped.

There was some confusion this week, compounded by my lesser internet presence this season. Short of it is that Torrey Smith is currently a free agent reserved for Weirddave, so don’t anyone sign him.

Sorry, Omni.

If Torrey Smith ends up having a monster year there will be whining.

Why is he reserved for WD? I thought we were using the automatic waivers now.

We are. Dave didn’t get the memo, being banned from the dope and all. He emailed a claim on him to me in a timely manner by the same system we’d been using for the past 7 or 8 years, and he had #1 waiver priority. I’m considering his claim legit, and he won it based on priority.

Well that is disappointing - getting zip from Henderson is sorta understandable, he’s the classic boom/bust guy. But nothing from Finley in a game when Rogers went bonkers? Crazy.

There might be a bit of a log-jam at 3-1…

Okay, that makes sense.

That’s the Green Bay Conundrum - even Rodgers’ passing numbers aren’t big enough to feed all of those talented receivers every week.

The Broncos defense was focused on stopping Finley. The great thing about the Packers is that if you try and take away one of their weapons, they have others who can step up. The WR crew was giving Cobb crap because he was the only WR to not catch a TD pass.

Ten points up going into tonight, I’ve got Clark, **Spiritus** has Freeman… I’m not liking my chances. Looks like another high scoring loss for me.

On the plus side, Cam Newton in the 9th/7th and Darren Sproles in the 11th/9th are looking like great keeper options for next year. Plus maybe Fred Jackson in the 2nd, depending where I draft in that round.

Okay. I stopped paying attention sometime around 42-20.
