SILENCE YOU FILTH PILES! Brett Favre ☹ I mean, it was Washington… The worst part was that I was gonna use Orton or Bradford too but I figured I might as well use Favre before he’s taken out to pasture soon. I’m still #1 I think. ---

You need 384 (adjusted) to stay ahead of me, I think. ---

Wish I hadn’t wasted both Philly receivers already. Also tempting to use Vick now, but I have a better time in mind for him, even though he’s gonna top 300 tonight. Perhaps by a decent bit. ---

Cassel was on a nice pace through the first half, and then KC decided to stop having offense. Ugh. I’m looking at my crappiest week. ---

Shooting from the hip here so I may end up changing these picks entirely, but I want to get something down because I might not have a chance later. Orton Hillis Boldin ---

Gonna switch my QB from Orton to Flacco. Ari isn’t as bad against the pass as I thought, and this way I can use both Flacco and Orton against Houston. ---

Ugh, if I use Orton against Houston, I can’t use Vick vs St. Louis, which is is his best matchup left aside from today. Why the hell didn’t I use Vick against Houston last week?
