I’m afraid I’m going to have to officially drop out of this year’s competition. I just signed up for way too many fantasy leagues this year, which isn’t \*too \*much of a time suck in and of itself, but apparently there’s a tipping point around that 5th or 6th league, that, for me, turns the whole endeavor into more of a chore than a fun game, and I just find myself scrambling to get everything done each week, and unable to pay sufficient attention to each league (as far as scouting out trades, being really pro-active on the waiver wire, etc.). It’s pretty frustrating. Anyway, I’m sorry. ---

Well that sucks Varlos, I know your connection has been spotty lately. Maybe next year. Hasselbeck is looking like a 200-225 yarder today because Tennessee got up too much too fast, damn. ---
