Halftime, up by .38 pts. Although it should be 2.38 points, because the scoring log still shows the Baltimore D as allowing 6-13 points, but the Jets have scored 17. So I just need the Jets to score a few more TDs without passing to Keller, getting no turnovers, sacks, or tackles for losses, and not allowing the Ravens to score any extra points or field goals. Oh, and not allowing any return yards. If you excuse me, I have to go vomit. ---

Maybe Yahoo’s not counting the Jets’ defensive touchdown against the Baltimore defense?

I needed Dallas Clark to score over 116 points on Sunday Night Football. He got 3 and I lost by 115. ---

And that’s the game. I guess I can relax about staying undefeated now. ---

Just started watching the game. Add one more Baltimore defensive TD. Hopefully that’ll seal the victory. ---

Yes, I had Sanchez starting this week and he posted -0.84 fantasy points. First time I’ve seen a QB actually score negative fantasy points for a full game. Baltimore D scored 54.50 for IKN. Incredible. ---

I have a four-point lead over Unrelated Siblings going in to the Monday night game: I have Blount & M. Williams still to play, he has Addai and Reggie Wayne (with a rookie QB making his first start I think?). It’s going to be very very close, which is a minor miracle given that my two QBs combined for less than 15 points and Unrelated had a monster game from Forte… ---

So is there anyway to speed up a trade to get it to go through before Sunday? ---

Don’t think so. Non-involved teams have a window to vote against it. Sorry. Assuming it passes muster, you should have the guys available for next week. ---

Well, this is a crazy weekend. I think every team has players playing in tonight’s game, with a few tomorrow too. There’s some big gaps right now, but it’s gonna be down to the wire. ---

Looks like the only undefeated will fall. IKN is up by a point but out-gunned tonight (in number and talent). He has ATL receiver Roddy White vs. GB receiver Greg Jennings and ATL QB Matt Ryan. ---

Right now I down by 53.78 points. My projected points for tomorrow’s game? 53.79 points. All I need is one great return from Hester, and that should do it. In other news, this was the first time that Rodgers didn’t meet his projection. And I think it’s the first time that Big Ben exceeded his. ---

Ugh, 43 points in one game, still not enough. Hester actually had a decent game, but he got totally shut down on the returns and that double-screwed me (for both him and the Bears DST). In other news, it may just be the bye week madness, but this league is starting to get pretty competitive. A lot of close games, and the biggest gap of 48 points was the smallest weekly blowout so far. ---

Ouch! 198 point loss! I guess I did luck out last week when my defense scored over 50 points while B. Wells racked up over 30 points sitting on the bench. ---

I’ll be back at .500 unless the Jets D racks up -50 points. Get the win even with Hightower putting up a donut. Dammit, I know better than to start any Shanahan running back… Still just one game back in the division, it looks like, so still a glimmer of hope… ---

I’ve got about a 15 point lead with Sanchez playing tonight. Think my opponent is done for the week, unless he manages top pick up whoever starts at QB for Miami. He’s got Tebow in the lineup, and Denver had their bye week… ---

Once again, I am looking solid heading into the end of the game and then my opponent’s defense and WR combine to score 94 points and take over the lead. I am totally snake bit in this league. ---

Yeah, I really did not see that coming. Everyone of my Sunday players had failed to meet projections except for McCoy. I got 52 points scored against me by players \* I had traded away.\* I was literally going into that game thinking “I’m just going to watch the game and forget about my fantasy team. I already know I lost.” Then there was a 3 and out. And a receiving touchdown by Hester. And another 3 and out. and it just kept coming. I almost did a backflip when Hester had the return touchdown. ---

> [@AlsoNamedBort](#): > > I almost did a backflip when Hester had the return touchdown. I bet! At this point all I can do is laugh. I looked at the points against, and I have had about 100 points more scored against my team than almost anyone else. I am so far out of it that it has come all the way back around to being funny again. ---

So, I have decided to sell off my team in the hopes of at least having a different bad team to watch march to the end of the season. I think a 0-6 I officially am eliminated from any sort of playoff contention, so this is purely so I keep myself active in the league. I won’t take a bath on any of my players (that isn’t fair to other league members), but some of them are pretty good and I figure every team has holes somewhere. So, if you like Vincent Jackson, or Bradshaw, or Frank Gore, Aaron Hernandez or whoever you think you might need let me know. I want to turn over as many of my players as possible. I am sick of following these guys and losing.
