Both Steve (Hernandez’s Hideaway) and I (Miscreant Monkeys) learned a valuable lesson: NEVER bench the high-scoring tight end! ---

I’ve got Brady and Edelman going tonight to start my fantasy week. Also have Ridley in my other league… ---

Oh man. Chicago Bears laying an epic ass whipping on me this week. Down by 140 fantasy points at the moment. Both my RBs got hurt…Lacy got a concussion on his first carry, and is iffy for next week, Bush tweaked the knee again, and did nothing much thereafter. And in a brilliant strategic move, I benched James Jones after he did nothing last week. Naturally, he goes wild this week and puts up 30 points. ☹ ---

I had Eddie Royal riding the pine for his career day with the Chargers. ---

Another week, another loss for my Darnassus Druids. Only about 20 points this time, though. Not sure what I’ll do for RBs. Green Bay has a bye, so Lacy or Starks are not available. Bush is iffy again. He says he’s going to play. Ivory has issues. May have to grab another warm body off the waiver wire and hope for the best… ---

Argh… I wasn’t going to play Daryl Richardson, then I heard the news that Isiah Pead was out so I put him back in. Terrible mistake. ---

This just in: Miscreant Monkeys can’t find own ass with both hands and a map; Phoenix Redbirds kindly hand it back to them. ---

Sure am lucky I started Brian Hoyer. I could be losing by 82 points. Instead of just 80. :mad: ☹ :smack::smack::smack: ---

Barring stat corrections, I stole a win on that last Atlanta drive. Matty Ice threw that last TD to put me over the top. ---

Woo hoo!!! The party just keeps getting better! So now my only relatively A player is done for the year! So not only does my fantasy football team suck, but now the Falcons have a legitimate chance at 1 - 15! Bad enough losing to the 'aints twice in one year they could also lose to the effing Panthers!
