I’m good with random. ---

I’m good with the random divisions too. Fingers crossed I can hold out for the W this week. ---

Well, I’m starting out this season same as I ended last season, and that’s not a good thing. I’m going to go cry in my pillow about an all-around horrible week 1 now. ---

I started Monday down 70 points and I have a realistic chance to win with Torrey Smith and Phil Dawson. Dawson just missed one though. ---

First place, sons. Well, almost. Court Jesters pipped me with Mike Wallace garbage time production. I went 4-0 overall in SDMB leagues this week, and won in my other (money) league too. _flex_ ---

On a separate note, I need a third wide receiver (actually, I need a second wide receiver so I can make Steve Smith my third). Ronnie Hillman and Lance Dunbar are available. ---

Whodathunkit? Not complaining though…well, a little as I was facing him elsewhere, but I had already lost that game before Monday same as I though I had lost this one. ---

Apologies to the Evil Monkeys, whoever you are. Losing by .25 points sucks ass. Know what’s awesome, though? Winning by .25. Whooooo! ---

Apparently, I am the only guy that played the league pick em game this week. I shame you all with an astounding 6-4 record after Week 1. Or maybe I just shame myself. Meh. ---

> [@Oakminster](#): > > Apparently, I am the only guy that played the league pick em game this week. I shame you all with an astounding 6-4 record after Week 1. Or maybe I just shame myself. Meh. Thursday night games kill me. I used to do that on Sunday morning while scouring the player list for matchup potentials. Now, I just look at my team on Wednesday or Thursday and make a note if I have any players active that I might need to bench/activate, but all my research is still done on Sunday morning. Too late for the Pick 'Em. ---

Now, I just look at my team on Wednesday or Thursday and make a note if I have any players active that I might need to bench/activate, but all my research is still done on Sunday morning. Too late for the Pick 'Em. Same with me. I love the Pick 'Em mini-game but it locks out after the Thursday night game and I always forget about it. I will definitely get a few weeks of play in but I will probably end up forgetting about half the time. ---

Hi, it’s me – the guy who kills all your players by drafting them in Fantasy Football? How ya doing? Having a truly stellar season so far. Although I’m only in two leagues this year, I’m really ahead of the curve when it comes to benching approximately 84% of active NFL players. As of right this nanosecond, I’ve managed to sideline: Tony Romo Dez Bryant Jay Cutler Eric Decker Not a bad start! I’m hopeful I can also put Jason Witten and Carlos Hyde out to pasture for a couple of weeks based on near-successful injuries on Sunday, although I might need to have Witten decapitated to even get him on the “Questionable” report. If you have any requests, let me know – always looking for Waiver Wire victims to help people achieve their 7-9 IRL Football dreams. ---

I accidentally dropped Austin Seferian-Jenkins just now (was using my phone) instead of Jalen Strong. Does anyone object to fixing that? ---

Hey, I need Carlos Hyde. Drop him **NOW** \*! \*Just give me a heads up as to the exact moment so I can pick him up. ---

It’s rare to see a D/ST trade but I’ve got two good ones with Denver and Arizona. I’d like to upgrade at QB. It’ll probably have to be a multi player or 3 team trade to make something like this work, but I will be looking at possible scenarios and if you’ve got trade suggestions, hit me up. ---
