Woo, Bowe.

Brady got a pretty decent day after a bad start.

Gresham quite outscored his expectations, and even Hillis had a pretty respectable day.

Starting to pull away. Manning’s int got him back down to 12 🙂

Brady scores 2 late TDs to make a 30+ day, sorry I ever doubted him. Bowe gets a TD to tie the game. It’s still fairly close but you’ll need better than projected numbers out of your remaining players. Which should be achievable.

Color me surprised.

To be fair, leading scorer in year one, and then winning year two and three would be pretty epic.

Team of destiny.

Of course it would. For you. 🙂

I do like that you mention your total points for year one, yet the fact you were in the bottom half in total points this season isn’t.

Who wouldn’t? When people list their accomplishments, they typically don’t stop to add caveats and list of failures to make the statements three times as long. I also didn’t mention that I was points leader AND champion in last year’s league, which I could’ve.

My first year was better than this year even if I win - I’ve made my position clear on points scored, fantasy sports skill, and the randomness of head to head matchups. This year is flukey compared to my previous successes. But there’s value in winning a 20 man league anyway. Just not as much as having the best team.

San Diego defense is going to give me negative points unless they can get a defensive return TD or something.

Maclin TD! If only I had started Simpson over Tate, I’d be over 100 already.

I have a 17 point lead and Colston against Hamlet’s Turner and Kasay. This is far from over - Saints WR performance is wildly variable and it’s not that big a lead. Kasay will probably score at least 12, which would mean Colston has to outscore Turner by 5+.

Wish I’d have picked Jerome Simpson over Golden Tate. It was a close gameday call.

SenorBeef defeats Hamlet 108.90 to 92.63. He is our champion for the second year in a row. He also deserves cheesecake, which you should send him.

Most of the comments were about stuff as they were happening in the games, not tooting my own horn. Not my fault that no one else was doing live posting during the game.

And no, I don’t toot my horn enough IMO. I’m pretty awesome.
