Hey! Enough with the fist shaking. 😉 At least you’re not floating near the bottom, again. You try saving money and starting Drew Brees and Brett Favre, and look what it gets you. No wonder Reuben Droughns was so cheap. I have to agree, **Airman** won’t catch anybody- the Steelers are not good fantasy picks (except for the defense.) They give the ball to different people- ask all the Duce Staley owners after the first few weeks this year. ---

If you think Reuben Droughns was cheap you shoulda checked out Tatum Bell. I got that guy for a song. Of course with the elimination of Denver and San Diego, I have exactly three active players left on my roster. This will require some work. But I’m fine flaming out after week 1. Hey, I was 350/114,000 nationally this week. When you’re at the top, there’s nowhere to go but down. Hey, quit pulling on my legs. I don’t need any help, dammit! ---

Yup, I grabbed Bell as well. 60ish yards and a TD for half a mil? You betcha! But I was banking on the Bolts winning, so I could keep Brees in for at least another week, and trade Martin in for Westbrook. That didn’t work out so well. Stupid real games… ---

> [@Airman Doors](#): > > Ha, bitches! I got league high this week. Crow is on the menu this week, gentlemen. Uh, no you didn’t. You beat me by a point, and the T. Brown All Stars bested you by 467 points. The Cheesy Poofs also beat you by 105. But you’re in a good position right now, with some cash to spend and trades to do it with. It’ll be an interesting finish. Even at 2nd place, I don’t think I have much climbing left in me. ---

I left for a conference in Las Vegas in the middle of last week and just got back. I didn’t get a chance to set my roster for this week. Heck, I wasn’t even able to watch any of the games this weekend, except for the last half hour of the Jets vs Steelers (at least I picked the right time to tune into that one!) ---

Even at 2nd place, I don’t think I have much climbing left in me. Ah, when I said that they hadn’t updated the late game yet. I’m surprised it took them so long. Anyway, I’m very flush and most of you guys are tapped out. I’m on the prowl. ---

I guess I kinda spaced out last week. I began the trading process, but that website is even slower the the SDMB on a hamster hunger strike kind of day. I put it off untill later. Which ended up beeing a little too late I guess. ---

I made a stupid mistake. I thought that I could put in a TE for a WR, but you can’t and I used up my last trade to do that, so my roster is invalid for the rest of the pool, even though I still have players that are active. ---

No, I think I’ll kept mine hung low in abject humiliation, thanks. Second-to-last place, but no trades left and no horses in this race. Last place still has seven trades remaining, so it would seem I’ll be finishing this one 'Niners-style. ☹ ---

Congratulations, **G.O.**! Since I finished second, I think that means if you are unable to fulfill the requirements of being the winner, I get to have the crown. So I am going to root for you to pose naked in Penthouse!!!
