This is not shaping up well for me. I need a much bigger lead.

Not going well so far for Stringer either. Oh man, Hamlet/Furt championship would be a shocker.

Are you fucking kidding me? Dennis Pitta, 125 yards, 2 rec TDs.

Furt picked the right week to probably have his highest scoring game of the season.

Looks like I’ll be meeting Stringer after all. The fickle nature of H2H and playoffs.

Gotta admit I’m pulling for \*\*furt \*\*this weekend – partly for the greater glory of the Northeast Corridor Division, and partly because \*\*Beef \*\*would just be \*insufferable \*with a 2nd title under his belt.

And **furt** ’s looking pretty good now, but \*\*Beef \*\*is still totally in it. All he really needs is for Colin Kaepernick to have a bad day, which is not, like, impossible. (And if Ryan Matthews has a good 2nd Half, he might not even need that so much.)

Oh guys, I’d be insufferable either way.

At least I can hope Stringer goes down with me. Plus, if Hamlet actually won something, wtf would he have to talk about?

**Furt** wins! And it’s not looking good for **Stringer**.

Congrats man. Even though I’d probably be heading for the Championship if I had managed to squeak into the playoffs last week.

Now I gotta watch another game with mg stomach in knots. After taking it on the chin in my money league, I’m going to start drinking myself into a stupor, so I’ll apologize in advance for any of my upcoming dickishness.

2.3 points through halftime. I’m back to actually giving a shit. That’s never a good thing for me.

108.65 to 108.10, barring correction, Stringer loses. Suicide watch ordered.

Grrr. I really wanted a win today in the consolation bracket: the difference between the 5th pick and the 8th pick is potentially pretty huge – with the latter, you’re basically in “3rd Round RB” territory, as opposed to a situation where there are still Doug Martins and Cam Newtons and C.J. Spillers available.

I’ve now lost 5 of my last 6 games. My points in those 5 losses: 134, 112, 114, 115, 136. Each of those was (slightly, arguably) an above average performance. Bummer.  
ETA: And while we’re at it, \*\*Ellis \*\*is on the clock. The first four picks will belong to:

1. Ellis Dee
2. RNATB
3. dalej42
4. RetroVertigo

A Frank Gore fumble recovery saved my season!

Congrats to **furt** and **Hamlet** on getting into the Championship Game.

And congrats to the **Justin\_Bailey** who’s going to the Championship Game in the alternate universe where the Seahawks defense doesn’t score 47 points last week.
