Nah dude I’d be pissed if I were you, I’m not trying to be a dick. ---

Ah, I thought you might be mocking me because I’ve mentioned the big league year 1 a bunch of times, where I was the top scorer out of 20 people but had an absurd number of points against. Like 10 different people had their year-high score against me. The top scores against were like 1750, 1450, 1430, 1390 or something crazy like that. And I finished 15th out of 20th with a 5-8 record but the top score. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > I’m not sure if that’s meant to mock me or not. Seems like a legit gripe. Of course it’s a legit gripe. I mean, I thought it was bad last year when I finished 6-8 after having the third highest Points For (I also got blasted with the third most Points Against). ---

Well, I’m starting Rodgers, Nelson, James Fucking Jones, Starks, and Finley. That’s almost the entire Packers offense. As the Packers go, so will I. ---

Damn, all the Packers offense is running through Jennings, and John Kuhn has a touchdown. Covering 85% of the Packers offense isn’t working this week so far. ---

I was sort of keeping pace with RetroVertigo until… well, until that play. You better come up huge this week, Robert Meachem. ---

_sigh_. After a nice draft and an OK start, I’m being reminded of why fantasy football sucks so fucking hard. Beanie goes out in the second quarter, Ernest Graham gets injured in the first quarter. Two fucking running backs, done before halftime. At least in real football, coaches have the opportunity to use their bench. Sometimes I fucking hate this shit. ---

Varlos has a 6 point lead and the Ravens D to play against Hamlet’s Cundiff. RNATB needs 3 points out of Boldin and Meachem to beat Retrovertigo. Justin Baley has a 23 point lead, Gabbert, and Saints D against Isotope’s Flacco and Dickson. Ellis Dee has a 50 point lead and Pierre Thomas against Dale’s Brees, Ingram, Ricky Williams, and Vinatieri. ---

Nearly a third of my fucking roster don’t finish their games. Next year, I’m playing fucking fantasy origami. ---

It’s funny how things change. Last week I score 135 points and think I have an overabundance of RBs. This week everyone’s on byes. The only decent RB I can start is McFadden and he leaves in the first quarter. ---

Continuing my trend of taking everyone’s _worst_ shot- I’m sort of the anti- **SenorBeef**. This week I get a fifth win by virtue of the fact that my opponent only put up 67 points, despite scoring at least 100 every week until now. Thanks, Tom Brady’s bye. ---

Man, it was looking like I might go 5-0 across all my leagues this week as of about 4th quarter of the afternoon games. Since then, I have a real chance of going 0-5. Edit: Woops, 1-4. Big league win is set. ---

Who knew 2 IR spots weren’t enough. I have three players going on IR this week alone. ---

The Packers are on a bye after I started 5 of them last week. I’m amazed I can field a halfway decent projected team without them. Not that it looks great, but I am tied in projections at 105 points, against the #1 seed nonetheless at 6-1. Still, not a good week for me, and slipping to 3-5 when the division leader already has a two game lead on me is a scary prospect. ---

I wouldn’t worry about it; I may be in first place, but I’m damn near last in total points. I don’t think this can continue. ---

Still, not a good week for me, and slipping to 3-5 when the division leader already has a two game lead on me is a scary prospect. Yeah, it’s not a great week for my team either. Matt Forte (my #1 player) and Roddy White are both on a bye and Willis McGahee is out the next two games with a hand injury. In all honesty, my 6-1 team is pretty damn shallow when it comes to bench players and if any of my big play guys get hurt, I am in trouble. ---

Looks like my opponent forgot to set his lineup. Shonn Greene and Packers D on bye and Danario Alexander not playing. Hopefully this was just an overlook and that nothing is wrong with\*\* No Use For A Name.\*\* ---

Justin Bailey has a 25 point lead and Witten to play against my Mathews, McCoy, and Henery. Dale has a 7 point lead and Steve Breaston against Retro’s Austin. RNATB has a 3 point lead with Vincent and Desean Jackson against Hamlet’s Rivers. ---

I can’t believe I’m only beating a team that didn’t set their lineup by 7 points plus whatever Breaston gives me. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > RNATB has a 3 point lead with Vincent and Desean Jackson against Hamlet’s Rivers. Didn’t get much from Jackson. Need all of Rivers’ touchdowns tomorrow to go to V-Jax, basically.
