Because I don’t know if I’ll be at a computer in the 20-minute window when they announce whether or not he’s playing and the game starts. Beef is a big supporter of this system, but I know he’s not commish here, so I figured I’d ask. ---

A couple of years ago, the Saints were on bye and I had to start JaMarcus Russel instead of Drew Brees. This time, I get to start Cam Newton! ---

My green bay TDs are being stolen by some 9th string receiver and a defensive lineman. ---

Green Bay likes to have odd players score just for the challenge of it I think. ---

I’m starting to feel pretty good about that Locker draft pick. Haven’t see much of the game, but the numbers look impressive. It’s a shame I didn’t start him, since this was a week when starting a backup was actually something I maky have been forced to do. Why didn’t one of you guys steal Skelton before I added him? ---

I bid on Leinart too, just didn’t go high enough, IIRC. I had Cassel, Schaub, Moreno and Jones in _several_ leagues. I was a bit of a mad scramble to find players this waiver period. ---

Edit: Woops, wrong league. So, uh, RNATB is gonna lose again, so that’s good. And I’ll win, giving me the division lead. ---

After being a few points from starting 1-4, I’ve ripped off 5 wins in a row and my schedule is looking pretty good for the rest of the year. Stringer has the only roster that scares me and it’s not 100%. Well, Green Bay slowing down due to weather potentially is scary too. ---

Yeah, my margin for error is now officially down to zero, thanks to Hasselbeck getting pulled. It’s beat you or bust. ---

The preliminary projected numbers for that matchup is 141.02 to 96.83, although you’ll get more points for replacing Hasselbeck. With… Christian Ponder I guess. My team has become a monster down the stretch. I was one pick away from getting Calvin Johnson too, and I almost picked up Arian Foster because I was a Steve Slaton owner. Oh what could’ve been. Not bad for starting off in last place in year one. The whole dynasty thing seems to be working. Oh, and Jordy Nelson. Turns out you guys were right (Mostly **Ellis Dee** ) about the whole Jordy Nelson vs James Jones thing. (Not about Chris Chambers vs Jones, but over the where Donald Driver’s old production would go) Fortunately I just grabbed them both. ---

Those projected numbers would worry me if Yahoo! projections actually meant anything. Not that I’m not a little worried about not having a quarterback and all, but hey.
