It’s not going to matter, because you’re going to lose to me anyway. Fear my Ponder! ---

Ponder? You’re starting Grossman. Who’s about due for one of his 4 TD wtf games. I like that your highest projected scorer by far is the St. Louis defense. Although your revised roster has a lot of solid double digit projections, putting you only 30 points behind. I’m surprisingly not dependent on GB this week. I’m starting Rodgers and Nelson only. Starks is hurt, and Finley is the odd man out between Gronk and Graham. ---

I wasn’t sure I would get Grossman. I put a fairly small FAAB bid on him. ---

Last week I had 6 RBs with ‘O’ status and still won. Now Fred Jackson is out. So I’ll have 2 RBs with 1% starting percentage. Fun. Pete ---

RNATB goes down, and if Isotopes doesn’t make a comeback, I’m up 2 wins in the division. ---

My team has been hitting the high projections. I’ve actually closed the points gap on Stringer to 25. I could win the points title this year. It’ll be pretty epic if the championship is me vs Stringer. ---

Not too shabby. But, being this league, I’m also 3rd in points against and sitting at 5-7. I hate this league. ---

So far this year: 3rd in total points, 3rd points against, best finish possible: 7-7. I like the head-to-head matchups for the special flavor, especially in the playoffs, but sometimes it can be a tad bit frustrating. ---

Last season I avoided any major injuries, my team has really struggled this year in the injury department. If I win it’ll be a testament to the depth of my team, but I have really struggled at points in this season (this weekend’s 142-108 slaughter being a prime example.) ---

While I’d kill for your points against number, you’re still the top scoring team and sitting nicely at 9-3. You’ve gotten yourself one heck of a great team. ---

108 points is _struggling?_ ---

Whoah. I just realized I’m still in contention for the wild card, and I’ll have the points tiebreaker over **RetroVertigo** if he loses a game. ---

Bloody hell. I just went back and checked and even in the first season when I won the championship I scored under 100 (actually, under 90) twice- though in fairness I also scored at least 120 in every other game. I scored under 100 four times last season and _six_ times this season. ---

I’m pretty consistent this season. I haven’t scored under 100, and I’m usually within a few points of my (usually high) projection. ---

Wow, even at this stage I haven’t locked up a playoff spot. Justin Bailey and Stringer are the only ones. I’d have to lose out and be outscored by 200+ points to lose my division though. The wild card race is likely to be between Retrovertigo, Petey, and RNATB. Retro has a win up but the lowest score. RNATB and Isotopes play this week, knocking one of them out of it. Isotopes then has to play me the final week. Meanwhile Retro doesn’t play a top team, so I’d say he’s likely to get the spot. Likely playoff seeding at this stage: 1. Stringer 2. Me 3. Justin Bailey 4.
