I lost in all three leagues. Hell, in HHM all I needed was 12 points from MJD and Marcedes Lewis, and I didn’t even get that.

Pretty big trade.

Warner’s Brothers gives up Andre Johnson

Yeah, I saw that in my inbox. Pretty major trade, and IMO a well-crafted (ie: fair) trade.

Sigh. I meant to also get Ricky Williams in that deal, then forgot.

Right now, yes. If Spiller runs for 1200 yards next year, it’ll be a different picture.

Well, he might. If he gets cut and signs with a CFL team.

I get the feeling that despite a 5-0 start I’m going to end up missing the playoffs.

I get the feeling that, despite scoring the second most points in the league, I’m going to miss the playoffs too. Now it’s the #1 scoring WR in the NFL, Austin Collie, who loses multiple starts for me. At least I may get Steve Smith back, but that that’s a helluva step down.

After all the hoopla over the Eddie Royal - Kyle Orton/Tony Gonzalez trade, I’m not even going to be starting Royal this week. While he’s officially a game-time decision, he’s probably not going to play.

I hope this works out in the long run… I have the worst luck with trades.

Dynasty leagues are all about the long run, so I wouldn’t worry about it much. Doesn’t sound too serious anyway.

Vincent Jackson and Steve Smith 2.0 are on the block. Looking for an upgrade at QB.

You’re right, but my track record in this league is pretty terrible for trades. Last year I obtained Laurence Maroney and Nate Burleson, players that at the time were moderately good RB2/WR2 types. Then they both got injured and haven’t done much of anything. Burleson is just coming back to startability now.

I’m looking to move Tony Romo + Manningham for a a couple good receivers. Would you be interested in a straight-up trade?

EDIT: I went ahead and sent that proposal. Accept at your leisure.

I was thinking more along the lines of a long term prospect (ie., Matt Ryan) or a swap of one or both of those guys + Schaub or Palmer for a top 5 guy (ie. Rivers). Not sure how I feel about Romo with heads about to roll in Dallas, but I’ll consider that one.

Royal is active today so his injury can’t be too bad.

What concerns me more is Knowshon Moreno is being productive finally. I’m 5-1 in two leagues facing 0-5 teams and now I’m trailing both.

Which I fucking knew would happen, even though I had like a 33 point projected lead in one. I lose the ones that seem like I should win.

Anyway, even if I lose out, I’m still gonna be on top of you, RNATB. You can stare directly up at my taint!

How do you figure? I’m going to win today, so I’d only be two games back.
