Oh, you’re right. Somehow I thought you were 1-5. Still. Look at it! You’ll be 3 games back if I win … with Rodgers, Moss, and James Jones yet to play, it’s still looking pretty decent.

Fuck you in the ass Mike Tolbert (edit: Norv Turner really) for stealing even more bullshit. Does anyone want Ryan Mathews for a fucking 6 pack? I knew I should’ve drafted Jahvid Best at #1 overall, I was even trying to work the pre-draft negotiations if you remember, to give Ellis the pick.

I got a bit caught up in the moment with the “6 pack” offer… although I think I’d rather have the 6 pack than Kevin Smith.

I need Rodgers and Moss to put up 21 points plus whatever Brandon Jackson scores to beat Varlos.

Hamlet needs 13 points out of Harvin and peterson to beat Omni.

Furt needs 5 points out of Buhler to beat Dale.

Which leaves me in the sad position of having to root for players on the team the Packers are playing. I dislike that part of fantasy football.

Nope. Sadly, Isotopes are going to win going away, short of a miracle, so I’ll still be three games out in the division.

Yep.

His touch will taint you.

I propose that if I repeat as champion the league gets renamed in my honor.

Your time to make that claim was in the offseason. This year it’s going to be named the Hamlet Memorial Dickwagon.

Hamlet raped everyone points-wise last year, too, and yet he barely made the playoffs.

Well that was fun while it lasted. In a mere 2 weeks I’ve gone from 5-0 to having my season over. Stringer has a 40 point projected lead over me next week.

Well he’s definitely got a win next week. Half my starters have a bye and I don’t think Frank Gore has a 4 TD day in him to make up the difference. Just a hunch.

Slowly clawing my way back to .500.

What is up with Retro Vertigo? Chris Johnson, Greg Jennings, Tom Brady, Miles Austin, and Shonn Greene and he’s 1-6, third from last in points? I was afraid of his team (and Stringer’s stacked team), going into this year, but it’s been a bad year. Lots of underacheivers I guess.

My team sucks but somehow I lost and moved up to first place in my division.

Well I was saving all that money all season to overspend it on James Jones apparently. I bid $45 but I probably could’ve got away with bidding $10 and won him. But after getting outbid so many times before and realizing there wouldn’t be that many chances to snatch up someone useful in this league I was determined to get him.

I view him as the replacement for Donald Driver in the not very distant future. Driver is old and slowing down, and Jones is talented - he’d be a starting WR on most teams. He gets a value boost this year because Finley is down. Next year he won’t put up huge numbers, but I see 900/6 with upside as practical. I’m surprised **Ellis** dropped him before guys like Michael Jenkins, Michael Spurlock, Stefan Logan, Earl Bennett, Jason Avant… Chris Chambers… yeah I think this one might end up coming bite you.
