I didn’t want it to go through until after Sunday but I didn’t bother to check the thread and it looks like I’m going to win comfortably anyway so no biggie. ---

That’s why I asked. My general default leaning is to get deals through before gameday, that’s generally how I’ve done it for the last few years and I’d hope people are used to it - but some people don’t expect it and I don’t want to catch anyone off guard, so please, in the future, specify whether or not you want trades to go through in time for the next game. BTW, whoever loses between Jules and Retrovertigo is going to score 265+, so both of Jules predictions about stuff that would never happen again within the season were disproven in the next two weeks. ---

At least it took two weeks. Usually any prediction I make goes wrong immediately. ---

What would be the cutoff for when its too late to push through a trade? ---

Everything up until kickoff would be ok as long as both sides made their intentions clear. I may not be at the computer in time to actually execute a trade but if both sides made it clear they intended a trade to go through and specify what roster changes they’d like to make based on the trade going through, I could fix it retroactively. But the intent has to be clear from both sides, so if you make a late trade please post about it. ---

It’s too bad you guys didn’t mock my late round selection of Cam Newton, so I can’t really rub it in now. #3 in fantasy scoring… Battle of the juggernauts this week as I face Retrovertigo. It’s 239.39 projected points vs 239.86. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > Battle of the juggernauts this week as I face Retrovertigo. It’s 239.39 projected points vs 239.86. I came here to bitch about you calling your matchup a “Battle of the Juggernauts” when it didn’t involve me and I faced the third place team. Then I realized I faced him last week. It’s been a rough week… I’m projected to get 239.72 despite losing five starters to bye. I’m literally scraping the barrel just to start someone at each spot. And a week after both my starting defenses shit the bed (and my opponent’s two defenses combined for **five** touchdowns!) my top three defenses face the teams that gave up the 32nd, 31st and 28th most fantasy points to DEF. Oof. But after the draft I knew I’d have a lot of trouble weeks 5 and maybe 7, so stealing a win here would really help. ---

I only had a couple starters on bye this week. Scared to look ahead. ---

Jules’ defenses and mine combined for -12 points this week, and the Yahoo android app apparently doesn’t work, because I was supposed to be starting Kevin Boss. Not that it mattered, since Boss had no points. ---

Well that’s convenient for you Jules, getting to face the one guy you scored more than this week. (I had one of those weeks too - I just like to counterbalance claims of how everything always goes wrong for you) ---

I don’t even know where to start with that post. I’ll just say, yes, that was fortunate. ---

Varlos you winless motherfucker, don’t go breaking your streak on me while Jules gets to face the lowest scorer in the league again. ---

Varlos has a 16 point lead, Knox, Greene, and Keller against my Holmes and Bears. He picked a fine week to start scoring points. The other games are technically within reach but not really. ---

I’d need 35+ from AP and the Minnesota defense. Possible, but not really feasible, even against Jay Cutler. I’m probably going to go 5-1 in HHM and the Dynasty league - and I’ll be 1-5 in this one. Oh well, at least I get to play Varlos and Omni again. ---

Ah, you meant 35 each, I thought you meant 35 total and I figured that didn’t sound right at all. You’d also need to outscore whatever Percy Harvin puts out. Yeah, it should be nice against Omni and Varlos. They’re saving up their good games against me, so you should be safe. ---

Yay Santonio Holmes. Just need Greene/Keller not to score 4 points on this garbage time clock runout drive. ---

Greene looked unusually competan with a few runs, giving Varlos 3 points and change… Leaving the score (barring adjustments) 214.28 to 214.11 in my favor. ---

Talk about incredibly lucky! It always works out that way, come in complaining about somebody else’s luck and you end up the luckiest of all. I’m totally sure that was just a one time thing and won’t carry over for, oh I dunno, another week. Turns out it didn’t matter if I faced the person with the lowest score (I didn’t) because I would have beaten anyone else anyway.
