Tampa Bay has given up a grand total of . . . 16 points this season. Should be a good “game”. I sure as hell hope so; I’m still looking for my first win! You’ve got me at QB and DEF, but hopefully Banks and the Tampa Defense will have slower days than they’ve had recently. And I’d like to think that I’ve improved my WR and RB game well enough to beat you there; besides, Chris Carter HAS to be about due for a TD or two. Here’s hoping for a big game from Minnesota this week! See ya on the virtual astroturf… ---

Must be nice to play me the weekend my QB and top WR had a bye - and I still don’t have my top RB in good form yet either. Two words, Falcon: Michael Westbrook. Hey Omni - Great prediction on that Giants-Bears score. Another eight touchdowns (five of them by your team) and a field goal and you would have nailed it. * * * Yer pal, Satan - Commissioner, [The Teeming Minions](http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/full/show?lid=39428&page=leaguehome) \*I HAVE BEEN SMOKE-FREE FOR: Five months, one week, two days, 13 hours, 55 minutes and 8 seconds. 6503 cigarettes not smoked, saving $812.90.

Let’s see, Satan…my best RB had a bye, as did my kicker, AND one of my best WRs, too. And please…like you wouldn’t have trash talked if you’d have won. 🙂 Yes, it’s a lousy win, but it’s still a win. And on Westbrook: I know…good LORD, ONE HEALTHY SEASON! Is that too much to ask??? ---

That’s not my style. The only thing I have done (and will do) is point out to the trashtalkers when the trash they peddled didn’t quite come to fruition - like when you proclaimed a victory over Cobras before it was over, and when Omni… Well, when Omni was acting like Omni! 😉 Some people think that life is professional wrestling.

Satan, don’t get so snotty after that pitchers duel. Sure my prediction was off, but the weather was terrible for football this weekend. How am I supposed to plan for that? Not to mention you’re being right cost you this weeks game, while I’m still looking pretty good with both sides on my match up having one player on Monday night. Winning with a hole at the TE position and the Bears scoring 7, I’ll take that any day. ---

WOOOHOOO 1st place, I’m #1, I’m #1. I figure I have to take this oportunity to brag because I don’t see it lasting long. Especially considering that my entire passing game(QB,3WR’s and TE) combined for 2.37 points this week and The next couple of games are going to hit me hard with bye weeks for the guys who are contributing. But for now, I’m #1. I’m #1… 🙂 ---

I’m predicting a loss this week for the Improbable Probables. As much as it pains me to admit, Cobras are better. Of course I won’t tell that to my team of players who mostly don’t play . . . or the one who can’t seem to catch 30-yard passes when there aren’t any Cowboys within 5 yards of him . . . but the Cobras should hand my ass to me come Sunday (Monday, too). Oh well. Was fun being no. 3 and all that stuff.
