Really?  In all my years I have never played in one...
 
 This is the downside to Fantasy Sports going mainstream - ideas like competitive balance are after thoughts.

can someone please shoot me now?  actually, my fantasy team is the one needing bullets.  
 
 top scorer of the week: my kicker.  pennington raked in a big, fat 4 points.  maybe if i sell off my decent players for real cash to y'all, i can recoup my $25...
 
 speaking of which, only half the league is paid up.  in another week i'm going to start naming names.  see the link two posts up if you needed a refresher on how to pay.

you aren't the only one.  in the two weeks so far, i've had one starter top the 'projected' points... same player both weeks.

My benched players have more points than my starters. I think I deserve a prize for that.

is my team the worst in this league?
 i almost won last week.
 this week, the 0-3 powerhouses match up.
 someone HAS to win.
 unless we tie.

i don't think my team is that bad as much as a lot of them have been underperforming.  i was hoping for some sort of last minute TD to take the lead or something, but i wasn't so lucky.

can anyone else get in to yahoo fantasy football?  i need to swap out Gostkowski  (65 mph wind gusts in buffalo!) but i can't get in.  dammit.  if anyone wants to propose an alternative FF site for next season, please go ahead.

and in other news, the purse for this year's winners won't be quite as big as promised, since  hoitel hasn't paid up yet despite NUMEROUS reminders.  boooooo.

edit: one previously delinquent account was paid up - thanks!

So what am I looking at for second place?

Oh and for the record I think it's lame that someone would take part in the league and then welch on paying their fee.
