I just want to take the opportunity to point out that the worst team in the Bart Starr division currently has more Points For than 14 out of 15 other teams in the league.

And yet their amazing defense puts 21 points on the board to lead Dan Marino Punches Dolphin to a come-from-behind victory :negative:

Do not try and score on the powerplay. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.

This is the only league where I've had to make a serious decision about potentially dropping Josh Cribbs for Jeff Garcia because he reportedly wants to come back to the league to play for the Browns

If I had to guess, I'd bet that we're the only serious 20 team league across all of ESPN.

I'm sure others try every year, but I'd be willing to bet that none of them have a 5 season long funhouse of pain.

One of the benefits of a 20 team league: knowledge of most teams RB depth chart helps immeasurably in big money leagues for stocking up the bench

I think it is the only way to go. After doing a 20 team league, smaller ones seem like they're for sissies.

My only worry about a smaller league is that I might confuse a useful player from this league with a useful player in other leagues.

Afforded just three targets last week, [Timothy] Wright was unable to build on some mounting momentum, and is realistically off the fantasy radar given his limited role on a limited offense.

I'm okay with losing to like big games by people who you expect could but this is the second week in a row that I'm (probably) going to lose because my opponent somehow knew to start some lovely player (first Roy Helu now Marvin loving Jones) who had never done anything before but someone has the game of their life against me

This was his third game in a row with at least one TD reception. That's why I started him :)

I'm fairly sure that Greg Olsen knows when he is active versus benched for me. When on the bench he actually scores some points. When active, he is a useless turd who does dick.

Luckily I think I'll pull another win out of my rear end this week, getting me four wins in a row.

In the market for a QB since both of mine decided to explode. Darren McFadden or Stevie Johnson are on the block, if the offer is decent. Otherwise I will just try to win without a QB, did it this week.
