    we are only halfway through the season and speaking from experience, You can have one of the highest point totals and it won't mean poo if the record isn't there.

    and I'm coming for you week 11.

    I think im on my way to accomplishing something special in one of my fantasy leagues!

    Im number one in points with 782, theres one guy at like 774 but then theres nobody within like 60 of us.

    Im also number one in points against with 828. Theres like one or two guys within 100 of that number.

    Its a 12 man league with relatively lax scoring (ppr is .25, everything else is your standard 10-25 yards, 6 per td, no flex). And somehow, players are getting an avg 118.28 against me.

    I am 3-4 and in 7th place, out of playoffs at this point.

    All my wins have come when I scored the number 1 score of the week. 3 of my 4 losses i was number 2 against number 1. This week I was like 4th against 3rd.

    Its epic.

    Sounds like my season last year.

    Oh I know. Scoring does not equal success. There's a guy who is 3rd in scoring in our office league but is sub .500.

    First off, as a life-long Giants fan, I love seeing the Cowboys lose. Its even more special when the Giants beat them.

    Second, I don't think the Romo injury makes much of a difference. With the way the rest of the team has been playing, Romo just isn't good enough to carry them. Neither is Kitna. I think that rather than a 5 or 6 win season, they'll have a 3 to 5 win season. Not that much of a difference, really.

    Third, I've also been having a strange Fantasy season. I'm currently 5-1, and 3 of my victories have come from players who have no business winning the game for me. I won last night because Steve Smith got me 16 points, while Bradshaw only got my opponent 11. I was down by 2 points going into the game. I won last week because my Defense got me almost 20 points. One of the earlier games I won because I was down by 1 going into Monday Night, and my kicker got 5 more points then my opponent's starting Running back. It's just been bizarre.

    Maybe. I somehow managed to accumulate 3 QBs with the same bye week, so I too am scrounging for one this week. On the other hand, talk to me after this week if you want to deal for one. 8-)

    That's why I hate New York fans. If we would have just ended the Giants season it would have been a non-issue/on to the next one. Back when the Cowboys were beating the shit out of the Giant's one or two seasons ago no one gloated. You just don't do that to teams that are beneath you, it shows a lack of class.



    Stay classy, New York.

    With that being said I'm looking for a new team to root for this season.

    Likable Teams:

    Miami: I have no clue why I like them so much, especially being divisional rivals to my beloved Pats, but here you go.

    Bills: A pity pick, but still, great fans and a fantastic beard on their starting QB.

    Rams: Considering what they've come from it is an absolute treat to watch. One of the best starts for a rookie QB in a long, long time.

    Bucs: Just fun to watch!

    Oh don't get me wrong I've been a Viking's fan ever since I grew up in mid-1990's winless Chicago. I'll always be secretly rooting for the Vikings. I don't really know why though.

    Yeah, I never used to get shit talked to as a Vikings fan until last year. It's pretty annoying actually. And now it's going to be "where are the Vikings without Favre huh?" crap. Uhm, hopefully slightly better than they were 2 years ago.

    And my cowboys hate is because I can't stand Jerry Jones, and members of my extended family who are assholes are cowboys fans. I only want them to lose, I don't want their players to get injured. However, if a bad kick ever breaks Jerry Jones' nose, I would laugh as long as he was mostly okay. I'd laugh harder if it bounced off that monstrosity he put in the middle of the filed before smacking him in the face.

    That's one thing I can't stand is the Jumbotron. It's so distracting. I was literally sitting on the most front row you could be without actually being on the field.. in the left corner of the endzone, and when a touchdown was scored there I watched on a damn TV things that were happening 4 feet in front of my face. The thing is so big and distracting you can't help but look at it every time the screen changes.

    Washington at Home, winnable.

    Jets at Home, loss.

    Bills Away, winnable.

    Cowboys Away, winnable.

    Pats at Home, loss.

    They probably lose to Miami as well, but could possibly run the table elsewise and make the playoffs.

    Well the Lions do always step up on Thanksgiving.

    ...
    ..
    .

    I mean... you know the Lions haven't won 5 games over the last 46 games and the Pats have won 5 in 6? I mean yay optimism but if you go 4-42 and you're 1-5 this season I don't see why you would be confident against the team that's 34-12 over that stretch.

    I'm rooting for the Lions along with the Chiefs after my Pats, even if I had the Packers winning it all this year. I like Schwartz (BB disciple), and I think maybe he can make the team decent at least. But there's no proven QB yet and the defense is still worse than the Pats weak-but-improving defense.
