at least it makes watching the games on TV more exciting, especially if you are playing for money :D

First year for me playing fantasy football. 2nd Best record in the league, highest scoring team in the league. Yeah, I just wanted to let you guys know that.

Ape is officially the most stylish of all ya’ll simply by not appearing in that picture.

I, too, drafted Brady (and had Carson Palmer as a backu – yeah, thought I was stacked – but no). This means that I ended up starting 7 different QBs over the course of the season: Brady, Palmer, Silky, Mister J.T. O’Sullivan IV, Aaron Rodgers (trade), Kyle Orton (it worked!), and Peyton Manning (another trade).

The end result: I’m in the playoffs at 7-5-1 thanks to Andre Johnson, Roddy White, Forte, Bush, Grant, and a perfectly timed deadline trade for Brian Westbrook. Which makes up for the fact that I dropped Steve Slaton (that effing Behrens picked him up) in week 2 like a total idiot.

You had three trades all year in your league? Shit, man – we had 12 in my league, four of them involving me. It’s the only way to make a comeback.

Hey Captain, how about identifying the studly fellows shown in the photo for those of us not cool enough to be part of the sports blogging scene?

Good thing you were able to conduct the draft in someone’s parents’ basement. If you had done it in a public place, the groupies never would have left you alone long enough to complete it.

paralysis by analysis…happens every week, dude. don’t be too hard on yuhself. you could be bearded or in that pic below with Keanu Reeves in some bomb of a movie, ‘The Day The Earth Stood Still’. Isn’t that Johnny Utah? I too have tweaked the lineup mucho times and have managed to coral Lance Moore and Pierre Thomas by luck. I’m now naming my dogs, Pierre and Lance. HH@showoffsports.com

The first 13 weeks of my fantasy season were filled with highs (Anquan Boldin, Calvin Johnson, DeAngelo Williams) and lows (Larry Johnson, Willie Parker, Marvin Harrison). All of that led up to a play-in game between two 7-6 teams for the 4th and final roster spot. I had a 20ish point deficit (we have a high-scoring league) going into the TB-CAR game on Monday. I had Williams, he had Matt Bryant. I lost by 0.27. This after coming in 2nd to a girl last season. I fucking hate fantasy football.
