We only got something like three or four submissions for the mailbag this week, so Christmas Ape was like, “Hey, should we do a mailbag reminder?” and I was all “HAIL NAW, it’s New Year’s Eve and I don’t feel like writing and formatting a 4000-word column.” So, we’re gonna make do.
Also, so there’s some transparency here, I finished up my fantasy season with both my teams making the playoffs. The ass-kicking team I had (a choice of Matt Schaub and Tom Brady at QB, MJD, Tony Gonzalez, late-round draft picks Percy Harvin and Jamaal Charles, and savvy pick-ups like Miles Austin) lost in the first round, while the middling team I put together finished third. I have now never NOT made the playoffs, but I’ve never finished better than third, either.

Happy New Year!
I’ll say. A happy New Year is a non-impregnated one. Now on to your questions!
