THE RULES ARE FAIR. THE REGULATIONS ARE FAIR. THE COMPETITIVE BALANCE IS FAIR.

Dude, if your RB's go for a combined 3 points and one gets knocked out of the game in the 1st half, you're generally not gonna win that week. I'll take my defeat, rearrange my lineup, tent my fingers and mutter "Excellent" as I await revenge in Week 12.

You mean like by trading Frye to Seattle after week one and re-signing Ken Dorsey?

yikes

my team totally bombed this week.

Ditto.

My team in my other league did well very though.

What I forget and am reminded of every opening day is that what we are watching are commercials interrupted by a football game, not the other way around.

So frustrating. Games now average three and half hours. If games ever go pay-per-view do you think they would ever eliminate commercials and just have the regular time-outs?

yep. i had around the same draft position and i won my matchup AND posted the highest number of points in the league for the week.

i think 4WR is stretching things a bit thin, but obviously it's too late to do anything with that. even just using a W/R flex position or somethin would have been a bit better IMO. i'll deal with it and hope that i get lucky in future weeks. i only got 3 total TDs out of all my (active) players, so…

Argh! No live scoring this week…

At least I get to watch my 2nd RB (Ward - NYG) and my 3rd WR (Evans - BUF) on TV this afternoon.

Didn't someone in the league their landlord pay for NFL Sunday Ticket? Any chance there's a Slingbox in your future? :)

man i thought i was having a decent week until i actually checked out my opponent's points.
looks like 0-2 may be in my future.

if you ever thought about it before, don't do EA's fantasy football. it blows. some other people i usually do a league with did it this year because it has free live scoring. the draft interface was HORRIBLE, the management interface is horrible and the live scoring is showing game scores and such from week 1 as well as my week 1 opponent, rather than week 2, but it is showing my week 2 points at least. summary: it sucks. fucking cheapskates.

yeah, SUCKS. i might pay the $9.99 randsom they want in exchange for real-time stats & scoring.

in other news, leagues dues are due before next sunday (week 3). so while you're waiting for this week's points to post, why not send your commish a love letter with a little cash attached to it? most people have paid up, but we still have a few hold-outs. don't make me name'n'shame you in front of the whole league :p if you're sending me a check via snail-mail, lemme know - thanks.

i pay the stupid $10, its totally worth it

i'll have the ticket (hopefully) this sunday as long as my closing doesnt get held up (again). no more leaving the house ever for the steelers. alas, i'll have the direct tv dvr, though

I have the free NFL Sunday Ticket. That's me :) Too bad I haven't been home any of the last couple Sundays to take advantage of it though.

And you missed two thrilling, come-from-behind wins for the Broncos. In the first one, they had the lead for one second. The final one.

And you call yourself a FAN….

I'm sorry I was driving for 6 hours last Sunday after attending a college football game at my alma mater.

And last night I was volunteering at a bout during the game. And, might I mention, I was receving text updates on the game both Sundays.

Not everyone has the time to sit glued to the television every single Sunday. Eat shit :)

Eagles Fans Give McNabb Three-Week Deadline To Win Super Bowl

And by the way, you DO know it's not how many player transactions you can make that wins the pot at the end of the year, don't you? 37 player transactions in 2 weeks! You keep up that pace you'll have dropped and added over three hundred players by season's end!
