I can't access Sportsline from work, so I will talk trash to those of you in rjs's league here.
Allow me to reiterate: Jeff Garcia + Chris Cooley = championship
I have already gotten 2/3 of the most difficult teams in the league out of the way and came out of it 1-1. My team laid an egg this week but I'm much happier with this team than I was with my team last year.

God damn it. I was enjoying the peace and quiet there.
My team is performing about as I expected after the draft.
I took Larry Johnson against every fiber of common sense in my body.
That said, I do expect some big games from Rivers now that he's through the gauntlet of two of the top defenses in the NFL. Also, Adrian Peterson is going to have a stud year if he stays healthy.
Unfortunately, Marvin Harrison is on the rapid decline, and the other receivers are much worse.
Still, I think I will sneak into the playoffs, where I will be a complete non-factor.

When you said you were planning on taking LJ if he was there, I did a mexican hat dance. Which was a bit awkward since I was at work and there are a lot of people from mexico here.
Seriously, gringo, tone it down.

Pointing. Laughing.
Honestly, I think rjs is getting the better end of the deal, since he's getting the best player (Holt).
However, Burress will be huge this week.
You chodes wish you could pull deals off like this.
I dump two Falcons and only get one in return.
Holt for Burress: Even
Chris Brown for Jerious Norwood: Even, maybe advantage Brown
Crumpler for Harrington: Who gives a shtein? The league doesn't have a TE position and now I at least have a backup QB not named 'JP Losman's leg'.
Greatest GM ever.
Who's your starting QB then?
P.S. Holt for Burress is not even, and you know it.
I dump 2 Falcons and only get 1 in return.
Focus on the important bits.
Chris Brown is worthless once he gets hurt soon, which inevitably will happen, and the LenDale starts for the rest of the year.
Torry Holt is old enough to be on my team.
And Joey Harrington. EI have nothing to contribute.
Hahahahaha Lendale White.
Burress is the #1 receiver and Eli's favorite target, and the one thing that Giants can do is pass. Saying that Holt for Burress straight up is somehow a rape job for Russell is not close to being right. The rams offense is farged, and could be getting worse with Jackson getting hurt...or they could throw like crazy, either way i think it's a pretty even deal, with me getting a wideout i wanted.
um, aren't you the one getting plexico?
i don't care either way about the trade, just making fun of joey harrington being someone's starter after i offered him matt schaub.
yeah...i'm defending myself against FF who says RJS is pulling one over on me because Holt and Burress don't compare

I actually wanted Matt Schaub, but wasn't going to give up Burress for him straight up. When I looked at you other players I accidentally threw up on my dog and then she ate it and threw it back up on my neck to get revenge. Stupid dog.

I thought my bench was garbage too until I checked the numbers and it's actually much more productive than yours so far. Then a felt a little better.
although curtis's career day definitely skews that a little.
I'm just not sure that those 40 points would have any real impact.
actually, after looking through the teams, i have the 3rd highest scoring bench in the league.
holy shtein there is some awful depth on some of these teams.
HAHAHAHA... Ellen put up 116 and lost to Pete's McNabb/Westbrook combo by 2.
This MUST be the focal point of this week's recap. farging hilarious.
so i'm playing beermonkey and 4 of the players on his team are starters for my team in my money league. i don't think there's any way i can win both. balls.

I was wondering about that. I got pretty hammered last night (to calm me down after my little "incident") so I didnt think twice about Detriots DEF putting up 42 points, even though thats what FF's entire team scored.
Looking through the games, it looks like certian DTD's are also getting scored as KRTD and STTD. And not just this week either.
The Sportsline experiment was genius.

Brutal, man. If if makes you feel any better, as it stands now, my team of loveable losers is the highest-scoring this week (with Greg Jennings left to play).
For me:
28 points from this Philip Rivers character (it's about farging time)
13 points from Brian Leonard
15 points from the Giants D
For you:
0 points from Kitna
0 points from Calvin Johnson
2 points from Jerious Norwood
That pretty much sums it up.

at this point i can't really get mad.
my two starting backs are hurt and this is a league where you get lucky with depth positions
DeShawn Wynn just got 11 points on the first drive
and the way the Chicago offense has been giving up the ball and me having Green Bay defense, i might make this close after all
Im so glad I didnt put Michael Turner in for an injured Addai this morning before I left for the airport. Im also glad that at last minute, I decided not to pick up Kenton Keith off the waivers and instead got Michael Jenkins. I'm definatly the coach of the year.

Yep. It's far from over.
nevermind
Greg Jennings is going to prove to be quite useful, especially since Marvin Harrison is a big bag of suck.
Wynn celebrated his good first drive by going to the locker room to have his tampon taken out
that Brett Favre interception pretty much lost me games in 2 leagues
Jennings, of course, left the game with an injury.
Things just keep getting better for Flowering Flatulence. But I did still win, putting up 89 points with Larry Johnson and Chris Chambers each getting 1 whole point.
Commish Rusty just can't bring himself to pick my team to win.
Frankly, no one in his right mind would pick my team to win.
That means I will be 4-2 after the weekend. Oh, and as an added bonus, I'm getting drunk at the Rathskellar on Friday.

Considering that I had to play my 4th and 5th string RBs (Total points=0) and my third WR was deactivated before the game, and that I still put up a decent score, I feel good about todays loss. :)

Much like in Bugs Bunny cartoon where he sleep walks through a construction site while girders line up under his feet & avoids falling objects, my fantasy team has mindlessly wandered through the first 6 weeks while my oppponents forgot to set their line ups, their starting RB's got injured & my week 1 loss miraculously turned into win during week 6.
I have a bad feeling this week that the Monkey Spanks freight train will derail this week & fall victim to the surging Flowering Flatulence & it's egomaniacal owner. God bless us all.

The last 2 weeks, Russell picked against me. I won the matchups by an average of well over 20 points, maybe 30.
Russell picked against me this week again. You're farged, Chris. Ha!
On a more serious note, I really am looking to deal Rivers or Chambers. I don't mind holding on to both of them, but if I could get a player of similar value that isn't directly relying on another player on my fantasy team to score, that would be nice.

Hilarious: Our commish (rjs), who has 1 win on the season, traded Torry Holt for Matt Schaub recently. While some of us contested the trade, it went through.
This week, he played Schaub, and his opponent played a guy named Tom Brady. I also think his kicker (Rackers) scored -1 point.
This is high comedy.
BTW, even though I picked up Northcutt to play if Harrison is out, I'm thinking I'll leave Harrison in regardless and sit on my 36-point win.

My Mr. Magoo-like run through the season continues as I replaced the Ravens D (bye) with the Seahawks D (also a bye) and went up against the highest scoring team in this league, who averages 109 points/game.
Fortunately, Tony Romo & Edgerrin James had byes & she only was able to put up 52 points. I fully expect my next opponent's starting QB & RB to have some kind of freak auto-erotic asphyxiation accident this week.
Bad:
Marvin Harrison didn't play and has proven to be completely awful this year after I used the "I've never had him on a team so I should draft him this year" logic.
Larry Johnson was on a bye.
I swapped in Andre Davis for Chris Chambers yesterday, believing he'd get more points (wrong) because the Texans would be playing the whole game from behind (right).
Good:
After using my 3rd position in the waiver order to get Jesse Chatman, he got a respectable 9 points for me in LJ's absense.
Rivers had a very nice game.
I'm up 7 with with my Greg Jennings going against his Jason Elam and should improve to 6-2, one game behind the aforementioned 7-1 Monkey Spanks, who I defeated last week.
i was up by a pretty good margin near the end of the 4:00 games yesterday, then all of a sudden the zombie jumped like 15 points closer to me. i then saw that lee evans had an 85 yard TD. that most likely did me in.
oh, and i didn't play a kicker at all because you can't make any moves over the weekend. which makes total sense.

A few weeks ago, I picked up the skins D on Sunday and played them. I also picked up Northcutt last week in case Harrison couldn't play and I needed a Monday night replacement.
rjs probably just blocked you from transactions because he's the worst commish ever.
You can definitely pick up players on the weekend, smart stuff. And don't worry, my players will find a way to put up goose-eggs for you tonight.
i tried to pick up a kicker on sunday morning and it said it would go through wednesday morning.
Hm, I haven't ever waited until Sunday to pick up free agents for my players that were on a bye so I have no idea what you did wrong.
Oh, and I blocked you from making transactions because I'm still holding out hope to win the league!

honestly, i'd rather you keep winning because you have some nice RBs and then the rest of your team is garbage.

no, the important thing is that you bragging about your garbage team is just going to make it that much funnier when you lose in the first round of the playoffs.
I'll lose in the playoffs when I play Ellen and only when I play Ellen.

Put a big * next to your victory over me pal. My 1st, 2nd and 3rd rb's were all out. (well, LaMont was supposed to be out). Reggie wayne = bye. My starting QB = bye. I feel no shame in my loss in our matchup.
And I STILL managed to put up 76 points even though my two remaning running backs (washington and turner) and my reserve WR all put up gooseggs. But congrats on 89 points this week :-D
I can't understand the hate on 89 points. It's well above the average league output, no? There are teams scoring in the 60's and winning. Hell, what did you score last week when you eked out a tie?

ow the hell does the waiver wire in this league work? 5 or 6 weeks in a row now i've tried to pick someone up, only to have him snagged by someone else. yet i haven't moved up in the waiver wire standing. i don't think there's any rhyme or reason to it.
Players are on waivers for two days after they've been released and every free agent is on waivers between Sunday at 1 and wednesday morning. Every time you claim someone off of waivers, even if it isn't your first choice of player, you move to the back of the line. So let's say you want to drop Reno Mahe for Priest Holmes, but think you might not get him so you also put in a claim of Reno Mahe for Maurice Morris. Holmes gets grabbed before you get to him, but you've still got the Reno for Morris claim out there. So that goes through and you drop to the back of the line.
Also, my team sucks and I just beat the highest scoring team in the league. My season is now a success.

I still can't believe Chris has 9 wins and Ellen has 6.
thanks. i know how waivers work. my point is that i haven't picked anyone up off of waivers yet, and somehow still haven't moved up in the order. there is no way that the people in front of me also haven' picked anyone up.
Actually you are third on the waiver list and the people ahead of you are notorious for doing absolutely nothing with their rosters. One guy didn't make a single move last season and the other hasn't been heard from once since like week 3. SO SUCK IT! Thanks.
It's extremely sad that Chris Brown's actual playing status and availability as a FA in the league is the luckiest break I've had this year.
The fact I'm 7-3 is a testament to my insane post-draft GM skills. Stephen Gostkowski is the only player I drafted that is starting for me this week.
It's really not cool that I managed to win against better teams and lose against all of you shteinheads and your awful teams. shteinheads.
18 points is a tall order for Chris Brown.
Ray got 37 points yesterday and is done...
37
Tom Brady had 44.
my team did not shtein the bed for the first time in about 5 weeks.
Cody decided not to start Chester Taylor yesterday. Sucker.
By the way, my first three draft picks in this league were Travis Henry, Thomas Jones and Terrell Owens. Out of the 14 players I drafted those are the only three that are still on my team, yet somehow I have a 4-game winning streak and am in the top half of the league in scoring.
Best GM ever. Worst drafter ever. EVER!
That is similar to what's happened with my team.
i can not believe the starting lineup you played against me yesterday. if there was a draft right now, i can't see one person taken before round 5 or 6.
Quite ugly, indeed. Greg Jennings is the highest-caliber player I started. Injuries to Marvin Harrison, Larry Johnson, and Adrian Peterson have taken their toll.
At least AP comes back this week.

The top 7 teams are in, with various jockeying for position to be done. Matt's in the 8th spot if he wins. If Matt loses the winner of the ZombieApocalypse/Alaskan Pipeline game will almost certainly surpass Matt in the points tie-breaker and sneak in to the last spot.

Last Game of Regular Season
Week 13: 11/27/07 - 12/3/07
ZombieApocalypse at Alaskan Pipeline
Kordell's Rainbow Warriors at Monkey Spanks
Rolling For Jesus at SUPA FUPA
Cheeseburger Helmets at Sex Panther
Village People at Flowering Flatulence
I doubt your sincerity at Dead Money
Beef Curtains at Ol Puddin Head
Oh and if Ol Puddin Head wins AND oustscores the winner of the Zombie/Alaska game by roughtly 120 points, then he'll get the 8th spot.
i could possibly get to the 6 spot with a win and FF and jesse losses. and you're only 30 points ahead of me, i wouldn't call that almost certainly.
Besides me losing and Matt winning, what needs to happen for me to slide into that 8th spot?
You have to have less points than either Matt or Jesse.
you're pretty far ahead, i'd have to outscore you by a bunch for that to happen. another repeat of this week though, and it would. thinking about tanking?
i like my chances

Why not? My team's only chance to win it all is to get Johnson and Harrison healthy for the playoffs, so I might as well angle to play the overrated Monkey Spanks team in the first round. Then, I have to hope to sneak through with a somewhat makeshift team and get healthy before week 15. It's possible.
Healthy lineup:
Rivers/Garcia (Play the matchup! Yuck.)
LJ
Adrian Peterson
Marvin Harrison
Greg Jennings
Chris Cooley
Gostkowski
Giants D
But yeah - bottom line is I might tank this week without even trying, so I could just try and make it seem like a genius GM move. Who am I playing anyway?
Week 13 Lineup:
Jeff Garcia - back
Larry Johnson - foot
Jesse Chatmas - neck
Marvin Harrison - vagina
D.J. Hackett - ankle
Chris Cooley - hotpants
Gostkowski - coach hates FG's
Giants D - choke artists
I still might have enough points in there to beat the "Village People".
You know that a loss by Matt guarantees that you won't get the last seed, right?

Yep. But it doesn't hurt to try, especially since Matt would probably like to win and make the playoffs.
Doubtful.
Who's going to stop him? You?
Funney.
I LIKE MY CHANCES
i'm 90% sure that torry holt will be the one to have a monster day and put me in the playoffs.
DOUBTFUL!
that would be such a fitting end for your douchey face.
YOUR face has a douche in it.
Apparently, Pete's brand of trash talk has rubbed off on the rest of the league.
Im going to get my arse handed to me by a lesbian. Thankfully, when that happens, I wont have internet access untill 12/7 to see it.

My early season output was cramped due to Brees, LT & Chad Johnson putting on some very Eagles-like performances. With them coming on strong lately, if I had decent 2nd WR/RB, I'd feel pretty good about my chances in the playoffs.
If my team can put up the numbers they did this past week, they'll be competitive with anyone in this league.
I guess Beermonkey convinced me I should play it out for a better seed, so I put in a less-sucky lineup:
Rivers
Peterson
Chris Brown/TBD
Jennings
Chambers
Cooley
Gostkowski
Giants D
Jennings gets another double-digit game. Yawn. Who dropped him earlier this season anyway?
As much as I hate you for continuing to point that out, I'm pretty goddamned happy with my receiving corps. So cram it.
You can stew about it in the off-season.
I guess that will officially start for you Tuesday morning.
So thanks in part to Antonio Gates shteinting the bed, Matt has pretty much been guaranteed to be knocked out of the playoffs. The question now is whether the Patriots' D and Willis McGahee can combine for 49+ points tonight. Since they are playing against me, I'm assuming that they will score at least that many.
Marginally interesting side note, if the Pats and McGahee combine for 24 or more points but don't score enough to win, Alaskan Pipeline will be the 4th highest scoring team in the league, and will be excluded from the playoffs. Like a sucker.
11 points from Gostkowski for me tonight? Nope. I'm predicting 8 or 9.

I'll lose in the playoffs when I play Ellen and only when I play Ellen.
Being right isn't always good.
So I did manage to back door my way into the playoffs. Some really weird shtein would have to happen for me to squeeze any money out of this ordeal though...

Speaking of money, is it winner take all?
I think the finals are going to be ORLY & Rolling for Jesus.
The money is:
$450
$200
$50
Nothing
Who gets the other $140 you collected?
the commish is being audited!
Hilarious!
Also, beermonkey, I doubt your sincerity and Rolling for Jesus are probably going to face each other in the semi's based on the bracket... actually, your lucky soft ass team has about the easiest route to the finals that you could ask for. Dick.

:-D With all the petty sniping about my soft team, you & FF should just put your hair up in pigtails & wear plaid skirts so could look like schoolgirls too.
After you dress up, send me some pics, I like that kind of thing.
Ha! I didn't even notice the O R L Y filter. And BM, suck my balls. Thanks!

My team faced your team once H2H and won. Paper champs.
P.S. Should we invite Jevon?

:-D Hey, I'm not the one who when on an auto-fellating posting spree about the awesomeness of their team mid-season, only to lose their final 4 games (2 against non-playoff teams) and squeak in the playoffs.
No need to go on the offensive, I'm sure your purse is more expensive & nicer than Rusty's.
My coinpurse is definitely nicer.
Quantity is not akin to quality. Your third ball impresses no one.
Don't be jealous of my built-in windsail.
Ellen went to her secret stash for the larger strap-on and housed me with it all day long.
It's clearly either Rusty's or Sportsline's fault.

So thats why you were in such a good mood.
To start off a pretty zesty Sunday, right after the Eagles flushed their season down the toilet, FOX switches to the Cowboys game, just in time to see them win in the final seconds. To further sodomize me emotionally, I checked out BK & saw that my team of fargwits will probably score the least amount of points in the playoffs.
Congratulations Rusty.
Now I get to take on Paco's band of flying monkeys. Loss. Loss.

Dont worry... I'll probably do something stupid like play Anthony G. over Donald Driver, since I almost did this week. Driver will finally see the end zone while Gonzo puts up a gooseegg, you win.

Tomlinson and Brees combined for 59. The other 6 members of your team combined for 18. That's farging brutal. But I'll take it.
Rusty and the lesbian are done.
Rolling 4 Jesus won despite getting 3 points from the Brady machine. He's unstoppable, like Eli.

Im just glad I outscored this week ORly in my matchup against zombieApoc, since the other matchup was the real superbowl, or so I was told.
(Seriously, I am glad the two top scores are in the finals, vs me taking 2nd place by default.)
I'm rooting for you to eventually get my $60 $50, buddy.
I'll give you Rusty's cell number and work email address if he doesn't pay you in a reasonable amount of time.
We've already agreed on March. You're not welcome in the negotiations.
Good point. I never insert my opinion or penis where its not wanted.

I'm rooting for me too, but I picked R4J in your poll.
I'm awesome. Drunk too. F Brady.
