Yeah....that was a pretty awful trade. Did you get anything else for McNair? Big Ben will probably be handing the ball off most of the season. You'd better hope Harrington pans out....he should be your started now.

Is this the first time you've played Fantasy Football? If so, shtein happens, and it is a learning process. While McNair won't light any fires this year, he'll be better statwise that Big Ben by about a mile.

I'd ask for some advice listing some free agents in your league.....you're going to really need to beef up that roster.

Joey Harringtong and Ben Roethlisberger as your fantasy QBs is about as awful as you can get.

The good news is that Kyle Orton should be available to pick up for some QB depth.  The bad news is that you need Kyle Orton for QB depth.

Well the guy agreed that he'd trade him back once the deal goes through. So I think I've learned my lesson. Don't listen to your friend who's a Steelers fan.

Yeahh, don't listen to any fan's advice to pick up a player from their favorite team in fantasy football.  Do however prey on people's tendency to heed such advice, or to favor their favorite team's players over other, more valuable fantasy options.

The only team that should matter in Fantasy Football is your own. Everyone is trying to screw you. Always. I'm surprised the guy said he'd give him back. I'd stick it to ya.
