So, I have lost twice since this post below. At least I'll still have a winning season. I'll either come in 5th or 6th place next week.
This is the third year in a row that I made it into the "post-season." I'm a respectable ten and five (...soon to be 11-5 or 10-6), compared to (a final) nine and seven a season ago.
Week 17 - This is when we fight, men.
I also told the league Commissioner that I will not return next season. I do have remorse, though I am thinking positive. I can not wait for next year when I can watch a game in peace. "But, what about research for the book?" My editor asks. I'll just make things up, I'm a writer. I plan on listening to a Fantasy Football radio show and laugh at the yahoos in league Hell. Ahhhh, the good life. Maybe next year I'll finally buy myself a quarterback jersey? Who to chose though, should I go with the obvious?
Speaking of which. Thank goodness I didn't plunk down and buy that Matt Cassel jersey a couple of weeks ago. Randomly, did you know he named one of his children Matthew Cassel Jr.? And he was in the 1994 Little League World Series. Brilliant. I believe in Cassel. I learned that from following Andy Dalton for the past couple of seasons. Plus his jersey might be on sale right now. Good luck on you Cassel...and Dalton...and Darren McFadden.

Where I coin the term "Fantasy Football Rage". I am creating a spectrum and triggers for it as we speak.

Thank God the misery is about to end.
Last week before the postseason. I am 10 and 3 (Won the last three games) .769. Tied in first place in my division and Fourth overall in the league.
Starting lineup this week -
QB Tom Brady
RB C.J. Spiller
RB Ronnie Hillman
WR Danny Amendola
WR Randall Cobb
TE Julius Thomas
WR Doug Baldwin
K Mike Nugent
Def Carolina Panthers
Martellus Bennett was my starting TE for this season. Get well and healthy. Thank you #83. Gronk, Edelman and D. Lewis get healthy boys.
I wonder if I should add Edelman? I have bench players to spare. In fairy tale land I think he'll come out of the tunnel and start next week.

It's always nice to win the first game of the season. In a separate match-up, this season, it was nice to beat the person I came in second to last year in the 'ship.

I drafted Brady in the third round. I look at his 353.58 points this season and say thank you.

I dropped TE M. Bennett and added Edelman. This is why I don't win, I only draft Patriots players. Right now I have: Brady, LaFell, Dola, Edelman and TE S. Chandler. On to Houston.
