Westbrook, Glenn, and Dillon all have in common???


They are 3 of my starters and they were going to make sure I didn't go undefeated for the season. Talk about amazing, with Bulger on a bye, I knew I was hurting going into this weekend, but Dillon not being on the injury report, then added on Friday with a "minor" injury, then WTF, he's not starting. I did not see a report anywhere. It was that point I knew I was sunk. I was facing Holmes (against the non existant Indy def and the red hot Brees). I only managed 131 points with a big ole goose egg from Dillon.

So I better not ever hear again that there is no luck in fantasy sports, I was run rampid with bad luck. It looks like 2 undefeted teams left, good luck guys.....

That is pretty damn good considering your injuries.

Having those 3 on your team, I can't believe you made it this far without a loss! Looking at your roster, you have to be the biggest Tiki Barber fan in the world, as he is totally carrying your team!

Actually, all 3 have been consistant all year, that is the key. I do like Tiki . I'll be sweating it out the rest of the year, but i still feel confident. didn't I hear the Priest has a groin problem....

btw- I dropped to 24 from 19, and it has more to do than just one player.

I also have 975 points scored against me, the 3rd in my league, you guys are trying to give me a heart attack....

almost forgot to mention. here's the las vegas auction division breakdown. i'm in the Ambrosius Division.
AVG team pt total in the Ambrosius Division = 987
AVG team pt total in the Kessenich Division = 921

talk about getting raped

I can feel you pain, in 2002, I was 3rd in points scored and 1st in scored against. I was 4-7 and missed the playoffs by 40 points.

I happens alot to me.

I'm not going to complain about my draft slot (14th), because it is all what you make of it Gekko.

HOWEVER, I am 6-2, have 1031 points against me, and to REALLY talk about the luck factor, take a look at this;

The team I am currently tied with at 6-2 (Kate & Halle) have scored 86 points less than me, and have only allowed 977 points (actually not a bad amount). All that doesn't concern me, but this does.....

If you "flip-flopped" our opponents through the first 8 weeks (I play his schedule, and he plays mine), my record would still be 6-2, but he would be 3-5!

You want to talk about "luck" Vegas Gambler, that is it to a tee! The schedule is the biggest factor of luck, but hopefully it equals itself out throughout the season.

For the record I had a little luck last night as I needed 5.3 from Wayne Chrebet, and he delivered!

who did you take at 14/15? thanks.
