Man that's pathetic.

Didn't mean to hijack your thread, Gordon. Carry on.

could be a long season (for both of us) if you want to question management decisions.

at least no one else had him in their starting line-up in our league

[/QUOTE]I will admit that we have made mistakes thus far. But I will also add that NY LEAGUE #6 is the sharpest bunch of fantasy ballers around.

I have been doing high stakes league for past 2 years.... Always had an underdog squad and ALWAYS made the big money game (WCOFF '02 & '03)

We expect to be there Week 14 with 5 large in the bank.....

but adding droughns woulda sealed the deal

Damn you, JP!

Come on Gordan, rub it in. You know I drafted Zereoue in NY6 and dropped him just before Wheatley went down and, of course, I have Wheatley.

I also have Moe Williams who would have gotten Moore's points this week, except for getting a mosquitoe bite on his calf, poor baby.

For all that, I had the top scoring RB playing for me this week...Droughns.

But somebody forgot to tell Harrison, Holt, Moulds and Glenn that their services were required this week, so ending my 2005 NFFC Main Event fantasy season.

JP, I barely have enough time to manage the 4 teams I have in the NFFC this year, as well as a local team. No idea you dropped Zereoue. Even if I did, it would be bad form to "rub it in". i know a lot of people take this seriously and might take a "jest" post a little far. i try not to single out any team and "rub it in".
