Son of a B*$*$*.... 6 TD passes and not one to my Reggie Wayne? Who am I to complain, though - Julius Jones pulled in 27.4 pts. to help offset your 6.3 pt. love to my man, Reggie.

I would have hoped for about 30 pts. out of those 2 this week and got 33.7. Coulda, woulda... shoulda...

Manning, Stokely, S.Alexander in LV2.
Harrison in LV Auction.

Wayne + D.Clark + Henson = 8.45, on Gecko in Mid A.

Great Turkey Day.

Great Turkey Day. aren't you the team that's getting a good old fashion beatdown in the main event and the auction? if i'm wrong about that...i'm sorry...

looks like you "got me" in the midseason league. good job there. although it does seem like you did a "bad" job with your "main" teams. with 20+ years in the industry and knowing how to play each "draft slot" you seem to be underperforming. again, maybe i'm wrong. care to share what's going on? i normally wouldn't talk about this, but you opened the door. right? thanks in advance for your cooperation.

great days after turkey day.

can any owner who has manning on their team AND doesn't make the playoffs be considered a "bad" owner? opinions? thanks.

Gordon, does anyone still want a one-week playoff in Week 12 for the $5,000? Talk about luck coming into the equation of fantasy football. If you led your league all year long and then went against a team that had Manning or Harrison -- or God forbid both of them -- you would have an uphill climb in this one-week playoff format. Do you agree?

Those incredible games is one reason why I hate the one-week league determiner. Too much can happen to offset a full year of competition.

great days after turkey day. [/QUOTE]In the main,
I had injuries to McAllister, J.Jones, B.Lloyd, Branch, Vanderjagt, and Kennison that left me around 205 four weeks ago. I entered this week at 110 and defeated the first place team last week. If the rest of my guys this week can play very well, I might have a chance for the miracle comeback next week.

In the auction, I took a gamble on M.Faulk and lost. Only my second auction ever. Play another card GG. Only one team can win.

In Mid A, things are going well, but the #2 team has Manning, so the road ahead will not be easy.

In Mid-A, Why did you sit THE hottest WR (7 td's last 4 weeks) for committee RB? Muhammed coming off a great game for O.Smith? Answer that Mr. Glass House. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

It's not clear to me which is a better measure, best record or highest points. If those honors are split, I think a playoff would be great. There's actually a way to do that and not change your schedule.

If the season stays at 13 games and finals are weeks 14-16...

Leagues where best points and best record are won by the same team, that team wins the $5000 and 2nd and 3rd are awarded per the rules.

Where best record and most points are split, week 14 ALSO counts as the playoff for 1st place versus 2nd place. No problem with the "finals" as both will qualify anyway and they remain at weeks 14-16.

Let the best team win
