Thanks Gordon, that is much more accurate.

I am trying to raise the extra $1250 for my charities that I lost in the NFFC when I decided to start Turner over Driver in the final week and finished in 10th instead of 5th overall. Look at it this way: it was less of a financial hit than Team Bayley going with Kevin Faulk over Julius Jones....

Team Bayley was in my main event league (New York 2). He had a great season as the points champ ($2500), and took home some extra loot in the Championship League.

On a personal note, I would like to add this: the pain of finishing 3rd overall in 2004 to Gekko was GREATLY reduced knowing that lineup changes would not have resulted in a title for me. As tough as it was for Out of the Shadows to come in 2nd, Team Bayley's situation has gotta hurt the most.

Okay, I'm going to leave this alone now before I dig myself a Barlowian Grave.

...it cost him $95,000...SNAKE Bayley lost by only 6.35 points, by playing Faulk (7.7 points) instead of J. Jones (34.1 points.) That's a hard one to shake off, or ever forget.

But hey, Snake, let's not exaggerate...he only lost $92,500 (winning $7,500 instead of $100,000).
