I’m pissed off. Not at any of you, but at the players on my fantasy football team. I went from a strong, going to make it an Indy season, 9-0, to finishing the regular season 9-5. 5 straight losses AND I lost first place in the division. Ok, so I head into the playoffs with the 2nd seed. Not horrible.
Until I pull out a measly 48 points this week. What the h?
So, for all of you NFL players that read my blog, I have some words for you:
Eli Manning and Jake Plummer: Maybe next season, you two could get together and figure out who is going to have a good game each week and LET ME KNOW! Seriously. I think I started the player who did worse out of you two every week. Consistency would be nice.
LaDainian Tomlinson: You have been good to me all season. You’ve ran for touchdowns, you’ve caught passes for touchdowns, and you’ve even thrown for touchdowns. But in the week I need you the most, the first week of the playoffs, you give me 3, yes THREE fantasy points? Unacceptable.
Cadillac Williams and Julius Jones: Shame on you two. You were the heralded rookies coming into the season and you haven’t done crap for me. 1 point and 4 points (respectively) this past week and 69 and 55 points for the season. In comparison, LT has brought in 208 points for me. There are 22 running backs in the league that got more points that you, Cadillac, and 30 more than you, Julius. Hell, Samkon Gado, in 7 games has done more than you two have done all season. You two make me sad Like this: :(.
To all my wide receivers: Thanks for a lot of mediocrity for the past 5 weeks. It really helped me get ahead in my league. Asses.
So, I’m going to go from playing for 1st to playing for at most, 5th. Fantasy football officially sucks.
It’s hard for me to pity you after the season I had
And, in my other league, I lost to TRIPP in the first round of the playoffs. That makes me sad like this

Manning isn’t playing much the next few weeks, so go w/ Jake.
Rod Smith is the best unknown wide reciever out there you want him. Whoever that running back is for
the Chiefs would be a good pick up (6 100 yard games in a row). Who did you go w/ last week?
Manning did have over 300 yds passing to offset those interceptions. Jake played like the new Jake
we know and love.

Your homeboy from Denver did ok for me last week, but to no avail. Doesn’t do much when the rest of your team scores crap. So, thanks for the advice, but now that I’m playing for 5th place, I’ve lost motivation.

I used to start for the World Champion Chicago Bulls, but now I can’t even win at fantasy basketball.
At least you have your blog.

Ummm… Tara, Tim, just stop your bitching… I and at the bottom.
All I can say is injuries and those idiots coaching the Vikings not being able
to pick a single primary player. I got shafted with 3 players from that team
and I never recovered after getting pissed off in the 3rd week and dumping all of them.
Oh well… Still got 2nd in baseball in case you guys forgot!!!

Well, it’s your fault for picking Vikings for your team.

No… Philly was my defensive team and they did just fine!!! Following the
disaterous draft I got the shaft and had no one left to pick up… and those
I did simply got hurt!!!
