    Come join in the fantasy football league, they said.

    You'll have fun, they said.

    They were right- I'm having a blast!

    Wait, I see your problem. You keep picking players that don't score any points, silly! Don't do that next week, and you'll be good to go!

    So Bell just has to score me 48 points tomorrow night. So there's a chance.

    And @Blue Dog that offer is serious.

    Nett what you're experiencing is the first time dichotomy. Either you're BlueDog who just wins all the games, or you do horribly. There is no middle ground. Next year it'll even out. Season is still early.

    The thing is, I don't really know much about football... I just enjoy watching the occasional game in a bar.

    So for me, I basically did the "get as many projected points as you can" thing when drafting, and setting line-ups, etc., only to come find out that those projections are fucking horse shit and mean nothing. They're only there to taunt you into a rage after the weekend is done.

    If anything, we should have a trophy for the person who can amass the largest difference in points between projections and actual.

    And what makes the above approach worse is the fact I'm bet money that NFL.com predictions are the least accurate. Dion Lewis is still expected to get like .5 points a game. He's averaging 18 or something sick, while players who are shells of themselves are still skewing much higher, a la Peyton.

    Paging MoreCowbell... I realize I need a QB but I don't see how that trade could possibly be good for me. If you care to enlighten me I'll listen but on the surface it was good for a chuckle.

    Are you sure that isn't Rob, who is Single White Femaling me with his team name? I don't even remember sending an offer. Although if anyone wants some of these second tier running backs, they're available. Stewart in particular, I have too many Panthers. I'd listen about Palmer or Cam if the money right too, I guess.

    Dion Lewis is god's gift to me. That guy is doing fucking work. Thank you Mr. Lewis.

    Also, I'd like to thank MoreCowbell by looking at his stack of money, then looking at Edelman, then looking at his stack of money and saying "Fuck it, let Parker have him for $16."

    I now improve to 3-2, 5th place it looks like.

    I have not traded in multiple weeks and I'm getting itchy.

    You know how to contact me.

    You know you don't get points just for trading right? It's not football cards.

    I don't know, I'm starting to think I do. Every time I trade, I end up getting more points than I had before. I can give y'all lessons if you'd like.

    Yes the bye month is the break you take when you are in 9th place and watch everyone else in the playoffs.
    Good match up last week. It's too bad your beavers just weren't angry enough.
