i smelled victory in my fantasy football league.  i was convinced my opponent was not on my level; our cumulative point totals indicated i was the clear favorite.  i debated such intricacies as whether to start Santonio Holmes instead of Chris Chambers, or the upside of starting Bet the hitman Favre in a dome game.

I paid attention to the weather.  but the weather screwed me.

I was jumping for joy when i saw my opponent had two players playing in Foxboro this weekend, convinced that Tom Brady would do just enough to win the game.  he did.  but my opponent subbed Benjamin Watson in favor of someone else.  he still had mike nugent kicking field goals and that paind off for me.

i benched Roethlesberger and apparently wasnt having a good game until the end when he started racking up stats and TDs in a losing effort against the Jags.  he had 3 TDs, i believe.

Favre threw 2 picks and his total yards were not as impressive. 

and for whatever reason, i didnt check the weather update for Bufallo’s game at Cleveland, and that bit me in the dick.  Lee Evans doing next to nothing.

So I hear Tom Brady adn Tony Romo screwed their owners this week.  well, that’s the breaks.

what i cant understand is how Reggie Wayne and Joe Addai didnt fare well agains the Raiders! Both players carried me this year; even when one didnt do well, the other would make up for the lack of stats.  Sadly for me, they both came up with below average numbers in a week that truly mattered.

oh yeah, MY competition had LaDanian Tomlinson on his team.  he’s a beast.
