Bye week blues...

Nothing sucks worse than a bye week to kill your rolling start of a season. Football felt a little less meaningful without my favorite jersey on. I think less beer was actually consumed, which for Lupe is a definite sign of depression.

Bye weeks not only make a longing in your heart for YOUR team to play while you watch everyone else, but also tend to be the start of havoc wrecking for fantasy. I swear to it, ONE of these years I will learn to plan with those little numbers by the name, not just scramble on the dreaded BYE week. Tis okay, and lesson learned. Welker, you put up 14 little points tonight, and you sir, have saved my ass.

But on the bright side, my Chiefs are still the only undefeated record of the season....had someone told me I would be saying that the first week of October, I would have had to pull the bullshit card. But here I am, very happy and hoping this week we can make our fair share of Super Payton Pouty Faces™.

I'm sure my blues will fade with the always welcome MNF in addition to MND (Monday Night Darts) I shall leave you with a parting gift of maybe my favorite MNF commercial ever...

I CUT THE SLEEVES OFF CAUSE IT LOOKS COOL....NOW GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!

3 and Mother Trucking O

First order of business...my liver and I survived Vegas yet again. Sorry for the delay in posting, I just take advantage of the fact you are all used to it by now.

Yeah, I need to post, because when ever have I got to be this excited about Chiefs football for a long ass time.

I would like to start this post by saying, yeah...McCluster was my last round steal in fantasy and I started him last week in my flex. I was in the shower listening to the game, and about tore the shower curtain down yelling "GO GO GO GO" as he broke out and ran for touchdown. Happily there was no sliding and naked hospital-shower-concussed mishaps. Also, I finally broke my losing streak in fantasy.

But, all that fails to compare to being able to say CHIEFS...AFC WEST LEADERS!! Yes, I know..it has only been three games, but they are playing fucking GOOD! Our D is smashing, special teams is kicking ass, Weis is spreading that O out, for the first week since we wrote him the big check Cassel didn't look like a total douche and oh...despite fantasy owners wanting to lynch Coach McScreamy, we are leading the NFL in rush offense. " That'll do pig, that'll do"

THREE....

FRIGGIN FRACKING POINTS!!!

Yes, that is what I lost BOTH of my fantasy match ups by. TOTAL. As in lost by 2 total points in one league and less than a point in the other. Damn you LaToe, damn you all to hell. It is not a good start to go 0-2. Maybe I would be okay if we could take the QB position out of the equation. All in favor say, "aye"....all opposed, well screw you.

Have you missed me?

Yeah...I am sure you have....

Where to start....Training camp and preseason, FF, the Royals....DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER. Yeah, there is no way I can cover all I want to in the time allotted today.

Good news is I am going to attempt to be more diligent in my posting this football season, and if I don't you can cane me like a Singapore schoolboy.

I will leave you with this lil gem....man summer has been fun...

Yes, I spent the last quarter of the Giants game praying Eli would throw a pick so the D could get back out there. Thank god bye weeks are almost over for me and I can get some of my better guys back in there. Sigh

Bye Weeks....

screw me every time!!

No more Mrs. Undefeated here....
I took losses in both leagues I was undef in. One I am still points leader in, and still have the best record, other I slipped to third, tied with records and down in points....
I gotta say I do this every year, draft a team I am satisfied with and think will be good...they come out well (even have McNabb in one of them and worked around early injury) and then the byes come into play. Grrrr.

Just another week....

in fantasy, but yet I am still 5-0 in two of my 3 leagues. This makes me happy as hell, as I caught some slack for some of my early draft picks. My motley crew seems to be doing okay. Fantasy is a good mix of luck and skill, I think that is why I like playing so damn much. Anyone who says there isn't luck involved didn't pick up Austin off the waivers and start him last week.
