Copying you? I suppose it's certainly possible. Although it wasn't my intent. I'm just kidding... I doubt I'm the only one who got burned by the Colts and has sacrificed a kicker ever since. In fact, I know this for absolute certainty. I'm also absolutely certain that I have the optimum lineup this week! By the way, has anyone heard from the general? Last I remember, he was going through some "stuff". Even though we went after each other this year a little, I hope things are okay. Or at least manageable.

He sent me an IM a few days ago . . . he is not going to be very active, but he will check the board every so often. So, yeah, it's the offseason anyways, no big . . . he REALLY likes this league and isn't going anywhere. And look out folks . . . unless it is a Arizona/Baltimore SB then I will have a full lineup (except K) both this week and next!! BIG POINTS!!!!

And even though I was smiling after watching Warner and Fitz hook up for the 3rd time... I get the feeling the a 2nd half comeback by Philly is not out of the question.

Allright, how'd we all do? I threw up a 71, and have the following with me for the Big Game:
Big Ben Fast Willie Parker Fitz Boldin Heath Miller
Needless to say, out of moves.....
Should have not grabbed Fast Willie and saved the move for Pitts D......ugghh, DAMN IT!

Moving on up, but I made a critical error w/ 1 of my 3 moves before this weekend. I wanted to load up on Cardinals and Steelers, but FWP was not attractive against BAL. Therefore, I decided to use my last pick on Westbrook, hoping he would be able to have a big enough game and score more than FWP would in 2 games. Whoops...only 6 pts for next year's 1st round bust.
Here's to hoping Warner, Fitz, Boldin, and Steelers D can coast me past TD Machine.

was LT really the biggest bust of 2008? I know he didn't tear it up but he was a top 12 RB. He wasn't worth the 3rd pick in the draft but I don't think he was the 2008 biggest bust..

He was certainly not the biggest bust, or even the biggest first round bust. I think that title would belong to Addai, and he was a bust that absolutely nobody saw coming.

I suppose everyone has a different description of "bust"? There were a lot of "disappointments" that I'm not sure are "busts" that caused more discomfort than LT caused: 1. Tom Brady going down in week # 1, going stat-less for the year 2. Randy Moss to a lesser extent due to above 3. Derek Anderson losing his job 4. Willis McGahee's F'd up (3) headed monster situation 5. Braylon Edwards forgetting how to catch 6. Ray Lewis breaking Mendy's shoulder for popping off that will outperform Ray Rice. 7. Sean Merriman going down dropping SD D from first to BAD 8. Roy Williams dropping from a # 1 to USELESS 9. Carson Palmer's shoulder saga ruining not only his year but every other skill player's in Cincy To list just a few........ Bottom line is LT still did OK in certain situations this year, so long as you didn't start him each week, hopefully there was some benefit to having him on the roster, which may not have been true for some of these other "disappointments" of 2008....

In my opinion.. being injured is justification for having a down year and avoiding the "bust" tag. And LT certainly had a down year, but it wasn't because of diminished skills or not taking advantage of his opportunities.
As for my shot at a 3rd rounder... I'd say I'm about done. Too many points to make up with only 4 players left. While Warner and Fitz are two of them... Hines Ward getting injured sealed it. Had he played the whole game, there's no doubt in my mind that he wouldn't have gone over 100 yds with at least one score.

Hey TD Machine, what does your score of 311 rank you in the nation? My 264 is good enough for 73,795th place. I have noticed that there is at least 50,000-100,000 more contestants this year than there has been in the last few years.
