Is there not enough actual football? Is this like Dungeons and Dragons? So many questions.

no, there is NOT enough actual football. no, it is not like d&d.
the only thing more annoying than fantasy football players is fantasy football playa haters.

If you're building a team of characters, to compete in imaginary battle, based on statistical attributes, then you're playing D&D.

Jocks are supposed to hate Nerds (according to Homer) so I don't know what to make of this.

In D&D, you have complete control over your Player Character's actions.

In FF, you have no control over the actions of the team members.

There are other obvious differences, but I believe that one is the most substantial.

And, we're all way fucking cooler as a whole than any group that plays D&D. No offense to those folks...it just is.

Looks like the Lumberjim family had the closest games this week. Jim and I were close...it was literally down to the wire last night, but the Sycamores prevailed over the Bullies 87-84. Jinx and the Girls kept it close as well, but Ep and the Vacancies eked out a 124-121 win, thanks to a huge day from the Vikings' defense.

Give me a name that's better than A.J. Feeley, and I'll consider dropping him too. But you can forget that whole "decide who to start each week" nonsense. You're lucky I bothered to figure out how to trade for a free agent. I'm going to spank all of you without making an effort--that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
so...you still have feely starting.....and uh...he had surgery today.

FANTASY ANALYSIS Unless you're a Donovan McNabb owner and have him on your team for some insurance, Feeley should be ignored in all Fantasy leagues.
looks like someone else got grossman. try again, k?
