I am a fantasy football GOD!
After taking the DU Fantasy Football championship last year, I have joined two leagues this year, and I have finished the regular season ranked #1 in both! I demand you all bow down to me, especially GOPisevil, who is about to lose to me for the third time in a row on Sunday!

Go PA Bushknews! :bounce: :toast:

4. You'll do better next year
Next year remember to update your roster. Also, the good teams are constantly upgrading their teams on the free agent market.

2. I don't even care any more.
If I added the performance of my Yahoo team to the performance of my ESPN team, I'd still get my ass kicked.

I'm demoralized over the whole thing. I hope you win it all, because I sure am not.

OK - I'm not demoralized anymore. Now I'm ambivalent. :P

3. C'mon, it's no fun if you don't fight back!
Actually, I think this may be a plot by the universe to convince me that I should play in a money league next year, where I will of course lose my shirt.:tinfoilhat:

6. What's the point?
I'm just going to get spanked. The only reason I am in the playoffs in the DU league is because my "strength of schedule" was REALLY weak. Every time I went up against a playoff team, I lost (except when I beat Lynne). My team SUCKS. Look at my players. THEY SUCK.

OK - on to ESPN...the playoffs there have started. Playoffs are two weeks, cumulative score. After week 1, I am behind 141-48. Yeah, I got a chance. :eyes:

Oh well...there's always next year.

7. Baby, you better hope your team doesn't run into mine
161 points this week and I could have broke 170 had I played Buckwalter.

My team is so hot the snow is melting with a sizzle where I live.

I rule!!!!

11. Your team is definatly hot
You have a tough game this week, though. Should be a good one. I think a Finnfan vs. LynneSin Championship would be very interesting, however!

12. You had Quincy Carter on the bench.
All you had to do was bench Warner and start Carter. You're not stuck with your starting roster for the entire season.

17. That's OK, you'll be a better coach next year
And I'll get to kick the ass of a much better team!

Actually, I never even got to play you this year. My loss. Really. :evilgrin:

13. Informed?
Uh, it's just one of those things. I always check on the "Pick-up Players" link to see who's available. Check the injury reports, and pick up the players who were back-ups but are now playing because of injury. Being a fantasy owner takes work. lol

20. Ooooh...I remember those days...
Any topical pain reliever for the mouth will help. That Anbesol stuff works. Time is the only healer though.

19. In my league
my fantasy team had the best scoring defense, meaning my opponents' team always seemed to score the fewest points the week they played me (with the exception of week 13 where my opponent had chris chambers, jon kitna, miami's defense, and priest holmes).

22. You have to wait until next year
LynneSin (if she runs it again after her humiliating defeat) will make a thread in the Lounge inviting people to sign up.

Pul-lease - your ass is toast in the playoffs - I'll see to it that I set the toaster on BURNT!!!

(i'm so evil!)
