I feel sorry for the Redskins. I'm pretty sure they'll be stunned into losing.

Hey Leish, when did Pittsburgh change its team to the Bumblebees?

EDIT: Why are they picking the '34 uniform? To remind everyone of the height of the Great Depression?

Because Nike hasn't sold that version yet?

The bye weeks are hitting my RBs in one league where I absolutely fucked up my RB picks this year. Ray Rice and Lynch are the only two I had worth starting and I got one half of a backup. I paid out the ass for the only other starting RB on the waiver wire this week, LaRod Stephens-Howling (I can't help but picture the were-car from Futurama whenever I hear his name). Rice is on bye. This means I had to pick between were-car at Frisco on Monday night and the third RB from KC (granted, KC's playing the shitty run D of the Raiders). I had to grudgingly start were-car for now, but I suppose I've got another three hours or so to flip-flop.

LaRod is the dude that got the unenviable Arizona RB job with Beanie Wells hurt and William Powell sucking, and there might even have been one other dude they burned through. The third RB in KC is Shaun Draughn, who's good for about 5 - 10 a week. He's not a starter so unless he gets garbage time and breaks for a score, he's only useful if he's catching passes. LaRod might see 10 carries. I could see him getting anywhere between 3 - 15 points. Fucking 12 team, 16 man roster leagues.

I'm the team with 40 points.

J Feely FTW... 1 FG or a few PATs and I'm there.

On an un-related note, 2 pt conversion tries should totally be returnable.

So-So weekend.

The real teams I root for both won easily, while both of my fantasy teams got crushed.

My replacement TE didn't pan out. My D and kicker contributed 4 combined fucking points. Phucking Phil Dawon.

Well, you can't blame Dawson. The weather shut down both teams.

This is the second week in a row, I believe, he's kicked one fucking point.
