You mock my Buckeyes and my Steelers in the same post?

I'm glad Butler beat UNC... :D

12-0 Buckeyes, but the Steelers looked terrible today.

I predict they'll grab a young QB in the draft next year. Just someone they can groom in case Ben goes down again.

Still, to only lose by 6, on the road, when you give up 8 turnovers is kind of impressive.

When I last checked at the end of Thursday, I was more than doubled up in score. Tonight, I took just now and I find, dumbfounded, that I'm probably going to win. I'd like to add it's because I got Larry Tynes kicking instead of Justin Tucker.

EDIT: Unless Coughlin keeps going for it on 4th. Wtf? Kick the field goal, you ass. Crabtree and Lynch let me the fuck down this week.

I tied as of last night. This morning, I find out Forte got hit with a fumble, knocking my opponent down one point, meaning I suck.

I'm in a 12 team league... we have a 4-way tie for 6th place (last spot in playoffs). I'm leading the tie-breaker in that group, at 5-6.

3 of the 5-6 teams won, and the 1 6-5 team lost, so we'll have another 4-way tie at 6-6 for spots 5/6. To make 7-6, I just have to beat the worst team in the league (2-9). Unfortunately, they were the worst because their owner was lazy, and did nothing during the bye weeks, and the byes are gone now. The team is actually pretty good, and has 2nd most points this week.

I've got Manning and Schaub as QBs. I've used Schaub past two weeks, but I think I have to go Manning against the Redskins... Although Schaub versus Titans isn't bad either.

I'm still tied for best record at 8-3-1. There's another dude at 8-4. The top two teams get byes the first week of postseason. Of us three next week, I've got the easiest matchup.

I had Schaub last year. His problem was when the Texans got out too far in front too early. They need a team that can keep up with their scoring. The way Manning's been throwing, I'd go him over Schaub.

I really don't see what they have to save by not starting Tebow or shaking things up in a major way.

Eagles to fans: Until the end of this season, we're riding this fucking Titantic all the way to the ocean floor, bitches. Strap in.

I need 2 of 3...

Denarius Moore v Cleveland
Crabtree at STL
Andre Robers at NYJ

I'm leaning Moore and Roberts at the moment until I hear Alex Smith confirmed as the starter.

So... I was the tie-breaker winner in the 4-way 5-6 tie. I am a tie-breaker loser in the new 4-way 6-6 tie.

Good news is that the team I'm playing this week has Brees as QB and Julio Jones as a WR. They combined for 13 points last night.

I'm betting a loss for me this week. That doesn't bode well at it looks like that knocks me out of a first round bye.

Awful story coming out of KC.

Pretty sure the panthers aren't playing this week.

Pretty sure the Panthers don't play most weeks.

But seriously...
The Panthers reportedly have been told by the NFL to keep plans to travel to Kansas City for the game.

More than a little surprised at that. The head coach literally just watched one of their own players kill himself, and all.

Maybe this dude was a stable, mentally together individual and all this comes as a major shock. On the other hand, some people exhibit signs of "crazy" long before the destructive surge, kind of like volcanoes. Maybe he's one of those. In that case, I'd imagine getting back to biz as usual seems the most reasonable option.
