Looks like I won't be repeating this year. My team sucks!! I had to make picks on the app from work while soccer parents were talking to me. Hopefully they will do well enough to keep me interested.

I would not have taken a QB as soon as you took Newton, but that said, he's a fantasy football monster, ranks up massive points as a thrower and a runner, and he runs for TD's which is huge in fantasy football, so while it was too soon for my taste, it will probably pay off and get you into the playoffs, because he'll probably post ridiculous fantasy points week after week. He can single-handedly win you close matchups, and big production is something you can count on week after week, thats the definition of a fantasy stud.
That run on QB's that you started scared the hell out of me last night. As I sat there watching the elite fantasy QB's come off the board in rapid fire. I felt like I was watching a game of musical chairs and I was going to get stuck without an elite QB chair. THANK GOD Drew Brees was still on the board for me when my turn came up. IMO that was the last of the elite fantasy QB's not counting Tom Brady who starts the season on a four game suspension. As I see it, I literally got the last chair. Initially I had planned on waiting another round to draft a QB, but after watching that run on QB's, I drafted Brees in under two seconds. I think that was my fastest draft pick of the night.
Thats a good point, I didn't realize that, but in retrospect you picked the right time to grab a QB, if you had waited until your next pick, two rounds later, I have no doubt you would have got caught holding the bag.That was some run. And I did not intend on starting it, but when I saw the need and Wilson come up, I knew I had to pounce. Remember, I had to wait two rounds between picks, after making my two.
And I lost with under two minutes to play in the last game of the week. One last, meaningless Desean Jackson reception put him over 100, gave him the two point bonus for going over 100 and .25 for the reception, and that was the margin of my loss. Remove that garbage time reception and I get the WSo I break 150 points, have the second highest point total of the week, and I lose.
So I break 150 points, have the second highest point total of the week, and I lose.

It happens, but it stings.
Watch next week I score the lowest points in the league, and lose by 1 to the second lowest score in the league.
If that happens (you are playing me next week), I will drive up from Stamford and buy lunch for both of us at a sports bar near you for one of the future day Jet games.
It's not that far. Just between Hartford and the casinos.
Ha, not far indeed. I've been meaning to drive to Mystic with the family for a few years now but can never get around to doing it. Perhaps we can do a long weekend in the spring or next summer, but I'll definitely let you know when we are going, and maybe we can grab lunch in the region.
Unless you and I have the two lowest scores this week (and I win)...
We are members at the Seaport. It's a half hour from the house.
who's in the lead so far?
I'm going to end up with the best record and highest points. Playoffs start next week. Two of us will have a bye. There are 6 teams fighting for the last 4 spots.
congrats and good luck! I think you were one of the better teams last year too
