So... who's got Peyton Manning? Yikes.

That would be me.  Worried early, but he finally pulled it together enough to get me the win.  (Enough to get the Colts the win as well, apparently, minus a bad kick.)

[melack]

Yeah, Manning saved himself in my eyes. Started horribly, but the guy essentially came back to give his team the lead with a minute and a half left, only to see Adam V blow it for him.

If there's ever a guy to prove that reputations built upon playoff heroics are almost always bullshit, it's Viniatierri.

[KeithHernandez]

NY- Brady and Moss have been my team from day one, and it was their bye.  Just got to root for them to go undefeated so I don't get fucked in the playoffs.

LFM- Great, and correct, analogy.

At last, the losing streak is ended.  Naturally, it mostly was due to the ineptitude of my favourite '49ers.

My continued success in the league will depend on the performance of the Cowboys' defense and T.O. They play my Redskins this week, though. That's gonna be hard to handle. I want to win this week, but I will gladly take a loss if it means the Skins take the Boys down.

Annnnd just as I finally shore up my WR slots, Adrian Peterson tears an ACL! Yay!

[melack]

So apparently A-Rod has "side-stepped" Scott Boras, and is on the verge of signing a 10yr/$275m contract. Holy fuck?

[littlefallsmets]

I think what happened here is that this was the plan from the beginning...

Boras playing the bad cop, allowing A-Rod to play the good cop... and get more money out of the Yankees while still staying a Yankee.

And even if Boras wasn't directly involved in the negotiations, he's still gotta dot the is and cross the ts and get his percentage so why the fuck would he care if he gets the credit or not?

Boras is still getting a chunk of 27 million for the next 10 years instead of 25 million for the next two or three and... that's all that matters.

If that deal gets signed, it's all the more proof that Scott Boras is an evil fuck*ng genius.

[littlefallsmets]

Boras is evil, in that, he has his own team of coaches that teach the young players under his umbrella... sometimes in a completely different manner than the teams' coaches do... and it REALLY fucks 'em up.

Tries to make his players the most marketable players they can be in the short-term as opposed to the best players they can be over their careers and so on.

A lot of pitchers have been fucked up by that dude's representation.

[KeithHernandez]

First Half:  Tom Brady- 4 Touchdown passes, Randy Moss- 4 Touchdown catches.  Told you that was my team, A-CAP.

Edit:  To prove the point further; my two starting RBs:

The Associated Press reports Atlanta Falcons RB Warrick Dunn rushed for 32 yards on 15 carries in the team's Week 11 game.

The Associated Press reports San Francisco 49ers RB Frank Gore rushed for 32 yards on 15 carries in the team's Week 11 game.

I woke up late today (No work!) and the games had already started.  I fretted a little about having not set my fantasy roster, but then I realized that it didn't matter any more.  There is no redemption to be had.

[Carlos del Vaca]

We've got a meaningful Monday night game.  I am down two to Barksdale, but have LenDale White active tonight.  Hopefully he can avoid early injury or game-long sucking.

[Golfhaus]

<sigh> Clearly my plan to pick up players I hate worked. TO lit it up for FORTY-ONE points for me yesterday.

Of course, he did it against my team.

[littlefallsmets]

My plan to have the best running back and then also one of the top five running backs in the league and then have them both get horribly injured isn't working so well.

[jaydub]

Whoever I beat this week: What the hell, you did not deserve that fate.

I'm still kind of reeling from it to tell you the truth.  I thought I'd played my hand to perfection, but then Ben Watson ends up being healthy and scoring a touchdown.  I had started Vernon Davis on the theory that the Niners couldn't possibly underutilize him two weeks in a row - which was true - but Ben had the better day.
