So apparently A-Rod has "side-stepped" Scott Boras, and is on the verge of signing a 10yr/$275m contract. Holy fuck?
Yea man, evidently Warren Buffet is like some kind of 1-800-help-line for zillionaires.

You know your fantasy team sucks when your bench pretend kicker scores a bunch of points and you're already convinced that you're going to lose, because you chose the wrong pretend kicker.

The KICKER, for God's friggin'.

Me too. I don't know shit about the NFL, so naturally, my team sucks. And despite the fact that I know/care more about the NBA than 99% of the other white dudes in America, my fantasy basketball team still sucks. But baseball? Man, there's a fantasy sport I'm actually good at.

As evidenced by, well, you know...

Somehow, I still got a chance of winning this week, even though I royally ROYALLY boned myself in terms of kicking and defense choices which... amazes me. I still might get to .500 which... is really my only goal at this point.

Getting up to the six playoff spots is probably unrealistic at this point, too many people ahead of me.

Might get Adrian Peterson back next week, though. That doesn't suck.

No, you should get the last playoff spot and beat me in the first week, for justice.  (assuming I get first, which I probably won't)


Actually yeah, I will get 2nd or third so you need 6th or7th I guess

Congratulations, whoever took the under in the Miami-Pittsburgh game.

You are officially rich.

Also, I think I somehow TIED this week. Oh man, if only I had competently used my kicker or my D.

I take solace in the fact that the only scoring done in that game was by someone on my fantasy team.

But solace doesn't give me a consistently decent receiver.

Maybe next year I'll pay attention before the draft?

Wasn't that great?  The ball looked like it was stuck halfway into the mud.

A) Sean Taylor dies. WTF!?! You just don't expect that shit to happen to these dudes.

Plenty of print on that here in the DC area, as you might expect.  Somewhat surprisingly, Michael Wilbon (of "PTI" fame) wrote in a chat session yesterday something to the effect of "I'm not surprised, the guy's a thug, always been a thug."  Of course, this was after he was shot but before he died; Wilbon might wish he could take that back now.

All day I thought they were talked about Sean Spraig (sp?) just because he's on the only Redskins player I know named Sean. Assuming he still plays for them/at all.

On WTOP I did hear one person being interviewed say, basically, we can't say anything negative about how he acted in the past because he's dead now.

I kind of wish they'd break from this story for 45 seconds or so to cover any other news happening today.
