My QB has the football equivalent of a perfect game - my kicker scores 14 fantasy points (13 real points) and my team still can't win.  I can probably lay this at the feet of the San Diego defense, who managed to score negative points for me.  Lack of Merriman?

"ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley apologized Monday for posting an explicit photo of himself on his Web site.

Cooley accidentally revealed more of himself than he wanted when he took a picture Sunday morning while preparing for a game against the New Orleans Saints. Cooley wanted to show the readers of his popular blog some of the study materials the players were given by coach Jim Zorn.

Cooley, however, said he was studying in the nude, and he didn't examine his photo closely before posting it."

He posted pictures of himself "studying" in the nude?

Hey, my crappy little shit-hole of a hometown is famous. I hear they finally have a movie theatre there.

The apology post on the blog sounds almost Achewood-ish, as if it were the text of a Roast Beef card.

Quote
All apologies from the website.  We are very sorry that we showed a c*ck on our website all day yesterday.  That was by no means our intention and we did not want to offend anyone.

There's a poster of Chris Cooley in the Lidz store at the Philadelphia airport (because nothing sells more hats in Philly than a picture of a player for Washington) that says "Helmet Off. Hat On." There's a joke in there somewhere.

I call bullshit though. Accidentally my ass. Chris Cooley strikes me as the kind of guy who would involve his c*ck in a touchdown celebration if he could figure out a way to get away with it.

It can't be good for your overall score that all the teams my players were on lost.  (Except the kicker).

I decided to give Matt Cassel a try today - playing the hapless Dolphins, it'd be a good day for him to score some points.

Oops.

Everyone on my team underperformed today. I dread looking at the score tomorrow.

So how was this weekend for you in fantasy football, G-dawg?

Well, Matt Cassell forgot to show up. I'd pull him from my starting lineup, but my other guy is Cleveland's Derek Anderson, who it is reported today is on the hot seat to lose his starting job next week.

My tight end, Jeremy Shockey, is out for 3-6 weeks due to surgery to fix a "sports hernia." What's the difference between that and a regular hernia? That's not snarky, I really want to know. What IS snarky is that I have to replace him. TEs don't make or break teams, but my team needs every point it gets.

Randy Moss was completely shut down (see Cassell, Matt, above)

And oh, my opponent had the Dolphins running back that got into the end zone four times, and then for the hell of it, threw a pass for a fifth TD. That was 40 points for him.

And yet, after all of that, I managed to pull out a tie (see the above post). Crazyness.

EDIT: And OH FUCK FIVE OF MY STARTING PLAYERS INCLUDING QB, WR, and DEF ARE IN THE GODDAMN BYE WEEK.

Argh - TD to Coles from Favre. Cool Boyz have this one in the bag.

I am doing surprisingly well for someone who knows nearly nothing about football.

I think the key has been to stick with the core of the team the computer gave me and just upgrade the minor pieces it gave me in the later rounds.

And then, y'know, just make sure that everyone's eligible and healthy for that week.

A dude is seriously hurting for some defense.  Indy sans Bob Sanders is still my best performer.

I wonder how many fantasy points Janikowski's 76 yard kick would have been worth had he made it.

Gotta love a Sunday where you made every possible roster choice incorrectly.
