Unlike baseball, where I pretty much know what I'm doing, my football strategy is mostly "throw a bunch of guys out there and see what happens." I have no idea how I'm undefeated so far.

(I know my 5th-place regular season finish and sub-.500 record in baseball doesn't really look like "I pretty much know what I'm doing." But the strategy was "Be just good enough to make the playoffs, then knuckle down." If I'd paid as much attention during the regular season as I have during these playoffs, I'd have finished higher for sure.)

My team is evidence that despite my attempts to educate myself, I have no fuck*ng idea what to do in fantasy football.

Gotta love checking your team Sunday morning and discovering you need to replace your entire wide receiver corps.

Mother of fuck. Go Hawks!

On a sour note, I spent a half hour this morning debating whether to start Jennings or Alshon Jeffery. Felt good about both. Stuck with Jennings, which turned out to not be a terrible call. Never did it cross my mind to bench Nicks or Stevie Johnson for Jeffery. Jesus. There went at least 20 points I really needed.

I'm pretty sure Nicks can safely be benched or dropped without concern until the Giants figure out what they are doing.  If something good comes up on the waiver wire, I'm dropping Manning.

Did Manning get benched yesterday?

Not in the real world.  Just on my fantasy team.  I put Flacco in instead, and while he wasn't very good, at least he didn't earn me negative points the way Manning has twice this year.  I don't think he is a bad quarterback; his offensive line cannot keep the defense off of him and his receivers aren't catching what is thrown to them - or at least preventing the defensive backs from intercepting the balls.  New York has no running game, so the defenses they are facing know the odds on any given play are for a pass which allows them to tee off on the QB and shut down the receivers.

Does anyone else think the new Yahoo! logo is a rip off of Revlon's logo? Also btw I'm kicking all of your asses.

Yeah, only because I had to completely rebuild my wide receivers last week. (I also blame Santana Moss.)
And I had to do it again this week. yay

I just got knocked out of my eliminator pool, apparently because Yahoo didn't register my selection. I swear I put in Atlanta. And in any event, that game hasn't happened yet, so I should STILL be able to pick Atlanta. But nooooooooooo. BOO TO THAT.

Likewise, somehow Yahoo failed to recognize that I had subbed Charles Clay in for Gronk.  In our league, it doesn't matter because it looks like Nabu was too busy to adjust his roster (or perhaps was glitched as well), but in another Yahoo league I am going to lose this week because I had the same Gronk/Clay sub going on.

I think he's a great guy. Meanwhile the biggest contender to my undisputed reign is a little girl named Kaitlin.
