Fantasy Talk

Since there is little to no news I thought I might switch the topic to Fantasy Football.

I play in two leagues. In the main one(ESPN), I barely slipped into the top 4, so I still have a shot at the championship. I knocked off the #1 seed and start the championship game this week. Problem, is I just lost LaMont Jordan and I have Peyton Manning, so I am stuck trying to figure out an official word on how long they plan on playing him; otherwise, I have to go with Burnell. Not exactly the guy I want running my squad with the title on the line.

In the second league(Fleaficker), despite loosing Priest Holmes and Terrell Owens I an the #1 seed coming in with a 11 game win streak. Again I lose Jordan. I also lost my starting QB which was Kurt Warner. I will be playing Thomas Jones and Drew Brees in their place.

So how are your leagues going. If I remember or one of you do, next year we can start a WCG league with just us Bears players. Should be some fun.

I hate Aaron Rodgers

I was about to beat the #1 team in my league, when he came in and proceeded to let Baltimore's defense (the only remaining player this guy had) make up the 20+ points I had on him. How depressing.

On the other hand, count me in for next year's WCG league. The only league I'm still in is a Bears fans related league.

I'd play

I had issues with a few guys in the league that was I in this year and would certainly enjoy a change of scenery

Say it with me now "The first place Chicago Bears." Now doesn't that just make you feel warm all over.

I'm in...

Although I prefer a Yahoo league. They are the best.

We

can worry about specifics later. I was just floating the idea to see if anybody was open to the idea.

I'm sure

you could find enough Bear fans to fill two leagues next year.

I made the playoffs in all four of my leagues and won the first round handily in three of the leagues.

However... in the fourth league, I should have won handily, but somebody hacked into the commissioner's Yahoo account and altered all of our teams on Monday night after all the games were played, benching my QB (Brunell - 28 points), RB (TJ - 10 points) and changing my defense (Jacksonville to Green Bay - netchange 17 points) AND changing my opponent's QB (Brees to McNair - net gain 13 points).

I lost by 7.

My commissioner and I are trying to resolve this, but this is why I play multiple leagues.

Thankfully, I didn't draft a single Colts position player, so in my one league where I'm 13-1, I still have a full arsenal to take the league title this weekend.

Anybody else have a title game this weekend?
