I'm looking, but I got nothing so far. You have a J.J. an S.S. and M.M. but only three that follow that pattern.

Man, I didn't get half my guys. And I wasn't choosing based on skill ranking! I think the draft is corrupt.

ETA: Yeah, the pattern isn't there anymore, with the guys I ended up with. Maybe I'll work on some trades.

I didn't get ANY good QB! next year, I'm just leaving the ranking to the default setting. I'm going to have to watch that waiver wire.

I did the default setting. And I was just thinking that next year I'm going to figure out how to rank people in the draft.

How did Amanda get both Vick and Manning?

Interesting. I don't know a lot about football, but I know Eli Manning led the Giants to a Superbowl victory last year. Why was he ranked so low that he went 43rd? I would think he would be at least in the top ten. Are his numbers really that bad?

I got Rivers!

I don't even care about any points: Philip Rivers HAS to play for the River Rats!

He is terrible. You should trade him to me since my team already sucks.

Bummage. I drafted based on 3 defensive positions but it appears you use 1 player? What positions actually play? It looks like I actually have 2 QBs?

You have a defense that earns points, and one defensive player that earns individual stats like sacks or ints. You have a qb slot and a flex slot that can be a qb, rb or wr each week. Savy?

COWBooooOOOOOYS!

Demarcus Ware was a good acquisition. 2 sacks 3 points each plus a 10 point 2 sack in one game bonus! woot!, 3 tackles. 27 points from a defensive player is a rarity.

And this week I'm especially bummed that I didn't get Romo in the draft.... after his 300 yard 3 touchdown game playing for my opponent, who happens to be a lousy Eagles Fan.

not that blue is lousy, mind. the Lousy eagles.

lousy lousy lousy.

but it's a close game already. 75.1 to 76.7

Nah, my plan was to draft players with only prime jersey numbers. But I ended up with lots of other people on my list.

I have no idea what I did with the ranking to end up with Romo, but I sure am liking that score so far. Sorry, Jim.
