Thanks to this player pictured at left, I was able to defeat Renal Failure this past weekend 104-93. His name: Dallas Clark.No, he's not the Dallas from Phoenix like in the movie Forrest Gump, although that would have been pretty cool. No, this Dallas is originally from Livermore, Iowa and even has his own dedicated page on the town website. I don't know much about Livermore, but if it's like backwater dirt towns here in Pennsylvania, it probably needs to have some claim to fame, because there's probably not much else to the town. Notice, all you Livermore citizens, I say "probably" because for all I know there could be more to your town than just Dallas Clark.
He now is tight end with the Indianapolis Colts and even though they lost to the Tennessee Titans this past weekend 31-21, Clark scored two touchdowns and 21 fantasy points for me, helping me to the win. Thanks, Dallas.

I only took one gamble by the percentages with my team this past weekend, and it was a wash. Moments before the New York Giants were to play the Steelers, Plaxico Burress was taken out of the starting lineup. So I gambled and went with Domenik Hixon, who started for Burress, but only was played in 2 percent of public leagues on Yahoo. He yielded an amazing 1 point! But Burress didn't do much better by yielding only one point too.
Two guys I kept on the bench: Jerricho Cotchery, played in only 53 percent of public leagues on Yahoo, and Mewelde Moore, played in only 37 percent of public leagues on Yahoo, each yielded 15 points.
As for my opponent, though, two of his studs, Hines Ward and MJD only yielded three points each. Ouch. That hurts.

Meanwhile, The White Strypers led by Matt from That Tears It... got great performances from Nate Washington (Ward's counterpart), who was only expected to have five points, but had 12, and Kurt Warner, only expected to have 23 points, yet had 36 points. They helped him to a 96-91 victory over Leigh from leighonline.
Meanwhile, Lobo from Predator Press in his 81-71 loss to Canucklehead, forgot to play a defense! I suppose Lobo is too focused on his election campaign for John Nobody as evidenced bythe recent debate he had against Don Lewis. I know it's getting closer, but I still haven't made up my mind -- at least between these two. This weekend, I face off against Lobo in a highly-anticipated matchup (at least by me), because any time
Sorry for the lateness of my post. My computer was down for a couple days and I just got it back today.

I made the mistake of starting the season 4-1 with players like Jerricho Cotchery, Laveranues Coles, Reggie Bush (people that my brother and the other dudes in the league said were crappy) and then writing a blog mocking the other teams in the league. I have since lost 4 in a row. I'm in the league because my guy friends needed a 10th about five years ago. I won that year and got hooked. It hasn't gone as well since.
My point is, after the blog post, Bush got hurt and my running back was Benjarvus...i don't even know how to spell it, but he did get 7 points.
But shooting your mouth off about your team is what this league is all about. What, do you think we joined this just for the fantasy football?
True that. And, I'm all about spouting off and still showing my face on the message boards. What I need is for Maurice Morris to just pretend to be a running back this week. Is 2 points too much to ask? Yes, I have Maurice Morris. That's how dire the situation has gotten.
Maurice who?
Although hey, I have Derek Anderson. Basically he's a who this year too.
Maurice had four points. I'm going to consider it a success.
