I just won my fantasy football league, $25 per team, I drafted 10th because I won last year, I benched 48 point Aaron Rodgers AND Andre Johnson was a game time scratch off of Lesean McCoy's 4th quarter 28 yard catch and run.

congrats coolio.

i made playoffs in all 4 of my leagues and finals in 2 of them, but only won one ($50 entry), thanks to a half-assed effort by the eagles last night. i was so close to a massive pay day, but will settle for the prize money from one league with some runner up cash as well.

Congrats coolio. My team was rolling towards the playoffs then suddenly I lost the final 3 games and then lost in the first round of the playoffs. I did win my playoff consolation game so at least my team finished on a high note. :roll:

My main core group most of the season

QB Vick, Manning, Schaub
RB Mendenhall, Chris Johnson, Brown
WR Nicks, T Owens, Moss
TE Vernon Davis, Keller
Def Philly
two defensive players which I changed a lot throughout the season and same with the kicker


I had picked Vick up off waivers, same with Terrell Owens, Keller too. Chris Johnson really was not worthy of a number 1 overall pick this season and he spit the bit at the end which killed me. Nicks got hurt, Brown was terrible all year, Keller did nothing after the first couple of weeks, Vernon Davis was mostly terrible, Moss was good in the beginning then disappeared completely. Terrell Owens was a great pick up for me and of course Vick too.

Man things never seem to go right for me... **** my luck.... Doesnt help that I'm bitching on the god dam internet but today has been a really sucky day. For the second time in just a year it looks like I can't return home due to family problems, ones to complex for me to explain.. Still cant believe I'm posting this crab, but can you guys keep me and my family in your prayers or watever the hell you call it, I would greatly appreciate it...

From wiretap:

Felton was held back in some regard during his tenure with the Bobcats.

"I'm not going to say anything bad about Charlotte, but it was a different type of offense. This kind of fits me a little better. And winning makes everything good,''

So is Ray joining the bashing toward LB?

Sitting here going over old tape and watching the '95 Bulls (MJ, Pip, Rodman, Longley etc) Vs the Hawks (Blaylock, Augmon, Smith, Ehlo).

Wow. Was Pip ever good!! His post game was A+

So was MJ's, in fact MJ had the best post game for a guard PERIOD, even to this day. Even better than most forwards and centers. A lot of fans say the Bulls never had a dominant low post scoring big, but they never had to. MJ and Pippen provided them with all the low post scoring they needed. They could play at any pace...fast, quick, slow which was a key ingredient to how dominant they were.

Haha..

Knicks fans are beating **** out of Felton due to today's loss and 6-22 shooting, 6 Ast, 6 TO perfomance. He is more looking like old Felton of late.

I don't wish bad for Felton, but I truly hate Knicks.

They are? That sucks. He's been playing out of his mind for them lately. Hate to see them turn on him after one bad game.

That's just not fair.

They aren't turning on him. EVERY game is important in NY, doesn't matter what you did yesterday. Every game is broken down and every player analyzed as to why they helped to win or lose that particular game. If you aren't tough and don't have thick skin then you will not succeed in NY. Best place to be when you win but awful when you lose. And Ray still has to prove himself. Regular season games/wins mean nothing. You need to win and prove yourself in the playoffs.

Vick and Mendenhall helped out my Championship game but it wasn't enough to win. Finished second for the second year but $100 profit is pretty damn good.

And a random rant; **** the cable company. 7-10 days estimate to get cable and internet at my new house? I know it's 2011 tomorrow but still.
