Week 8 NFC Review

by Greg Reedy
NFC Guy/Glad to see the Steelers are in that other conference

After that Steelers debacle, pretty much anything can happen. Thankfully in the NFC, things were pretty much normal. And finally an important fantasy decision that actually worked in my favor.

Arizona at Green Bay - It's nice to know Arizona still sucks and loses to everyone. Brett Favre threw three touchdowns and E. James actually had a touchdown for that team. By the way, tell Arizona to never wear those hideous red pants again. GB 31, ARZ 14

Ronde vs. Tiki AKA Bucs vs. Giants - Just what the NFL needs. An extremely blah game with 40 MPH winds that made the wind chill feel below 30 and the entire stadium smell like New Jersey. YUMMY! Bruce Gradkowski proves once again that if you're a QB from the MAC, you probably didn't have a good week. (Gradkowski/Akron, Roethlisberger, Miami (OH), Pennington/Marshall, Leftwich/Marshall and he didn't even play) Tiki didn't score a touchdown and neither did Ronde. Tiki 17, Ronde 3

Dallas at Carolina - Thank you NBC for making the final two minutes of this game the gayest football I've watched since Kordell cried in Tampa. A massive 25-point fourth quarter led to a blowout win and Bill Parcells kissing any player he could after the game including Keyshawn Johnson from THE OTHER TEAM. Oh ya, Dallas made a QB change in Tony Romo. You know what rhymes with Romo. Enough said. DAL 35, CAR 14, Bill Parcells 7.

Fantasy thrills and spills (ESPN Points total)
Thrills: Larry Johnson (4 TD, 41 pts), LaDainian Tomlinson (41 pts) Reggie Wayne (3 TD, 1 2-pt conversion catch, 33 pts)
Spills: McNabb, Brad Johnson (3 INT, 1 pt) Big Ben (4 INT, 8 pts)

OK, here's that decision I had to make. At about 4 p.m. I still had Brad Johnson starting for me at the QB. At the last second I make the change to Ben. And I freak out after that point with the four INTs. Until this morning when I found out Johnson had 3 INTs and no TDs. Starting Big Ben gave me enough points to pull out a 90-87 win on the season to push the fantasy team at 6-2. Only four weeks left in that season until playoffs. Good times. For now.

Today's Halloween. Have a good one.

Week 8 AFC/NFC Recap

By Gary Ashley
AFC Correspondent/Beer Cannon Operator

Oakland at Pittsburgh - Five reasons to load the catapault:
1) The Steelers outgained Oakland in offensive yards 360 to 98.
2) Ben threw 3 TDs, one to Willie Parker and two of them to Oakland CBs.
3) Oakland was the #2 worst team ranked in ESPN's Power Rankings.
4) Anyone who said that the preseason didn't matter at all in Pittsburgh not only needs to be shot, but counting the preseason the Steelers are 2-9.
5) The Steelers are now tied with a bunch of 2-5 teams that we have poked fun at a good amount of time.
In short, The Steelers beat The Steelers. But rather than playing against themselves, they were playing with themselves. Ben's been injured 3 times in 5 months. Charlie Batch hasn't. Steelers versus 5-2 Denver next week, when the Charlie Batch Era begins. Oakland Steelers 20, Pittsburgh Steelers 13

Indianapolis at Denver - Undefeated versus partially undefeated, then again close only counts in horseshoes. With thoughts of Denver ordering the Jay Cutlery knife and spoon set, the reservations were put on hold as Denver broke the 20-point barrier for the first time this season. Peyton Manning threw for 3 TDs, all to Reggie Wayne while Adam Viniteri kicked a game winning field goal, this time not wearing a Patriots jersey and not in the Super Bowl. The Broncs managed 3 rushing TDs from Mike Bell and Jake Plummer to go with Plummer's passing TD. Next week, Denver plays Pittsburgh. Now's a good time to start your Sunday Christmas shopping. Peyton Manning 34, Jake Plummer 31


Seattle at Kansas City - Aptly named "The Backup Bowl" because both starting QBs for each team were injured. This was the first game without Mike Saddlebag at the helm and to many the first downfall of the Seattle Seahawks this season. Seneca Wallace played better than last week due to the fact that he wasn't napping on the sidelines and came in to stink up the place. Please hold for the following Bermanism: GRRRRRRRRRANDMAMAMAMAMAAA!!!! Larry Johnson scores the gameball for Reedy's Rockets with 3 TDs including the game clincher. Seneca GrapeJuice can breathe a little easier as next week they play the Raiders at home, in their effort to knock off the other Super Bowl team from last year. Trent Green will return next week for KC, so ESPN prepare the Nickelback music. Kansas City (I'm out of ideas) 35, Flock of Seahawks (and recycling them) 28


THE LIST
(of QB's houses to egg, corn, TP, and vandlize on Tuesday)

1) The Next QB to be Exiled from Pittsburgh, Ben Rothlisberger - 25/37 for 301 yds, 1 TD, 4 INTs (2 returned for TDs), lost to the #2 worst team in the league - The stuff fans pulled on Tommy Maddox's front lawn when he lost them the game in Jacksonville last year will seem like dropping a Snickers wrapper compared to what they'll do if he doesn't get back to being his old self.
2) Andy Walter - 5/14 for 51 yds, 1 INT - Raiders didn't win this game. Steelers beat themselves. You're staying on the list until you get a CONVINCING victory.
3) David Carr - 15/21 for 113 yds, 1 INT, 2 Fumbles - Carr finally got benched in Houston, and the backup almost wins the game for them. REPLACING DAVID CARR IN A FOOTBALL GAME!? BRILLIANT!
4) Bruce Gradkowski - 20/48 for 139 yds, 1 Fumble - Bro! Drink some Natty and play some XBOX and we'll see you next week.
5) Chad Pennington - 11/28 for 108 yds, 2 INTs - Another week on The List for the Kington of the Ingtons.

Week 7 AFC/NFC Recap

By Gary Ashley
AFC Coorespondent/Dennis Green Pink Slip Receiver

New England at Buffalo - Last time these two met Tom Brady had an off-week. Today, he was back to work throwing 2 TDs while running back Corey Dillon had two of his own. As for the Buffalo offense, it felt like a game of hot potato for them where they felt like getting rid of the ball as much as possible. And by Hot Potato, I mean the uncool 80s version with the cotton-stuffed potato. J.P. Loserman went 16/25 for 193 yds and 1 INT coupled with 2 lost fumbles. Loserman was probably better off sweeping leaves out of the gutters instead of suiting up today. Such was not the case of Bills kicker Rian Lindell that nailed all 6 points to almost make the over/under. Newfoundland 28, Rian Lindell 6

Green Bay at Miami - Brett Favre is not retiring until they make a sequel to "There's Something About Mary." There, I said it. Favre proved again this week that all the sports critics drinking "Doubterade" (is that even a liquid?) that he's still got the magic. Then again, it helps also when your competition is Joey Harrington, whom you may all remember from the company flag football tournament. Harrington was more erratic than a drunken Bengal on 66 throwing 2 TDs with 3 INTs to go with his 414 yds passing. Favre combined powers with John Madden and in a Voltron-esque manuever combined to become MegaFavre, throwing 19/35 for 206 yds and 2 TDs. Miami gets an off week, a perfect opportunity for that last-minute shark attack to go after Harrington's arm. Madden Morphin Brett Favre Rangers 34, Team That Needs Marino 24

Arizona at Oakland - "We're fooling Arizona Cardinals fans. While they weren't caring, Dennis Green switched his offensive coordinator with his quarterback coach. Let's see the difference." I had a strong feeling that Oakland's W would be for a win instead of Westside this Sunday. The Cardinals new O-Coordinator showed his brilliance by opting for a running play on a 3rd and 29 from the 1 yard line, leading to a safety. Apperently he had not bookmarked the chapter in "Coaching for Dummies" that explains passing out of your own end zone. Andy Walter got his first win, putting up bowling shoe-ugly numbers in the process going 17/30 for 263 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT and 2 Fumbles. The Matt Leinart Era of Trading has begun as he tossed 2 INTs while MISTER AUTOMATIC Neil Rackers scored all 9 Arizona points off field goals. I can now officially say that Arizona is the worst team in football. Oakland's Win Cherry 22, Neil Rackers 9

THE LIST
(of QBs to throw under the hay ride)

Matt Leinart (13/32 for 203 yds, 2 INTs) - We'll see him traded on eBay. He accepts PayPal.
J.P. Loserman (16/25 for 193 yds, 1 INT, 2 fumbles) - Voted "most likely to be wedgied" by all other NFL QBs.
Seneca Wallace (14/25 for 134 yds, 2 INTs) - Mike Saddlebag gets injured and he leads them to Seattle's first home loss in 14 games. Way to kill the party.
Andrew Walter (17/30 for 263 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT, 2 Fumbles) - Just because Oakland won does not mean you're off The List...yet.
Joey Harrington (33/62 for 414 yds, 2 TDs, 3 INTs) - Inflating your stats does not mean jack when your team loses.

AFC Week 7 Preview

I'll make this fast since the games are already underway and I procrasinate. Here's my weekly picks for those who haven't heard the show yet:

New England at Buffalo - Rematch of the "Greatest Safety Ever" game from Week 1. Expect J.P. Loserman to throw 2 INTs and NE to win it once again, this time by more than a safety.

Green Bay at Miami - Harrington is born a Lion. Brett Favre and company trounce the Miami Lions by 10 or more.

Arizona at Oakland - Amtrak. This is the week Oakland picks up their first win and Coach Green votes another off the island.

NFC Preview

By Greg Reedy
NFC Correspondent/non-grocery clerk

Here's the games:

Pittsburgh at Atlanta - The Steelers make a rare visit to Atlanta to take on the Falcons, and destroy the legs of Ron Mexico. I still like the Steelers, which means they will probably lose. I'll still pick the PIT. Pit 21, ATL 14

Minnesota at Seattle - I explained the premise of the intrigue of this game on the radio show. I didn't take my poison pills today but expect Seattle to win in a yawner.
SEA 24, MIN 10

NY Giants at Dallas - Some of the greatest personalities to choose from. T.O, Shockey, Parcells, Coughlin. There are others too but the shame of it is it's on Monday night, therefore Gary won't be able to stand it or even watch it. DAL 17, NYG 14

Week 6 AFC/NFC Recap

By Gary Ashley
AFC Correspondent/Raidah Hatah

It was a great week in football for everyone*. All of the winless teams* including Tennessee, Detroit, and Tampa Bay all picked up their late first win of the season and felt confident going into next week*. I'm sure they can look up from here*. Great to see that everyone in the league has at least a 1 in the W column for Week 6*.

Kansas City vs. Pittsburgh - Ben Rothlisberger could have played for any team* this week and still would have rocked faces in multiple places*. Ben was back to his before-dead state throwing 16/19 for 238 yards and 2 TDs, while Damon Huard went 16/32 for 162 yds and 1 INT. Huard's interception was one of the stranger plays that occured when the pass bounced off of Larry Johnson's helmet and into the arms of Troy Polamalu, who was tackled by the hair by Johnson. How DARE he disturb the fabled Hair of Yankovic! Chief's backup QB Brodie Croyle brought some of that 49ers starting QB magic, throwing 3/7 for 23 yds and 2 INTs. Those would be numbers that would not qualify any starting QB position on any team in this league*. Steelers fans, the image of Tommy Maddox is gone for now. Good times in Pittsburgh*. Steelers 45, Kansas City Wizards 7

Miami at New York Jets - Both -ingtons put on a decent show* and proved to be a viable battle for both teams*. Chad Pennington came out to be the pedigree of the -ington QBs going 17/29 for 175 yds and 2 TDs while Joey Harrington was born a Lion scoring a TD but with 2 INTs. The Dolphins almost came back to win it but were held off by the Jets for the win. The Lions have, but no other team in the NFL amasses a huge lead and then blows it in the second half*. New York Jetsingtons 20, Fire Joey Harrington 17

Oakland at Denver - Everyone was a winner in this game*. Oakland's Andrew Walter continued his stellar play throwing 13/26 for 189 yds and 1 INT, securing his QB spot for any team next season*. It was a modest game for Jake "Road Rage" Plummer only going 11/18 for 102 yds. Not exactly the blowout as predicted earlier, but thankfully John Madden talked about nothing* during the broadcast. The lone Oakland score occured in the 3rd quarter with nothing in the 4th, which meant for some boring television on NBC Sunday Night. Nothing new there, football or not. Expect Denver to not give up on their season just yet*. Coors Light 13, Sebastian Janikowski 3

*except for the Oakland Raiders

THE LIST
(of QBs not named Ben Rothlisberger)

1) "Brokeback" Brodie Croyle (3/7 for 23 yds, 2 INTs) - The former steer wrangler completed 3, missed 2, nabbed 2, and lasted all 8 seconds.

2) David Carr (15/27 for 128 yds, 2 INTs) - Best fantasy season my ass.

3) Ronald Mexico (14/27 for 154 yds, 1 INT) - Mike Vick is a running back in a QB's body.

4) Damon Huard (16/32 for 162 yds, 1 INT) - Thanks to this week, every Chiefs QB has made The List. The Herm Edwards QB curse is complete.

5) Andrew Walter (13/26 for 189 yds, 1 INT) - I heard Lowe's is hiring.

Greg Reedy
NFC Correspondent/Press Conference Fan

This week definitely had some thrilling finishes in the NFL and one VERY monumental collapse. Here’s the review.

Seattle vs. St. Louis – This game may prompt a change in the rule book. Apparently, Seattle was charged with illegal formation with :04 left. St. Louis thought it was a false start which would have been a 10-second runoff and game over. Not so. Seattle wins the game, Josh Brown does the fantasy team well this week in a late pickup. SEA 30, STL 28

San Diego vs. San Francisco – How about that 49ers defense? YEAH! The 49ers prove they are still a long way from winning and the Chargers prove they can still run the ball. Oh ya, in another fantasy note, Tomlinson has one of the all-time single greatest days in fantasy football league history (A whopping all-time best 37 points for ESPN) San Diego 48, SF 19

Chicago vs. Arizona – This might be the most hilarious game of the season.* Only the Arizona Cardinals could blow that kind of lead AND blow it for my fantasy football team by allowing three defensive/special teams touchdowns. I was cooked after the second one so I turned my karma machine on to make Chicago win and it worked! Perhaps the biggest highlight afterwards is the now infamous Dennis Green press conference where he punches a microphone, then goes out and fires his offensive coordinator before going to Sonic afterwards and having the #3 while paying through the drive-thru with his MySonic card. Dennis Green never did care for lines. CHI 24, ARZ 23

*Until Arizona plays the Oakland Raiders next week

Fantasy Thrills and Spills:
Thrills: Torry Holt (3 TD), Tomlinson (4 TD), Matt Hasselbeck (24 pts overall)
Spills: David Carr, Edgerrin James (Less than 2 yds per carry), Rex Grossman (A whopping six turnovers)

NFC Week 6 Preview

By Greg Reedy
NFC Correspondent/proponent of being warm

Chicago vs. Arizona – Somehow Arizona makes it on Monday Night Football and their reward is playing a Chicago Bears team that doesn’t allow the other team to score very much. Arizona shou consider this a victory if they score 10 points. They probably won’t. CHI 28-7.

San Diego at San Francisco – A battle of the two Sans and two team that have young quarterbacks. Too bad one of the San is the 49ers. Go with San Diego sans the powder blue uniforms. SD 28-17.

Seattle vs. St. Louis – The Rams are at hope taking on a team still cursed by Madden. Matt Hasselback has to have a big game for me. He probably will but I still think the Rams could pull it off. STL 31-21.

AFC Week 6 Preview

Before we get into this week's previews, RMU scored an impressive win at Homecoming in what would argueably be one of the best home games I have seen at RMU ever, defeating Central Connecticut State 23-17 in double OT. This game featured more drama than Lost, but without all the confusing plot points.

These are the only 4 AFC home games for the week in the NFL. The other one not listed is Carolina at Baltimore.

Kansas City at Pittsburgh - Ben, do you really think I enjoy having the image of Tommy Maddox on this website? Both KC and Pit feature starting QBs that have been involved in prior devastating accidents leaving both damn-near crippled, only difference being Ben's alive and playing bad and Trent Green's eating meals through a straw. Gary says: This is the week the Steelers get back in order. Pittsburgh by a touchdown.

Miami at New York Jets - Last week I said as a fantasy owner to avoid any QBs with "-ington" in their name. If you're a betting man, keep the money in the wallet as both Joey Harrington (Mia) and Chad "Ty" Pennington (NYJ) square off to see who will most likely be your reason for flushing your fantasy team down the toilet. Gary says: Harrington was born a Lion. Miami by 10.

Oakland at Denver - I am going to admit up front that this game is a lose-lose situation for everyone. For Oakland, currently one of the craptacular teams of the NFL, if they win against their longtime rival then it will put a blackeye on Denver's season. Should Denver blow out Oakland, then we get a 3rd quarter of Madden talking about the Raiders and Brett Favre. Gary says: I would only watch this game to see Oakland lose. Denver by 18+, 21+ in some states.

Week 5 NFC Review

By Greg Reedy
NFC Correspondent/slacker

St. Louis at Green Bay – Green Bay chokes another one at home while the Rams surprisingly win again. No Lambeau Leaps here. STL 23-20.

Oakland at San Fran – Which quarterback can be worse? Apparently, Oakland’s philosophy of hire cheapest quarterback you can get coupled with the cheapest coach you can get has worked wonder. Sure they’re winless. But they’re thrifty. This game moves the 49ers out of #1 draft pick contention and into 6-win contention. SF 34-20.

Dallas at Philly – TO came back to Philly. And he decided to whine because he didn’t catch much except a cold and a cold shoulder from his coaches. Philly wins again. Great, now we get to hear from Eagles fans yet again. PHI 38-24.

Fantasy thrills and spills:
Thrills – Larry Johnson, Rex Grossman, Chicago’s D
Spills – Any Oakland QB, Chad Pennington

Fantasy team wins to go to 4-1.

Week 5 AFC/NFC Recap

Gary Ashley
AFC Correspondent/Battery Thrower

Needless to say this was not a great week to be a QB. Let's get to the games.

Tennessee at Indianapolis - Who gets this feeling that Indy's either intentionally trying to lose to get some drama back or is actually messing up and it'll only be a matter of time before Indy loses? You know the signs when you're only winning by one point against the Tennessee Beerslugs that maybe some offensive adjustments need to be made in the second half. The Vince Young Era wasn't entirely shown as TN relied heavily on an effective running game that amassed 214 yds. AFC North's first place Colts trump the AFC North's last place Titans after shaming Kerry Collins with a sharpie on the sideline. Peyton Manning with a mustache and toupe 14, Vince Young Era 13

Miami at New England - The other showdown between the first place taking on the last place, this time in the AFC East. Dolphins starter Joey Harrington showed that he was born a Lion throwing 26/41 for 232 yds and 2 INTs, both to Patriots CB Asante Samuel. On any other week that would put him on the list, but be thankful for him that his atrocious numbers weren't good enough to make the list. Tom Brady, fresh off his paid vacation, threw 2 TDs in a rather ho-hum game. Make it a note on your fantasy team not to start any quarterback with "-ington" in their last name. New England Office Pool 20, Miami Goldfish 10

Pittsburgh at San Diego - Tonight's MartyBall winning numbers are: 17, 23, 33, 76, and 88. Bob do I have at least one number right? San Diemus pulled out the powder blue and turned back the clock against the Steelers, whom also turned back the clock to about 1988. While many Steelers are crying out for Charlie Batch to be put in, I however have another theory that I will explain in an upcoming column. Consider this game as the first time the image of Tommy Maddox has soiled the sanctity of this website. Truely a sad day in Pittsburgh. San Diemus Retro Shockers 23, Ben Rothlismaddox 13
THE LIST
1) The Detroit Lions (23 pts allowed in 4th quarter leading to a loss, Kitna 23/42 for 225 yds, 1 pass and 1 rush TD, 3 INTs, 1 lost fumble)
2) Chad "Ty" Pennington (10/17 for 71 yds, 3 INTs)
3) Drew Bedsore (18/38 for 223 yds, 3 INTs)
4) Ben RothlisMaddox (20/31 for 220 yds, 2 INTs)
5) tie - Andy Walter (14/23 for 164 yds, 1 TD, 2 INTs) and Marques Tuiasosopo aka "Samoa Maunapua" (4/9 for 52 yds, 1 TD, 2 INTs)

Week 4 AFC/NFC Recap

Gary Ashley
AFC Correspondent/Guy who owes his bookie a lot of money

Before I go off on a tangent,

1) I only got one game right this week. My bookie's gonna break my legs.
2) I nominate Jeff Garcia for Homecoming Queen.

Cleveland at Oakland - Oakland's new quarterback is going to become a household name to forget constantly here at the Hangover. Andy Walter put up List-like numbers, going 9/23 for 68 yds, 1 TD and 1 INT. Browns quarterback Charlie "#3 Combo" Frye usually puts up those numbers when not playing against JV teams, but had 3 TDs and 2 INTs, proving he's still not quite perfect. Randy Moss had a TD catch for Oakland. Who? Cleveland scores a charity win and next week plays Carolina, which might be the Panthers first charity win of the season. As for Oakland, good luck chasing Tampa Bay 2006 and/or 1986 for WORST. SEASON. EVER. AA Cleveland Sandlotters 24, Art Shell Senior High 21

San Diego at Baltimore - Baltimore has always been known for being a defensively-minded team. Then again, that's all they should put on the field and have Ray Lewis at QB knifing through defenders, pun and murder allegations intended. San Deimus Shockers QB Dr. Phil Rivers had his first NFL start and put on a good show going 13/22 for 145 yds, 1 TD and 1 INT. $6 Million QB Steve McNair had almost identical numbers, but it was the Ravens defense that got a hold and humped the Chargers into submission. Ed Reed's safety and Todd Heap,Heaphop,Heaphopanonymous's TD in the 4th put Baltimore in the W this week. E.A. Poe's Pros 17, Whale's Female Parts 14

New England at Cincinnati - Gary greatly apologizes to you the reader for thinking this game would be played in primetime. SportsIllusionrated has an adverse effect on the blog writers of the universe. Still, compared to the actual game that was played at the 8 pm slot, you probably would've wanted to watch this game instead of the 3rd quarter conversations and Mike Saddlebagging that occured with Madden. Tom Brady and the rest of the New England offense ran out of off days and came back to work with 2 passing TDs from Brady, 2 rushing TDs from running back Laurence Maroney and 1 rushing TD from Corey Dillon. Carson *Late Night with Conan O'Brien theme song* Palmer played more like Carson Daly, going 20/35 for 245 yds but with 2 lost fumbles and teen girl angst. Expect the Bengals and the Steelers to one day form an unholy Voltron to crush New England. Somehow the face of Bill Cowher on a 200 foot tall robot is hilarious. Tom Brady's Centerfold Wife 38, The Orange-Striped Jumpsuits 13

THE LIST (of QBs to throw under the bus)

Kerry Collins - 8/24 cups hit, 5 game dynasty (lost to the hot sorority girls), .012 BAC, passed out with his shoes on
Kurt Warner - 11/20 for 128 yds, 1 INT, 2 fumbles/1 lost, benched next week
Alex Smith - 13/25 for 92 yds, 2 INTs
Andrew Walter - 9/23 for 68 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT

Greg Reedy
NFC Correspondent/not a pick 6 winner

Arizona at Atlanta – The rare instance of two pick 6's in the same game. Arizona’s was not only a pick 6 but a coast-to-coast one at that and one so crazy the cameraman on Fox couldn’t believe his eyes that Arizona was scoring a touchdown. Kurt Warner got the start and in sheer amazement continued his sucktacular play as of late. Atlanta bounces back in a big way even with no big plays and their top wide receiver named Ashley. Atlanta 32, Arizona 10

Detroit at St. Louis – This may have been the most entertaining game of the day and yet NO ONE saw it unless you live in Detroit, St. Louis or one of those weird areas that showed the 4 p.m. regional game on Fox. St. Louis pulled out the win but at least the Lions showed they can score against someone. Marc Bulger continues to show Western PA pride. By the way, The Rams are tied with Seattle now. More on this in a moment. St. Louis 41, Detroit 34

Seattle at Chicago – The Madden curse continues on the Seattle Seahawks. This is becoming scary. Madden-related hijinx include:
- Losing in the Super Bowl with Madden on commentary
- Having Shawn Alexander randomly break his foot, Alexander on the cover of Madden
- Seattle gets creamed at Chicago again with Madden on commentary
- Madden and Mike Holmgren argue over Brett Favre and then go out to Outback after the game. (OK, I made that one up!)
Still, pretty sad state of affairs for that funny sounding Seattle city. The Bears weren’t so lovie-dovie with those Seahawks. Put that flag on your water tower. Chicago 34, Seattle 6

Fantasy Thrills and Spills:
As Always, I take a look at the week that was in fantasy football
Thrills: WR Reggie Williams of JAX, Santana Moss, Larry Johnson
Spills: Daunte Culpepper (Seriously, someone started him this week), JAX’s Defense, again anyone from Tennessee.
The fantasy team won again this week to go to 3-1. Next week, I play a team that is 4-0. Should be huge.
