Pittsburgh RB's = LOLno
Hahahaha... (I've been hanging onto mendenhall in my office league :(

How's Larry Fitzgerald working out for you?  Whoda thunk that Felix Jones would end up being the star in that trade.
yeah...  :-\

I also can't believe my game is hinging on Bradshaw getting > 10 points.

Me, I'm just thankful.  I basically needed Demaryius Thomas to outscore his own QB, and that he did.  Eric Decker must have been caught sleeping with Peyton's wife or something.

I need:

1. Tom Brady, Andre Johnson, and Owen Daniels to get a combined 32.9 points out of a projected 34.1 to secure my win.
2. Arian Foster to put up 16.6 points out of a projected 15.66 to prevent a Tunneling to Victory win.
3. Stephen Gostkowski to get *less* than 22 points of a projected 9.53 to prevent a Sinister Pandas win.
 
Coinflip to the playoffs!

That would be American football. I do like soccer, but not as much as football. (Fantasy soccer does exist, but I don't think you can join proper leagues where you draft players.)

Ok I'll pass then, my knowledge of American football is probably too limited!

(there are thousands of fantasy leagues for all major sports, both free and charging. Not quite sure why people are seeming thinking it's limited to just specific sports!)

Well, fantasy football holds a very unique place in American culture, something I don't think fantasy soccer possibly replicates in the UK or any other country.

I'd be down for it.

United http://www.oberfoul.kopfball.org/fm/fm_ligasystem.php (fantasy players, though) was big before internet became known in the general public. I am subscribing to a zine which is active for 25 years.

Football has not the drafting system as the American counterpart has, and trading is more complicated to implement.

This was a bad time for you to go on a 3- (possibly 4-) game losing streak.

Also, I don't know why I started Bryce Brown over Ridley.  I guess neither HOU nor TB is a good run matchup ...

And the worst part about Percy Harvin's injury is that now I actually have sit/start decisions to make.  Before my WR core was straightforward, the same three guys every week.  Now it's a cavalcade of mediocrity rotating in and out of my WR3.

I am totally psyched for this game tonight.  Not just for Arian Foster, but for Texans v Patriots.

Brady has gotten you there, and Arian Foster is close ... just 21 more yards.  At this rate your biggest threat is Stephen Gostkowski kicking 18 more extra points, given how porous the HOU defense is.

Yeah, been watching.  Hoping the Texans don't start stopping NE to field goals now!

I can't believe this team lost to Arizona at home.  WTF

Admittedly I think HOU's defense is overrated (see Jacksonville) but Brady is basically getting first downs at will.

Welp.  Your Tom Brady put up so many points Arian Foster isn't playing any more.

Sorry Axxle :(  I'm sad too.  My winning streak!

Bah, and I would have been third seed if you had won. Now it's fallen to me to extend your losing streak.

You wish.  There isn't a single one of my starters I'd trade for one of your equivalent starters.
