    Maualuga, Crabtree, Moreno and could be there, too.

    Crabtree and Moreno are draft-eligible sophomores.

    With Drew Brees eating up yardage, you CANNOT play for the field goal with Martin Gramatica. Just cannot do it.

    Point taken there. Just a mistake-filled game for the Saints, from start to finish.

    Anyone else win their fantasy week cuz of that interception?
    <--Cuz this guy did

    I had the Vikings D and was down one point, when Brees threw that misguided missile, vaulting me ahead by a point. How fucking beautiful?

    You can go fuck yourself. I started Matt Schaub over Aaron Rodgers, who was supposedly one hit away from getting shelved and leaving me with a big fat zero. Oh the irony. Then Schaub gets a widdle tummy ache and can't go...BUT IT'S NOT ANNOUNCED TIL LIKE 45 MINUTES BEFORE GAME TIME! And Rodgers racks up nearly 40 pts, which would have given me a win going away. Instead, I lose by 12.

    I now loathe Matt Schaub with the power of a thousand suns. He can go fuck himself.

    (also, since you're a newbie, let me explain that I'm not really telling you to go fuck yourself, it's just a figure of speech. except with Matt fucking Schaub)

    BYH, have you now benched Rodgers for his two biggest weeks of the year?

    Epic fail.

    1.) Asshole Pallister, don't you have a Rolling Stone to read? :)

    2.) Stupidface Zeke, what choice did I have? Rodgers' shoulder sounded like a ticking time bomb. Favre is my backup but he's off. Schaub had a big game last week and I figured Andre Johnson coudln't suck forever. Seemed like an easy choice.

    I hate you all and I hate fantasy sports.

    Well since you're kidding, I had A-Rodge too.

    Well, if Rodgers hadn't been such a diva and gone ahead and announced he'd be playing, you wouldn't have had to make that choice.

    They're all divas.

    Roethlisberger acts as if his arms are falling off, then goes and throw for 300 yards.

    It seemed the Packers' indecisiveness came more from the coaching staff, but who the fuck knows.

    Stupid question, BYH, but if you found out 45 minutes before the game that Schaub wasn't playing, why not switch? Or is that past your league's deadline (and if so, why)?

    Does anyone think the NFL will ever acknowledge the importance of fantasy football to its ratings/popularity? Would it hurt them all that bad to make it mandatory to announce crap like this in time for the millions who want the info to use it? This "we don't want our opponents to know who's playing quarterback" crap is just that.
