I love the smell of a draft first thing in the morning.

Dammit, just found out I have a meeting at noon, so I'll be missing the draft.
There's no way I'm going through and ranking all the players. I'll just have to trust what Yahoo throws at me again - usually fairly decent for the first few rounds, then some really wacky defensive picks.

That's my biggest beef with the autodraft--Yahoo's IDP rankings are bizarre. There's no rhyme or reason to them. I remember one year drafting some guy that was at the top of their IDP rankings, and it turns out he was cut by his team a few days earlier. Meanwhile, Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher were ranked in the middle of the pack.

Is anyone else going to join me at the draft? I'm feeling a bit lonely.

Looking over the rosters, I think the Fishies seem to have the most balanced strengths on offense. Augusta has an eye-popping WR duo of Moss and TO, but Willie Parker and Michael Turner at RB could be disappointing. The Shitehawks look strong with L. Fitzgerald, Roy Williams, S. Jackon, and MJD, but Jay Cutler at QB...

Well, statto has completely obliterated me in another league, but he has a small lead over me in this league--the one that counts. (yyyyyeahhhh....)

Save me, Purple Jesus! I'm also counting on you, Donald Driver.

Ass Press - After the ghost of James Brown bought the Bangladesh Bengals (formerly the Bushwick Bills and Caldwell/West Caldwell Sopranos) and moved them to his hometown of Augusta, Georgia, fans of the OTFL laughed at a once-proud franchise being bought by the hardest working dead man in show business.

However, after getting on the good foot and making some hot pants moves, the Browns are suddenly the greatest team in OTFL history: Stacked with two of the top receivers in the game, to go with a rejuvinated McNabb and Willie Parker, it's safe to call this season...

What is it with you and McNabb, jv? So mocked in real life, so reliant upon him in fantasy ball. Just wait until his knee explodes in Week 7.

Looks like we don't need to be going easy on the newbie Femme Folle--40.99 points ahead of Badh Erdely.

I just want to let him know what it feels like to play on a winning team.

I also broke my holiest of holy vows: To not have a Dallass Cowbozo on my team. I dropped Marion Barber last year, and didn't pick TO when I had the chance 2 years ago.

However, I need a championship. It's time to make some deals at the crossroads with Ol' Scratch.

I was just talking to the manager of tblock20, and he brought up a good question--how on earth did you get both TO and Moss?

Karmic payback for the past two year's shitbag teams I suppose.

Last year I was hard-pressed to score 25 points a game (and that was from my defense.)

I just caught McNabb on an injury and Drew Brees on his bad year, Willie Parker on a broken leg, and Dwayne Jarrett.

I deserve this team.

Jay Cutler WK1 - 18.75, WK2 - 30.30

Didn't play him either week.

But then, Aaron Rodgers hasn't been too far behind.

I'm blessed to have Romo in this league.

In my other league, however...Carson Palmer. That's what I get for having a Trojan on my team, I guess.

You have to feel for the Squishy Fishies. Sitting on their bench they have running back Ronnie Brown, and his 37 point haul, including 4 touchdowns. In their starting lineup, however, Brian Westbrook rushes just 12 yards all game.
