Quote of the day
"At least I won't look back and say, 'I wonder if I played could we have done this or that.' We know now." -- Brett Favre, after sitting out a loss in which the Vikings were eliminated from playoff contention

Daily blurb
On paper, a pitching rotation of Halladay, Hamels, Oswalt, and Cliff Lee sure sounds potent. Of course, as the Miami Heat can attest to, the “paper” doesn’t actually play the games. But if the Phillies can score runs this year, there’s potential for four 20-game winners, even though Hamels hasn’t yet won more than 15.

The first round of the RIFC playoffs went “anti-chalk” this weekend, with all four of the top seeds going down and out. The same thing happened in 2004, the inaugural season of the RIFC, when the championship game was contested by the #6 and #8 seeds. It’s not all that rare for favorites to drop in this format. Some say that’s one of the “charms” of fantasy football – that if you can get into the playoffs, on any given weekend… So to those of you who got booted early – consider yourself charmed.

Kudos to Sage157, whose Football Pickoff score of 731 steamrolled the competition this weekend, almost 300 points better than the second best score. He missed only the Miami-Jets game. One more week like this and he’ll get his YTD score back above zero!

I don't think it's fair to refer to the Heat in that regard. Any reasonable person wouldn't have projected them for over 70 wins this year. 26 games into an NBA season is still a fairly small sample size. A record of 18-8, riding a 9 game winning streak, and they are only going to get better as they learn how to play together as the season wears on. They're still going to finish with ~57-60 wins - hardly a disappointment really.

Raise your hand if you have a Bob Feller autograph.
