2 RBP 212 10.5
3 Ednecks 200.5 22
4 Corky 192.5 30
5 Shak 188 34.5
6 SSS 178.5 44
7 JDB 172.5 50
8 B2 161 61.5
9 STB 158 64.5
10 Dawgs 156 66.5
11 LHC 151.5 71
12 JHHH 148.5 74
13 C5 145 77.5
14 Champs 143.5 79 Swimming with sharks
15 CPS 139 83.5
16 AJaye 128.5 94
17 Joefut2 127.5 95
18 GCobb 101.5 121 (SWS)

Teams I see in deep trouble for week #3....

Dawgs (Brady Bye, Holmes Inj)
AJaye (4 players scored more than 0 last week)
JoeFut (RB's are BAD)
JDB (No Givens and QB issues!)
C5 (Needs solid effort from Barlow, only RB)
B2 (RB's terrible, Winslow out)
LHC (1 QB is dangerous)
HHH (needs WR points, Branch off)

Teams that are very safe...
RBP (Immunity)
Corky (QB=Trash, but everything else is golden)
Ednecks (If he only had a kicker.......)
Shak (2 QB's scoring points helps)

Teams not listed are borderline one way or the other. EVERYBODY has holes at one position or another including me. I almost hope that I score low this week to cash in on the immunity :-) But not really, another 100+ is preffered.

My RB's arent bad, they are just in in AJAYES position, looking for a team to play on. I have to be optimistic with my situation, so, all season it is as if all three of my running backs are on bye-weeks and Im still hanging around. GO EAGLES!!!!

Yeah I'm hurtin a bit in Rb, but I was expecting that goign in. My Qb's & WR should be able to pull me through at least 1 more week. And I'm still in D-Nial Winslow will return.

JHHH has the right idea, if you dont get immunity or your not last it doesn't matter what you score or how bad your guys are playing, survive for another week and fortunes may change as we have already seen with a few injuries of note.

I think Scotty has it about right with his perdictions, a surprise canidate will appear after Sundays games...always does!!!

SuperClyde your a punk!!!! You know I'm here for at least another week.

NO brady, bennett, prob no holmes, this looks like it could be it for Dawgs. Bad timing, nothing personal, but i hope you get kicked off. Got to start unloading some of these teams with big RB's so some of us little guys get a chance. But who knows, what will happen, I mean it is pretty tight for the worst team this week and I am no exception. Who the hell picked trent green #1. Superclyde, you have a pretty impressive team there. Now how is it that Bruce got more points then Bulger......something is wrong with that.

It will be interesting to see who the first team from the "upper echelon" who is knocked out with a sub par week. Years ago I remember getting knocked out in week #1 scoring 33 points but ended up the season in the top 5 overall for points. I highly doubt just by mathmatical probability that the top 2 scoring teams face each other in week 17.

"Overly optimistic" as in what B2, WOW we got more then 3 first downs this week? Or Shockey hasn't been arrested yet or Manning was not killed by the Eagles in week 1. You might be optimistic B2, but judging by the last couple of years it has not helped the Giants much. Keep your faith as a Jets fan, at least they will just barely miss the playoffs. Maybe its time to join the Eagles bandwagon. Hurry up, the slots are filling up quick. Peace out Spanky. Ajaye, keep your head up boy!

Filleting, now that’s a funny word. Ednecks, First of all, if you are going to correct someone’s spelling, make sure yours is not jacked up (Beleive). Second of all, you are not correct; B2 (Air Force) is my little buddy, however he is “Aiming High” with the Homophobic SSS in Heidelberg right about now. Thirdly, if you are going to make fun of my running backs, please don’t leave the third one out, they all suck equally. (Gordon got lucky last week) B2, you don’t do my job, you baby-sit a French Ltc. all day, play video games then disappear in your own* room for a couple hours where you earn your nickname “Captain Spanky.” AJAYE, where you at man, have been looking for you. Heard you got hurt, if so get better soon so I can get those pictures of the Indiana Pacers cheerleaders. SSS, I let you go easy since you are on leave right now.

As for Trent Green, with Holmes questionable, we'll see if Green can take a hit or two. Lose to Houston & your right to claim KC as a legit team goes bye bye....

Teams I see in deep trouble Week 3:

Shak: No K, 1 QB, 2 RB, and 3 mediocre WRs is all he has this week. Four VERY good players on BYE week!

Dawgs: No QB, 1 questionable Priest, but a gaggle of mediocre WRs + 1 K could be enough to carry him???

Teams that are safe this week: RBP.

Looks like I will be dethroned after Monday's game, but I will still be there. Vick had a horrible game, so all I can hope for is a good game out of a banged up Brunell. Alexander didn't have the yards, but three scores will help. Bruce had the yards, just no score. Not a great week for me, but enough to SURVIVE!!!

It should've been Shak...poor drafting strategy having your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th picks in the draft all on the same BYE week (plus your kicker). This poor strategy (or lack of) may now carry him a long, long way. If he can survive this week and it looks like he will (currently 34.5 to AJayes 26.5, both have a Dallas WR tonight), againm, IF Shak can survive his BYE week nightmare he could be a force to reckon with. Also depend on how hurt Davis is... Shak got very lucky....how many other weeks will McNair and Tomlinson combine for 11 points? Shak got lucky...maybe.

Hey Jon how exactly are you getting the totals from each player weekly? If you go into sortable stats for each position for each week it should make things much easier for you. Your pretty smart though so I bet you already knew that. If Shak survives week 3 he's golden thru the rest of the bye weeks.

I was going to lay low in this league, so I could concentrate on being a commish in our dynasty contract league and playing in two big money leagues. However, when MSgt Hobdy kicked the sleeping dog and challenged my manhood, I just had to respond.

There are two trains of thought regarding bye weeks in survivor leagues: either spread them out or front load them. Either way, you want them out of the way sooner rather than later. After the first few rounds of our draft, I thought it would be a good risk to front load.

Was I worried this week? Absolutely! In fact I'm still worried, but I liked my chances. I had Carr and D. Davis (vs. KC) against McNair (vs. Jax) and LT (@ Den). I also thought my WRs were superior. I win that matchup 9 out of 10 times. I'm also disappointed I didn't outscore the Dawgs, who had no QB, only one RB (albeit was Priest) and 5 mediocre WRs.

As for the rest of my "poor strategy or lack thereof", I have a top 5 QB (Pennington) with a solid backup (Carr), 2 solid RBs (Dillon and D. Davis), 4 capable WRs and a good K. I also have the backup for my #1 RB. That makes 10 solid players. Not a wasted pick. How many owners can say that?

I usually don't like to talk trash, but have you taken a good look at your lineup? :-0 You weren't really counting on Gannon being your week 8 fill in for Brooks, were you? I think Delhomme, Plummer, or even Carr would have made more sense in the 4th round. M. Faulk also has a bye in week 8, but you were probably figuring Moe Williams or Richie Anderson would step up to be starters by then, right? Whoa, what's this? Your K and TE also have byes in week 8? YIKES!! How could that have happened? Is that Slim I see getting on his horse? Good news is you're probably safe until week 8. Bad news is Slim has circled his calendar for week 8 and put your name in it. You are looking at having Jamal, Branch, Parker and SEVEN zeroes for week 8. That sounds like about 25 points. Even if you do get by week 8, which you won't, you have to worry about Jamal's legal difficulties. I guess that's why he slipped to #17. Oh well, 8th place ain't bad.

For your sake, you better hope that Keyshawn goes off tonight, because if he doesn't, my sorry little team could go a long way and I'm going to make sure you hear about it every step of the way.

I look forward to your response (if you have one). Have a nice Air Force day.

I was wondering why JHHH was giving the Shak daddy a hard time? Jon Hobdy is one of the fairest, easiest going guys I know and normally doesn't have a bad word to say unless someone attacks him. Shak has woken up and layed down the law, I'm normally the bad guy and giving everyone lip..all I can say is it's refreshing!!!

I honestly don't believe Shak loaded up on week 3 byes on purpose, because you just wouldn't do such a thing. I do think his team is pretty nice, but right now Scotty has the best team and all others are at least 10-20 points a week behind him, so survive and try and last as long as possible. Weeks four and five might be my downfall, I just got to beat one guy!!!

Looking forward to what JHHH has to say. As far as BBM, you boys should have pasted me long ago, I lost Beltran, Frank Thomas and a few good pitchers and you still couldn'y catch me....I'm in the final of our Keeper league, BigEd is on a roll....Look out baby!!!!!

Jimbo, HHH and the rest...

I don't see anything wrong with any of the comments posted by Jim or Jon but look at it as verbal sparring with a little smack thrown in for good measure. I think that Jon was just adding in a quick tidbit to add a "little something" to his email. JHHH is the absolute nicest guy that I have ever met and I would trust him to raise my kids so I know him pretty well. I like how Jimbo replied and he kept it professional as possible. HHH does give you props though and says you may go all the way.

During the season/after the draft is the time to talk about the draft and what your strategy is/was if you even had one. I tried to make it a point to spread out my bye weeks, some early and some late. I figured tha tafter all of the starting RB's were gone that I'd load up on teams #2 WR's and hope for teh best. Guys like Bradford aren't exactly studs but I figure he'll catch 8 TD's this season and be servicable every other week. The Foster pick just happened to work out for me, I gambled and came up with the right backup. Eventually Davis will be back and Foster will be a backup once again. I do have T. Jones in 3 of my 4 leagues though and that was by design. I just had a good feeling, can't explain it. The lack of a backup QB WILL be my downfall though. Could have taken Brees but I figured that the Chargers would start losing and Rivers would get half the season as the starter, we'll see.

I can understand frontloading with early bye week guys as your odds are better with more teams availble then later bye weeks. I tried to spread them out also like Scotty, I dont want to say Shak is telling porkies, but I don't think he did it totally on purpose...If he did and it looks like it may work out...I tip my hat and say well done!!!

My favorite draft pick was Q. Carter.....I'm still LOL....

Scotty,
I suppose Jon did throw some props in there after dissing my draft strategy (pot calling the kettle black?) and in between the 3 references to me being very lucky. I'll take your word for it that he is a swell guy. And I also want to take back anything bad I might have implied about Richie Anderson -- I love that guy!

All is fair in love and war (and FF!)
I say spread them out but if your going to go on teh same week go early, I agree with that. You must take chances though. You can make 10 safe picks and finsih safely in teh top 8 but who cares if your in 6th, 7th or 8th--They all pay the same between 18th to 4th place so take some chances on a few guys and see what happens. My team is scoring like crazy but all it takes is one injury and things could immediately look bleak for ole RBP. If I could do it all again I'd go RB/RB/QB/QB then 4 WR's, 1 RB and a K in pretty close to that order.

Go RBP!

Jon is a great guy. Shak, I bet you're getting tired of hearing that. Not knowing you drafted that way on purpose, his comments seem just. You have great players, but I also questioned having so many on the same bye.

I don't know who the heck I am to question anyone's draft. I picked a @#$% WR in round one! I still can't believe that.

Ok, first of all, TEST RBP's urine! Thanks for taking my kool-aid man, I thought this was my week until you had two WR's playing like they were on a video game on easy mode. Second of all, yeah, Jon is a great guy, get over it. All you guys saying nice things about him is making me hate him. Lastly, add insult to injury. First you tear your Achilles then you get knocked out. Hats off to you Ajaye, it was quite a feat to make it this far with only 3 players. I'll pour a 40oz in your memory this weekend.

SHAK, I am going to apologize on behalf of everyone on this message board right now. You are a pure genius. I did not realize that you had so much skill in the art of fantasy football. I did not know that way back when we began this draft you recognized that in the third round it would be a shootout between you and Ajaye. And yes you are absolutely right; McNair and LT would get their butts handed to them by Carr and D. Davis any day. We might as well just all quit now. YOU are the king of fantasy football!

You guys are acting like I made a personal act on Sweet Jon. Was anything I said over the top? Anyway, no worries. I'm over it. I just find it awfully ironic that Sweet Jon attacks me for my drafting a QB, RB, WR, and K with a bye in week 3, when he did basically the same thing in week 8. Who really had the poor strategy? Doesn't anyone else see the irony? Guess not. Oh well, I guess I should be happy I got through my "BYE week nightmare".

Jon, no hard feelings. You don't have to defend your draft strategy. All is forgiven. You can come back to the board now. :-)

Maybe you should take some Ridilin(R) and relook at the post.

"It should've been Shak...his excellent drafting strategy of having his 2nd, 3rd, and 4th picks in the draft all on the same BYE week (plus his kicker) may now carry him a long, long way. Since he survived this BYE week nightmare he could be a force to reckon with. Also depends on how hurt Davis is... Shak got very lucky....how many other weeks will McNair and Tomlinson combine for 11 points? Shak got lucky..."

Was I hoping Shak would "get fired" this week? Absolutely, who would you rather face in the coming weeks? AJaye or Shak?

PS. I didn't draft Gannon, I left a list that wasn't followed exactly as I explained it. I should have had Joe Horn if the list would have been followed to a "t" then you could've really given me a hard time about my BYE week nightmare (8).

I'm certainly glad that you got me involved in this board because this league is so much more interesting now that I have taken the time to get to know all you swell guys. I'm sure going to miss Joe when he leaves. It's a shame his Miami RB scheme didn't pan out the way he planned.

Interesting...because I did try to look up the spelling.

Results 1 - 10 of about 5,960 for ridilin

At least 5960 people got it wrong too...but, you're correct it is Ritilin.

Jon, perhaps I over reacted. I apologize, but don't you see the irony in your statements? I think there are two lessons to be gained here: 1) Let sleeping dogs lie and 2) Something about people in glass houses.

Have a swell Air Force day. God bless all of you for serving our country (and I really mean that).

That's what I meant, Ritalin. Last post was a typo ("but, you're correct it is Ritilin.") Ritalin.

Bottom line is Shak got lucky to have Ajaye still around to get him out of trouble. He's not a genius, but Luck does "Fortune the Brave".

I'm the only FF genius still alive, now that CCobb has left the building. Scotty may look good now, but just like his Love life it always lacks stamina and he peter's out in the end!!!

Joe M off the rock this week just because I don't like his face!!!!

What started all this was me trying to correct Scotty Too Hotties original post. He said:

"Teams I see in deep trouble for week #3....

Dawgs (Brady Bye, Holmes Inj)
AJaye (4 players scored more than 0 last week)
JoeFut (RB's are BAD)
JDB (No Givens and QB issues!)
C5 (Needs solid effort from Barlow, only RB)
B2 (RB's terrible, Winslow out)
LHC (1 QB is dangerous)
HHH (needs WR points, Branch off)

Teams that are very safe...
RBP (Immunity)
Corky (QB=Trash, but everything else is golden)
Ednecks (If he only had a kicker.......)
Shak (2 QB's scoring points helps)"

I was trying to prove that if you really looked at the facts Shak was hurting this week. I said:

"Teams I see in deep trouble Week 3:

Shak: No K, 1 QB, 2 RB, and 3 mediocre WRs is all he has this week. Four VERY good players on BYE week!

Dawgs: No QB, 1 questionable Priest, but a gaggle of mediocre WRs + 1 K could be enough to carry him???

Teams that are safe this week: RBP. "

I easily could've included AJaye in this, but that would've been too easy, because you could include him in each week. (Plus, I gotta look after my Kosovo crew.)

So I didn't miss the mark by too much. Shak finished 15th, the Dawgs finished 13th and would've tied Shak had Priest not played, and RBP scored immunity again with a monster week.

So we've lost two FF rookies (Champs and AJaye) and one FF god (GCobb). Champs making any of you feel insufficient, yet?

Cheers, JHHH

Shak said, "It's a shame his Miami RB scheme didn't pan out the way he planned." What are you crazy man, there was no scheme here. Unlike you, I am not going to lie and say that I picked the worst trio of rb's in FF history in order to fulfill some master plan and win it all as a planned underdog. No, it was the fact that the starting RB for the dolphins seemed to change every time I made a pick. And lets not even talk about my 1 carry wonder Hambrick in Arizona. But hey, maybe I should take a page out of your book and say that when I originally drafted Minor, Gordon and Warrick, I knew then that in week, uh lets say week 8 they would easily be able to handle your Dillon, Moss, and Davis. Yeah, that’s the ticket. 142 rushing yards total for all Miami rushes for the season and I’m still kicking. I’m winning this one for the Gipper. Next week without Moss will be tough, but I think I will be ok. And Ednecks, it looks like you will be in some QB trouble next week, sshhhhhhh!

It's fairly obvious that Scotty was giving me the benefit of the doubt based on my past drafting prowess. Besides that, he also needs to make sure he is nice to the commish of his dynasty contract league in case he's able to pull off any more of his ridiculously one-sided trades.

As for Edneck, the FF Guru, the time is running out on your miracle run in BBM. I had my roster geared to face you in the first round of the playoffs, but then Scotty went into a September swoon and will probably end up in 4th now. I'll see you in the Championship round.

Jon, try not to use the Google search engine as a spell checker.

Joe M, are you calling me a liar? You don't even know me. At least wait until you know me before you start questioning my integrity. I'll give you the same courtesy.

I absolutely swear that I picked Pennington and Moss with my 3rd and 4th picks (back to back at 3.18/4.1) knowing that they had the same bye week as Dillon in week 3. Like I said, my scheme was to get my top players thru their bye weeks as early as possible. I was prepared to have my decision point early. I'm in it to win it all and not just get to week 8. I did screw up with Kasay, but if you know my disdain for drafting kickers, you would understand that oversight.

By looking at the rest of my picks, I'd think someone out there ought to believe that I put a lot of thought into each pick. Scotty? Tim? Mike? Fairy Godmother? Anyone? It's gets lonely being a genius.

I think we've run the course on this subject and the conclusions are,Shak has a good lineup weather on accident or not, bottomline Jon is a fair guy and everyone thinks he's groovy!!, Edneck is one bad MOFO, Joefut knows jack about FF and I dont have Culpepper this week and hoping Bledsoe gets me at least 15 points.

Joefut off the rock and on minefield duty!!!!

Joefut off that rock, yeah thats about right. On the otherhand, it seems like you are still hitting the crack cocaine pretty good. That was pretty stupid huh? Hey its 1230 in the morning, give me a break.
