It's not like it was that difficult, you were playing the Lions after all, who may not get their traditional Thanksgiving Day game any more.

Yeah, but they kinda got their traditional Thanksgiving Day beatdown :p

It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without the Lions losing. :p

Anyway, does Yahoo load slow for anyone else? The last couple weeks or so it's been going a lot more slowly than usual for me. Taking me forever to update my three hockey teams. :p

I almost feel bad for this win. I needed Drew Brees to get 33 points for me to win. He got 34. I really shouldn't have won that game.

Well, I clinched a first round bye in one football league, I'm in first in the football points league I'm in, and I'm sitting comfy in sixth in two others. :p

And hockey is looking up. While it seems to be looking down for someone who was in first in the points league for quite some time... ;)

Only because of injuries. :p

Plus, I did move up from 4th to 3rd, so, nyah.

How do you have time for that?

Easy.

I set my lineups Saturday night and don't check them until Tuesday to see if I've won or not (unless, of course, on Sunday morning it's announced someone is active or inactive). I then check my standings. It's simple, really. I just don't let it control my life. Between Tuesday and Saturday the only time I do anything is if I have players playing on Thursday night. Since the bye weeks ended, it's gotten easier. I'm first or second in all the divisions except for like, 3. I'm second in the Yahoo! League (about which I'm fairly bitter b/c I was first and I went on a three game losing streak.) I have ample time for it, believe it or not. I could support another couple leagues and Fantasy Football is fairly far down on my priority list. Working 6-2 M-F and having from 2-9 after work helps.

I was just checking my teams (in hockey) and I think Yahoo is glitching a bit. So double-check your players' info, i.e. injuries and such. Because when I was setting up for this week, sometimes a player would be listed on IR, sometimes not. So just double-check. So you don't have an injured player active.

Yahoo is pretty crummy about making sure they update players status. During football season it seems to be worse, because that's generally the priority.

And speaking of football, how awesome is it, that in the two leagues that I was in 6th in, I won in the first round of the playoffs in BOTH leagues. I would love it if I could pull this off in at least one of em. Last year I was an 8 seed, and won the whole thing. Post-season is all that matters! That's my motto!!

Well, I am playing to get to the championship in all three of my head to head leagues again, so I think my odds of winning it all in at least one league is pretty damn good. I'm also still ahead in my football points league too. If I won all four of these leagues, I think I may have to quit fantasy football, cause I would never be able to top a finish like that.

Wow, totally jinxed myself. Lost in all my head to head leagues, and I lost my first place spot in the points league.

Usually it's not too bad, but when it contradicts itself on half the pages I load, I get curious. :p

Since my wife told me to take over her leagues, I was playing myself in one championship, so I won. I won in another, and the third will be decided tonight.

I am really disappointed with how this fantasy season is going to end.
