after 12 years (dear God) of playing fantasy football with most of you, I've noticed a certain blasé attitude from the collective ownership. the same bad drafts. the same inability to use the waiver wire. the same go-nowhere, downward-spiral-into-ass-bracket seasons from some of you. these issues are bigger than arguing about Bobby Rainey's role in the NFL, or whether Toby Gerhart is a RB22 or RB23. the hate honeymoon is over, and some of you need to step up for the greater good.
bshelly -- you're old, so that would seem to make fantasy sports a priority, but then again you're yet (?) unmarried so you can still do interesting shit when not posting here. I think crossing the championship threshold was enough for you, and it's been autopilot since then. bragging about having Carolina's quarterback as a keeper is so 2012.
Ceej -- picking on our overweight bearded friend and your golfing buddy is a little too on the nose. and even then, you wrote love letters to Ser Piggy after losing to him this year. find new targets (theprofessional barely counts).
cereffusion -- being everyone's punching bag is fine and all, but it's funnier if I don't actually feel sorry for you. losing four in a row and generally inept management hurts me as much as it does you. please try and be better.
ErnestLee -- we all love your expert opinions on everything, but it's hard to take you seriously when Warren Coolidge has been to the playoffs more times than you in the last half-decade.
Frank Longo -- grow some balls. we need that Mike Greenberg, know-it-all-even-when-you-don’t-shit vibe from the podcasts back. the "wait and see" B/W "pessimistic pity party" gets you nowhere. the next time you end Ernest's season by a fraction of a point, dance on the grave.
KCPlayer21 -- you do all the background work and have kids...so you get a pass. although you should stop drafting old people as some twisted sign of solidarity.
Lost in Dubai / Brooklyn -- Bueller? letting KC win with 86 points is not cool.
theprofessional -- actually, just keep it up. there's still a certain irrelevance to your attempts at infuriating, because we know you're a paper champion, but you damn sure are trying.
other Asian -- I dunno, you weren't as annoying as you should've been for getting to the title game with Darren McFadden last year. now I just feel bad for your team.
smutsboy -- please think up some dumbass rule that will make us unify against you.
Warren Coolidge -- we all knew the cosmic forces that you had mastered for the last three years would come back to strike you down eventually. too bad we don't allow return yardage, you could be undefeated. please get back to your winning ways because it really pisses Ernest and cere off. and cere only posts when he's mad. also, try not to self-sabotage your playoff contender again, because even CyrenYoung won a title in this league...and until you do, your virtual Yahoo trophy case means nothing to us.
me -- not draft Montee Ball.

waiver move of the week
DROP: QB Kirk Cousins, Washington - the guy who was better than Drew Brees in a dome 72 hours before is now available for any team to pick-up. it's like adding the ninth pick in the draft for free.
****
week 8 previews
pro gets back on track against a breakdown-challenged KC team that is relying on Peyton against his nemesis, the Chargers. WC has a bunch of bad matchups and gets to see Ronnie Hillman fuck his team for the third time in two years. Frank is at full strength against Shawn, who is starting three receivers that are the fourth options on their own teams.
if the Smusher can't go, their might be a dueling Browns running back battle between smuts and Matinho, as both teams stay irrelevant. bshelly and cere enter the Thunderdome with two squads shitting the bed weekly, the former just being luckier based on schedule. can't wait to see if Doug Martin or Stepfan Taylor will make the difference in that one. and Ernie has a lot of good matchups, so in-game health-permitting, he should get the win over yours truly. --------
