Since so many of you are big (American) football fans, here’s some space to talk about the latest NFL games. Whether you’re discussing your fantasy league players, the Steelers comeback against the Giants, or Andrew Luck setting a new rookie record for yards thrown in a single game, please talk it up in the comments section!
Doug Martin is a beast and deserves to be a higher draft pick than he was this year. Why did I have to target Legarrete Blount this year and pass up trying to get Martin?! Amazingly enough I still have a slight chance to beat Iceman this week depending on whether the saints have a good game or not tonight.
In another league where I do have Martin he scored me 80 points (it’s a ppr league). I’m still a little shocked by that.
Ha, ha… no you don’t.

I don’t think my chances in that matchup were that unrealistic, but it didn’t happen. I was hoping for a win there too in order to keep a better lock on my second place position. That just makes this coming week more crucial now.
I learned that the regular refs can be just as bad as the replacement ones.
Could have taken Smartguy off of his undefeated perch if I had played him instead of Bsukenyan. No worries, though. I will have a chance to do that this week. Finally, my plan to unassumingly make it into the playoffs is starting to pay off.
Also, the Dolphins may be mediocre this year, but at least they are vastly improving from last year. Philbin is probably the best coach we’ve had since Shula (who wasn’t perfect by the way [see: Marino]). I like the direction they are going, but they still have a long way to go.

I plan on losing in the championship game like the Buffalo Bills of my youth.
