Fantasy Screw Up

Well, I thought that Ben Rothlisberger would have a rough night against Jacksonville. So in the heat of the moment, I started Brian Griese. Nicky Thumb told me it was the right decision.

I mean, what if Ben doesn't play? Then I have to snag Byron "Should be At Home" Leftwich and start him against a stingy Jacksonville Defense? Too risky. My game against Deans's Lybians was way too close.

Greise netted me 3 points. Rothlisberger scored 23 while riding the virtual pine in the PBRXFL.

Luckily Santonio Holmes didn't sniff the endzone.

Legends win...by 2 points.

at least you won;
last week I benched Chris Johnson and played Michael Turner. That was a swing of roughly 15 points, and oh yea, I lost by 1.
So this week, I am going to learn, i am going to play Chris Johnson and bench Michael Turner... oops, again I cost my squad (The Salty Meat Curtains) 15 points or so. At least this week, IF i can get 4 points out of Adrian Peterson, the move won't cost me a win and I will victorious against the 69'ers, Dinner for Two.
I have thought of lobbying for a format in which you get the best at each position, and don't have to set a starting lineup. That would reduce some of the strategy, but would also take some of the "luck" away from fantasy football as the best "team" is more likely to win under such a rule.

Good luck convincing Dictator Dodge of any types of change.

Dodge may go for that, he hates the "luck" part when it comes to fantasy sports.
